About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since age 5. My friend's neighbors and family have all trusted me to care for their animals. Including feeding, bathing, & walking. Rover is my fulltime job, I am available Monday through Friday daytime 11:00am-4:00pm & some Sundays in the areas of Ste Genevieve, Perryville, Festus, Bloomsdale,and Farmington. I am open to do day visits and dog walks. Please let me know the Sunday before for the week what you need! This leaves plenty of time for puppy loving! ❤️ I currently have a very gentle loving puppy who loves to play indoors & outdoors. So in my home your dog will have some company 😀 I do not have a fenced in yard which is a challenge so we go on walks in the neighborhood & have a nearby park we enjoy going to so no worries! We have lots of fun and exercise! We play games outside and inside.

“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”

“Great Experience. Cortnie sent updates along with pictures and videos while they watched our dog Winston. We also did a meet and greet a few days before to make sure Winston would get along with their dogs. We just did the one night but will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”

“Alex made pet sitting a great experience, she was super friendly, had a great set up for hosting furry friends, and sent cute pictures while I was away”

“Brandy was AMAZING. Winnie had never been away from us. He is part husky so he can be a talker and the first night he howled and barked, but she said all was good so we were able to leave town with the peace of mind that Winnie had found his second person 😊. She sent updates and pictures. I can’t say enough good things.”

“Wesley was very accommodating with our last minute booking since the person we had was unable to keep him. At drop off he was outside waiting to greet us and made everything really easy and Yucca felt comfortable right away. The updates and pics were really nice and made us feel comfortable being away from him knowing he was being so well taken care of and having such a good time. The pick up was super easy as well and we will definitely be using him again.”

Jessica L.

“Annie and family took excellent care of our dog Obi! She sent pictures and updates! We felt he was in great hands when we left him and we could tell he was a happy pup when came back to get him! Thank you Annie!”

“We couldn’t have been happier with Ryn as our dog sitter over the holidays! Finding someone who truly understands and can handle dogs with behavioral challenges is no easy task, but Ryn completely exceeded our expectations. Two of our dogs have big feelings—one is fear reactive, and the other struggles with anxiety—and Ryn managed their unique needs with so much patience, care, and skill. She even made real progress with one of our more challenging pups, which was such a huge milestone for us. Ryn’s extensive experience as a dog trainer really stands out. She took the time to learn about each of our dogs before their stay, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring she was prepared to meet their needs. Her setup is perfect, with a big, secure fenced yard and an environment designed for both enrichment and safety. It’s clear she puts so much thought into creating a space where dogs can thrive. One of the things we appreciated most was how Ryn included her own dogs in a way that felt safe and comfortable for everyone. She has an incredible ability to read dog behavior and ensure all interactions are positive. Whether it was playtime, downtime, or moments when our dogs just needed a little extra reassurance, Ryn handled everything with ease and professionalism. Throughout the stay, Ryn kept us updated with regular, thoughtful communication. Her updates included how our dogs were feeling emotionally, what they were eating, and even little stories about their day. The photos she sent showed just how happy and relaxed our pups were, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What truly sets Ryn apart is her genuine love for dogs and her ability to connect with them on an individual level. She doesn’t just care for dogs—she truly understands them. Her ability to build trust and confidence, even with dogs who struggle with fear and anxiety, is remarkable. We came home to happy, groomed, relaxed pups who were clearly given so much attention, playtime, and love. It’s everything you could hope for as a dog parent. Ryn went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and happy the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who is not only amazing with dogs but also truly gets them, Ryn is the absolute best. Whether your dog has special behavioral needs or just deserves the best care possible, we can’t recommend her enough for training or sitting. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Through my years of pet care, I’ve learned that every critter has their own way of needing to be cared for and loved. I enjoy focusing on outdoor exercise and exploration. It’s a fun way to wear everyone out and meet all the needs for nap time. I currently work a full time remote job, so my schedule is very flexible. Boarding is easy to fit in to my daily schedule. In-house visits can be scheduled easily throughout the day. Let me know your situation and we can see what’s possible! I live on some land that allows for wide open ranging with safe boundaries from any roadway or neighborhood. I have a friendly dog myself, Roo (m/neutered), who gets along well with anyone who likes fetch as much as him. He is off leash with me on site everyday and tends to keep everyone within the established safe zones. However you need routine to look, I’m happy to accommodate.

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

About: I have been around all types of pets for most of my life! I do have quite a bit of experience house training puppies and adult dogs Basic commands. I also have experience taking care of our pets when they get old and gray and need the extra little bit of help around the house. My availability is just about as open as it gets, my current job is only 4 to 8 days per month so 90% of the time I’m a stay at home dad! Willing to be as active or lazy as your pet wants! Though I do not have a fenced or large yard, the back of the property is right up against the practice ball field in Waterloo, so we will have plenty of space to run around and play in a safe environment.

About: I’ve had animals all my life. love my bull terriers and my cat nephews. All animals are precious and I love taking care of them. I currently work full time from 7-3pm Monday through Friday. I can care for pets after work and in some cases before work if it is needed. I currently have one dog named mages. He is crate trained and house trained. My HOA does not allow fences so dogs are taken out on a leash .

About: I have had pets in the house my whole life. My grandpa had a farm so I have been around animals since I was little. We have even had several pet pigs that were litter box trained. When I was younger, I would sneak stray cats into the house so they would have a place to stay and I always made sure to feed any stray animals that were too scared to come to anyone. I am that person that always stops if I see an animal wondering around outside, even in areas where I probably shouldn't even stop at stop signs. I have two boys, 7 and 19 months old that share my love for animals. We would be thrilled to spoil and love on your pets if you are planning a trip out of town or just need someone to stop by so your fur babies can have some play time and a bathroom break. I work full time close to Lambert Airport so I have limited availability during the week. On the weekends I am typically home amd welcome any dogs to stay with us as long as they are up to date on vaccines and currently taking flea and tick treatments. Our pups are just like family members. They have free roam throughout the house and are allowed on furniture. We have several dog beds, plenty of toys, and a fenced in backyard.

About: I take the time to get to know each dog, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I offer flexible walking hours to fit your busy lifestyle, so your dog always gets their daily stroll, even if your schedule changes. I specialize in small group walks or solo sessions to give each dog the undivided attention they deserve. I make sure every walk is fun and engaging experience, building a strong bond with your dog while they get plenty of exercise. I typically start my day with morning walks, which helps energize both me and the dogs. Depending on the dog, these walks may be more leisurely or faster paced to match their needs. If you have a busy schedule, I would fit in midday walks or potty breaks to make sure your dog stays happy and active. After a day of work or activities, evening walks can help dogs burn off any extra energy before bedtime. I would create a pet friendly area with comfortable bedding, toys, and access to fresh water. If a pet stays over for awhile, I’d make sure they have their own quiet space where they can retreat if they need rest.
