We recently hired Mason to take care of our Labrador, Jet, while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with his service. Mason was professional, caring, and went above and beyond to ensure Jet was well looked after. He provided us with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Jet clearly loved spending time with Mason, and we returned to a happy and healthy pet. We highly recommend Mason to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. He is truly a five-star caregiver!

Mike was wonderful with our four dogs. They were well cared for and happy upon our return. It is a relief to have someone that our Dowee could warm up to. We plan to utilize Mike’s services again.

Kiffin always goes above and beyond for our girl. She will clean up any messes that our pup made while she was alone, always gives her what she needs, and had even been known to stay a few extra minutes for our girl sometimes! It’s Kiffin or no one for our household!

Sarah did a great job taking care of our cat. I loved the daily photos and was pleased to see that Sarah was able to win over our normally standoffish kitty! It gave us great peace of mind to know all was well at home while we were away.

Sarah is absolutely amazing with my fur babies. After recently moving here and all the chaos of moving and home repairs I was traveling and Sarah dealt with it all like a pro. Even when the cats or the dog were feeling out of sorts, she made sure to love on them and care for them and understand how to make the situation better. Even when one of the cats was acting out and had outside-the-box behavior, Sarah handled it like the professional she is. I think my pets will miss her more than they will be excited to see me! I highly recommend Sarah. She is a phenomenal, loving caregiver for my pets.

Rachelle is super! She gave us peace of mind while we were away leaving our two cats at home for two weeks, one needing special care. Rachelle responded to our additional needs and emails very quickly, sent us pictures each day and took the time to look for and find our shy cat. I highly recommend Rachelle for your drop in visit needs.

About: I love all animals and I am looking for a way to stay active while being in school and make some extra cash as well! I have class during the week but have a flexible schedule other than that! I would love to get on a routine and build a relationship with the pet but am able for any kind of service. I cannot take pets into my home but am willing to pet sit over night if a comfortable relationship is built with the client and pet!

Natalee did an excellent job caring for our cat, Gordie 😽. She visited twice daily, provided fresh water and food, kept the litter pan clean and gave Gordie lots of attention. We highly recommend her for anyone needing a cat sitter.

About: Empathetic and caring towards pets. My first pet was a fish, named Cogi. Since then I've had a gerbil, dog (bichon frise) named Casso, and now have two cats (littermates - part maine coon - Sage & Chowder). I have enjoyed times when I volunteered with child care and senior care facilities in the past as well. Always enjoy spending time with and connecting with pets. Rarely if ever meet any pet I have difficulty connecting with. I'm currently self employed, studying for MO real estate exam & license, and often engaged in other opportunities on the side as well. However, despite my busy schedule at times, I am quite proficient at juggling tasks, maintaining physical & mental health, eating healthy, exercising when possible, and still prioritizing pet care in the midst of it all! I can bring toys, treats, food, litter or anything needed, but am not currently boarding pets at my residence. I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) feel comfortable, clean up after myself and any pet(s), and keep you informed of anything out of the normal.

About: Hello! My name is Haley and I am excited to be able to help you in your pet care experience! I am a proud owner of two cats, a puppy and a snake. I have spent my life growing up around animals and training them as well. I know what love and care is needed for your animals as I will take care of them the same I would take care of mine. I have come to learn that patience, love and fun are the best qualities to have when caring for any animals. I will be sure to take the time and dedication that is needed to ensure your animal feels safe, loved and well taken care of while you are unavailable. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask! * I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to consistently build pet care into my daily routine. * As a pet owner myself, animal care is already a major part of my everyday life. * I intentionally plan my schedule to give pets reliable attention instead of rushed drop-ins. * I prioritize: * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and enrichment * Litter box cleaning and maintenance * Medication routines if needed * Quality interaction and companionship * I understand how important consistency and routine are, especially for cats adjusting to new people or schedule changes. * I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care feels like a natural and rewarding part of my routine rather than an extra obligation. * I create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for every pet in my care. * I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications, playtime, and comfort preferences. * I respect every animal’s personality and boundaries and never force interaction before they feel comfortable. * I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. * I keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean and sanitary. * I double-check doors, gates, and safety concerns to help prevent escapes or stress. * I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while away. * In clients’ homes, I treat both the pets and the space with care, cleanliness, and respect.

Plenty of affection and relaxation when they need it. I aim to keep their day fun, enriching, and stress-free. I create a safe and welcoming environment for every animal I care for.

About: I have been pet sitting for the past 10 years in St. Louis, MO with a variety of dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, fish, and more! I love animals with my whole heart and would be more than happy to show them the love I know they’re deserving of! I also worked at a pet store called Treats Unleashed and a cat cafe called Whisker Station in St. Louis, MO where I was trained on behavioral pets and all types of pet supervision. I’m new to Rover but am not new at all to pet sitting! -I also offer plant watering and any other around the house tasks you may need while gone. -Back at home in St. Louis I have an american shorthair cat named Rue and two dogs; a pitbull named Spud and a black lab named Winnie. The thing i’ve missed most about moving away from home is simply being able to hang out with animals. I would love the opportunity to be able to care for you pets like I care for my own. Every animal deserves love, kindness, and lots of pets! I am a full time student at Transylvania University who is able to do check in visits or staying the night with your fur baby’s! My schedule isn’t too packed, just a few classes during the day, so your pets will get all the attention the rest of the day! I am willing to stay at the clients house to ensure comfortability for the pets. I have had four dogs, each with very different needs and differing aggression levels so I am able to handle all types of behavior. I also worked at a dog store called Treats Unleashed in St. Louis, MO where we provided grooming so I am trained on dog safety and supervision!
