“Chris and Sam were great with our dogs and professional! They were super flexible when it was too hot for the dogs to walk and had excellent communication throughout. I loved getting a video of the dogs mid-walk. We will be booking them for more dog walks and housesitting in the future!”

“Katie was so good with our a rowdy 1 yr old- I really appreciated her help with Stella! This was my first time using Rover and I am so glad I did! Stella ended up napping after her walk and play time with Katie so I could work late without a dog in my lap :) Thank you Katie!!”

“Mike is fantastic, he communicates and sends updates with pictures every time. We have a large (85lbs) German Shepard that is reactive towards other dogs and Mike is always very careful and gives him lots of attention - our pup loves him! He also takes care of our cats and feed them 2x a day. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

About: Hello! My name is Haley and I am excited to be able to help you in your pet care experience! I am a proud owner of two cats, a puppy and a snake. I have spent my life growing up around animals and training them as well. I know what love and care is needed for your animals as I will take care of them the same I would take care of mine. I have come to learn that patience, love and fun are the best qualities to have when caring for any animals. I will be sure to take the time and dedication that is needed to ensure your animal feels safe, loved and well taken care of while you are unavailable. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask! * I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to consistently build pet care into my daily routine. * As a pet owner myself, animal care is already a major part of my everyday life. * I intentionally plan my schedule to give pets reliable attention instead of rushed drop-ins. * I prioritize: * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and enrichment * Litter box cleaning and maintenance * Medication routines if needed * Quality interaction and companionship * I understand how important consistency and routine are, especially for cats adjusting to new people or schedule changes. * I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care feels like a natural and rewarding part of my routine rather than an extra obligation. * I create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for every pet in my care. * I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications, playtime, and comfort preferences. * I respect every animal’s personality and boundaries and never force interaction before they feel comfortable. * I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. * I keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean and sanitary. * I double-check doors, gates, and safety concerns to help prevent escapes or stress. * I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while away. * In clients’ homes, I treat both the pets and the space with care, cleanliness, and respect.

About: If I could rescue all the animals and take them home, I would! I'm all about tail wags, butt wiggles, kisses, and snuggles. LOTS of snuggles! I'm available daily for dog walks or check-ins, including holidays, and I'm happy to work with your schedule. I have experience in administering insulin and other types of medical needs that are vet-approved by you. Every pet is different, so I work with what's best for them. I make sure to keep things familiar and as stress-free as possible. Keeping to their regular routine is especially important. They will miss their hoomans, but I promise to spoil them rotten while you're away!

About: I grew up with dogs, and have numerous years of experience dog sitting, doing check ins and walking dogs starting from about age 12, as well as volunteering at Open Door Animal Sanctuary. My current dog is a rescue from Mexico. He is very laid back and stoic, and is an AKC certified Canine Good Citizen. However, my dog growing up was reactive, so I have experience with dogs of that temperament as well. I have recently moved back home from San Diego, CA to Webster Groves after 8 years. I am taking time off from working in public accounting to study full time for my CPA exams. As such, my schedule is extremely flexible. As an overprotective dog mom myself, I fully appreciate how difficult it can be to entrust your dog to someone other than yourself, so rest assured I will be on high alert at all times.

About: Hi there! I’m a full-time mom with a big heart for animals — and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. Whether you need help with daily walks, feedings, medication, or just some loving company for your furry friend while you're away, I provide dependable, compassionate care you can trust. I've raised both dogs and cats from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets with special needs, and I understand how important it is to have someone responsible and attentive looking after your beloved companions. ✨ Hard-working ✨ Trustworthy ✨ Flexible scheduling ✨ Experienced with medications and special care needs Let’s chat about how I can help you and your pet! As a full-time mom, my daily routine is built around care, attention, and responsibility — the same values I bring to pet care. I'm home throughout the day and evening, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet visits, feedings, medications, playtime, or just some quiet company whenever your pet needs it. My calm, structured home life allows me to give your pet consistent, loving care while still being available for early morning, mid-day, or nighttime visits. Pet care isn’t just a side job — it’s something that fits naturally into my life and brings me joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your home and pets are in trustworthy hands. I follow your specific instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or just the little habits that make your pet feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority — I double-check doors and gates, clean up after pets properly, and keep an eye out for anything unusual in your pet’s behavior or environment. I’ll gladly send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. My goal is to give your pet loving, consistent care and give you total peace of mind.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, especially Boston Terriers, so being around them has always been second nature to me. While I was in college, I lived with an Aussiedoodle, which gave me experience caring for a high-energy, intelligent breed as well. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and can guarantee they'll get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while they're in my care. My current dog has Crohn's disease and struggles with anxiety, so I'm very comfortable caring for dogs with special needs, administering extra attention, and following specific care routines. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly dog sit and house sit for family and friends. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a dog of my own, so I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets every day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to stay at your home full-time if needed and let your dog out frequently for potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I understand that every pet has a different routine, and I'm committed to following their schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. For overnight stays, I focus on keeping your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stay in your home so your pet can remain in a familiar environment, which helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take them outside for potty breaks as often as needed, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. If your pet has any medications or special care instructions, I'm happy to follow those as well. I'll also keep your home clean and respect it as if it were my own, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“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.”

