“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😊”
“Chris did a fine job with Marlo today. She barked at him when he came in, but wasn't particularly fazed by that, and after giving her a handful of treats they became fast friends. Clearly these guys know their doggies!”
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’ve had cats my whole life and love everything about them! I’ve cared for kittens, adults, seniors, and multiple pet households. I have experience with post-op care, cat introductions, and indoor/outdoor cats. I also have experience taking care of young and senior dogs, including administering medication and interacting with cats. Housesitting - I can’t be there 24 hours a day because I have my own pets, but we can discuss how much I need to be away. I work full time from home, mostly available evenings and weekends, daytime if my schedule allows. I’m a night owl so late night visits are okay! I go at your pet’s pace and provide a safe, loving environment so they gain my trust. I go by their usual routine/ habits as not disrupt their routine.
“This is the second time I’ve hired Amber for dog walking and just like the previous time, she did a great job, She’s very skilled with my senior dog and her visits are usually the highlight of my dog’s day. She’s reliable and efficient, with great communication through the Rover app. I highly recommend Amber!”
“Lacy and Piper are always so excited to see Greg and Jane for walks. They are always on time and walk the dogs on the route I requested and give them lots of pets. I will definitely request Greg and Jane when I need dog sitting or the dogs walked.”
About: My first and foremost goal is to care for you pet the way I would want someone to care for mine. I’ve lived with many animals over the years and I’m never happier than I am with pets. I am currently a college student with classes in the mornings and afternoons, however I have vast availability through the day and I am free anytime after 11 except on mondays. Your pets happiness is my first priority, I offer in home visits to give them some necessary love and attention as well as dog walking services to help get their energy out.
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
“Gabby is a wonderful human being. She has been so so great and attentive with our dog BMO. She’s even been proactive and changed the batteries to our door lock when it wasn’t working so she’d be able to get to BMO later in the day. We’ve really appreciated her help and flexibility with our ever changing work schedules. BMO doesn’t warm up easily to people and is very shy, and she is excited to see Gabby every time. Gabby is the best!”
About: I received my first puppy at 14, trained 4 dogs- all from different breeds and sizes. I say 20 years experience because I have always had a love for dogs and enjoy them at every age. I have walked, fed, bathed, house-sat, and loved & cuddled on those fur-babies! Friends, family members, co-workers, friends of family, you name it, I’ve cared for their animals. I have worked with fish, geckos, small rodents, cats and dogs. Administered medication as needed. And given as much love as they let me! I am late to bed and early to rise which is helpful for tricky schedules. I walk my dog several times a day and we play as much as her little legs can handle, so I definitely have to energy to spend. I do not have any scheduled trip for this summer or so far for fall. My schedule currently involves playing favorite Aunt on occasion to pick up and drop off kiddos. Otherwise you can find me doing a puzzle or working on a project at home. I currently only have one dog, a chihuahua- Queen of my fenced in yard. She has a feeding schedule of twice a day. We use specific words- “cookie” for instance instead of treat. That would be something to learn as all families are different with terminologies. Multiple walks a day or just playtime if we’re not feeling like stretching the little legs. My dog has care at my home if I would be caring for pets at their homes. We enjoy cooking dinner every night (she watches me cook) and snuggles with a good episode on HGTV in bed.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and grew up loving many pets of my own. Ive pet-sat since I was 10, and have experience with all kinds. I also trained my puppy since he was 3 months. I have a huge heart for animals and will treat all with love! Im currently working part time so I will have plenty of free time time for your pups! I’m very active so I can keep up with dogs who love long walks! I have a fenced in yard with a very loving chocolate lab puppy who loves to meet friends! I also have lots of experience walking dogs and leash training.
“Sam is amazing! She did a great job taking care of my dogs and let herself available even I needed a sitter last minute. Appreciate her a lot and the love she gave to Olaf and Kirby! Will definitely recommend her to other furparents.”
About: My son and I are huge animal lovers. If there’s a dog out and about, we wanna say hi and love on them! We have one sweet girl of our own who is an absolute princess. She loves other dogs and gets along well with most dogs. We do live in an apartment but have a dog park just around the corner from our building, go for walks regularly and we are on the ground floor. I work four days a week, but the most an animal is left alone is about six hours. Let us love on your fur babies, while you’re away! I won’t be able to take any unfixed animals due to past aggressive behaviors. I work four days a week during the week from 8:30 to 6 in my son is home by 3 PM and always lets the dog out. I am home every weekend I would always ensure your dog is loved and cared for as our own is. Whatever you need to feel comfortable leaving your fur child.
“Wendy took great care of our 12 year old dog while we were gone for a week. She visited our house every day and sent pictures. She was very fast to respond to messages and was easy to work with. I would recommend Wendy. Thank you!”
About: I have been caring for dogs most of my life and I’d like to bring that joy to my family too. I only take 1 extra dog at a time (or two if they are pet siblings). I work from home so your furry friend will hang out with me and Molly (our dog) most of the day. They will get to go play in our fenced back yard at will. I take walks during the day too to get some fresh air and the dogs can have some new smells. ***Crate trained dogs only. This is for when I’m away, but I’m home most of the day. *** I work from home and my dog hangs out with me all day - and so can yours! We’d love to have another friend to play with. We have a fenced yard and we like to take walks in the neighborhood. We have many walking paths and parks nearby to explore with our new furry friends.

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.
Absolutely outstanding - 11 out of 10! Hired Michael at very last minute notice late in the evening after my other dog walker turned out to be a complete flake! Michael has been precisely ontime, very professional and polite, and apleasure to deal with... and my pups are eager for his arrival and return very happy! Will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Des Peres is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $21 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Des Peres after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
