“Max is always happy to see Kiffin and she is very easy to communicate with about what you want for your dog. Max needs to be urged along and not sniff every 2 seconds. Kiffin makes sure he gets some decent exercise!”
“Jessica has been a wonderful help to us! Our dog is very anxious around new people, and she was so patient when his nerves were showing. You can really tell she adores animals, and we feel confident our guy is safe with her. Jessica was available on short notice, met us beforehand despite a quick turnaround, and has been flexible as our needs change. Highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Alycia was great with my pup. She responded quickly every time I reached out before and after booking and sent me updates and pictures while I was gone. I knew my pup was in very good hands which allowed me to enjoy my trip. I would 100% recommend Alycia and will be using her again for my next trip.”
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.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I provide patient, reliable care and treat every pet like family, ensuring comfort, safety, and love. I work from home everyday of the week except Wednesdays so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of if your pets! On Wednesdays I am usually home before 2pm so your pet would not be left alone for long periods of time ever. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I provide a clean, calm environment, fresh water, supervision, and plenty of love so they feel secure and happy.
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”

I also love to send photo updates!
“Candace has been great to work with! She's very communicative, reliable, consistent, timely. Not to mention, she obviously cares very much about my Harvey and takes great care of him! She goes the extra mile to play with him and pet him, depending on his mood, and always cleans up if he's had an accident in the house before she arrives. Candace also takes very cute pictures of Harvey on their walks, which I always appreciate.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and almost made a career out of it. I currently have a senior dog, but raised her since she was a puppy and loved every minute of it. I’m currently off work for the summer, so me and my two kids are just hanging out and having fun! I have a lot of free time to walk your lovely dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a two story house. I love to play and cuddle and just love on dogs and cats. Whatever their vibe and energy are, I tend to match it.

They will miss their hoomans, but I promise to spoil them rotten while you're away!
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was born. But I have been dog sitting for other families for many years watching over multiple dogs and just one. I have trained my own puppy and took care of my senior family dog. I am starting to work part time while I am studying for my board exam. I will be a fun break from studying to spend time cuddling, playing, and walking a dog or a cat. I love to let dog sniff cause it’s a good time for there brain to work. I want to be able to take a break and get activity throughout my time studying I want to make sure the pet is safe and can’t get anything to hurt themselves. I never leave pets unattended with toys or treats that are a choking hazard. I want to create a clam environment for them to make them feel as happy as they can
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always helped my parents take care of them! I now have a black lab of my own :) I’m available full time for walks, drop ins, boarding, house sitting, and doggy daycare! Please reach out as I’m ready to help take care of your pets 😊 I can provide any service except dog training! We have a fenced in back yard and black lab that gets along well with other dogs. Your pet must be potty trained, vaccinated, and neutered/spayed. I do accept more than 1 dog at a time so your dog must get along well with other dogs. I typically don’t have more than 2-3 dogs at a time.
About: Hi! I’m Claire — a lifelong dog lover with 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From daily walks to overnight care, I treat every dog like family (because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated). I share my home with my 4 year-old chocolate lab, Clark, who is friendly, playful, and always excited to make new dog friends. If your pup enjoys companionship, playtime, or just having another dog around, Clark is the perfect sidekick. Giving back to animals is a huge part of my life. I regularly volunteer as a dog walker with the Humane Society and have been fostering with Stray Rescue for over 4 years, primarily caring for young puppies (6 weeks–2 years old). Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive experience with: • Potty & crate training • Basic obedience and leash manners • Puppy/dog socialization • Building confidence in shy or nervous dogs I live in a second-floor condo without a fenced yard, but that just means plenty of structured leash walks, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine — whether that includes crating, free time, training reinforcement, or extra snuggles. My schedule is can be flexible at times, though it may adjust slightly as work picks up. I do volunteer on Monday afternoons, but I’m always happy to communicate and make sure care aligns with your needs. For safety reasons due to an injury, I’m unable to walk dogs that pull hard on leash — but happy to still chat to see if I’m a good fit! If you’re looking for someone experienced, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about dogs — whether they’re a tiny puppy, an energetic adult, or a shelter favorite — I’d love to care for your pup like one of my own 🐶💛 Currently, my schedule is more flexible but that will change within the next few weeks because of work picking up. I usually dog walk for the Humane Society Monday afternoon, but I am very flexible again, and would be happy to talk about what suits your needs! I live in a condo on the second floor with my chocolate lab. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I take him out plenty on a leash to go to the bathroom and go on walks. I also have them crate trained inside and he loves his crate. I’m comfortable with whatever way you structure your dogs routine. The only thing is I can’t take care of dogs that pull hard on a leash if needed to be walked due to an injury
“Haley was great with my dog! She asked great questions to get to know her beforehand and was very knowledgeable about bigger dogs. I will definitely have her come back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Des Peres
Fiona was amazing with our dog. She was able to work on short notice, and was flexible. She showed up on time, and our dog was in great hands. She also hung out with him, and sat on the front porch with him - which was a nice touch showing that she cared deeply about animals.
Capable, reliable, and friendly to people and pets. It was easy to communicate with him and coordinate the care of my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy. It's obvious that he has experience and enjoys dogs. If he can care for my energetic, bouncing puppy then I know he will take excellent care of your older pets. I plan to keep his name on my rebook list. Thank you for helping me out.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Des Peres on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,675 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Des Peres. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Des Peres. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Des Peres.

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Des Peres. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
