“Nicole and tim sent great pictures in the video. They agreed to help out very last minute. And had an adorable house and yard for josie to hang out in.”
“Reema was amazing! Her pup and mine played so well together, it was the perfect play date! She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would trust Reema to watch our girl again in a heartbeat ☺️”
“This was Cooper’s first time with Lucy and although he was nervous at first that was very short lived! I really appreciated the way Lucy worked to make him feel comfortable before I left. I could tell he was thoroughly enjoying himself in the videos she sent and when we made it back home he barely made it through the door before passing out! Would highly recommend :)”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
“Judith was amazing and communicated well throughout the entire process. We felt our dog was in great hands with her and know he was super spoiled. She went above and beyond and sent us daily photo and text updates. We will definitely be booking with Judith again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Jennifer took great care of Barry and sent me updates through the day. She even took the time to give my pup's paws a little extra post-snow care. Barry seemed like he had a great time and I enjoyed my calm, cuddly puppy after a big day of play!”
“My husband and I traveled from Indiana to St Louis for a baseball game and booked Marie for a few hours to watch our pug, Grace. Not only was Marie amazing, her kids were fantastic! All of them love dogs and were genuinely delighted to have Grace with them that day! We will absolutely book Marie next time we are in St Louis, thanks with all our hearts for making us feel welcome! If there were more stars than five I'd give them all!”
“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”
“Holly is so kind and caring! My dog loves going to her house. She watched him for me while I am at work. I really appreciate her flexibility with my schedule since it changed every week. She send photos of my dog throughout the day to keep me updated. Super happy I found her and will continue to use her to watch my dog.”
About: I help with pets often. Neighbors trust me to walk, play, and care for their animals. I enjoy playing outside and cuddling with animals. I can’t wait to meet new animals. I work from home 2 days a week and I work in the office short 5 hour days during the week with no evenings or weekends. I have a private, fenced, level yard. I have a no outlet neighborhood for nice safe walks. I enjoy playing the back yard, going for walks and snuggles too.
“Hailie was super friendly and easy to work with. I had a last minute booking and she worked with me to make it happen. My pups had a great time with her and her family and came home happy and ready to rest! We will be a return customer for sure! Thank you Hailie.”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs, my own dogs since I was 10 years old. We’ve always had a dog in our home. Up to getting my own puppies and training them. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kiddos and we’re home a lot. We love to be outdoors and playing outside. We’d have no problem letting your dog out or playing with them. I have a big fenced in yard and a very friendly pup to keep yours company! If you would like your dog caged, I can do that as well.
“Just passing through and needed to leave Tobi somewhere safe for part of the day. Francie was great, exceeded expectations. Tobi loved playing with the other dt. This was our first Rover experience, but we'll be doing it again as we continue our travels.”
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!
“Isabella was wonderful with our little Rae and we will definitely be recommending her to friends and family in the St Louis area! Our puppy felt right at home with Isa and we were so thankful to have her while we visited St Louis!”
About: I’ve been up around animals my whole life and have experience with all different types. I’m comfortable with pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m reliable when it comes to sticking to routines, whether that’s specific feeding times, multiple daily walks, or just giving your pet the attention they’re used to. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your pet like my own while you’re away. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime. I also go on several walks throughout the day for dogs that need extra exercise or energy release. I’m available for boarding in my home, as well as drop-in visits and check-ins throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run around and explore, and I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable while in my care. I’m happy to follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, or special requests to help your pet feel at home. I can care for pets at my house or make visits to your home throughout the day to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.
Kirkwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah continues to be absolutely amazing with Soup! We’ve booked with her multiple times now, and every experience has been wonderful. Soup gets so excited every time he sees Sarah and Brody again, which tells me how loved and well cared for he is there. She always keeps us updated with lots of pictures and messages, and Soup comes home happy, relaxed, and so clean every time. Sarah truly treats him like part of her family, and that means so much to us. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She is trustworthy, caring, communicative, and honestly the best sitter we’ve ever had. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their dog ❤️
Shelly was absolutely amazing. Our previous sitter bailed last minute and she answered immediately and saved our trip! She was very responsive and sent great videos of our boy having a good time! I’d recommend to anyone coming to St. Louis to consider Shelly for dog sitting.
