“Christine so reliable, trustworthy and easy to work with when you need an extra hand. She loves animals, and might even sneak in some kitty pets if they are allowed.”

“Cristin was so great!! Very communicative, took pictures with every visit/provided detailed updates, and did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. Would definitely rebook with her in the future ☺️”

“Nadia has taken care of our Siberian husky puppy twice a day for the past month and a half. She is reliable and makes sure our pup gets the best care possible. I couldn't recommend her more. Thanks for everything, Nadia!”

About: I grew up in the country and have spent my whole life around animals—dogs, cats, and even horses. I currently share my home with a young Australian Retriever who keeps me active and entertained. I also recently cared for my senior dog through several years of diabetes that required twice-daily insulin, so I’m very comfortable with medication routines and supporting pets with special needs. I work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m available on weekdays and most weekends, so it’s easy for me to fit consistent, reliable care into my schedule. My priority is making pets feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow your routines closely - feeding, walks, and medications are all done exactly the way your pet is used to. I keep doors secured, double-check leashes and harnesses before every walk, and pay close attention to each pet’s body language so they never feel stressed or rushed. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of mostly dogs since I was a kid. I grew up raising dogs and showing dogs. We raised several breeds growing up. I have cared for puppies as well as adult dogs. I do teach full time, but am available after 4pm most days. My day starts at 7:10 so I could do a very early drop in or walk if needed. My weekends are very flexible and can be reliant on client needs. I am very conscientious of owner and pet needs. I will take of your pet like it is my own baby and follow care directions exactly.
About: I specialize in: oral & injected medication administration · trick training · senior pet care · separation anxiety · crate training · picky eaters · cat socialization With 15 years of experience raising and training dogs and caring for a senior cat, I know what patience, attention, and genuine love for animals looks like. My own cat is on a daily medication and weekly injection schedule, so if your pet needs medical care, you’re in the right hands! 🫶🏻 I offer three walks a day: longer morning walk (25–30 mins to truly smell the roses 🌹 ), an afternoon outing, and a short evening pit-stop. My pup is crate trained and will happily invite your dog to join our bedtime routine. 🐾 My partner works from home full-time 🧑💻🏠, so there is always someone present in the apartment, your pet is never alone. Boarding guests have their own dedicated room to decompress. We also have a balcony with a bird-watching view that Skylar visits at least 3 times a day to just relax and take it all in.
About: I have over five years of experience caring for and sitting dogs, along with hands-on experience raising my own puppy. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all ages and sizes, including high-energy pups who need plenty of playtime and structure. I’m familiar with crate routines, potty training, and reinforcing good behavior, and I always follow each dog’s unique schedule and needs. I’m also able to manage specific feeding routines, medications, and any special care instructions to ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time on weekdays, but I’m fully available for pet care after 5 PM. This allows me to provide evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care during the week. I’m also completely free on weekends, giving me plenty of time to focus on your dog with lots of attention, playtime, and consistent care. Whether you need weeknight help or full-day weekend support, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule. Your pup’s safety comes first! I live in a dog-friendly apartment with a fully fenced dog park for safe play and a quiet, friendly neighborhood perfect for long walks. I make sure every dog feels happy, secure, and loved while in my care.
About: I have grown up around all kinds of dogs including labs, golden retrievers, doodle mixes, lots of small-dog breeds, and I also have had 4 dogs myself including 2 puppies within the last 3 years! I am an extremely responsible and caring person who genuinely wants the best for your pets while you are away! When I come to take care of, walk, and play with your dog I will dedicate my time to loving on them. Providing safe and reliable care is my biggest priority while taking care of your fur baby! I am on my summer break, so aside from training for soccer I am available all for your pets! I am extremely flexible with times and my priority is keeping your pets in their routine that they know and love! I also accept last-minute bookings if needed! I use whatever leash or harness that your pet is most familiar and comfortable with, as well as keeping up with anything that they need in their life to thrive!
“Nat was wonderful!! We decided to try rover instead of boarding (which we usually do) for weekend trips, and I don't think we will look back! Nat let us know what to expect with check ins, the app/communication and everything went so smoothly. We also loved the bonus pics and notes! Next time we are headed out of town, we know who to book with 😊”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little kid. I have taken my passion for taking care of animals and got a job working at Kennelwood Boarding. There, I was able to care for the dogs and cats which included play time, cleaning, potty breaks, meals and meds, pictures, and walks. I also foster puppies over the summers so I am used to puppies as well as older dogs because I have my own senior pup at home. I am comfortable with strong pullers and dogs who tend to be more aggressive. Overall I love all animals and have spent lots of time taking care of them and I would love to do the same for yours. I am currently working a part time job 3 days a week so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I can do boarding any day of the week after 3. I care for pets in my clients home depending on their needs. On a basis I give them attention and look after them to insure safety. I also make sure they exercise and are fed or administered anything they need. I would make sure they feel loved!
“Lindsay has been a huge help with coming over and spending time with my 2 dogs while im at work. She stops by and lets them out to potty and spends some time with them multiple times a week. It makes me feel good knowing I can trust her, that she enjoys being with them and that shes very experienced in dealing with different breeds and personalities of dogs!”

