Top rated Kirkwood house sitters

“We're grateful we found Stephen! He came to our hotel to pet sit, putting our dog immediately at ease. By the time we got back, they were best buds. Highly, 100% recommend.”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the start, Katherine was incredibly attentive—asking all the right questions and making sure every detail of our dog’s routine was followed perfectly. Our home was left spotless, and it was clear how thoughtful Katherine was in every aspect of the stay. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog and even a few sweet updates while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!”


“Sarah was fantastic! I was very at ease that I had to be away for 9 days and know that my Griz was well cared for with her staying in my home. 10/10 recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”


“Lexi was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Our dog had an expected health issue before we left and Lexi kept us up to date every day on how she was doing, calibrated to a different diet and some meds needed for the week, and even coordinated with me and the vet regarding a complication that came up from her health issue while we were gone. She clearly has a good pulse on animals and even our vet commented on how on top of things she was. Let this serve as a glowing review, highly highly recommended house/dog/cat sitter, and I hope we have the opportunity to book with her again in the future.”


“Second time we’ve used Jenni and Matt and they are just plain wonderful! Pups always well taken care of when we return and lots of pics/videos sent while we were gone. 100% would recommend booking them!”


“Trish was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She followed their routine and sent frequent updates and pictures. We loved to see that they were enjoying their time and playing. Our house was left in great condition. We would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”


“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”


About: Hi my name is Katrina, or Kat for short. I truly have a passion and heart for animals! As a teen i started pet sitting and knew I wanted to always work with animals so as an adult I went to school for dog grooming. I was a pet sylist for 15 year with my own shop but had to retire due to injuries and health. I have a lot of experience, patience and care with many types of dogs and animals. I did schooling for dog psychology and training methods and continue to further my education. I also have two dogs, a westie and a pittie rescue mix, three cats and several reptiles so i'm always surrounded by animals which I love! I do also have experience with rescue work, raising bottle fed kittens. ♡ I have studied dog behavior and believe in using positive reinforcements and redirecting. I am able to do short training sessions focused on mental stimulation. If you have topples or puzzle toys i can provide your pup with that as well. ♡ I am cpr trained and am able to give medication. ♡ I will meet your dogs needs wether it be mental stimulation with fun games, a short walk or just hanging out together. ♡ I will provide photos as well updates if requested ♡ I will refresh water bowls, do feedings, take out for potty time or scoop litter. ♡ I will respect your home, time and privacy and provide your pet(s) with the utmost care and attention. I am pretty flexible, i'm avaialble during weekdays as well as every other sunday. I will keep my times available updated on the calender here at rover. I am able to feed your animals, take them out to potty, short walks as well as spend time giving them attention and play with them.

“Deborah watched our girls NYE. She was very responsive and provided a good number of updates. Highly recommend her, we know we will definitely use her for any future sitting needs!”


About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals from dogs, cats, horses, goats, reptiles and more! My entire life has revolved around animals, from owning 2 horses and 3 cats currently and previously dogs as well. Ive got a pretty flexible schedule with having my own business currently just mostly unavailable on weekends. I am always available midday during the week I always devote my full attention to the care of the animals, giving them all the personalized care and love that they could want :)

About: I worked as a Veterinary Technician for 5 years and started college to be a Veterinarian. I love to take care of all animals and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I have knowledge to take care of any dog especially with any medical needs or grooming. I ride horses as a hobby and volunteer to care for them. I will always take care of your animals as if it were my own! I currently work from home. I am a HOA Community Manger which gives me flexibility to assist with your animals needs. I am available to house sit with your animal, drop by, playtime and grooming! I have a fenced yard and 4 animals currently. I have a Husky, German Short Haired Pointer, Long Hair Chihuahua & a cat. All of my animals are very well taken care of and loved. From cuddles all the way to cooking their food organically myself to make sure they live long healthy lives. My animals are my fur babies.

About: Pups within my care are ensured to be well cared for and happy waggers! Many people like to walk dogs as a way to pass time but for me caring for pets and making sure they get all the help and care that they need are essential to my day to day! I have several years experience in pet sitting, from day to day walks and exercise, to keeping company and helping with food and medical tasks! I am a college student who loves animals and am looking to give some pups some exceptional care! Caring for dogs is my passion and now that i have even more time to give i would like to lend a hand in pet sitting! I am available for Check-in, walking and feeding services! And although i have some time off as of current, even while in classes I am able to do on-going part time care routines! I am able to feed, walk, bathe, and play with your pup! If your pup has a set schedule I am able to work with it and ensure that your pup is safe and healthy and happy! I never like to leave a client dissatisfied with my care so each pup gets their own unique play and care schedule that changes up each day so that it doesn't feel repetitive for them! It can be stressful having to leave your pup with someone new but I always ensure that you will be updated at every moment to know how your fur-baby is doing!

About: I am currently in school to become a certified veterinary assistant at my current high school and will continue on my education after graduation to become a vet technician I am around other than 8 hours during the weekdays while I am attending school. And 3 days out of the week I work for a few hours after school. But other than that I will be there to insure your pet it well taken care of! I can follow any instructions left by owner to insure their pet is safe and happy while they are away. I encourage owners to leave instructions and details on how they prefer their pets to be cared for!

“After moving to a new town, it was important to us to find a pet sitter we can trust. After searching around town and meeting a few people, Foxy was the obvious choice. Our dog, who is generally afraid and reactive upon first meeting people and dogs, was comfortable with her immediately. She was gentle with him and had a calming/reassuring tone. We were nervous about booking, but she instilled confidence that we could go away without worry. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures and communicated their adventures every day. Where normally when we come home Prince acts like we abandoned him, this time he was just happy to see us. It was like he genuinely had an enjoyable visit with Foxy. She did what she said she would do and more. We will absolutely use her again!”


About: I’ve always been super interested in animals, so I have a lot of experience in pet care, and I am ready to be here for your pets just I am my own! I have experience in pet-sitting dogs, cats, ferrets, a gerbil, and a rabbit. I also worked at a reptile care center and took care of snakes, bearded dragons, geckos, mice, and tarantulas, so I have experience with a wide array of pets and feel prepared for the unexpected! I have two disabled dogs, and I previously had a nervous, reactive dog. I also have experience with very young puppies and pregnant dogs. I promise your pet will be in great hands with me. I am free most weekends; however, I am in college, and I do not have a car on campus, so weekdays aren’t great for me, excluding Fridays later in the day, which work with my schedule. I am aware that different pets have different needs, and I am prepared to accommodate them. This includes dogs who need scheduled medication and dogs with disabilities. I also would love to take your pets on walks; it’s something I really enjoy! Finally, I have had lots of experience dealing with a nervous, reactive dog, so I understand some dogs can get uncomfortable in overwhelming situations! Please just let me know if your pet has any quirks that I should be aware of, and I will try to be mindful of them.
