“Carolann is an amazing person. We have a puppy who has taken to her quickly. She is beyond patient and caring. She is one of the kindest people i have met. It has been great to have someone trustworthy to be in our home and care for our fur baby. She has made our hectic schedule manageable. Truly a blessing!”
“Callie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving Chloe with a sitter and Callie was very communicative and understanding, especially since we checked in quite a bit. Chloe was well taken care of and we would feel comfortable having Callie take care of her again! Thank you Callie!”

“We have a bit of an anxious pup so we decided he would do best staying at home, with someone coming in to stay with him. Sierra accepted the job, and did a great job of keeping us up to date on how our dog, Charlie, was doing while we were away. She sent us pics every few days with some notes on how he was adjusting to our absence. We really appreciated her communication with us. Charlie did well and we felt he was well cared for. We would definitely have Sierra back to watch Charlie again!”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting since I was a child, caring for a wide variety of breeds—from Toy Poodles to Golden Doodles. Dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities have a special place in my heart. I currently have a 10-year-old Havaton named Winnie, who’s been my loyal companion for years, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who treats your dog like family. Over the years, I’ve walked, fed, bathed, and cared for dogs with unique needs—from anxious pups to high-energy breeds and sweet seniors. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, seen, and deeply loved. Whether your dog needs extra cuddle time, play breaks, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to match their individual personality and routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine right now! I recently graduated this past May and am currently focusing on finding the right post-grad job. While I navigate this next chapter, I’m using pet sitting and dog walking to stay active, earn some extra income, and spend time doing something I genuinely love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much joy and peace. Plus, I enjoy getting outside, going for walks, and being present with animals—it’s the perfect balance while I focus on my career goals. I’m flexible, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping their routine consistent. In your home, I aim to make your pet feel secure while you’re away by sticking closely to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and preferred activities—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or quiet companionship. I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels loved and at ease in their familiar environment. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll be part of a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and cozy spots to relax. I have two cats and one dog who are all friendly and used to being around other animals, so I always make sure introductions are gradual and stress-free. No matter the setting, I show up with patience, kindness, and the goal of making your pet feel like I’m a trusted friend, not just a sitter.
About: I have never lived in a house without cats or dogs, and I have friends who taught me to care for hamsters and guinea pigs. My neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, pet, play with, and clean up after their own pets. I also accepted responsibilities to water plants, take in mail, and tidy up the house for you. I know every pet is different, so no matter how shy or friendly, anxious or excited, I'm always happy to make your pet feel loved while you're away. I'm available to help anytime between 7am and 8pm, and I'm happy to split my time throughout the day to meet your pet's needs. I just ask that my total working time doesn't exceed 8 hours daily. I make sure to take care of all your pet’s basic needs, including providing fresh food and water, walking your dog any distance they need, and giving them plenty of playtime either outside or indoors. I’m also happy to clean up after them and keep them company throughout the day so they feel safe and never lonely.

Savanna W.
“Savanna has always had a special bond with animals. From the time she was little, we could see how naturally nurturing and responsible she was—whether it was caring for her first hamster, Chewy, or lovingly tending to Peaches the guinea pig and Tiki the chameleon. Now, as an adult, she continues to show that same deep care with our family pets—Winnie (our dog), Tigger (our senior cat), and Phoebe (our youngest fluffball). She’s incredibly attentive to their needs, knows their routines inside and out, and always makes sure they feel safe, loved, and enriched. Whether she’s administering meds, brushing out Phoebe’s fur, or making sure Winnie gets her walk and cuddle time, Savanna takes pet care seriously—and does it with so much heart. Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pets like she does ours.”
Lindsey H.
“Lindsey is an incredibly diligent and responsible person, not just in pet-sitting, but in any other aspect of her life. As a student, she shows diligence and integrity in any of her work. As a friend, she shows compassion and thoughtfulness. As a person, she shows humility and respect. I would be fully comfortable with her pet sitting any pet that I have ever owed.”

Ellisville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mark was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. It was our first time leaving her so we were a little worried that she would be lonely and depressed. Not at all! She had a great time and got plenty of walks and tv time (walks and tv time are her favorites!) I appreciate that Mark was willing to take a job with short notice; and he sent lots of photo updates while we were away. Thanks!!!
Perrin is the best! Kitty and I are so grateful to have found her through Rover and for her excellent care while I was away. Kitty is 15 and very set in her ways but she ate well and had absolutely no complaints upon my return. Perrin went above and beyond in sending me updates and photos and in just taking care of everything. Thank you, Perrin!
If you are looking for that special person to love and care for your fur babies, Emma is IT! She has been wonderful. I have not worried about my sweet Blondie or my home one minute while I was away working. Rover and Emma will be in my contact list forever. Thank you Thank you Thank you Emma for allowing me to travel worry free!
Tarah is a wonderful cat sitter. She has taken care of my two boys for a week. She texts me and lets me know how they're doing. She has sent me pictures of them. We had some bad weather and she stayed with them because it was thundering. Can't say enough good things about Tarah.
