About: Dogs have been in my life since I could crawl. I've raised and trained bigger dogs since I was in grade school. I currently have a sweet 11 year old mixed breed named Luci. She gets walks, car rides, and trips to the lake whenever we can make it. Taking care of dogs has always brought me immense joy. I would love a chance to care for your furry friends too! I'm flexible with scheduling walks and drop-ins. Mornings are more complicated but I can make them work if needed. Please feel free to reach out to discuss what you and your pups need! Whether your pup has a favorite route, likes to follow their nose to new spots, or wants to wander to nearby parks, I'm here for it!
“Natalie was a life savor helping us in a last minute dog watching need! Our dog became sick just before a trip (unable to go to the boarders) and Natalie was able to help us with less than 24 hours notice! She took wonderful care of our dog and was great at giving updates!”
“Jenni was great! She was very attentive and happy to take care of all the needs of our dogs. She was reliable and punctual. She kept me in the loop after each visit which set my mind at ease. I really appreciated her time and TLC.”
“Maddie was great! She sent great pics & updates about Remy! I was nervous about the weather and she ensured my building and cat was okay! She’s great! She’ll be my new go-to pet sitter!”
“Karen is a wonderful partner. I’ve booked her twice to take care of my cat Maggie. Her reliability, honesty and genera love for animals has made her a ‘favorite’ person of mine to contact for pet sitting.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.
About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me
“Suzanne took great care of Taotao and was very reliable throughout the booking. She followed the instructions carefully, communicated well, and made me feel comfortable while I was away. I really appreciate her help and would be happy to book with her again!”
“Samantha was very communicative about what my boys were up to while I was away. She also was able to fit me into her schedule on a late notice. This was the first time I left my cats at home and didn't have my mom watch them with an asthmatic cat and I was not worried at all. She's the best!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a dog or cat in my home! I have a Boxer who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention pets need at every stage of life. As he’s gotten older, he’s settled into his own routines, but he’s still just as loving and energetic as ever! He also experiences anxiety, which has taught me how to recognize signs of stress, provide comfort, and administer medication when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I’m a full-time college student, but my class schedule is flexible, with some later classes and earlier days. I’m happy to work my schedule around your pet’s needs and am willing to commute to campus in the mornings so I can provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I’m committed to following your instructions and caring for your pets just like I would my own pup! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, so I’ll do my best to keep their routines consistent while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding time, walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands! 🤍
About: I love dogs and cats and have some extra time so I couldn’t think of a better way to fill it. I have previous experience working as a dog walker. I’ve had dogs and cats as pets and feel comfortable with all sizes. I’m always the go to dog sitter for my friends and I really enjoy it. I think it’s really fun to get to know others dog personalities. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I really value good communication and will strive to be as available as I can. I’m super over protective of my pets and will definetly extend that with yours so you can feel comfortable when leaving your met with me. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t get along with! My schedule is lighter this year at work so I can be available evenings, nights and weekends mostly. Can also accommodate early mornings if needed. I have experience with dogs in crates and am comfortable using different ones. I take safety very seriously and would treat your pet as my own.

“Violet was great! She did everything I asked her too do and some more. While I told her to just put the dirty cat food plates in the sink, she also washed them. She also took out the trash with the cat litter. I can tell my cats enjoyed their time with her in the daily pictures she sent me. I would book her again.”

It was a wonderful experience! My pet sitter was incredibly kind, caring, and reliable. They took great care of my pet and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate all the love and attention they gave my pet. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!
Jake was always quick to respond and great about sending us updates and being flexible on short notice. I really appreciated his care for our two dogs and the concern he showed in making sure they felt cared for while we were away. I will definitely ask for his help in the future and trust him to do everything we can’t in our absence.
Claire was wonderful with our puppy Vinny. Vinny has been struggling a lot with separation anxiety and was had Claire come to watch him while we were out of the house for a few hours. She was sure to keep Vinny comfortable and cater to his needs (which can be difficult with a needy puppy). I would book Claire with 100% confidence and look forward to working with her again.
Candela is such an amazing dog sitter! She came over to meet Auggie ahead of her first time watching him. She gave him lots of cuddles, refilled his water, and gave him multiple opportunities to go outside while I was away at work. She is a great communicator and followed all of my instructions. Auggie was visibly happy in the photos she sent and clearly became quick friends with Candela! Very glad to have found her to take care of Auggie on a weekly basis! Highly recommend!!
Katie is amazing with my pets! She takes time to play with them every time she visits. I have a senior diabetic dog, and she works her magic and gets him to eat every time. She gives him his insulin shot, and I know he’s in great hands. It’s hard for me to find people who my senior dog will warm up to, and let them give him his injection. She does an amazing job taking care of him. She gives my dogs so much love and I appreciate her communication and report cards and photos! I can’t recommend her enough!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Clayton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
