“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”


“We are so happy Callie was available for a drop-in visit with our 7 month puppy! When we first booked our appointment, she went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of the visit went smoothly. During the visit, she engaged with our puppy and supervised him closely, which made for a safe and a fun visit. Afterwards, she provided a detailed update, and our puppy was extra sleepy for the rest of the day. Thank you so much Callie! We know Graham appreciates it too! ❤️”


“Risa answered my booking at the last minute and was so understanding and accomodating to the requests I had. She ensured my pup was taken care of to the best extent, kept me well informed, and went above and beyond. Definitely recommend her services and would for sure book her again!”


“William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.”


“Chris is fantastic with my doggie baby girls! She is responsive, flexible and goes above and beyond to make me, their mom, feel that my dogs are being well taken care of. That is a big deal! Chris respects my home and even cleans up the dog toys when she leaves. We are fortunate to have found her! THANK YOU Chris!”


“Danielle was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, and had no problems with both the instructions for her and for the house. (the last sitter didn't follow instructions, and set off the burglar alarm) She also sent several photos with each visit, and was excellent with communication. Heidi and I will definitely contact Danielle in the future!”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and owner living in Maplewood, MO, with my friendly 5 yr old Aussie, Porter. While I'm newer to pet sitting on Rover, I've cared for dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience watching the pups of friends and family. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cuddles, in here to ensure your furry friend feels happy and cared for while you're away! I'm available on the weekends and work from home Mondays and Fridays, giving your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks and daily walks. I'm open to Tues-Thurs care as well, but the pup would have to be okay in a crate or out for 8 hours while I'm at work for the day. I have a fenced in yard for the pup to play, potty and get exercise in. I have a 5 year old aussie who is super friendly and would love the company of another dog! While I'll be home most of the time with your pup, when I step out of the house I'm happy to kennel them or leave them out, whatever makes you and the pup feel the most comfortable!

“Cecille was very responsive, professional, and made time to meet our pup before watching him. She provided a detailed update with photos, and took good care of him!”


“Of the photos I saw, I think Romeo enjoyed Sophia's visits while I was away. It's hard to leave my fur baby at home when I have to travel, but I felt safe leaving him in Sophia's hands.”

“Margaret has watched my dog Steve 3 times now and Steve just loves her! It makes me feel so much better going to work knowing that she’s gonna go love on him! I highly recommend her!”


“Miranda was fantastic! Took care of our cats for a few days when a last minute trip came up and sent updates and photos each day and was super reliable. Will definitely book again!”


“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”


“Hannah took very good care of my cats. She was on time each visit and followed my instructions. Both cats were friendly with her right from the start. I hope to use Hannah’s services again.”


“Kylie was absolutely amazing! This is the second time she has come to take care of George while we were away, and once again, she went above and beyond. George adores her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about him. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, walked, and loved, but she also took the time to take out our trash and even brought packages into the house. Coming home to a happy cat and a tidy space was such a relief, and knowing George was in such capable, caring hands made our trip stress-free. Thank you, Kylie! 🐾❤️”

Clayton pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

Jessica was fantastic! She was very responsive and took excellent care of my cat while we were away. She followed all of the care instructions closely and handled my temperamental girl with patience and confidence. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her hands. Highly recommend!
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.

Mel has made it easy to feel comfortable and confident that she has my dogs needs met. She’s on time- responds to their needs, spends time even if they don’t want to walk. She is responsive and communicates during the visit. I have a nervous little girl and she has been relaxed when I return home. Will definitely use Mel for my care needs! 💯

This was Emily’s first time with our Luna. So, she was kind enough to have a meet and great to get the lay of the land. I really liked meeting Emily first. Emily came and kept me in the loop with how things were going. Our cat can be shy and may take a bit to feel comfortable. Emily gave a little info most days. Emily was also very easy to contact if needed. After coming home… we found our home to be on the same clean place as we left it. That is also important to me. We really would be happy to have Emily come back to see our cat again and again.
