“Jenna took such good care of our big fur babies for a night while we passed through St. Louis. Can’t say enough about the convenience and comfort knowing our doggies were happy and well taken care of! Highly recommend!”



“Erica was attentive while I rambled on about my dogs idiosyncrasies such as where they like to be pet and what game they like to play. She didn’t complain when I walked in with a large dog bed, blanket, toys, medicine, and food. Rather, she thanked me! The dogs were comfortable by the time I left and Erica sent a bunch of pictures multiple times during the weekend. She has several dogs of her own and the pictures even showed that my dogs were comfortable with hers! We are looking forward to her watching our dogs again for a longer time period but now we know that we can trust her and that our dogs like her! Thank you Erica!”


“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”


“Damica was great! She reached out with pictures and video everyday. Louie was very well taken care of. Have already booked her again! Thank you so much Damica!!”


“Mary was wonderful taking care of our Stella for 2 whole weeks while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with messages and photos and was quick to respond to our messages while we were out of the country. Thanks so much Mary! ??”


“Our two dogs were very happy staying with Sherry for boarding while we were out of town. Sherry was very communicative, sending updates and photos and letting us know right away if any small issues came up, like an upset stomach. We would definitely book with Sherry again and would recommend to others.”


“My dog can be a handful sometimes and Laura was able to tame him. It’s clear that she’s a huge pet lover because she didn’t want to leave her home for any extended amount of time due to my dog having separation anxiety. She also provided me with photos, videos, and updates on how things were going.”


“Looked like Harper had a blast with Leo and Kayla! Definitely recommend using her to watch your dog if needed! Thank you so much for taking care of my baby Harper!!”


“Thank you Reba for a great first Rover experience! It was our first time leaving leaving our puppy for the weekend and we had no doubt that he was in good hands.”


“We had an amazing first stay with Rachael. After 1 week my dog decided she is also part of the family. He was well taken care of and so happy in all the photos she sent. We will be booking with her again for sure!”


“Alison was AMAZING!!! My dog is particular when it comes to staying with people. Alison made her feel right at home. She took care of my little one as if she were her own and I loved that. Alison sent daily updates sometimes multiple times a day just to ensure that I know my little one was in good hands! Hands down excellent experience.”


“Ben was awesome with our golden retriever! He sent daily pictures and updated us on how out Gus was doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


“Madeline was an amazing sitter! She took such good care of my fur baby! She provided many updates a day and also took my dog out for walks. Would highly recommend.”


“Theron did an amazing job with our dog! Leo isn’t always the easiest around other dogs — most don’t take to him, but Mani was so great with him, and they actually got along and played together! That’s a rare win for Leo, and it really speaks to the Theron’s calm, capable energy. We also appreciated the regular photo updates — it was such a comfort to see Leo happy and in good hands. Meds were given without issue, and everything went smoothly. We’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”


“This was Chani’s second time coming to stay with Adolfo and she got suuuper excited blocks away. Adolfo is amazing with dogs and I love that my dog loves staying there. We will return again!”


“Walter and Maddie were amazing dogsitters to our pup, Sunny! They provided very frequent (adorable) updates and went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and cared for during her time with them. Sunny also seemed to really like the company of their two sweet dogs, too! I’m really grateful we found them and look forward to using them again in the future!”


“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”


“Kat was extremely kind! She sent lots of updates, communicated well, and gave our Fork attention and play. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to board their cat!”
