“Polar B always has the best time with Mariah and her pups. She is always willing to chat with me about training methods, behavior, and everything else dog related. We switched to in home doggy daycare as most places were way too big. I no longer worry about Polar B getting sick or worrying about other dogs’ behavior as Mariah always keeps a close eye on them. Couldn’t recommend more !”


“Damica is trustworthy and excellent with my pup. Kya has come home tired and happy from daycare both times I have picked her up, which is exactly what I wanted! Damica is quick to respond and provides updated videos/photos throughout the day so I can see what Kya is up to. Will definitely rehire.”


“Thank you so much! Love the pictures!”



“She’s super helpful and Iggy seems to really like her too. I’ll definitely go back to Ruthie again if I ever need my pom in daycare. ???? Ruthie you’re awesome!”

“Great doggy sitter. Our 2 loved staying with Veronica and Ella. She sent pics and a video while they were there. Ella and LuLu the 2 doodles had so much fun playing in the backyard in the snow. Gia enjoyed the sunshine and the snow. I would trust Veronica to take care of our pups when we are in St Louis again.”


About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.

About: I have had my own dogs for my entire life and now care for my childrens' dogs when they go out of town. My neighbors have relied on my to walk their dogs during the day. I am currently retired from my last position as a massage therapist and my own dog of 16 years passed away a year ago. I am home most days, and can give your pet my unconditional attention. I have a fenced yard and live alone so there will be no distractions from caring for you pup. I tend to be away from home only for a couple of hours, if that, most days.

“Very easy to work with!”


“Today was the first time Tyler watched my dog and it was a seamless, exceptional experience for both my dog and I. His love and commitment to dogs are evident immediately after meeting him. The environment, indoors and out, were excellent. His own dogs are well trained and my dog loved them. I highly recommend Tyler.”


“Sarah was very accommodating due to our last minute request. Very close communication and put us at ease as this was our first time using ROVER. Our Reese took right to her from the start and didn't seem to mind going right along with her. DOGS KNOW GOOD PEOPLE! Would definitely recommend without question. Thanks for a wonderful experience.😄”


“Sara was super responsive and I had good vibes as soon as I met her. She seems super chill and Birdy got to play with her dog Hank all day! Thank you!”


“Julia was excellent!!! Communicated well and sent pictures!!”



“We have been sending Ellie to daycare with Jordan since July 9th and we have had a wonderful experience! We know that she is safe and happy at Jordan’s. He takes her for walks and she enjoys them a lot! He was kind enough to give her a bath when we couldn’t manage to during a really busy week. Very flexible with timings too. We highly recommend Jordan!”


About: With years of dog mom experience and fostering for local rescues, I can honestly say dogs are my first love. I have two rescued senior dogs, Pork Chop, a Jack Russell terrier and Trudy a “super sized” dachshund who are the loves of my life. They are the “golden girls” of the neighborhood and adore other dogs. They have helped many of my fosters overcome separation anxiety and are always happy to meet new pups. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that much like humans, they all have wildly different personalities. Their safety and well being are my greatest priorities so please share as much info as you can regarding triggers, food restrictions, resource guarding or anything else that makes them unique. ⚡️☔️ If your pet has triggers, not a problem! I’m well practiced in handling those unpredictable moments, keeping your baby safe and relaxed indoors and on walks. 💊 If your dog or cat needs meds, don’t fret! I’ve cared for animals in varying stages of health and have tons of experience in how to administer meds to even the snootiest of snoots. 🍗 Is your dog a trash eater? Fear not, so are mine! My years of being a dog mom have created a 6th sense for knowing when our fuzzy toddlers are about to grab a “street treat.” 🐱 And let’s not forget kitties, they are my favorite people too! I grew up around cats and care for a few neighbor kitties so I’m familiar with all the quirks that make them lovable. Special feeding requests and litter box cleanings are not a bother so you can feel confident your feline friend will be kept well fed and tidy. ⏰ Most of my availability is between 9am and 9 pm but please check with me as I will always do my best accommodate if you need an earlier or later walk. Boarding is case by case since I already have two dogs. A preliminary meet and greet is required to be sure everyone gets along. Also, I can only board dogs up to 25 pounds. My home is a calm, safe environment where dogs are free to lounge, play and be themselves. If your dog likes to be free or needs some crate time just let me know, I understand how important it is to follow these instructions. Changing wee wee pads is never an issue, just leave the fresh ones out and I’m at your service! As for Covid-19 safety there’s no reason to worry, I’m fully vaccinated/ boosted and always masked. Plus, I travel in my own car, avoiding public transportation so you can feel at ease when I enter your home. I’m also happy to remove my shoes, wash pet bowls and clean surfaces during feeding times :) Hope you enjoy the photo gallery of all the fur babes in my orbit 🪐

About: I’ve grown up with a variety of pets, and love learning their personalities. More than comfortable with wide ranges of ages and can provide medication, activities, and lots of love! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I can care for pets after the hours of 5pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I am flexible, outside of weekday working hours 8am-5pm. I feed/water, pet/cuddle, clean up after, bathe/groom, walk/play with my pet on a daily basis, depending on the service, I do the same for my clients.

“Jacki was so great! Roscoe immediately felt at home and she sent update photos to keep me in the loop. Fae, her dog, was so sweet and was immediately Roscoe's buddy. Will definitely use her again!”


“We were on a road trip across country and we really wanted to take our daughter to the Saint Louis Zoo as we were passing through, but obviously couldn’t leave the dogs in the car while we did that. We found Kyle last minute on Rover and he was great! Communication was super good and it was easy to just drop the dogs off with him. You could tell the they were well taken care of while we were out seeing the town. I would highly recommend Kyle if you ever need a dog sitter.”

Amy H.
“I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Amy! From the moment she met my dogs Iko and Clinton, it was clear they had a natural connection. Iko (Border Collie) can be a little pushy at first, but Amy was incredibly patient, kind, and gentle, which kept him calm and behaved. She went above and beyond in caring for Clinton—taking the time for walks, playtime, and even sending regular updates on administrations of his medicine. It was obvious she truly cared and paid attention to both of their needs and personality. I came home to healthy dogs and everything was in great shape. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets.”


Mary B.Star Sitter
“Mary has watched our pets many times. She goes above and beyond to make our pet comfortable and safe. She gave our dog Millie more attention and affection than anyone else who has watched our pets. She is intuitive to the needs of our pet and really was able to connect and understand our dogs personality traits. She is a great communicator, sent us lots of photo updates and is very reliable. Mary is our go-to for watching Millie when we are out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Jenna has always had a special spot in her heart for animals. The love and care she shows to every animal possible makes me comfortable with her watching my cat and dog. Not only does she realized the impact she can have on animals, she also realizes how great they are to be around and sometimes prefers it to others! Highly recommend letting Jenna care for your pet.”
