“We’ve been using Ryan’s services for several weeks now and our older pup Scooter loves her so much :) She’s very understanding of his health problems and treats him with care. Ryan is the best!”
“Michael has been so great to work with. Always communicates very well, sends photos, and has helped me a lot during my busy schedule. I’d recommend him to anyone!”

“Alycia has been great with my dog. He was reluctant to walk with new people after being home with me all summer, but Alycia was very patient and worked on building his trust over their first several days walking together. Alycia is patient and reliable. She provides great updates about how my dog is doing while she is with him. We feel very happy to have found her to help us with daily walks!”

“Kiffin is great to work schedules with, very personable and dog savvy. Max comes back happy and energetic. She communicates very well by message and I hope she is equally happy with Max and is around a long time for him😊”

About: I have always had animals around me my whole life. My wife and I currently have two sweet cats and we see her families dog very often. I grew up walking my cousins dogs and am good with most any kind of animal! I am currently a full time student so I have lots of time and a flexible schedule for taking care of pets. I have two cats of my own and will be adding a puppy into the mix soon! I will treat your fur baby as if it were my own and not only take care of them while you are away but make sure to spend some good time making sure they are played with and loved.

On Wednesdays I am usually home before 2pm so your pet would not be left alone for long periods of time ever. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I provide a clean, calm environment, fresh water, supervision, and plenty of love so they feel secure and happy.
“Kat is amazing! She instantly calmed my scared and barking dog. Ellie loves to have her come and sat by the door waiting for her on the weekend. She didn’t care that we took her on a walk she wanted to see Kat!”

“We are so grateful for Christopher and Samantha’s services! We appreciate detailed updates, videos and pictures. Communication is EXCEPTIONAL. 5 star service all the way!”

“Jessica has been a wonderful help to us! Our dog is very anxious around new people, and she was so patient when his nerves were showing. You can really tell she adores animals, and we feel confident our guy is safe with her. Jessica was available on short notice, met us beforehand despite a quick turnaround, and has been flexible as our needs change. Highly recommend her!”

“Candace has been great to work with! She's very communicative, reliable, consistent, timely. Not to mention, she obviously cares very much about my Harvey and takes great care of him! She goes the extra mile to play with him and pet him, depending on his mood, and always cleans up if he's had an accident in the house before she arrives. Candace also takes very cute pictures of Harvey on their walks, which I always appreciate.”


“Pizza loves his walks with Rachelle, and I love the great communication for arrivals, schedule changes, etc. With a new baby at home, it’s nice to know my dog baby is getting the same walking time he used to.”

About: As an extreme animal lover, I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, size and temperaments for nearly two years while volunteering at the APA.

Whether it’s daily walks, feedings or simply keeping your pet company, I will be able to give your animal the love and care they need!

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. My first word was my neighbor’s dog’s name, Ashley! I have been a trusted dog, cat, lizard, and fish sitter for 10 years, and would love to continue! I have experience with elderly and young dogs, and administering medication. I recently got a full time position and am looking for something to do on the side. I am punctual, and patient. I know how it feels to love a pet with your whole heart (even if that pet wasn't mine). I have weekends free, and am free for walks around lunch and in the evening on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have never met a dog I didn’t love and I would love to meet yours! I’m currently working full time but work from home Monday and Friday. Right down the street from Tower Grove Park, where it’s sniff heaven! I love to go for walks and can fit them in the morning, evening and around noon. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I’m more than happy to go on long walks and training/sniff activities to work through some energy and add some mental stimulation!
Kirkwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Fiona was amazing with our dog. She was able to work on short notice, and was flexible. She showed up on time, and our dog was in great hands. She also hung out with him, and sat on the front porch with him - which was a nice touch showing that she cared deeply about animals.