About: I have a lot of experience with dog sitting and walking because of families that needed help with their canine friends while they were away for long periods of time. I have also had to give a dog shots of insulin everyday because of her diabetes so I am comfortable with medicine and needles if needed. I have also had the opportunity to walk dogs around multiple parts of St. Louis so I know the city and it’s roads very well. My availability is mostly flexible. I love dogs and want to continue to care for them. I will provide your dog with unlimited care, treat him/her as if they were my own, and love them unconditionally. I understand that dogs are a part of the family and deserve the best care.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Rachel. She went above and beyond with making sure my pup was well taken care of and pampered and gave such detailed updates on her visits. Her communication was impeccable! Rachel goes above and beyond and loves your pets as if they were her own. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Audrey was fantastic! She was able to watch our dogs on short notice, gave daily updates and took such good care of my babies, especially when looking after my dog who is spooked by fireworks on 4th of July! We appreciate her so much and fully intend to use her next time we need a sitter! Thank you, Audrey!”

“This is the third time I’ve worked with Mallory and she’s wonderful! My cat loves her and she spends time to make sure your pet is comfortable. She is communicative and flexible. Thank you so much, Mallory!”

Cottleville pet parents share their Rover experiences
McKenna was able to drop in for my puppos on a late request to save the day!! She was very quick with responses and punctual on visit. My boys were grateful for the fresh air and bathroom break as I was gone most of the day! Will continue to call on McKenna when needed! Thanks!!

Pam and Dave were absolutely outstanding pet sitters—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the start, their communication was warm, professional, and incredibly reassuring. The updates they sent were not only detailed, but genuinely delightful to read—full of personality and little touches that showed how much they truly cared. The photos they took of our cat Gus went far beyond anything we expected. They didn’t just snap a quick picture—they captured his personality, his moods, and all those little moments that made us feel like we were right there with him. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention (on his terms, of course!). Pam and Dave truly went above and beyond in every way. They treated Gus with so much care and respect, and that kind of attention is priceless when you’re away. We came home to a calm, happy cat and complete peace of mind. We would trust them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone

Ruth is hands down my favorite dog sitter ever. Even my skeptical dog warms up to her and jumps on her lap for love. She sends me pics while I am away on business trips and lets me know my dogs are safe and loved. Every time I come home I can tell they are healthy and have been well taken care of . I will always call on Ruth for my doggo needs! She is a true animal lover and will always take the best care of your pets
Dawn was amazing as a sitter for my pups! She is incredibly professional, responsive and loving with my dogs. I will definitely be using her again in the future. My dogs love her and her excellent care for my babies allowed me to really unplug from any worry about being away from them. Thanks Dawn!!
