“Ava watched our senior, blind dog Bella yesterday. She did a great job! She sent us a pic of Bella with an update of how she was doing. She was attentive when we were describing Bella's routine. We recommend her highly.”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
“Lawton did a fantastic job watching our dogs. They were happy when we returned and well taken care of. She took them on numerous walks/hikes, played fetch in the yard, and gave our elderly dog extra attention. She took great care of our home as well. She sent daily updates as well Would highly recommend her and plan to use her again”
“Cynthia did a wonderful job with our dog, Bailey! She was very communicative, took lots of pictures, and left our house in perfect condition. I would certainly love to have her come back to watch Bailey again! Thank you, Cynthia!”
“Thomas was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to his time spent with Owen. It was not your standard "house sitting" since he did not have to stay overnight but provided the help needed while I was away for the day. He came to meet us first so he could learn more about Owen and the things to make their time together go smoothly. Owen had a great time with Thomas playing outside at his house and then was able to get him home safely to sleep in his own bed. I appreciate the care Thomas provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with him. I look forward to having him watch Owen next time.”
About: I work Monday through Friday, and I have evenings available every Thursday and Friday (along with every other weekend). How can I help you during this time? I own my home, and I am experienced in keeping cats separate when they’re only visiting. When possible, it would be ideal to keep your pet in your home - but they’re also welcome here!
About: I typically bring my partner, Eshap. We are both cat and dog lovers! A bit more about us below :) Emily - Cat lover! Grew up with cats and i'm currently still taking care of my babies Dusty and Cloudy (brother and sister) who are almost 18 years old. Dusty has medical issues so I'm comfortable with administering medication if need be. Ive also house and cat sat for several friends and am very familiar with the way kitties like to play, sleep, eat, and interact with humans. Have dog sat for about 8 different clients, and some friends and enjoy taking care of dogs too :) Eshap - I grew up with a total of 4 dogs over the years. I love them all dearly! One loving and loud beagle, one mutt, one sweet and chill dachshund, and one very high-energy silver lab and pitbull mix. Have dealt with puppies all the way to very senior dogs. I love cats and have lived with many over the years with roommates. I have pet sat both dogs and cats over the years, making sure they are loved, played with, fed, and walked. As for house sitting, I am clean and tidy, and am a lover of plants. I will be the one keeping your plants alive and thriving! I have around 15 of my own. Having two peoples schedules allows us to spend more time with your pets! We both work part time, so someone is typically home with them or taking the dog on an adventure :) We follow all guidelines that are given by the pet parent about security, rules of the home, pet care, and whatever else may be requested.
About: I have been taking care of dogs of any kind ever since I can remember! I have been working at a local daycare and boarding facility for two years, and have been taking care of neighbor and family dogs for my whole life, I promise to give you an above and beyond experience! ❤️ I work part time at a local daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of time on my hands! I am home from college for the summer, so I am willing to spend as much time as possible with your pet! I have a sweet elderly dog named Olive to keep your pet company! And most importantly, I have a large yard to keep your dog active and on their feet!
“Rosemary was fabulous as a sitter for our pup!! She did all the dog stuff and even helped with package delivery and plant watering!! Very sweet person and cared for the house superbly too.”
“Thank you so much Alex and Christina for always taking the best care of our dogs, sending all of your photos and updates and leaving our home in excellent clean condition! It makes our vacations very relaxing knowing the dogs are having a good time too!”
“Emma did a wonderful job house sitting our two older dogs while we were out of the country for two weeks. In addition to gathering the paper and the mail each day, she also kept the flowers watered. She also was prepared to take the older dog to the vet when he was having digestive issues, but our son was able to step in and take care of that. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since the age of 10. Neighbors, friends and family had relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their fur babies as well as house sit when needed. I have worked at No Leash Needed as well as Fox Creek Veterinary Clinic doing dog boarding and doggie daycare for several years. I have always have had a passion for being around animals and know they are more than just a pet, they are family. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday but would love to use my off time to do pet care! Depending on the week, I am off by 4:30-5:30 every day of the week. I know how scary it is to leave not just your animal, but your loved one in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure they get they care the need while also sticking to their routine whether that just be going for a walk to get their exercise or keeping them comfortable while their family is away!
About: I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, friendly dogs and aggressive dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I owned, cared for, and trained a German Shepherd. I currently own 2 Australian Shepherds, one whom I trained myself. I am very flexible this summer so I can take last minute bookings. I can do any time of day. My weekends are available also for walking, check-ins, or boarding! 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. I am able to take your dog on walks/runs or play with them inside the house. I can take them outside to the bathroom, feed them, whatever your dog needs!
“We love having Abby at our home with our baby Cody! I feel very comfortable with her. Yes I’m one of those that is is my boy and he has my heart. So yes she’s good. And Cody loves her. She treats him so well. Just like I would like her too!”
Ellisville pet parents share their Rover experiences
We highly recommend Lawton. She was great with our almost-human :) family member! We received daily updates and photos from her stay with our dog. Moreover, Lawton went beyond just keeping an eye on him and our home - she watered our vegetable garden and set up wire fencing to protect it from the neighborhood squirrels and bunnies without any of this had been specifically asked by us. Thank you, Lawton - you are hired again :)
Lindsey was great with our dog! He can be a little shy and takes some time to warm up, but she was super patient and made him feel comfortable. She kept us updated, took great care of him, and we could tell he was in good hands. We really appreciated how kind and attentive she was, and we’d definitely trust her to watch him again!
Brianna was absolutely wonderful! I have a very high energy dog who needs a lot of interaction and walks, and Brianna definitely gave him that and kept him active throughout the day. She took him on several long walks and sent me photos during and after each one. I could tell he was having the time of his life. I will definitely use her again.
Tarah did an outstanding job house and dog sitting for us while we were away. From the start, she was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was taken care of. Most importantly, Jupiter and Elbert were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned home, which says everything. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. The house was also spotless and well looked after. We truly appreciated Tarah’s kindness, responsibility, and attention to detail, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Thomas was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to his time spent with Owen. It was not your standard "house sitting" since he did not have to stay overnight but provided the help needed while I was away for the day.

I appreciate the care Thomas provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with him. I look forward to having him watch Owen next time.
Shruti was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated- it was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet!
Anna went above and beyond taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation! She asked very thorough questions ahead of our trip, which showed she cared about taking care of our dogs and our home to our satisfaction. She sent lots of pictures while we were away which was comforting, and left our home clean and organized. We were very happy with her service and comfortable having her in our home.
