“Kiffin is great to work schedules with, very personable and dog savvy. Max comes back happy and energetic. She communicates very well by message and I hope she is equally happy with Max and is around a long time for him😊”
“She’s been incredible with my dog Vega. With him being a husky he can sometimes be a handful but the professionalism and communication was outstanding the entire time he was in her care. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Michael has been so great to work with. Always communicates very well, sends photos, and has helped me a lot during my busy schedule. I’d recommend him to anyone!”
“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!”
About: Hi everyone! I'm Lesley and I'm incredibly excited to work with as many pets as I can! I'm a lifelong animal lover who understands the desire that every pet parent has: to make sure your friend is safe, loved, and having fun! I'm open and flexible to all care levels and personalities, including those with extra needs. I’m very comfortable house sitting and doing daily drop ins, and have several years’ worth of experience doing so. I'll always remain respectful of your space and your pets' individual needs. I’m eager and excited to befriend your beloved pets in whatever capacity you require! My schedule is currently open and flexible, so I’m very willing to work out an individualized plan that’s the best for you and your furry friend. While I can’t board animals in my home, I’m more than willing to do daily drop ins or house sitting. My goal is always to ensure your pet’s comfort and to minimize any discomfort with your absence.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. I am comfortable with all animals, bigger, small, and comfortable with care, feeding, and medication if necessary. I just moved to the area and am very flexible and fitting in pet care for your pet with a very flexible schedule, I am open and available for all evenings, weekends and holidays and can do drop in walking with flexibility during the day and in the morning. I offer drop in care at your home and I am open to all aspects of caring for your pet and their needs above and beyond just walking
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
“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!”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat (My sweet Sassy) and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and my small breed Corgi Beagle mix Luke-y so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. I’m currently in the military but love nothing more than hanging out with my babies - and more babies we meet the greater! :) My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 14; Dogs, cats, horses, you name it! In recent years, I have pet sat (Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and even a bearded dragon!) for 5 different families with regularity, relying on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I took some time off to focus on my full-time job but now I am back to take care of your fur babies! I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, and love to learn about each pets needs, quirks, and their favorite spot to be pet! I work as an RN full time 12 hour shifts, typically overnights! If you need a quick walk or drop in visit in the early mornings, mid day, and early evening, I'm your gal! If you need a quick drop in while you are at work or running errands, I'm your gal as well! I do not mind late night drop ins or walks as well, I am pretty flexible for walks and drop ins throughout the day if I’m not working at the hospital or studying at school. I love to walk parks and hike through trails, and your dog can come along for the ride anytime!! I am always very respectful of boundaries and client's homes. I will care for your pets just as you would, providing them with as much attention and love they desire! I am always respectful of your pets boundaries as well, and will never put them in a stressful situation. I currently live in an apartment that only allows cats, and I have one kitty cat named Booker. I am a nursing student and I study quite a bit. If your pet needs a person who can chill and keep them company, I can 100% provide that! If your pet needs someone to play and run around with, I can 100% provide that as well! If your pet has medical administration needs, I have experience with this as well. One family that I pet sat regularly for had a kitty who needed insulin via injection two times a day, another had a pupper that needed two pills at morning and evening feedings. I am always punctual with medicine times and I follow instructions very closely.
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. My sweet Charlie passed in 2024 and to fill the void, I am now taking care of other people's pets. I am able to administer meds or whatever is needed. I work from home, so I am very flexible in my schedule. I can go to your house for boarding, or your pets can stay here. I love having toys around for the pups to play with. Very pet friendly environment. I do not have any other pets in my home. I only have one booking at a time. I want to make sure to give your fur babies all the love they deserve. Its only me at my home. My son is in college.
About: With 20+ years of experience, I bring a passion for providing top-notch care to cats and dogs. I ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and adaptable to each pet’s unique needs—offering personalized attention, engaging playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I'm currently not working, only volunteer. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. We’ll enjoy walks or playtime to keep them engaged. 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. I follow their established routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and ensure they’re mentally and physically stimulated. Your animal's comfort and trust are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve worked one official pet sitting job where I was in charge of walking a mastiff, and 2 labs at one time. I consistently take care of my aunts dog (black lab) and have two dogs if my own, both pugs. Primarily interested in dog walking, but am available to consider other options too I’m off Friday and Saturday, so I am hoping to make those my days I assist in dog walking. I work morning shifts, so I am available on other days, but not in the morning I have a fully fenced in yard with locks on each side to ensure my dogs never get out on accident. They are each fed twice a day and are walked once a day. They also get unlimited pets!
“Bailey had been a huge help for my parents! I reached out to her asking if she could take on a new client within 24 hrs due to elderly parents health emergency. She responded within minutes and showed up on time everyday. My parent’s dog absolutely loves her and it has been a huge blessing for my parents during recovery. And for me being out of state, puts my mind at ease that she is helping in a way I cannot. I highly recommend her”
About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I have been house/pet sitting for the last few years on my own but I'm trying to expand my client base and meet new furry friends! I also have lots of experience with cats! A large portion of my clients prefer overnight stays but I am willing to do drop ins as well. I'd love to hear from you soon. I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!
About: If I could rescue all the animals and take them home, I would! I'm all about tail wags, butt wiggles, kisses, and snuggles. LOTS of snuggles! I'm available daily for dog walks or check-ins, including holidays, and I'm happy to work with your schedule. I have experience in administering insulin and other types of medical needs that are vet-approved by you. Every pet is different, so I work with what's best for them. I make sure to keep things familiar and as stress-free as possible. Keeping to their regular routine is especially important. They will miss their hoomans, but I promise to spoil them rotten while you're away!
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Des Peres
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kiffin. She is kind, dependable, and truly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment she met Leo, it was clear that she cared for him as if he were her own. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional but also genuinely loves dogs, I highly recommend her. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our sweet boy!
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.

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.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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 walker.
