About: Hi! My name is Olivia. I’m a 25 year old Pharmacy Technician currently going to school for Psychology. I love pets of all kinds and I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and amphibians for my whole life! I love animals so much the only thing stopping me from becoming a Vet is having to put them down. I personally have two cats Mischief and Diva that get along very well with other cats. If my cats are a problem, they can easily be put away while your pets are at my home! I’m a very friendly, outgoing, and passionate person just looking for some pets to love, cuddle, and walk in my free time for some extra cash. They say if you love your job you’ll never work a day in your life! I work part-time at CVS Pharmacy located 10 minutes from my house. My hours of availability are: Monday: 5AM-7AM & 6PM-7PM Tuesday/Thursday: 5AM-7AM Wednesday/Friday: 5AM-8AM & 3PM-7PM Saturday/Sunday: All day For those requiring a boarding service, please note that I will not be available to tend to your pet **during the day outside of the specified hours above. I do have a Cat Cam for close monitoring while away. **Pets will continue to be tended to during the evening hours past 7pm. The environment contains a Cat Cam for close monitoring while away, 7ft cat tree, an automated litter box, free feeding kibble, filtered water fountain, many interactive toys, a window mounted bird feeder for some live CatTV, as well as some cat grass and lemonbalm plants to nibble on. I hope to make every experience the most enjoyable experience for both you and your furry friend(s)! My apartment features a sizable grassy courtyard for pets who like to spend some time outdoors, trips outside will always be closely monitored.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have 2 dogs. I have a lab mix and rott/sheperd mix. They are my fur babies and my daughters' besties. I love dogs so much and sometimes more than people :o) I have been a paralegal for 17 years. I am not currently employed because the dept I was in downsized. I am trying to earn income to provide for my household. I will treat your fur babies just like my own. I will make sure they are safe, properly provided for and loved on the whole time.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life, and all of them have been rescue pups with very unique personalities and backgrounds. Because of this, I'm a patient and loving pet parent. I have taken care of senior dogs, and those with health challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with incontinence issues, and I've changed lots of doggie diapers (disposable and washable). Outside of my full-time job, I work as a volunteer & social media manager for a St. Louis-based dog rescue group. I work nearby, so I can take your pet outside for potty breaks as needed. I think it's important to have playtime as well, and we've got plenty of toys for your pup to play with! I have a fenced yard, with an additional dog-friendly area (with dog grass) in case of inclement weather. Does your pup wear potty pants or a belly band? No worries, they'll be cared for - just like I care for my own.
“Rachel is a very good and very caring person who treated my dog like it was her own. I couldn’t have asked better, especially on such a short notice. Highly recommend anyone need a dog walker to use her without worrying of your pet”

About: Hi, I’m Gabbi, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I am new to Rover, but I have multiple pet sitting references that I can provide from customers that have had me hired me for years! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes from Great Pyrenees to Chihuahuas. I’ve handled hundreds of cats so I am used to every personality. I have also cared for reptiles, amphibians, fish, farm animals, and rodents. I’ve watched dogs who need vigorous exercise, as well as the opposite. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens, seniors, and every age in between. I’ve watched a litter of kittens that were still nursing. I have experience with cats and dogs affected by cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and other special needs. I am experienced in administering multiple forms of medication. I also volunteer for an animal shelter, which gives me a lot of unique situations and experiences! I have a relatively flexible schedule. I work part time at a dog grooming salon. My shifts are typically 6 hours or less, and I only work up to 4 days a week. I do sometimes have other commitments that typically take up to 4 hours at a time. For people interested in boarding, I have a fenced yard and an 11/yo, 15 lb Shih Tzu who is very friendly. He is laid back and prefers dogs who are also laid back, but has never shown aggression with high energy dogs. I typically walk the dogs I watch at least once a day, but that can vary on the age and/or the activity level of the dog. I can also take them to a park, weather permitting! I always try to keep the pups experience as stress-free as possible, so I listen closely to everything you tell me about your pet. I try to stick to any routine that you guys share, whether that be feeding times, walking times, or anything else! I live in a quiet neighborhood where your dog will be safe with me. Please note, I am typically only able to board small to medium hypoallergenic dogs, up to 30 lbs.
About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.
