“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

I currently am not able to board pets due to my living situation, but I have worked in other peoples homes and farm yards since I was around 14 years old!
“Mike is fantastic, he communicates and sends updates with pictures every time. We have a large (85lbs) German Shepard that is reactive towards other dogs and Mike is always very careful and gives him lots of attention - our pup loves him! He also takes care of our cats and feed them 2x a day. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

“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.”

Des Peres dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
