“This was my first time using Rover and Alycia was great with my pup. She responded quickly every time I reached out before and after booking and sent me updates and pictures while I was gone. I knew my pup was in very good hands which allowed me to enjoy my trip. I would 100% recommend Alycia and will be using her again for my next trip.”
“Kiffin is great to work schedules with, very personable and dog savvy. Max comes back happy and energetic. She communicates very well by message and I hope she is equally happy with Max and is around a long time for him😊”
“We’ve been using Ryan’s services for several weeks now and our older pup Scooter loves her so much :) She’s very understanding of his health problems and treats him with care. Ryan is the best!”
“I can tell she cares for my dog the way I do when I’m not around! I am so thankful to have found someone that I can fully trust with my pup and with my home. When I leave my house I tell my dog “Virginia is going to come” and he gets so excited and looks out the window to wait for her. She deserves the best review, but I don’t want to share her! She truly is the best and we appreciate her so much!”
“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!”
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”
“Katie was incredible, she was flexible, prompt , timely communications and such a joy to work with. We will be absolutely utilizing her services over and over again. Aero our dog love Katie and that says a lot , she was able to not only manage a hyper active doodle that gets spooked by strangers but she was so patient and supportive. Thank you you certainly set the bar high!”
“Lucy is so energetic and loves Bodi. She takes control of him so he trusts her and obeys her. She truly enjoys animals and I am thrilled with her interactions with him.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 14; Dogs, cats, horses, you name it! In recent years, I have pet sat (Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and even a bearded dragon!) for 5 different families with regularity, relying on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I took some time off to focus on my full-time job but now I am back to take care of your fur babies! I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, and love to learn about each pets needs, quirks, and their favorite spot to be pet! I work as a patient care technician currently and my shifts are 12 hours long, 2 days a week. I am in nursing school, and I go to class Monday and Wednesday from 1pm to 4pm. If you need a quick walk or drop in visit in the early mornings, mid day, and early evening, I'm your gal! If you need a quick drop in while you are at work or running errands, I'm your gal as well! I do not mind late night drop ins or walks as well, I am pretty flexible for walks and drop ins throughout the day if I’m not working at the hospital. I love to walk parks and hike through trails, and your dog can come along for the ride anytime!! I am always very respectful of boundaries and client's homes. I will care for your pets just as you would, providing them with as much attention and love they desire! I am always respectful of your pets boundaries as well, and will never put them in a stressful situation. I currently live in an apartment that only allows cats, and I have one kitty cat named Booker. I am a nursing student and I study quite a bit. If your pet needs a person who can chill and keep them company, I can 100% provide that! If your pet needs someone to play and run around with, I can 100% provide that as well! If your pet has medical administration needs, I have experience with this as well. One family that I pet sat regularly for had a kitty who needed insulin via injection two times a day. I am always punctual with medicine times and I follow instructions very closely.
About: I have had dogs all my life and care and love for every dog that comes my way! Animals are very special and deserve to be treated as such! I am home from college for the summer and have some free time! I love animals and would very much enjoy spending my time with them! I will make sure that your pet gets the love and care that it needs. Safety for your pet is my biggest priority! I understand that trusting people with your pets can be hard, but I make sure to communicate so you and your pet feel comfortable.
“Dave did an amazing job with my dog! Dave was also super responsive and always kept me updated. We will definitely be using him again in the future for our dog walking needs.”
About: I've had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember. We used to foster puppies and it was the absolute favorite thing to help these pets find their homes and also take care of our own dogs. I love playing outside with the little guys and just seeing the smiles on their cute faces! I’m currently working part-time in the food industry. I graduated Webster Groves High with a 3.5 gpa and I’m going to a private university in Kansas City Missouri. I can sit any pet between the times of 8am-4pm :) I’ve done a ton of nannying in my past, I like to the leave the place cleaner than it was when I walked in and make it look like I wasn’t even there :)
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always helped my parents take care of them! I now have a black lab of my own :) I am available on weekends at any time! :) Please contact me if you need your pup let out, fed & watered, played with, or taken for a walk ☺️ I will not be providing the boarding service, but I would love to take your dog on walks or stop in to let him/her go potty!
About: Empathetic and caring for animals. My first pet was a fish. Since then I've had a gerbil, dog (bichon frise) and now have two cats (part maine coon). I have volunteered with child care and senior care facilities. Always enjoy spending time with and connecting with pets. Rarely meet a pet I have difficulty connecting with. I'm currently having more free time than normal. I usually do four 10hr shifts until 7pm, with Wed, Sat Sun off. Often engaged in other opportunities on the side but if you let me know ahead of time I will try to work into my schedule. I can bring toys, treats, food, litter or anything needed, but not currently boarding pets at my residence. I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) feel comfortable, clean up after myself and any pet(s), and keep you informed of anything out of the normal.
About: I’ve been caring for family and friends’ pets for over 15 years, gaining experience with a wide range of animals and personalities. What began with daily walks for my neighbor’s spirited Shiba Inu grew into house and pet sitting for a variety of pets, including two senior Shih Tzus who required diaper changes and medication. I’m also a cat lover—having cared for my own and many others over the years, I understand the patience and attentiveness their care requires too. My extensive experience with pets of all kinds has shaped me into a reliable, attentive sitter. Ultimately, I’m not making a business of petsitting—it’s something I genuinely enjoy so I do. So, I use Rover as a way to connect with and form consistent clients relationships. No matter your pet’s breed, size, personality, or needs, they’ll receive quality care and attention while you’re away. I hope to connect with you soon! I now work full-time in a hybrid role, which allows me to be home several days a week. While I may not have midday availability every day, I ensure that your pets receive attentive care during mornings, evenings, and throughout my at-home workdays. With advance notice, I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. In clients’ homes, I strive to replicate your pet’s daily routine to ensure comfort and continuity. Whether your pet starts the day at 6 a.m. or enjoys daily walks, I adapt to their specific schedule and needs. Additionally, I take pride in maintaining your home’s condition, ensuring it’s just as tidy as you left it.
“Basically did an awesome job with my doggo. This is the first time I've ever hired a dog walker and I will certainly do it again. She always informed when she was coming, went above and beyond, and my dog was excited to see her every day!”