About: I don’t currently have a fur baby of my own so I am looking to care for others’ furry family members. I will love, pamper and care for them as I would my own..... I am looking for long-term relationships, however I would be happy to fill in on a short-term, temporary basis as well. I have a fenced in yard and live close to many parks. If your pet needs one-on-one attention, I am willing to accommodate and only take in one family pet at a time. Your fur baby would get a lot of TLC and one-on-one attention. I have plenty of time in my life to care for and play with your furry family member. I have a fenced in yard. Live close to three nice parks-Carondelet, Jefferson Barracks, Lemay Park. Small dog park in the neighborhood. Lots of places to play nearby. I work part time outside the home. I will be gone for a maximum of five hour blocks when scheduled to work away from home. I have a fenced in yard. My home is very pet friendly. Many pet pillows and toys to choose from throughout the house. I am selective about treats I purchase for my guests. Puppers allowed to be on furniture if the owners are okay with that. I have Ring cameras to keep an eye on the fur babies when I’m away and love to share those videos with the family.

About: Just a dog mom and passionate animal lover with a dream of spoiling every fur baby in STL. I own a large, reactive senior dog that is my pride and joy so I’m well versed in reactive dogs with spicy personalities. Disclaimer: I’m a physician with unpredictable hours but I know my schedule months in advance so we’ll work together to find a good routine. I will always be transparent if I can’t provide the care needed due to time constraints. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or medical needs and cats are more than welcome to join the gang ! My schedule varies due to switching between clinic and hospital rotations every month. I’m usually available in the evenings and weekends. I know my schedule months in advance so will depend on what service you're looking for and what dates Unfortunately, my dog is not friendly with other animals so I cannot provide boarding. I can only offer house sitting if able to alternate between my home and yours

About: I’ve had a lot of past experience dog and cat sitting for family friends at a younger age, as well as taking care of my own pets! I’ve always loved animals and would do everything in my power to make sure you AND your animal have a great experience! 🩷 I am a full time culinary student so I am usually busy in the mornings! But I am only taking online classes this summer so I am free most days. I’ve had cats ever since I was a little girl! My cat Casper has been with me for almost 8 whole years and I’ve had Bigby for 6 months! I just absolutely love playing with animals and making sure they are as happy as they can possibly be. All my animals are spoiled little babies and I’ll do just the same for yours :)

This was only our first meeting with Brad. We booked him for 1 hour prior to a planned pet sitting stayover to meet us and our loving boy Jackson. To familiarize Brad with Jackson's routine, we wanted him to join us while we took Jackson on his daily walk. Brad was attentive and asked thorough questions about Jackson's care. They got along right away. We feel more comfortable having scheduled a longer initial meet. It gave us more peace of mind in knowing that the care and well being of our sweet baby and the care and regard for our home will be in good hands!

Mallory was great and most importantly, my dog thought so too! We were visiting New Orleans from out of town and a bit leary about leaving our boxer in a strange place with strange people. Mallory responded quickly to my somewhat last minute request for a 3 day dog walking booking during jazz fest. She even came for a pre-visit meet and greet. She sent us photos and updates of her visits, and offered flexibility on her times. This is my first time using Rover and Mallory made it an amazing experience. I would absolutely call her again and again and again! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 5/5 PAW Rating!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Marlborough. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
