About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! Hello, I currently work during the day as an office manager at a local advertising agency. My schedule is hybrid - I work form home Mondays and Fridays, so I am very flexible. I currently live in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the McKinley Heights negihborhood. There is both a front and backyard in my building but I also often walk to Lafayette Square, which is nearby.
“Deyna did a great job! We have two high energy beagles. We had very specific instructions that were followed. She also provided lots of pics which is always helpful when you’re away from your dogs. Came back to happy pups!”

“literally the best sitter on this entire app. so attentive and amazing communication, i feel so safe leaving my cat with TzuYu!!! if she's available, she's the one i always choose!”

“Abby was a great help and captured some entertaining and sweet pictures of my 3 cats while I was away. One of my cats has medical needs that always leaves me anxious when I'm away. But Abby's detailed updates each visit really helped ease that anxiety. Which also allowed me to enjoy my trip more. All 3 cats were taken care of wonderfully!”

“Jessica was great! Communicated well before and during the drop in visits. She cared for my cats as if they were her own, my cats also LOVED her and felt very comfortable. I plan to rebook with Jessica in the future for any other needs! Also she took the cutest photos of my fur babies!!”

“Sheldyn was an amazing dog sitter, and we would highly recommend her! Before watching our dogs, she took the time to meet with them and really understand their personalities, routines, and the care they needed. She was incredibly flexible with their schedules and treated both of our dogs with so much care and attention. We loved receiving regular updates about how they were doing, and she was always quick to let us know if she noticed anything that might be a concern. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our dogs, which made us feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Best of all, our dogs were always excited to see her and ready to play whenever she arrived! Sheldyn is kind, dependable, animal-friendly, and someone we would absolutely trust with our dogs again. 🐾❤️”

“It’s much easier to leave my dog and cat when I know Jamie will be caring for them. His reports are always detailed and reassuring. Our pets are not easy, our dog has a lot of energy, and our cat requires twice daily medication. But for Jamie it’s no problem. When I come home I’m always greeted with calm and happy pets.”

“Uğur was such a good sitter for my 50 lb lab - he took her for long walks and refreshed the water after. Much appreciate the help and would definitely recommend. Thanks!”


About: I have less experience than others but have a willingness to learn more about what each pet needs and will do what I can help take care of your loved one(s). I work full time from 8-5pm M-F. I am free weekends to pet sit as well as early mornings or most evenings after work! I have a lot of respect for people’s personal space and am understanding of any boundaries. Safety is #1 for both you and me and I want to be sure that we both have clear expectations from the beginning.
“Stephen did an awesome job watching our dog Frankie on short notice when we were out of town for a wedding. He stopped my multiple times a day to take her on short walks, play with her, and make sure she had food and water. Would hire again. Thanks Stephen!”


“Kyani was absolutely amazing with my dogs (Laila & Bowe) She was attentive, she took tons of videos and pictures which kept me connected to my fur babies. She gave them plenty of play time and I can tell by the pictures my fur babies loved hanging out with Kyani. If I ever need a dog sitter I'll be contacting Kyani.”

“This was my first time using Rover and doing drop In visits. I would definitely recommend. Hannah was excellent with my timid little older dog that had a slipped disc. He warmed up to her quickly, was excited to see her when she came and didn’t want her to leave; she took the best care of him. She left detailed updates daily with pictures. I was away for a week and she even offered to water my plants. I will definitely use Hannah again! Thank you so much!”


“Mae is the bomb! I think my animals really like them, and I definitely appreciate their support. They have been caring for my babies for going on 3 weeks, 4 days a week and it’s a godsend for my busy schedule. They are super bubbly and sweet, keep on top of communication, and follow instructions to a T. My neighbors see them all the time and always tell me how much they like Mae and how friendly they are. Plus, they take really good pictures. Highly recommend.”

