“Cynthia was amazing. My dog loved her immediately at the meet and greet. Sent lots of photos and videos throughout the vacation. 100 percent recommend her and will definitely hire her again. This was my first time using Rover and was very hesitant however I could not have had it go any better.”
“Audrey was available on short notice and took great care of my dog. I appreciated the frequent communication, I recommend her and will definitely ask her to watch my dog in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Alex enough. We had just moved to St Louis and had a family emergency which took us out of town last minute and for quite some time. Alex went above and beyond while we were away. He sent so maybe updates and truly loved our dogs while we were away. Thank you so much, Alex!!”
“Haley was wonderful with Piper! She followed all pipers instructions and schedules, and left our home even cleaner than when we left! She even stayed late on the last day when our flight was delayed due to bad weather so Piper wouldn’t be alone. Would highly recommend!”
“Tori did a wonderful job taking care of our fur-kid, Franklin, and our home while we were gone. She was great about sending photos and reaching out to me if she had any questions. Franklin completely took to her and was as normal as could be when we got home after a week away. (He's 8 mos old and this was his first experience being left with a sitter.) It was wonderful to return home to a tidy house AND a happy cat. I would recommend Tori to anyone who needs a thoughtful, conscientious house & pet sitter!”
“This is the second time Asia has watched our dog for an extended period of time! She did a great job taking care of our dog and keeping an eye on our house! She’s on time and detailed in her communication! Thanks Asia!”
“Katie is great!! She babysat our two cats in our home for 5 days. Each is on a separate feeding regimen - one for thyroid disease and one for kidney disease. She was very conscientious with their care. One has to be fed wet food every 3-4 hours and with the help of an automated feeder and ice packs, she managed his schedule wonderfully. She sent tons of pics and communicated regularly. Katie will go beyond your expectations and treat your pets like her own!”
“Great experience! Our pups were happy and well cared for while we were away. We received daily pictures of what they were up to as well. Will definitely recommend Taylor!”
“Cecille made an otherwise challenging process so effortless by being available with very little notice and by being communicative and flexible in making arrangements. Throughout the process, she was willing to go above and beyond my expectations to make sure my fur child was cared for, and in doing so, provided such valuable peace of mind. Cecille, thank you so much for your time and kindness!”
“Heather is fantastic! We have an anxious dog that warmed right up to Heather and knowing that our dog and cat are in good hands while we are away, provides so much peace. Thank-you Heather!”
“Max was an amazing pet sitter for my cat Birdie and my hamster Oso. I was worried as this was my first time leaving my cat for this long and she's a rescue and very shy. But, Birdie took to Max very quickly and Max made sure to keep me updated and let me know she was ok. I appreciated how communicative he was with me throughout my time away. Thanks to Max I was able to enjoy my first vacation in over 2 years. I will definitely be reaching out to Max the next time I go on vacation.”
“Alicia was very polite, responsible, and friendly. She kept us updated with photos and texts during our absence . The dogs seem to love her and I would definitely recommend her service.”
About: My whole life, I've provided care and love to a series of five lovable golden retrievers and numerous other dogs. I've promoted their health through frequent walks and exercise, given comfort to them through play and cuddles, and have paid the utmost attention to their needs. I taught one of my family's current goldens to obey commands when he was a puppy and helped the other to overcome his fear of swimming through gentle encouragement and coaxing. I will provide all this experience to ensure your dogs enjoy their time! I'm currently a PhD student at WashU and so have the majority of my availability in the evenings and weekends. Weekends are best, especially considering the rigors of the school year. My philosophy with pet care is to be gentle but fair. I will go along with the pet's needs for the majority of the time and encourage their development through correction of their behaviors, when necessary. This correction will be done through verbal warnings just strong enough to get the message across, without being overly hostile.
“Fudge loves, Loves, LOVES when Chris E. stays with him while we are away! And I appreciate the pictures, videos and peace of mind knowing that he is well cared for, loved and in his own home.”
About: There has been a dog living in my house my entire life, so I have lots of experience with caring for and spending time with dogs. Since 2020, I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and temperaments when house sitting or dog sitting. In addition to typical tasks, such as walking, feeding, and playing with dogs, I have completed tasks such as administering eye drops to an elderly dog, giving medication to dogs of multiple ages, and helping an elderly dog use pet-friendly stairs. I currently have a part-time job, so I have plenty of extra time to check on your house or spend time with your dogs this summer. I am able to crate dogs as needed, play with them inside or in a fenced yard, and take them on walks as requested. I make sure to carefully follow instructions regarding safety, such as proper leash usage and the implementation of baby gates. One of my dogs at home is slow to build trust, so I have experience helping anxious dogs warm up to me. I understand that dogs have boundaries and that they may take several days to become comfortable around me.

Olivette pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jamie did a great job of taking care of our pup, Nyla. I could tell that Nyla was not stressed when we came home. She sent us picture of updates of Nyla which was reassuring. Jamie was respectful of our home while house sitting and I felt very comfortable that I could trust her. We plan to book with her again if possible.
We were so grateful for Molly, who house sat for us and took care of our dog, Teddy, while we were out of town on Spring Break! It was our first time using a dog sitter and Ted is still a puppy so we were nervous, but Molly handled it all flawlessly and was so patient with our Tedster. Thank you Molly, we look forward to another booking!
Deonna was fantastic. Very communicative, sent me pictures frequently. If the dogs had an issue she notified me right away. I came home and could tell my dogs were happy, calm and very well cared for. I couldn't have been more pleased with the care she provided for my dogs.
Lauren was amazing! She communicated the entire time we were gone and made us feel really good about leaving our boy in her care. We have a 3-year old golden retriever that is very mischievous and will eat things if they are left out. Lauren made sure to be meticulous about picking things up to ensure our boy was safe. So grateful for her!
