“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

“Laura is great! Always easy to schedule stays and she’s been flexible when my travel plans changed last minute. Always sends pictures and videos and my dog enjoys his time here. Highly recommend choosing her for your dog stays!”

“Mary was amazing with our tiny puppy! He is a handful and has a lot of energy but Mary was patient and took good care of him. Would recommend her to any dog owner!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.
“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”

“I’m just going to say a quick review as I already left a long and great review for Julia after my other booking. She was wonderful and I highly recommend her. My BoBo loved her and didn’t wanna leave. Thanks, Julia 💕💕💕”

“Madeline was absolutely AMAZING! Our two dogs stayed with her for 5 nights, and we received frequent updates and photos the entire time. I highly recommend her!”

“this was our first booking with Damica. she was so great with our dog Jax !! we will definitely have her as our sitter again !! she was great with him taking lots of pics an videos an provided lots of updates😊 we highly recommend her !!”

“Reba took excellent care of my 7 month old Collie mix, which needless to say, required a lot of energy and patience. Reba made sure my dog was well exercised and loved, and my dog came back exhausted from all of the fun which was great for me after a long weekend. She sent me lots of pictures which eased my worries of leaving my dog with someone for the first time. I will definitely have Reba watch my dog again! She loved my dog like her own.”

About: Hi! My name is Maria and I live in St. Louis with my dog, Aviva. I love animals and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal pet ownership as well as petsitting for others. I enjoy providing pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am an experienced pet and house sitter with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets and animals with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery, and providing post-operative care following surgeries and medical procedures. As a dog owner myself, I walk 3–5 miles daily and am happy to accommodate pets that require longer walks and higher activity levels. I also have experience handling large dogs and managing a variety of temperaments, including reactive pets, as my own dog is a 70-pound reactive dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a remote worker, I enjoy having a reason to get out of the house and stay active. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for drop in visits, potty breaks, feedings, and walks during the workday, while also having longer blocks of time available in the mornings before work and in the evenings after work. I walk several miles a day with my own dog, so regular walks and exercise are already an important part of my routine. I always tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and their owner's routine. Whether I am caring for pets in my client's home or providing drop in visits and walks, I prioritize keeping their schedule as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, administering medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise, enrichment, and bathroom breaks. For cats, I focus on maintaining a clean litter box and respecting each cat's comfort level and personality.
“Sophia did such a great job caring for my Franklin. He had the best weekend going for walks and playing fetch in her fenced in yard! Sophia was great with communication and so easy to work with!”

About: I grew up with a dog and helped care for various family members pets. I cared for my roommates dog in undergrad and law school. More recently I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for sister when she’s vacationing. I have love and affection for all animals. Most of experience is with older or rescue dogs but I would enjoy taking care of puppies and cats! I am currently working full-time (Mon - Fri 8am to 5pm) but will soon transition to part-time work. I work 5 minutes from my job so I can come home midday for potty breaks and walks when boarding. My weekends are completely open! My condo building has a fenced in dog park and gated parking lot with grassy areas. My unit is on the first floor with a door to the outside. No elevator or stairs required. I live in walking distance to Lafayette Square Park for longer dog walks.

“I was so pleased with Jennifer, Sharon& Scott! I had to go out of town for a week and 2 of my cats need to be given medicine. They were able to take care of that, and they sent me twice daily detailed notes and videos and pics. It made it so much easier to be away from my kitties. I will definitely use their services again!”

“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”

“If I could give Jamicia 100 stars, I would. My dog Chuck got the ultimate VIP treatment and is depressed now that he is home. 🙂 Jamicia is the only person I will leave my fur baby with. She is genuinely the very best.”

“Sarah took good care of my fur baby for the weekend and even made sure I was updated often about how she was doing and confirming that she was taking her medicine! Would book with her again.”

“Awesome experience. I love seeing all the many pictures of my pet! For Halloween, Adolfo took pictures of Charlie in a costume and posing with the scary decorations ?”
“Matt was wonderful, very responsive and very helpful while we were away! He took care of our little guy Auggie like he was his own! I couldn’t recommend Matt enough!!”

Downtown West dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first occasion for me to have someone sitting with my pets. Emma was AMAZING! She came for a meet and greet prior to the boarding dates, was in touch without throughout my time away, sent multiple photos over the two days and I returned to two happy and healthy pups. Although I do not live in this area of the country, I would not hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone. Thank you, Emma!!
Marissa was great! My Sunshine loved having another pup to play with during her long stay, and I always got updates on how she was doing (especially with things like eating, since she sometimes doesn't eat well in new environments). She got long walks, car rides, pup-cups, the total royal treatment! I would highly recommend Marissa, and I will definitely be rebooking with her again.

I have two dogs and two cats, and finding someone we truly trust with all four of them is no small feat — but she exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, keeping us updated on how each pet was doing, how they were interacting with one another, and anything they needed along the way. One of our dogs is older, and she was especially attentive to that, proactively letting us know about any health-related observations so we were never left wondering. That kind of thoughtfulness and care means everything when you’re away. She treated our pets exactly the way we would — with patience, attention, and genuine love. We came home to four happy, well-cared-for animals, and we couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend and will absolutely be booking again!

Barbara had our Oli (mini schnauzer) overnight for the first time and we are so pleased. Barbara sent us plenty of updates with pictures and videos, which we loved! And Oli looked very happy from her sleepover experience! Win win! Also, Ruby (Barbara’s rescue) is so sweet and was so good to Oli. I love that they got to interact and even slept in bed with Barbara. We would definitely love to have Barbara taking care of Oli again 🥰

Jessica has been the absolute best thing to happen to our family since relocating to St. Louis. We toured every boarding facility in the area, and I left each one feeling heartbroken. The tiny cages, constant noise, and extremely high prices were overwhelming, and there was no way I could leave our dogs there. Jessica cared for our two Australian Shepherds for nearly two weeks, and it was such a relief knowing they were safe, loved, and treated like family in her home. They also adored playing with her sweet puppy, Cooper, and all got along wonderfully. We are so grateful to have found her and could not recommend her more highly!

Everything went smooth!!!! It was truly a pleasure dealing with Jordan and he gave my wife and I the ability to enjoy our weekend away. Not having that stress truly made the whole experience so much more enjoyable for us. We already requested for our next family event coming up in September !!!! Thanks again Jordan!!!