About: Have taken care of pets of all kinds since I was young! From family dogs, all medium to large size breads (labs, huskies, collies) to friends dogs (beagles). I’ll play with, feed and walk your dog!! I’ll do house sitting at your home or mine. ☺️ Also have cared for older dogs and am comfortable providing medication if needed. I currently work full-time during the week and a part time job on Wednesday and Sunday nights. But am available all other nights during the week and especially on Saturdays! I have a large apartment with a roommate and live in the Soulard neighborhood with plenty of places to safely walk and parks to go to!
About: Since I was a little girl, I’ve known my calling was to work with animals and their guardians. It has never been just a hobby or an interest. It has been a lifelong calling that continues to shape who I am. Animals give me a deep sense of purpose. I believe they have the power to restore, rehabilitate, and teach us. Through their loyalty, resilience, trust, and unconditional love, they remind us of the qualities we should strive to reflect in our own lives. That belief is the foundation of everything I do. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds and personalities, from Great Danes to Pit Bull and Husky mixes. Today, I care for my special-needs English Mastiff, Kayser, and have worked with senior dogs, rescue dogs, and animals with unique behavioral and medical needs. Every experience has reinforced the importance of patience, consistency, compassion, and understanding that every animal is an individual with its own story. My commitment to animal welfare led me back to school to pursue professional dog training. I have earned certifications in animal welfare, pet CPR, and first aid, and my training philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement, clear communication, and evidence-based practices. I believe educating guardians is just as important as training their dogs because lasting success comes from strengthening the relationship between both ends of the leash. My mission is to bridge the gap between animals and their guardians by fostering understanding, trust, and lifelong partnerships. While obedience is important, I believe true success is measured by behavioral wellness, emotional enrichment, and creating an environment where both people and their pets can thrive together. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine, so I’ve learned to build my schedule around it. I’m usually up early to handle morning feedings, walks, and check-ins. This allows me to be available from midmorning through early afternoon for appointments, training sessions, or visits. I also maintain flexibility during the evenings and weekends for clients who need additional support or have specific routines for their pets. Because animals are part of my daily life, providing exceptional care, whether for my own pets or someone else’s, comes naturally. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I’d want in my own. I stick closely to the routines the pet is familiar with, whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or playtime, because consistency helps them feel secure. I take my time to build trust with each animal using gentle handling and positive reinforcement. I also pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can recognize signs of stress or discomfort early. My goal is always to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while giving families peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands.
“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”


“Sarah is without question one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. Our senior dogs have become a bit high maintenance in their old age, and she handles everything with absolute grace. She goes above and beyond with every visit and we feel so lucky to have found her!”

Thank you so much Caitlin for taking such great care of our littles! They were so happy, healthy, and calm when we got back! Excited to see us but not desperate, such a testimate to how comfortable they were with you and how much fun they had!! So grateful for your care of not only the boys but our home too. A most sincere thank you.

Kyani is amazing! She takes care of our pups like they are her own. I can see how happy they are while we are away which always gives us peace of mind. One of our pups had some upset stomach issues this trip and she went above and beyond to ensure he was taken care of even getting him probiotics. I cannot recommend her enough and we are very lucky to have found her.

Jamie was amazing. He took excellent care of our two young cats and provided rover-card feedback and photos every day we were gone. He was even able to stop by a couple of impromptu extra times when we need help with unforeseen issues. Best petsitter ever. We will definitely seek his services again next time we have to leave the fur-babies.

As always we are so grateful for your first class care Uğur! The boys were happy and healthy upon our return. I cannot express enough the difference in how I feel when we are away now knowing that they are under your watch. Thank you so much for all the photos and videos each day its such a relief to see them so happy.

Taylor went above and beyond watching my cat. She made sure to play with her and could tell she cleaned up after since my feline requires thawed food. She remembered to do a few small tasks I mentioned only during the initial visit and was shocked by her great memory. Not to mention the cutest pictures. She even went back to check on my girl to comfort her during fireworks voluntarily! Glad I found her and will be recommending to anyone who needs a sitter.

It was our 1st time having a person to check in on our cat Maggie and it just went so well! Brooklyn took good care of her as if she were her own. She spent time playing with her and showing her kindness. Maggie soaked it up and returned the love by rolling on the floor wanting her tummy patted. We will definitely be requesting Brooklyn in our future trips away. Thank you much Brooklyn!!
