“Tammy has been doing daily weekday walks with my dog about about two months now and does a fantastic job. She treats my dog with love and care and is very reliable. In rare cases when a scheduling conflict came up, she let me know well in advance so I could plan for it. I couldn’t ask for a better person to walk my dog.”

“Nicki was great! Punctual and super helpful. Helped ensure our wedding reception went off without a hitch!”

About: If you're looking for someone to watch your pets while you're away, then look no further. I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them

“Nancy is incredible! She provides so much more than just an opportunity for your dog to get some exercise. Her experience and communication on how to work with some tendencies of Stella’s were great and look forward to implementing her suggestions. Highly recommend.”

“Ugur is fantastic! He is responsive, communicates well and sends lots of photos of my furbaby. I'm happy to have found him to keep Mochi company on long days.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life! Dogs of all ages, guinea pigs, fish, and more. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and fun! It is especially fulfilling to care for your pets while being away from mine while at school. With no evening classes this semester, I have plenty of flexibility in the mornings and afternoons. I am excited to use that time caring for your fur babies! I give dogs freedom to sniff, stroll, and play at their pace—always sticking to their routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

“We found Jamie when we were looking for someone to walk our 2 dogs while I was out of town and my husband had 12 hour work shifts. We have a 10 month old and 2 year old pitbulls, and Jamie was wonderful with them!! He came over late at night and walked them nearly 2 miles every time, even in the pouring rain! He cleaned up when our puppy had an accident, and left wonderful notes so we could know how the visit went. We even told him he didn’t need to walk our older dog since the puppy is handful enough, but he easily walked both of them every time! We will definitely use Jamie again and again when we need a dog sitter!”

Rachel R.

“Amy is amazing. She is thoughtful and diligent, and I trust her completely with my pup. She’s goes above and beyond, making recommendation regarding food and training. And, in her free, time she fosters dogs and volunteers at a shelter.”

Jenny H.

“Danielle was great! She arrived right on time and was very communicative and easy to get ahold of. she also took so many pictures which I loved! Would definitely recommend!”

Cara H.

Andy H.

“Clay was fantastic! He was friendly and professional during the meet and greet, and his communication has been responsive and polite. He arrived on time for my pup's walk and sent me a photo.”

About: I am a proud cat owner who has co-cared for all sorts of dogs over the years. From pitbulls to chihuahuas, I've been challenged and rewarded by all my furry friends. Apart from roommates and partners, I've also cared for many of my friends animals while they were out of town. One of whom (a dog) I had to administer medication orally. I am also comfortable with syringe applications. From a personality standpoint, I have a way with dogs that just comes naturally. I'd call it a commanding presence, although I can be a big softie, too. Always down for a cuddle! For both cats and dogs, know that I will give your pets time to adjust to my presence, aka let them come to me and give them space, so that I can foster a measure of trust between us. When walking your dog expect that I will be focused, confident and vigilant, keeping an eye out for any triggers your dog my have to outdoor stimuli. For every booking I accept there will be pictures provided as well as a detailed summary of our time together. Your pet's safety is my primary concern, so should anything abnormal occur you will be notified in a timely manner. Please leave information regarding diet, medications, general health info, behavioral issues, personality, and hiding spaces. When it comes to daily routine I'd like to keep things as close to their eveyday schedule as possible. Any information about your building, parking, lockbox location, or house rules would be great help. I'm always available to answer any questions you have, so feel free to contact me with any concerns via the Rover phone number provided. Thanks for wading through this with me. Can't wait to meet your special friends. ** Bonded and licensed via Pet Care Insurance (PCI) My best friend and roommate has an elderly cat I help her care for, so pet care is a daily commitment for me. Your pets will receive the same love and care. I am on the job hunt and a DC transplant, so I have a pretty open schedule at the moment and a healthy desire to explore the area with your pups. I am not accepting stays at the moment, but at your residence I intend to give the same care and attention you would. Please let me know of your daily routine, their favorite toys/games, and sociability level. My aim is to build a foundation of trust with your animals and have a safe, fun time together.

About: Hey, I’m Ross. I’ve been dog and cat sitting in the St. Louis area for the last 8 years. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and demeanors including all kinds of doodle mixes (big and small), Boston Terriers, Labradors, Chihuahuas, Gold Retrievers, Jack Russell Terriers, Great Pyrenees, Bulldogs, and many more. Most of my experience has been staying at my client’s houses for a few days up to a few weeks, doing middle-of-the-day check-ins, and doing some dog walks. I’ve been the preferred dog / cat sitter for a family of veterinarians for the last 8 years. They’ve had up to five dogs and a cat at one time. My long-time girlfriend and I also share our home with our beloved cat, Appa. My approach is to stick to my client’s pets’ routines as closely as possible and to have fun! Ultimately, the most important thing is keeping your pet safe, healthy, and comfortable, all the rest is just having a good time with your pet friends. I love getting outside, getting my steps in on long walks, and playing fetch, tug-of-war, chase the ping pong ball or whatever is your pet’s jam. Whenever I’m unable to pet sit for my clients, they often muse that it’s hard to find someone else trustworthy to look after their pets. I build trust by doing what I say I will, communicating frequently and consistently, asking questions (and being an active listener), and treating people’s pets like they’re my own. After all, I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I want my clients to feel like their pet sitter cares (close to) as much as they do. I have a fully remote job so I can work anywhere with an internet connection. The job offers a high level of flexibility and allows me to take periodic breaks throughout the day to tend to any of your pet's needs if I'm staying at your home. I'm also open to walks or check-ins on weekends or after 5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Typically, I stay overnight in my client's homes when they are out of town. I closely read and adhere to all instructions provided. If at all possible, I'll stick to the same routine that your pet is used to. I tend to error on the side of caution when encountering other dogs or people and avoid interactions until I know the pet well and know how they'll react.

“Shannon is lovely - took excellent care of our dog. Punctual and professional. Very relieved to have someone so dependable in the neighborhood!”
