Cat Sitting in Normandy

“This was first time using Rover and wasn't sure what to expect. Amanda was very attentive and sympathetic to how Anon (my cat) is skittish as well as his specific dietary needs and daily care. She always let me know when she was going to visit for the day as well as went the extra mile to track him down when he was hiding to get verification photos. She is awesome and I would 100% use her again in the future!”

“Mackenzie took great care of my gals when I was away. She gave detailed updates and made sure to take the time to keep the cats entertained. I am definitely planning to use her in the future.”

“Zadee was amazing! Took into account all my concerns about my senior cat and was incredibly communicative, with pictures and updates multiple times daily. Above and beyond, in my opinion.”

“Tara always makes me feel at ease when I’m away from my cats. I know they are in good hands and that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals! She always sends me lots of sweet pictures and a thorough update after each visit. I will continue booking with her!!”

“Absolutely love Katlyn! Asked if she could do a last minute drop in on my boys and she took such great care of them and sent lots of pics!”

“Jon responded on short notice when my travel plans changed, and did a great job taking care of Ike! He is very professional and communicative.”

“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Kerri was fabulous! We were out of town for almost two weeks and this was the first time leaving our kitties alone with someone who wasn’t family. I was extremely nervous, but my Mom hires sitters through Rover very frequently and has always had good experiences. Hiring Kerri was the best decision I could have made! She came daily to feed the kitties, and make sure their water fountain was filled up. She was great about letting me know if they had any food left, or if they were more hungry when she got there, as well as keeping me updated on how frequently their water fountain bowl needed to be filled. One of our cats, Dolly, absolutely adored Kerri! I was sent lots and lots of pictures of Dolly cuddling and playing, which gave me so much piece of mind! Our other cat, Salem, is extremely shy, and hides from almost anyone. So much so, that most of our family hasn’t even seen him in person before. Though Kerri wasn’t able to see him, as he’s a great hider, and I honestly expected he wouldn’t make an appearance. That didn’t stop her from making a really great effort of trying to find him in all of his favorite hiding spots! As well as listening to see if she could hear him running around at all upstairs. I so appreciate that she looked for him, but didn’t push too hard for him to come out. As he’s very anxious and I think that would have stressed him out even more. Kerri also brought in all our packages that were left at the door and even kept an eye on my plants for me as well! She truly went above and beyond! I absolutely would recommend Kerri a million times over again!”

“Jeffery did a great job with my cat! I hired him for a short house-sitting stint and he did quite well. Cinnamon seemed to get along well with him, and he took care of her feeding schedule expertly. The extra tasks I needed (bring in mail, set the faucets dripping for the freezer warning, etc.) were handled. Everything was in order when I came home, as far as I can tell. I definitely plan on turning to him for his help if I need it again in the future!”

“Francie was wonderful! She came over and met our labs and they instantly loved her. She was punctual, did everything we asked, and updated us on how her visits went. We would definitely recommend Francie for anyone looking for a kind and responsible dog sitter.”

“Izzy was fantastic with our Shih Tzu, Merton. She hit it off with Merton the minute they met. She was very nurturing and had a great vibe about her. Izzy stayed at our house for the weekend and everything went really well. She was respectful of our home, responsible and our dog was so well cared for. She sent us pictures every day so we didn't need to worry. I will hire her again!”

“My elderly sister cats come running when Julie comes in! They know she will pet, play, feed, and give them treats. I couldn't leave town without knowing that they are getting such good care. Julie is able to give medication, and comes exactly on time twice a day to administer it. I miss my girls when I leave, but I know they are in good hands.”

“To all my travel nurses/healthcare professions in the STL area, Sydney is your go-to-person for your pet. 👏🏼 Her care, communication, and compassion is 5 star. She’s truly someone you can trust with your pet and someone you can trust in your home.”

“She’s been the only person I continue to trust to watch my dogs, both past and present over the last 5 years. She’s attentive and a good communicator. She’s good about respecting your pet’s boundaries and does everything possible to avoid putting them in an uncomfortable situation.”

“I asked Madison to look after my dog Bear a couple times due to out of state tournaments for softball. She was super excited too! Her schedule was super easy, which was beneficial for my busy schedule! Madison also updated me on how Bear was doing daily, and was never afraid to reach out.”

“Catherine was great. Flexible with drop off and pick up. Has a fenced backyard and Konan seems very happy and well taken care of.”

“Alex is great! Communication/updates were amazing, all of my babies were well taken care of. Gave me so much peace knowing I could focus on my trip instead of worrying about my pets and home. Thank you Alex!”

About: I have years of animal handling experience and have been training dogs for close to a decade. You can be sure you beloved family members are in safe caring hands when staying with me! I currently work full time but my availability allows me to be home and or close by if needed. Fridays are my only full work days when choosing boarding with me. Having one full day that is similar to an owner’s work schedule can help make new boarding friends feel more comfortable. As their schedule will start the same as if they were right at home. We love adventures over here! With multiple parks nearby you can rest easy knowing your loved doggy is getting out and exercised! In home we prefer crate trained pups to be sure everyone is safe but if your family member has a good history of not being destructive outside of their kennel then they can hang out with the rest of us. If they do show signs of being unsafe when left out then they will be crated in the best size appropriate kennel.

About: I grew up with dogs all my life-big and small. I love all animals and have had many different animals including snakes, tarantula, birds, cats other reptiles and of course dogs throughout my life. My friends have told me that I should work with animals because of my knowledge, how I teach and take care of animals. Friends come to me for advice about their animals. Not only do I love and respect animals I genuinely love and respect nature and the world. I'm retired so I have time for my animals and your animal babies too. Most of my time is spent with my grandsons and Anakin; my dog, outside doing yardwork or in one of many parks in St Louis. I walk my dog in my yard on leash or walk to the park down the street from my house, weather permitting. I can walk your dog the same way or come to your house to take care of your animal baby. I'm retired/disabled and have one dog to take care of at the moment. I'm at home most of the time so I have time and love for other people's pets too. The only other thing that keeps me busy are my 3 youngest grandsons who also love animals and I teach them to respect and to be kind to animals. *If you need a service but see in my calendar I'm not available you can message me because most of the days I'm not available is usually only for 3 to 4 hours during that day and I could possibly be available for what you need* I have one bird and I keep his cage clean, change his water regularly and make sure he has food. I have one dog at home that I take out on leash in my front yard, walk him as many days a week as possible to the park directly down the street from my house, I rub his belly, give him treats when he's a good boy and play with him with his toys. All the stuff I do for my animals, I would do for your animals as well.

“Emma was a dream. Such a great communicator, prompt, tidy, easy to connect with and she takes puppy fashion photos like a boss. ;) Also, my dog really liked her and was well taken care of. I’ll definitely hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“You cannot leave your furry loved ones in better hands than Lauren’s. She is communicative, reliable, and personable. My shy cat loves her, and that means the world in my book.”
