“Kate has been so great from the start! I asked to meet without my pups first to explain my situation because one is reactive and she was more than willing to accommodate and hear me out. I would love to use her again in the future. 😊”


About: I have been taking care of friends and family’s dogs for years and simply can’t get enough. I am a currently university. While not at college I live with Baxter my yellow lab, and three cats Binx, Goose, and Milo. I work as a Veterinary Assistant during the summers.I have first hand experience with topical, oral, and aural medication as needed. I am currently a university student. I have the most availability on weekends. I’m available daily during weekdays in the morning and in the evening. I like to start slow especially with the more shy pets. From that point I may use treats or some time for slow sniffing. Once I’ve built a trust with your pet I find it helpful for the dog to watch you pass their leash to me as a passing or trust. For walks the dogs are always leashed. I offer both short and long walks and will match the pace that best suits your pet from slow sniffing filled walks to fast paced trots. I am available for both in home visits and overnight stays, feedings, bathroom breaks, and medication administration as needed.

Let me know your preferences for caring for your pet and I will make sure your needs are met!
About: Profile Highlights 🐾 Lifelong animal lover (my first word was “dog”!) 🐾 Experienced with dogs and small animals (rats and other pocket pets) 🐾 Reliable morning, evening, and weekend availability 🐾 Comfortable with multi-pet households 🐾 Patient with shy, nervous, or senior pets Reliable dog walker and pet sitter who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. In fact, my first word was “dog”! I grew up in a household where caring for pets was part of everyday life. From a young age I was responsible for walking our dogs, feeding them, making sure they always had fresh water, and handling the less glamorous tasks like cleaning up after them. That early experience built habits of responsibility and attentiveness that I still carry into caring for animals today. I currently have two dogs and two pet rats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and care needs. Living with different types of pets has taught me how important routine, patience, and understanding are when it comes to keeping animals happy and comfortable. Every animal has their own personality and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and respected. I’m comfortable adapting to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and slow to warm up. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits that can include feeding, fresh water refills, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with basic tasks like cleaning up after pets or refreshing litter/bedding for small animals. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning visits, evening walks, and weekends, and because I live nearby I’m able to provide reliable and consistent visits. I’m naturally detail-oriented and dependable, and I always make sure pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions are followed carefully. I know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send photo updates and quick check-ins after visits. Animals are truly one of the great joys in my life. I will treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until their favorite person comes home. I currently work a flexible 9-5. I can reliably do walks in the mornings and evenings and potentially at lunch if it is nearby. I am free to spend the full weekend with your pups too! Every pet is unique! I will do my utmost to follow your care plans to the letter and treat your animal with compassion and care while keeping them safe!
About: Hello! I’m AJ and I love taking care of any animal. I have had dogs for many years and cats for about just as much time. Rest easy knowing your pet is in loving good hands :) I am available weekdays to care for your pet. I am home on weekends for boarding. Please call or text to let me know your needs My yard is fenced, the home is safe and designed for pet care. I will also provide photos for you of your pets care to keep your mind peacefully at ease
About: In my house growing up there were many different cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, gerbils, and even a tortoise. I also have experience taking care of chickens and pigs. I love pets and I have been missing mine since I moved to St. Louis in August. I work every weekday from 10-645 so I am free after that. My weekends are open. I am totally free on most Saturdays and Sundays. I will make sure that I have all the information I need before I start watching a pet. The client's contact, neighbors contacts, any additional necessary phone numbers, etc. I will make sure I know all I can about the pet before I am left with them.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 6 from my personal pets to my aunts or neighbors I’ve always cared for and adored animals I am currently a stay at home mom, so your pets can get most of my undivided attention from me and my daughter who also adores animals. I do not have a fenced yard, but i have a big back and front yard definitely enough space for any pet to enjoy! I let my daughter play out there while I watch.
About: Hi! I’m new using this platform but I’ve always had dogs in my care and now have a very active Bengal kitten at home, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understanding their different needs. I grew up in a household with dogs of all sizes (from large breeds like Rottweilers to small breeds like Yorkies) which has given me experience handling a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I’m used to high energy pets, daily play and exercise, maintaining clean spaces, and adjusting care based on each pet’s personality. I focus on patience, routine, and making sure every pet feels safe, engaged, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m currently a full-time graduate student with flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to plan visits in advance and accommodate drop-in care when needed. I’m generally available before 10:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and I can plan ahead to ensure consistent, reliable care. I am amenable to anything your doggie/cat may need to feel good and safe. Just give me specifications or contact me with any doubts about walking/sitting services.
“Quia is excellent in how she handled Snacks, a 95 lb Akita with a lot of energy. She took charge right away and calmed him down. A true professional. Thank you so much, you are the BEST! Andrea McCartney (MsAMac)”

Hillsdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Margaret walked Alfie weekly for 6 months, and she has been wonderful to work with. She is communicative, punctual, reliable, and very dependable. Alfie is always excited to see her and clearly enjoys their walks together. We really appreciate the care and consistency she brings each week.

Renee is wonderful. She is reliable, communicative, punctual, and has my dog's best interests at heart. I trust her fully to make sure that my pup is happy and safe on walks. When my dog was sick, she kept a close eye on her and kept me updated about symptoms. She's absolutely incredible and would recommend her to anyone.

Booked a series of walks from Merrell for our rescue pit mix and rescue greyhound, and they loved every day! Came home happy and ready to rest each time. Merrell was easy to work with and very communicative on the app, I will look forward to booking again any time we need a helping hand with dog walks!
