“Ugur is the best! He takes great care of our pups and provides wonderful pics and re-caps of his drop-in visits. Would definitely recommend booking him!”
“Stephen was amazing! Easy to work with and outstanding communication about my cat while I was gone. It’s evident he is great with animals, and I appreciate him being so sweet to my pet.”
“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”
“Danielle is truly the best! This is our first time using Rover so not only did she take great care of our Great Dane while we were away, she also eased our worries and concerns and educated us about the app and its services! We will definitely use it again! Every day she sent great updates along with a ton of photos and even threw in a walk which we greatly appreciated. My husband and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.”
About: I am known as the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends and family! I have worked with everything from tiny 4 week old puppies to senior pets who need assistance walking and require multiple medications. I am comfortable with giant dogs and I have experience with fearful/aggressive animals. I’m an avid hiker and love to stay active, usually with my dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a very flexible schedule so I am available to walk or care for your pet at your convenience! I have a reliable car and don’t mind driving! I have a yard with a secure, 6 foot privacy fence and live in a very walkable neighborhood with three parks near my home. If your pet is more comfortable staying home I am available to take care of them there! I’m a fast learner and I’m eager to learn your pet’s routine!
“Rachael is absolutely fantastic. My dog tore my blinds to bits while I was gone and she handled it like a champ, cleaned up the mess, and even offered a little expertise on ordering new ones lol! Very responsive and Nate loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Greeshma took great care of our baby ? She was super communicative and sent daily updates / photos of the fun they were having. It’s evident that she is an animal lover, and she cared for our cat like he was her own. We will definitely use her for future trips!!”
About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!
“Jamie is an excellent cat sitter. He is dedicated and absolutely trustworthy. He has taken good care of my kitty, Felicia, numerous times. He always makes sure that she has everything that she needs. He is patient with her little quirks and moodiness whenever I am away. He always sends detailed updates and pictures to let me know how she is doing after each visit. I strongly recommend Jamie as a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Laura was excellent when it came to our two cats! She was there to feed and play with them, while also providing copious amounts of pictures of them looking happy and healthy! Definitely hire her if you need a pet sitter!”
“She was communicative and went above and beyond for my two kitties :) she was the first person I hired on here, so I’m really happy that my first experience went so well! What a relief that there are hard working people who also care about pets in STL!”
“If there’d been a 10-star rating option for this sitter, I’d have selected it expeditiously! While I was away on a 10 day vacation halfway across the world, Michelle went beyond Rover expectations—she exceeded in every category, from feeding to cuddling to playing. She even cleaned and tidied up an unexpected accident my cat had left during her last visit. I’m super impressed and happily pleased with Michelle’s service. Would I ever rebook with her?. . .Is the sky blue? Yes 👏🏾 Yes 👏🏾 YES 🙌🏾”
“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!”
About: I've been watching dogs for close to 20 years for both friends and family. I care for small to medium dogs but have no issues with larger dogs. I grew up with a golden and am most comfortable with that size or smaller. I'm very patient, offering personalized playtime, cuddles, and walks, ensuring their needs are met with attention and care! Please feel free to contact me at any time! I usually get off work at 11AM so I'm available all throughout the week. On weekends I'm usually available from 1pm to 5:00pm to care of your dogs but can also make exceptions In my home, pets enjoy comfort, playtime, and attention. At yours, I maintain routines, provide walks, and ensure your pet feels secure and at ease.
About: Love dogs, very flexible schedule, I’m a professional by day, and enjoy working with animals and helping people in my spare time. I have no set agenda and am not doing this for the money. I’m doing it because I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I live and work in downtown STL. My calendar is very open and I don’t see it filling up any time soon. I hope you find this biography interesting because it requires me to type 125 words and I am struggling with what else I should put. My dog Pierre is very low key. He is pretty happy just hanging out as long as he has a human to cuddle with. We like to do long walks, go to dog friendly places, and parks. We like to hangout with lots of options for exercise. I find dog behavior is based on their ability to release their energy in a positive way.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I was previously employed as a veterinary technician when I lived in Florida. I do have a part time job with a flexible schedule, but will have the availability before, after, or on my breaks during my shifts to take care of your babies. I have a dog of my own who has severe anxiety so I will be willing to do whatever necessary to aid with that. I do not mind walking your babies in this cold winter weather.

Ryan A.
“Ryan from a very young age has been a natural animal lover. As a youth, he loved to read and learn about different animal breeds and how best to care for them. Once old enough to care of animals, he then raised several different pets. Ryan’s true passion however, is for dogs. He looks after and is very considerate of all animals and their needs.”
Ciarra G.
“I can't say enough great things about Ciarra! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in caring and capable hands. Ciarra was incredibly attentive to Fluffy’s needs, kept me updated with daily photos and messages, and followed all care instructions perfectly. It was clear my pup felt safe and happy, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking again—thank you for treating my dog like your own!”
