About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.
About: I work well with all animals. I have trained Pomeranians, Rottweilers, and everything between usong positive reinforcement. I understand they have different needs and none are the same. I listen to your animal. I have cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon. Big dogs don't scare me. Tiny dogs don't either. Cats are to be respected and reptiles are fun. Routines are important to all animals. I work 6:30 am to 3:30 pm daily but am happy to do morning or evening check ins walks or clean ups. My dog loves evening walks. Safety is number one priority and pets will be kept on a leash and with me when outdoors. They are like toddlers and need consistent supervision.
About: I have always had dogs since I was a baby. I currently have 2 of my own, a 9 year old beagle and a 3 year old doberman who I rescued. I trained my beagle by myself and am doing the same with my doberman. I have worked among amazing dog trainers, pet care workers, and I am shift lead at a boarding facility. I take care of all types and personalities of dogs and cats, from timid and aggressive to in your pocket and loving. I am very comfortable with both. In my free time I am learning grooming, animal health, and animal behavior. I also spend a lot of time outside with my dogs or horses. I currently work at a dog hygienist facility 8-3. Off Wednesday and Sundays, this is when I do all my grooming for my dogs as well as any dogs in my care. During my break at work I may be able to stop by (distance permitting) and also let your pet out. Boarding- I have a fenced in yard where potty breaks are whenever needed when I am home. When not home dogs will be kenneled (if you want) and/or put up in my dog room where camera access is available. When working I am able to let them out during my work break around 12pm. I feed my 2 dogs twice a day (AM & PM) House sitting- Your home my environment flexes towards your pet and what it is comfortable with! I do normally work 8-3 M, T, TH, F, and Saturdays but depending on distance I might be able to let your pets out or care for them during my lunch break on those days.
About: I have been working in the animal field for 16 years. I also have experience administering medications of all types. I do try to keep to the animal's schedule as best as possible. I'm currently between jobs so I am able to keep your animals active. Once I'm employed again, I'll be able to fit your animal's needs before and after working hours. I prefer keeping your animals in their own home as it is less stressful for them. I keep as close to their schedule as I can on a daily basis.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for since 2017, and using Rover since 2022, and I absolutely love taking care of animals! From playful pups to independent kitties, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets of all kinds. As a lifelong animal lover and a pet-mom, I know how important it is to provide pets with the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I am a full time biology student at UMSL. As long as it fits to my school schedule, I am flexible for your pet(s)' needs! I take care of your pets in their own home because I have 2 kitties, I am not able to offer in my home right now. I follow your pet(s)' routine to ensure they feel familiar and at ease in their space.
“Mr. Man (my cat) was quite taken with Latasha. He enjoyed snuggling and hanging out with her, and I was very happy that at the end of our trip he was in good mental and physical health. I hired Latasha to day sit with Mr. Man as he recently got a bad cancer diagnosis, and I was afraid he might not be in good enough health for us to travel. I was especially thankful that he didn't lose weight, as anorexia is a side effect of his cancer.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8, and I’ve always loved being around animals! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m currently between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your furry friends the love, attention, and care they deserve! I can be flexible with walks, visits, and playtime to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’ll stick to their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks, while giving them plenty of attention and affection.
About: I got my first dog when I was three and have always had 5+ animals in the house. I am good with any breed of dog. I have some puppy training experience and I can also work with disability animals. I just need to know if they have medication and the time to take them or other accommodations that they might need. I’m not sure if people have reptiles that need sitting but I’m good with those too. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies or any other animals. I have always had a soft spot for animals so I love spending time with them. I have a dog who gets taken potty every couple of hours and is fed every morning and every night. I also have a cat and two leopard geckos. My cat and dog are usually upstairs so I can keep the other animals downstairs if they’re not pet friendly. My geckos stay in my room.
“Leigh was great with our recently adopted cat. She did everything we asked and was very prompt and reliable. She always told us when to expect her visits and her communication skills are outstanding! Our kitty wanted her to stay even longer on her visits.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,179 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kimmswick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
