“Jessica was great! Communicated well before and during the drop in visits. She cared for my cats as if they were her own, my cats also LOVED her and felt very comfortable. I plan to rebook with Jessica in the future for any other needs! Also she took the cutest photos of my fur babies!!”
“Alycia was nothing short of amazing. She accommodated us on very short notice and did a wonderful job with my senior dog. Excellent communication and followed all instructions perfectly. She gets 5 stars only because 6 or more aren’t an option.”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter and it couldn’t have gone any better. Danny and Jennifer were wonderful! They’re very communicative and let me know exactly what was going on with my older dog and sent lots of pictures. It really set my mind at ease knowing she was being so well cared for. 10/10 would highly recommend them.”
“Claire took great care of our dog, Monte, who can be a lot to handle. We were sent pics of him playing on her visits and he looked very well cared for! She was extremely thorough on her visits making sure he was good to go before leaving.”
“Chris was wonderful to work with! We have an elderly/disabled Boxer and he was so patient and helpful with her. He was super easy to communicate with and shared updates throughout the the day! We will definitely be booking with him again ♥️🐶”
“Anne was really sweet and caring with Miss kitty. She has very friendly personality and You can tell she loves animals I totally feel comfortable with her caring for Miss kitty.”
About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I used to house/dog sit for a friend all the time but most recently I've been taking care of kitties. I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!
“Eleanor was fantastic. She reassured us with the report cars and photos. We have older cats so more concern about going on vacation. I highly recommend Eleanor as she clearly loves fur babies. Thank-you!!”
“Ryan is a breath of fresh air after having several poor pet sitter experiences. We are very thankful to have found her, as we are completely at ease during our trips out of town. She is thoughtful, prompt, and thorough. We love her and so do Bonnie and Panda!”
“Alicia was great with my shy and anxious pup. She also agreed to check in on him last minute. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pups and will be using her services again. Thanks so much!”
About: Empathetic and caring towards pets. My first pet was a fish, named Cogi. Since then I've had a gerbil, dog (bichon frise) named Casso, and now have two cats (littermates - part maine coon - Sage & Chowder). I have enjoyed times when I volunteered with child care and senior care facilities in the past as well. Always enjoy spending time with and connecting with pets. Rarely if ever meet any pet I have difficulty connecting with. I'm currently self employed, studying for MO real estate exam & license, and often engaged in other opportunities on the side as well. However, despite my busy schedule at times, I am quite proficient at juggling tasks, maintaining physical & mental health, eating healthy, exercising when possible, and still prioritizing pet care in the midst of it all! I can bring toys, treats, food, litter or anything needed, but am not currently boarding pets at my residence. I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) feel comfortable, clean up after myself and any pet(s), and keep you informed of anything out of the normal.
“Bennett was so great with our two "high energy", playful, cuddly cats! It was clear how much he genuinely enjoyed spending time with them as if they were his own. Was so happy to have found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Emily was so trustworthy and kind!! She took such great care of our two dogs on short notice, making sure to give them plenty of love, walks, playtime, and following our complicated pill and feeding routine. We have never felt so comfortable leaving town and will definitely ask for her help again in the future!”
“Rachel is great! Our two dogs are always excited to see her. We’ve had a couple meet and greets so they could get acclimated with each other. This was the first time she came to our home without us there and everything went well. We are very happy to have found this match!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and almost made a career out of it. I currently have a senior dog, but raised her since she was a puppy and loved every minute of it. I’m currently off work for the summer, so me and my two kids are just hanging out and having fun! I have a lot of free time to walk your lovely dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a two story house. I love to play and cuddle and just love on dogs and cats. Whatever their vibe and energy are, I tend to match it.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and two cherished dogs of my own, I bring extensive pet care experience to every interaction. From walks to playtime, I will prioritize your pets well-being and happiness above all else! I believe that one of the core principles to being an above average pet sitter is not only loving care, but mental stimulation through games and activities! Having cared for my own dogs into their elderly years, I’m now animal first aid certified and comfortable with all stages of life. I’m a college student with about 4 hours of free time in the middle of the day between my morning class and afternoon class. I’m available to hang out with your furry friend between my classes usually and all evenings, so long as I’m able to also get my work done! I can provide daily walks, play time and snuggles for your pet! When entrusted with the care of pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for the animals. I closely follow the instructions provided by pet parents regarding feeding schedules, exercise, and any special needs. I ensure a clean and hygienic living environment through cleaning up accidents, regular potty breaks depending on your dog’s size (smaller dogs usually need to go more frequently) and litter box cleaning. Beyond the basic care, I try to engage pets through playtime, walks and even just companionship. It’s important to maintain their mental and emotional well-being in their owner’s absence. I also regularly update and communicate with clients to reassure them that their beloved companion is in caring and capable hands.
“We were Katie’s first Rover experience and she handled drop in visits for our 3 pups perfectly! She was prompt, communicative and friendly sending great updates and went above and beyond. We’d highly recommend utilizing Katie for all your Rover needs!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkwood
Asa was wonderful. I received pictures and updates. She took time with each of my cats as they have to be kept separate. I came home to each of my cats being well taking care of, everything being tidy, and both of the kitties having attention. I am so happy with Asa’s care!
Lillian did a great job taking care of my cats. Some may think that caring for cats can't be that difficult, but I have had many problems over the years. This time I came home to no problems--everything was clean and cats were healthy and happy. And Lillian is so sweet. I felt very comfortable trusting her as soon as I met her.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkwood. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