About: I was dog sitting without getting paid so I enjoy it, animals usually respond well to me, and I don’t mind spending my time with our furry friends I’m working part time at a grocery store and I’m off Tuesday and Thursday and needed a second job to save up, might as well a job I enjoy I’ll give them lots of pets, play with them, if your pet has a schedule for things I’ll do it on time, always being gentle with them
“Rachel great! We really appreciate her willingness to regularly walk two dogs, both of which need to learn a bit more leash etiquette. We highly recommend Rachel for your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve had animals of my own since I was little. Growing up I would often pet sit for family. More recently, I’ve rescued two cats within the past 3 years. They’re my world! I’ve recently started pet sitting for my friend on occasion and wanted to find more pet sitting opportunities because I enjoy it so much! I work from home Monday-Friday 8-5 with a lunch break from 12-1. However, I work at my own pace so I am able to leave if needed. I also work a part time job on the weekends where the hours vary. I’ll always be available after 6pm. I pay close attention to detail specific to each pet since each pet has their own set of needs. I like getting to know their personalities and earning their trust. I understand that pets are an extension of the family and I respect them as such. I also understand the worry of leaving your pets at home and the separation anxiety that pet and owner can experience, so I always offer pictures of your pets so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on much!
About: Hands on care, including feeding, walking, and administering meds, while emphasizing responsibility and attention to detail in maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I proactively plan and can adjust to your schedule to accommodate owner or dogs needs. I have an extremely friendly dog that thinks all dogs want to be his best friend. I’m flexible to any needs your fur baby might need throughout their stay!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was in middle school. I am the family member to reach out to for a favor, not many questions asked. I am currently in school and I am free every day before 2 PM and after 5 PM. I do not have any other jobs. I have a fenced yard with one indoor cat at my current residence. The house is quiet and there are no children. The neighborhood is also quiet, and there are no animals in the neighboring houses.
About: I will do everything to make sure your furry friend is not stressed and loving life while you are gone as well. I have always been a big animal lover. I know boarding are very sketch and it's hard to find someone you trust with your family member which is why I promise to give me 100% while you are away I work from home for my full time job which means I can spend all day with your pet. I work a couple hours on the weekend but other than that my flexible is 100% any instructions you give me for your dog I will follow. I only want the best for the furry family :) I know leaving your pet can be stressful which is why I make sure to send you a ton of updates/pictures while you are away if wanted!
About: I’ve always had a heart for little critters, both wild and domesticated. I love to get to know them and care for them and give them as good a life I can for whatever part I have in it. I take care of my cat every day and I care for my parents dog when they are busy or out of town. Also any friends pets who need sitting. I treat them with respect and care, I make sure they are content and comfortable as they can be and do what I can to keep them safe and happy.
About: I have loved animals my whole life and decided to become a fur mama 9 years ago. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 fish. I have no problem walking, bathing, feeding or crating your pets as I have a lot of experience with my own. I promise to love and care for your fur babies as I would my own🥰 I work from home, so I have free time to visit and play with your pups! My work schedule is flexible, so I can make myself available any day of the week. I do have a lot of experience with crate training from my own fur babies, so I can easily crate your pups if need be. I can take care of all of your pet care needs while you are away whether that be a bath or long walk.
About: I have been taking care of and loving on pets for 10+ years. I have several fur babies of my own, so I certainly understand the importance of having someone take care of your pets who will love them just as much as you do! I have experience with caring for pets for most of my life, but most recently, I have been doing drop in visits to feed and take care of family pets, as well as some pet sitting for friends who are out of town. I am also familiar with dealing with anxious dogs as both of my boys have some pretty serious storm anxiety. I do currently work full time, however, I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to drop in and take your fur babies for walks, or just check in and spend some time providing snuggles throughout the day. I am free on weekends as well for house-sitting, overnight care, etc. I believe your pets should be taken care of exactly the way they would be if you were home! Whether that means sleeping in the bed, walks 3x a day, or a strict schedule, I will always follow your established regimen to the absolute best of my ability. There is nothing more important than making sure your pet feels as comfortable in their routines and home as possible when mom and dad are away.
About: I've had pets around me since I was a baby. I had dogs growing up, and I've been around them ever since. I've been around 20 pound dogs, to 120 pound dogs, nothing is too much or too little for me. Currently I don't have a job, but I am just looking around at dog walking agin. I am supposed to go into the service in about a month, so im trying to make some extra money before I ship off! In my house, I have a fenced in yard, that keeps my pitbull safe, and happy. I would love to be in someone’s house where they have a fenced in yard, but I know that’s not ideal for everyone. If they don’t that’s perfectly fine, we just take the fur baby out in a leash to be outside then!
