“Kiffin is so sweet to my pups and has taken the time to truly get to know them and their individual needs and personalities. I know my pups are well cared for when she’s with them!”

“Danny and Jennifer have taken care of our cat many times when we go on trips, and they are always wonderful. I love all the pictures and the detailed notes they send after each visit.”

“Alycia exceeded my expectations! I'm incredibly thankful! She is a high communicator and her thorough notes make all the difference! It allows for consistent puppy training and puts this nervous dog momma’s nerves at ease. I sincerely appreciate her patience and commitment in sticking with me as I adjust to pet ownership again. Her support is making my puppy’s healthy growth and development best possible. He’s taken care of perfectly by Alycia!! So thankful. Looking forward to our continued teamwork! 💪🏽”


“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!”


“WONDERFUL cat sitter!! Two visits per day for three needy kitties; they were loved on, fed, and kept happy while we were away. Zero angry “accidents” from our co-dependent babies thanks to Rachelle’s thorough, thoughtful, and timely visits. Would recommend and absolutely hire again. Thank you so much!”
“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.”

“Thanks so much for taking such great care of the girls! I’ll definitely be reaching back out as we continue to move forward with transferring down to NC. Thanks!”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I provide patient, reliable care and treat every pet like family, ensuring comfort, safety, and love. I work from home everyday of the week except Wednesdays so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of if your pets! 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.
“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.”

“I've had Katie watch our cats twice now, our cats love her, and they always seem to be taken care of very well. I definitely recommend Katie for your pet sitting needs.”

“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!!”


About: I have been watching dogs for years, including 3 of my own. I would have 10 dogs if I could! I also enjoy being active and pets have always helped me with this I am working part time but am able to run home pretty much whenever I need to. My schedule is super flexible an I am never gone for more than four hours at a time. I have a large back yard and three other dogs that will keep your pet company! I am also happy to take them out with a leash and watch them closely myself.
“Michael was excellent! It was so nice not having to worry about my cat while I was away. She was taken care of and he communicated well. I will definitely be using Michael again!”

“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!!”

About: First thing I want to say is that my page says I only send 80% of clients photo updates, but that's not true! I send 100%. Photos and videos and updates every day! I just havent always sent them through the app. I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life. I only recently, in the past couple of years, started taking care of other people’s pups, and I really enjoy it. 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 one family at a time if the pups are compatible. Since I have no pets of my own, your pup may be the only pup I am watching. I typically have between zero and two that I am watching at any given time. Im a homebody currently working very part time and am very available for your pups. I generally only work 1 days a week from around 9am to 1:30 pm. My husband works from home, so there is almost always someone around to accompany your pup. My favorite part of the job is showering pups with love. I typically walk them 4 to 6 times a day, depending on the needs of the pup and the weather. I will be sure to check in with you and send photos. Unfortunately I am unable to take pitbulls at this time, as they are not covered by insurance. I hate that, as most pitties are sweethearts.
Kirkwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!

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!!

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.
