1. Anthony Q.
“Anthony was awesome with my animals. He took them for walks, gave them plenty of treats, and lots of attention. I always worry about bringing a new sitter around my rescue German Shepard (he is not the best around strangers) but Anthony came in confident with no fear and reassurance that everything would be alright. To calm my fears Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of my boys while I was away which made me even more happy to have made the choice to go with Anthony. I will definitely be using Anthony in the future you can bet on it.”
2. Megan W.
“Megan has been awesome with my dog. She is so nice, responds quickly to messages, sends great pictures, and asks plenty of questions to ensure she provides the best care. It is such a relief and I am so thankful to have someone take such good care of my baby when I am away.”

4. Katie B.
“Katie was an incredible dog sitter. She took excellent care of our pups while we were gone and sent regular updates. Our puppies were safe and happy when we returned. We are safe grateful to have found her and will definitely rebook.”
5. Lucas K.
“Lucas took great care of our dogs while we were away. Easy to communicate with, sent lots of pics and updates, and kept our house orderly. Would highly recommend Lucas!”
6. Eva L.
“Eva is wonderful. We were out of town for 5 days and she stayed in our home and took care of our dog and 2 cats. We were a bit nervous, as our dog has issues with separation anxiety. However, Eva introduced her dog to our dog - they got along great - and had her dog here as we left, which made our departure much easier! She later took her dog home, recognizing that our cats were less happy with the addition. ? Eva was great about keeping in touch with us and sending us pictures and it made being away SO much easier. Additionally, she took great care of the house! The kitchen was spotless when we returned and she had even stripped the sheets from her bed. Bottom line is that Eva is great with animals, and very responsible. While it always feels a bit awkward to have an unknown person stay in your home, I would absolutely hire Eva again and highly recommend her!”
7. Samantha & Jesse B.
About: My husband, Jesse, and I love our dogs like family and we will love yours like family as well. We are the trusted home of many family members’ pets. We know it can be difficult to find good care for your dogs while you are away, and would love to be their home away from home. We have 2 dogs who currently experience seizures so we have some experience in special care, and know the importance of providing the extra care and attention to ensure a safe and healthy dog. We also have a wonderful fenced in backyard with plenty of room for your pet to stretch their legs and can provide a 30 min on leash neighborhood walk as well. We do crate at nighttime for the safety of the dogs. Due to work schedule, responsibilities at home (children and pets), multiple Rover requests with same times, I do have a 30-60 min window on drop in times but we will attempt to stick as closely to the requested time as possible. We do offer 15 min drop ins for a reduced price- just ask us about it! We have a large fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who can keep your puppy company. We do have small children who love pets so we would like to host dogs who do well with kiddos.
8. Lauren B.
“Lauren was great! Super friendly and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away from our boy! We will for sure be in touch for future bookings!”
9. Kaitlynn L.
“Kaitlynn is so caring and loving for animals! She is great at responding to messages and giving updates. She also has a dog that is very kind and loves to play. Your pet will be in great hands with her!”
10. Caitlin R.
“Caitlin was wonderful! She came by to meet our 5 cats the same day that she agreed to the booking and was so patient and receptive to each of our animals needs. She took time with them and gave them space to let them come to her and we were pleasantly surprised at how friendly everyone was with her and how comfortable they seemed around her. During the visit she sent pictures and went above and beyond the care instructions, washing the dishes used for their meals, replacing our tissues, and leaving the house better than when we left. She communicated throughout the entire process and made us feel safe in leaving our felines and our home in her hands.”
11. Maggie S.
“Maggie loves animals of all types from snakes to house cats. She is punctual, attentive, and trustworthy making her a great pick for your pet.”
12. Madi S.
About: I’ve been around animals growing up my whole life. One was a family dog that we had for 18 years and another was a puppy. I spent time while my mom wasn’t home taking care of and training the puppy. I would love to take your dogs to the dog park or to my grandmas to run around! I work part-time right now usually only 20 hours a week so I have a lot of free time to walk your animals! I also don’t work weekends so I’m available any time on the weekends! My grandmas house has a big fenced in yard with three other dogs there for your dog to run around or play with other dogs!

19. Liane V.
About: Hi there! My name is Liane, and I’ve spent most of my life and career caring for animals with love and expertise. I worked as a veterinary technician at a non-profit low-cost clinic for 7 years, where I cared for sick pets, assisted veterinarians during treatments and surgeries, and administered medications. Before that, I had the unique experience of working at a zoo after earning my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I’m experienced in handling pets with special requirements and ensuring their health, comfort, and happiness in both professional and casual settings. With me, your pets will receive attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. I particularly enjoy caring for pets that are exotic or require a little extra attention. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual, and active. Your pet’s happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to giving them exceptional care and companionship. If my schedule works for you, I’d be delighted to meet you and your pets to see if we’re the perfect match. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—I’d love to chat! I work full-time Monday through Friday but am available during evenings and weekends to care for your pets. The amount of time I can dedicate will depend on the distance, so proximity will play a key role in my availability. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in the environment they know best. My goal is to minimize any added stress while you’re away by maintaining their regular routine and keeping them in familiar surroundings. Sticking to their daily schedule as much as possible is a simple yet effective way we can ensure they feel safe, loved, and secure in your absence.

About: Growing up, I was a part of a program called Human Animal Bonding in Colorado, where I was taught how to connect top dogs emotionally, socially and verbally and use those skills to apply to real life situations, breaking me out of my social, insecure, neurodivergent shell. I've grown up with six big terriers, so I know my way around big, cuddly, dogs. My best friend is a German Shepherd named Ziva. I currently work part-time shifts that can go from 8-2, or 11-3, or 11-2. I am trying to start some extra hours, but outside of work, I wish to pursue my dog-loving passions and possibly turn it into a career, and I hope starting Rover will do that. I take care of big dogs, numerous cats, and six other types of animals at home, so I can't have other animals at home due to the unfamiliarity. I am looking for extra activities, ones that consists outside of work and home because that's all where I am ever at these days. I just moved to Missouri, and I hope to find show the love I have for animals to places beyond my home. I have all kinds of necessary dog accommodations. I have crates if needed, toys, extra food, leashes, etc. In my home, I have two big dogs who are trained to stay on 30 acres of property, they co-exist with barn cats and other various animals. Because of the other critters on the land, I do have to let them outside every time I leave the house. I had a dog that received special medical treatment every day and had to be watched regularly as he grew mean and tiredsome due to his deteriorating health. Fortunately, he is in a better place, but it shows that I can manage and care for dogs all of different behaviors and necessities and if I can use some of that stuff for other dogs, I've love to.
