About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life — dogs of all ages, guinea pigs, fish, and more. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and fun! With no evening classes this semester, I have plenty of flexibility in the mornings. Walking dogs fits perfectly into my routine, and I enjoy starting the day active and outdoors. I give dogs freedom to sniff, stroll, and play at their pace—always sticking to their routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
“My cats were in good hands with Katie checking in on them and spending some time with them as well! She even left some cute treats and toys for them. Katie went above and beyond and also collected my mail while I was out of town. I’ll definitely Italy be reaching back out next time I need a sitter.”
“Abby is the sweetest!! She played with my cat Pasha every day and kept her fed and watered. She sent me tons of photos and was so quick to respond :) Pasha seemed so happy throughout Abby’s visits and I returned to a such happy cat! 100% will be booking Abby in the future.”
“We love Laura and our cat, Cleo, does too! We were away for 9 days, and Cleo seemed super happy and healthy with Laura! She cared about Cleo as if she were her own cat, and I am glad we booked her! We will definitely rebook her next time we are away. We also love all the photos and rover cards she sent! Laura is super thoughtful too, and she seems very experienced with hosting and handling cats.”
About: Previously worked as a veterinary technician at my nearby vet. I have a lots of knowledge about dog and cat care. Before the vet my experience includes having grown up with dogs my entire life. The first dogs we had were an Australian Shepard and a beagle and then we got a labradoodle and we currently have two pitbulls. I love dogs and I’ve helped train, take care of and walk all my dogs my entire life. I will work with your schedule for the best times that work for you and your dog. I’m working on earning money to go back to school for my doctorate. I live in a very dog friendly area, perfect for walking around. Unfortunately, I don’t have a yard but I will walk your dog as needed.

“Allie is terrific. She comes by once a week to feed and walk my dog Perry Como. Perry has taken to her and she is really nice. Very reliable. I feel confident leaving Perry in her care. I highly recommend.”
“We were so pleased with Madeline's care for Remy during our time away. After meeting her and seeing our cat curl into her legs, I knew that the bond was already there. We were never worried and enjoyed the photos and knew that we'd find our cat and our home in perfect condition....and that was our delight. We would like to leave Madeline an extra tip for her good work! Thanks Rover and thanks Madeline!! Nancy Chapman”
About: My whole life, I've provided care and love to a series of five lovable golden retrievers and numerous other dogs. I've promoted their health through frequent walks and exercise, given comfort to them through play and cuddles, and have paid the utmost attention to their needs. I taught one of my family's current goldens to obey commands when he was a puppy and helped the other to overcome his fear of swimming through gentle encouragement and coaxing. I will provide all this experience to ensure your dogs enjoy their time! I'm currently a PhD student at WashU and so have the majority of my availability in the evenings and weekends. Weekends are best, especially considering the rigors of the school year. My philosophy with pet care is to be gentle but fair. I will go along with the pet's needs for the majority of the time and encourage their development through correction of their behaviors, when necessary. This correction will be done through verbal warnings just strong enough to get the message across, without being overly hostile.
About: I had 2 cats back home in Italy. I took care of them since they were 4 months. I like helping friends with pets when they are out of town. I am a scientist at WashU from 2020. I took care of my friends dog last year and I loved walking him out in tower Grove during summer. I don't have to possibility to get pets for now but I miss having them around. I had 2 cats back home and I have been looking friends dogs in the past. I believe in commitment and responsibility. I am an 37 year old lady that would like the same attitude from others. I would take care of your pet as I would like others to take care of mine.
“We ran into some unexpected issues, namely my front door keypad malfunctioning and locking her out, but she kept her cool and was more than patient and accommodating while I figured out a solution. I felt that my dog was in good hands and appreciated her coming by before to meet me and my dog, and learn the ropes. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Sunny with Emily in the future!”
