“Lauryn was absolutely amazing with my dogs! She came for 4 drop in visits over the course of 2 days and I couldn’t be more pleased!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend! I hope to be a return client in the future! Thanks Lauryn!!”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of our cat. I loved the daily photos and was pleased to see that Sarah was able to win over our normally standoffish kitty! It gave us great peace of mind to know all was well at home while we were away.”
“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.”
“Katie took wonderful care of our two dogs, making sure they had ample breaks during the day, sticking to their schedule and going above and beyond to make sure the pups were comfortable while we were gone. A+ all around, thank you Katie!!!”
“Kristen was amazing! She did a great job interacting with my cats and getting them fed (which can be difficult). Kristen is very kind and made sure she followed all instructions left for her. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter. Not only did she keep us updated on how the cats were while we were away, but she sent us pictures of each one at every drop in visit she made.”
About: Hello! I have had many dogs and cats over the years and love them so much! I am looking forward to meeting and playing with your pup :) I am currently in graduate school for speech pathology at Mizzou. I go on runs/walks daily and am up early! A pup fits seamlessly into my schedule! I love going on walks, playing fetch, and anything else that the fur friend may want to do! We have a fenced in backyard that backs up to a park which makes for the perfect play area!
“Repeat customer, and will continue as long as Heather is willing! She has a peaceful demeanor that pets intuitively appreciate, she's attentive and caring, and managed giving my not-always-cooperative kitty her pill every time. Great communication, above and beyond. Thank you, Heather.”
“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: With 20+ years of experience, I bring a passion for providing top-notch care to cats and dogs. I ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and adaptable to each pet’s unique needs—offering personalized attention, engaging playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I'm currently not working, only volunteer. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. We’ll enjoy walks or playtime to keep them engaged. Plenty of affection and relaxation when they need it. I aim to keep their day fun, enriching, and stress-free. I create a safe and welcoming environment for every animal I care for. I follow their established routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and ensure they’re mentally and physically stimulated. Your animal's comfort and trust are always my top priorities.
About: I have been pet sitting for the past 10 years in St. Louis, MO with a variety of dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, fish, and more! I love animals with my whole heart and would be more than happy to show them the love I know they’re deserving of! I also worked at a pet store called Treats Unleashed and a cat cafe called Whisker Station in St. Louis, MO where I was trained on behavioral pets and all types of pet supervision. I’m new to Rover but am not new at all to pet sitting! -I also offer plant watering and any other around the house tasks you may need while gone. -Back at home in St. Louis I have an american shorthair cat named Rue and two dogs; a pitbull named Spud and a black lab named Winnie. The thing i’ve missed most about moving away from home is simply being able to hang out with animals. I would love the opportunity to be able to care for you pets like I care for my own. Every animal deserves love, kindness, and lots of pets! I am a full time student at Transylvania University who is able to do check in visits or staying the night with your fur baby’s! My schedule isn’t too packed, just a few classes during the day, so your pets will get all the attention the rest of the day! I am willing to stay at the clients house to ensure comfortability for the pets. I have had four dogs, each with very different needs and differing aggression levels so I am able to handle all types of behavior. I also worked at a dog store called Treats Unleashed in St. Louis, MO where we provided grooming so I am trained on dog safety and supervision!
About: My nature is very gentle and welcoming. I have diverse experience from new born puppies & kittens to elderly dogs that need special care and attention. Taking care of pets with a big personality, that are high energy is no problem! I am good with all animals! I am a part time student and I have a lot of free time to care for others. I take walks daily with my dog, she is very social and walks very well with other dogs. Also if you’re dog needs one on one attention from me I can do that as well! The little things are what separate good work from great care. Any specific requests even the tiniest detail will be cared for and followed as requested.
“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’ve watched pets from spiders, sugar gliders, and turtles to dogs and cats! No pet, temperament, or needs are to out of reach for me! I work a few part time jobs so I am totally flexible with scheduling and making time for your pet or pets around the house I always strive to match your pet’s energy. If they need lots of play time and a walk, let’s do it! If they need to be warmed up to I’ll take my time!
“Jenni was great looking after our doodle while we took a little weekend getaway. She did everything we asked and made sure to send pics so we know how our Arya is doing.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years I have one of my own plus my moms dogs who also lives in the house. Plus I attend south tech high school for the veterinary assistant program. I have had a lot of hands on with dogs and cats. I currently work at sled and breakfast doggie day care. I work as a receptionist, my work days change but I usually work 5:45am-2pm. But I have a lot of flexibility during the day and in the evening I have a fenced in yard and two dog friendly pups to keep your fur baby entertainment also I am able to crate your dog if needed
“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”
Kirkwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy I chose Corrine to help with my fur buddies. She is super bubbly and outgoing. She communicated with me every time she stopped over to let them out and sent photos so I could see them in the yard. She asked great questions and covered everything they needed. I highly recommended her to help with your fur buddies. She took excellent care of mine. I will being using her again!
Sarah was a wonderful dog sitter for our two older large dogs. She is warm & caring. Sarah was prompt on her visits & sent great pictures of our dogs. We felt very relieved to know that they were being so well taken care of. We will definitely use her to watch them in the future!
This was my first time using Rover to have someone check on my dogs. I was a bit nervous of how it would go since my dogs get scared easily of new people, but Karen was very patient and attentive with them and overall did a fantastic job! She provided updates during each of the check ins and bonded with the dogs as the days went by. I would 100% recommend Karen as a dog sitter and if I need someone to watch my dogs again using Rover, Karen would be my first choice!
Rachelle helped take care of my 4 pets (2 cats, 2 dogs) almost daily for the past couple of months while I was at work. The pets all love her so much. She kept me updated about any abnormalities with my pets (scared of thunder, not wanting to eat, etc.) which was very helpful & kind of her to do. I will be a repeat client forever!
Anne was absolutely wonderful with our four month old puppy. He loves meeting new people, but is still very energetic (and teething). She was very patient with him and added in lots of playtime to tire him out. We will be highly recommending her to friends and family in the area!
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!
Kiffin always goes above and beyond for our girl. She will clean up any messes that our pup made while she was alone, always gives her what she needs, and had even been known to stay a few extra minutes for our girl sometimes! It’s Kiffin or no one for our household!
E was fantastic in taking care of my high maintenance pup! She was friendly, communicative, punctual, diligent, and followed the exact care instructions provided. My dog is a high flight risk and my booking was somewhat last minute, but none of that was an issue and she was professional throughout. I will definitely be booking her next time I need a drop-in or pet sitter!
Basia is awesome!! She dropped in to walk our dogs for a couple of days, plus a couple of days full time care. She sent pictures and communication during those times. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care! We will hire her again and highly recommend her!!
