“Amy was incredibly accommodating and went out of her way to put me at ease having a sitter take care of my 11 year old Australian Shepard for the first time on a recent week-long trip. She was very prompt in updating me over the course of the week with pictures of my pup during any check ins and made sure that I was 100% confident with her care before my departure. Book with confidence from one dog parent to another!”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and owner living in Maplewood, MO, with my friendly 5 yr old Aussie, Porter. While I'm newer to pet sitting on Rover, I've cared for dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience watching the pups of friends and family. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cuddles, in here to ensure your furry friend feels happy and cared for while you're away! I'm available on the weekends and work from home Mondays and Fridays, giving your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks and daily walks. I'm open to Tues-Thurs care as well, but the pup would have to be okay in a crate or out for 8 hours while I'm at work for the day. I have a fenced in yard for the pup to play, potty and get exercise in. I have a 5 year old aussie who is super friendly and would love the company of another dog! While I'll be home most of the time with your pup, when I step out of the house I'm happy to kennel them or leave them out, whatever makes you and the pup feel the most comfortable!

“Madison is a great communicator and made us very comfortable opening up our home and trusting her with the safety of our puppy. Loki loved her. Thank you!”


“Amelia did a great job checking in on my kitty while we were away- all instructions were followed and I was given a thorough update with pictures each visit.”


“Nora is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond with my puppy, who just adores her. I love that she sent pictures and a video of them playing. Melted my heart. Nora is exceptional, and any pet is in the best hands with her!”


“Katie is always a great go-to for drop-in or extended visits for our doggies! She’s so considerate in thinking about extra things like them getting wet in the rain and needing to be dried off! She’s so patient with our very energetic 9 month old puppy!”


“They did a wonderful job caring for our pets while we were on vacation. They kept us updated on their behavior and reached out when any issues came up. Would definitely hire again for future pet-sitting needs.”


“Sonja was awesome with our cat! He is very social so I was worried about leaving him for 5 days but Sonja went above and beyond, she took such good care of him and had great communication, which put my mind at ease. 100% will be using her again in the future!”


“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!”


“This is our second time working with Evie and she provided peace of mind knowing our cats were being well cared for while we were away for the weekend. She is a great communicator, detail oriented, conscientious and considerate. One of our cats had an accident outside of the litter box and she offered to launder a rug so that it wouldn’t stain. She went above and beyond and we are grateful! Thanks Evie!!!”


About: I love all animals and I am looking for a way to stay active while being in school and make some extra cash as well! I have class during the week but have a flexible schedule other than that! I would love to get on a routine and build a relationship with the pet but am able for any kind of service. I cannot take pets into my home but am willing to pet sit over night if a comfortable relationship is built with the client and pet!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I only recently, in the past year, started taking care of other people’s pups and I really enjoy it. I currently have no pets of my own. Update: I used to only take one family at a time. I will still do that for my regulars, but now I am open to taking more than on family at a time if the dogs are compatible. Im a homebody currently working very part time and am very available for your pups. I know everyone on here says how much they love dogs, but i do the most! I love having a dog around to love on, as does my son. I have a house with a decent sized yard, but unfortunately it's not fenced. I will be sure to check in with you and send photos.

“You are the best!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. We have a home with a large fenced in backyard, a safe neighborhood for walks, a cozy interior to sleep. Most of all a genuine dog lover, devoted to caring for your best friend. I’m currently available evenings and weekends. My job is flexible and am able to come home week days, mid-day to walk or play in the backyard. I have a large fenced backyard and a great neighborhood for walking. If your dog is crate training we can crate inside the home, too.

“Porter did an amazing job with our puppy. He was very accommodating and followed instructions to keep her on her schedule. I’m so grateful Porter was able to help us out!!! We will definitely have him back.”


About: I have been dogsitting for over three years now for the same 5 families and consistent pets. I am now opening up more clients and furry friends including drop ins and walks! I am very active, so you pups will get some good exercise. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend :) I am a full time student currently with open availability aside from my classes, so I am very flexible in terms of drop-ins and feeding times! I love playing with dogs, especially puppies or younger dogs. I will do everything I am asked within the home and concerning the dogs. Other than school, I am always free to spend time with the pets whenever needed!

“Suzanne was very friendly and attentive with Jeffrey. She had a great positive attitude and seemed very interested in making our senior pup happy. We will have her back!”


“They took great care of my big girl. She is sick and required medication and a little extra care which they were more than happy to provide. I plan to use them often! Cynthia in Kirkwood”


“Katie is reliable and always does a great job!”


About: While attending college, I have been the go-to dog and cat sitter in my neighborhood! This has given me 4 years of meaningful experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Now that I'm attending grad school, I am excited to continue my passion for animals through dog-walking and pet-sitting! I am responsible and patient, and will make sure your pets are safe and well-cared for. I have grown up with pets my whole life and I would love to help you give your pets their best life! As a college student, my schedule is open and flexible to help accommodate your needs! I genuinely love to care for animals and am open to start right away! I always make sure any pets in my care are safe and well-taken care of. I am open to commuting to most places in the St. Louis area. For pet-sitting, I am also open to caring for cats in my home.
