“Highly recommend Stephen! He has taken care of my cat several times now while I am traveling and I know he will be well cared for by Stephen while I am gone. The text and photo updates are nice to see.”
2. Abby M.
“Our dogs love Abby! I’m so grateful that Abby could watch our three dogs over MLK weekend. She sent us a ton of pictures and kept us updated frequently. I felt bad that one of our puppy had accidents but Abby was very kind and patient. Hope Abby will watch them again 😅 THANK YOU!”

7. Rachel H.
“Rachel had always been an animal lover. She’s had cats as pets for most of her life and has always taken excellent care of them. She currently has a Standard Poodle as a Certified Service Dog and is keenly aware of everything that goes on with him. She takes excellent care of him by observing his behavior and physical condition. She also makes sure he gets plenty of play time and exercise. She has done pet sitting for friends and they speak highly of her. She will do a great job for you!”
8. Emily B.
“Emily was great with our dog, even though he was a bit testy at first! She sent us updates and played a bunch with him while we were away. There’s a reason she has lots of good reviews on Rover and I’m so glad she was available when we needed drop ins!”
9. Brenda B.

11. Marli Z.
About: I've dog walked for all sorts of people! Taking care of my two dogs at home, a 10-year-old golden doodle, and a 2-year-old mutt, is one of the things I'm best at! They'd be happy to provide a letter of recommendation too! I am a college student but have a flexible schedule. I am free earlier in the day, before 10 am, and after classes get out around 4 pm. I enjoy walking (preferably with a dog!) after my days are over! I can follow whatever instructions are provided and respect any privacy concerns. I like wearing sandals which can make it easy to take off shoes coming into the house but I've got some heavy-duty boots too for more strenuous dog walking adventures.
12. Natalee C.
“Natalee did an excellent job caring for our cat, Gordie 😽. She visited twice daily, provided fresh water and food, kept the litter pan clean and gave Gordie lots of attention. We highly recommend her for anyone needing a cat sitter.”
13. Laura Y.
“Laura is so wonderful! My dog loves Laura! She had so much fun on her walk and drop in visit. Laura took lots of photos and shared detailed notes which I really appreciated! Thank you Laura!”
14. Minal A.
“Minal was very kind and a quick communicator. She was excellent with my cat for an extended time and took great attention to detail! I am so happy that she is on Rover, the best!”
15. Barclay N.
“Hello fellow pet owners! I am very happy to write a testimonial for Barclay on how he would be a fantastic fit for The Rover Team. Barclay worked for a St. Louis based boarding facility for pets for over eight years. During this time, Barclay was a favorite for both pets, and their owners, as he would spend quality play time during their stay. After Barclay moved on to another employment, some of these same pet owners asked him to stay at their house instead of boarding. Barclay would not only provide special bonding with the pets, but he was also meticulous about leaving the house as he first arrived, even picking up the dog duties in the yard! Barclay would take great care of each pet when taking them for walks, or general play time at the pet owner's home. Barclay has stayed at my home on several occasions, sometimes up to a week, and I was very pleased with his service. In addition, I felt relaxed knowing he was providing safe and loving care to my two dogs. Overall, Barclay would be a great addition to The Rover Team and quickly become one of the team members to be requested on a repeat basis. Thank you.”
16. Sarah J.
“Sarah is a great pet caregiver! She is very responsible and will love your pets like her own. Your dogs will love the attention she is able to provide. Even my fish is excited to see her!”
17. Nora T.
“Nora braved the nasty weather to take of my buddy tonight. Over and above! Thank you so much Nora!!”
18. Jeannine G.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for many, many years now. Family, neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their furry friends. I am currently working part time and I would have more than enough time to really care and play with your pets! I am available Monday-Thursday and some weekends. I am always home on the day listed above for enough play time and enough time to walk your pup as needed/ wanted. I also have a crate if you’d like them in a crate for a given amount of time (crate training)
19. Marisa K.
“Marisa is a very responsible person. She customer service oriented, cares and loving. I have pets of my own and she has watched our fur babies. She treated mine like they were her own. I know she would be a great candidate for this opportunity.”
20. Tyler B.
“Tyler is simply the best! He went above & beyond to help me out within a time crunch! He was thorough with his questions, noted specifics, sent pics/updates. Tyler made are pup comfortable & with ease. He also responded to my texts promptly. I cannot recommend Tyler enough & look forward to rebooking him again.”
