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.

“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.”

“I am so very thankful for Michael’s services! He takes excellent care of my baby feline, Puddy, when I am away. I never have to worry about my cat when I am out of town.”

“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.”

“Porter took such great care of Lola over Thanksgiving! I am so grateful that he consistently checked in and sent updates/pictures. I will definitely be asking for his help 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!”


“Rachelle was fantastic. This was my first time using a sitter for my pets and I was worried but she made me feel so comfortable every step of the way. I could tell right off that she cared for my pets. She communicated often and took lots of great photos to let me know everyone was doing great. I’ve got a needy group to look after and she took great care of them. Will definitely book with her anytime I need someone to look after them!”


“Ryan took great care of my dog while I was out of town for a week. She stopped by my house 3 times a day and walked my dog in the evenings. She sent me cute pictures which I appreciated. I was so happy that she was in good hands while I was gone.”

“Our normal sitter had a family emergency right before the holidays, and we are so thankful we found Kate in time for our kitties! Two of them need daily medications, and we have had hit or miss luck with different sitters (not from Rover) in the past, but all the cats loved her (even the one that normally hides!) and they all seem to be very relaxed and not panicked when we got home this time! We will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends in the area!”


“Bennett was so great with our two "high energy", playful, cuddly cats! It was clear how much he genuinely enjoyed spending time with them as if they were his own. Was so happy to have found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Mason is so good with our cats. They tend to be skittish around other people but they love him. He is a great communicator and your fur babies would be lucky to have him take care of them.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends most of my life, but especially in the last 6 years. I’ve become the go-to person to care for friends’ pets and feel comfortable following detailed care instructions. My aim is to provide peace of mind while you are away from your beloved pet(s). My seasonal job allows me to spend all day with my pets and I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. That means long walks, lots of playtime, and reinforcement of their training. For cats, a routine is key and I love getting to see their personalities come out as I gain their trust. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks in the neighborhood and bringing him to nearby parks for a change of scenery.
“Claire took such great care of our dog while we were gone. She was flexible, able to help on short notice and was very punctual making sure he stayed on his routine. She provided plenty of updates and sent lots of pictures so we knew he was in good hands. We will definitely be using her the future!”

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.

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!
Des Peres pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was a wonderful dog sitter for our two older large dogs. She is warm & caring. Sarah was prompt on her visits & sent great pictures of our dogs. We felt very relieved to know that they were being so well taken care of. We will definitely use her to watch them in the future!
Emily was so trustworthy and kind!! She took such great care of our two dogs on short notice, making sure to give them plenty of love, walks, playtime, and following our complicated pill and feeding routine. We have never felt so comfortable leaving town and will definitely ask for her help again in the future!

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!

E was fantastic in taking care of my high maintenance pup! She was friendly, communicative, punctual, diligent, and followed the exact care instructions provided. My dog is a high flight risk and my booking was somewhat last minute, but none of that was an issue and she was professional throughout. I will definitely be booking her next time I need a drop-in or pet sitter!
