“Gabrielle walked my mom’s two rowdy border terriers for several weeks multiple times a week. She always showed up on time, was courteous and respectful and was great with the dogs. She was also very communicative. She always sent a photo and let us know how many times they peed and pooped. Thank you, Gabrielle!”

“Laura is very helpful, dependable and thoughtful. Laura has been helping me out while I have been stuck traveling from flight delays....with a couple of extra visits for my pup. I cannot be more grateful to Laura for her extra help at the last minute.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m a dog owner myself, to a 3yo and a 14yo beagle mix, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, basic medications when needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable with large dogs and small and understand that different dogs have very different energy levels and needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog gets the individual care and attention they’re used to. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to fit walks and drop-in visits into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week and can often accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I’m happy to provide regular recurring walks or check-ins as well as occasional care when you’re working late, traveling, or just need an extra hand. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your dog. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs or house rules. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large and giant breeds, and I pay close attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages since I was 14, and I truly love spending time with animals. I can also administer any medications your pet might need — I know how important their health is! I work a 9–5 desk job, so I make it a goal to walk every day to hit my 10k steps and having a furry walking buddy makes it way more fun. I’m also working on paying off some student loans, so Rover is a great way for me to do something I enjoy while earning a little extra. I’d love to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a meaningful part of my everyday routine. I work a 9–5 desk job, so spending time with animals — whether it’s evening check-ins, after work walks or weekend visits — is the perfect way to stay active, unwind, and do something I genuinely enjoy. I make it a priority to hit my step goal daily, and having a furry companion by my side makes those walks even better. Caring for pets adds balance to my day and gives me a chance to connect with animals. I always strive to make your pets as comfortable as possible. I pay special attention to your pets needs and make sure they are having fun even when their parents are away!
About: Worked at horse barns for 3 years. Taken care of my brothers ranch, or inside pets for other family members while on vacation. Also grew up with a large variety of animals! I’m in college but I am willing to house sit with your animals since it is most convenient for me - unless your address is too far away my usual routine. We can compare schedules to see if I am a good fit! I can be trusted to follow your usual safety measures at your own home. I respect any house boundaries with your personal space and boundaries with your pet! Trust is such an important aspect of letting someone into your own space and taking care of your fur babies.
About: I've had 2 shih tzus (who recently both passed away at almost 16 years old), so I love small dogs (and any and all sweet pups!) I also have a calico cat, who is very sweet. Any pet who stays with us should be cat-tolerant, and also they should be OK with kids. I also have 2 kids (a 7 year old and toddler) who love animals. Please, no aggressive animals, as we do not have experience. House trained pets, please. I work from home, and I am almost always home, except for errands, to take my kids to extra circular classes. We are never out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced backyard, but there are steps to go down it. Pets can roam freely at the house. We can also crate your pet if they are more comfortable sleeping in the crate. But they are free to jump on couches, beds, and furniture. We have baby gates to keep pets out of unsafe areas.
“Caroline was super helpful and flexible as we rolled into town to check out the Arch and needed a dog walker/sitter for our Goober. She had great communication and was excellent to work with!”

“We love Frances she is amazing she's always on time and Buddy can hardly wait until she gets to our house. I had to have shoulder surgery and couldn't walk Buddy so Rover was a perfect option for us. Thank you Frances for making Buddy's day so exciting he's so much more happier because of you.”

About: I work well with every breed of dog! Since I could be home alone, I’ve known how to care for animals. I have owned many different dogs over the years, as well as dog sat for family friends! My love for animals and people is immaculate. I am currently unemployed but looking for a part-time job. Your animals would come first as I would let any new job aware of Rover. (: I will abide by any rules you have following your animal. I will keep them on your trained schedule and make sure everything you need done is done.
About: I have 10+ years volunteering at Petco cleaning cages and caring for cats. My parents have 2 dogs/2 cats which I helped care for growing up. I have lots of experience walking/running/playing with dogs as both of mine are extremely high energy! I am a current graduate student with early morning availability/evening availability. I pretty open availability on weekends and would be open to holiday work if I am in town as well! My apartment does not suit animals so I am looking to care for pets outside my home! I am willing to drive to help care for your pets.

About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.
“If you're looking for a professional review for an excellent dog walker, you could write: > **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended Dog Walker** > > I am extremely pleased with the care and professionalism provided by this dog walker. They are reliable, punctual, and genuinely passionate about animals. My dog is always excited to see them and returns home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed after each walk. Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos that give me peace of mind while I'm away. Their attention to detail, patience, and caring attitude make them someone I trust completely with my pet. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker. For a shorter review: **Excellent dog walker!** Reliable, professional, and caring. My dog loves every walk, and I appreciate the regular updates and attention given to my pet. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide in-home care while they’re away. I’m comfortable following specific routines, handling leash walks, and making sure dogs feel safe, calm, and well cared for in their own environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding schedules, and visits. I’m dependable, organized, and make sure pets receive consistent care and attention. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow all instructions closely, respect routines, and make sure pets are secure and comfortable at all times. I keep spaces clean, double-check doors and gates, and provide calm, attentive care.
About: I’ve had a lot of past experience dog and cat sitting for family friends at a younger age, as well as taking care of my own pets! I’ve always loved animals and would do everything in my power to make sure you AND your animal have a great experience! 🩷 I am a full time culinary student so I am usually busy in the mornings! But I am only taking online classes this summer so I am free most days. I’ve had cats ever since I was a little girl! My cat Casper has been with me for almost 8 whole years and I’ve had Bigby for 6 months! I just absolutely love playing with animals and making sure they are as happy as they can possibly be. All my animals are spoiled little babies and I’ll do just the same for yours :)
“Mike was excellent — super communicative and took great care of our pug. (And kindly rescued a package delivery from an impending storm. ?) We will definitely book again!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. At one point I was taking care of 3 dogs. Currently helping my roommate train her small dogs! I am able to care for pets most nights and weekends! Can stay overnight or make a quick stop for potty breaks, walks, and lovings. I keep a relatively strict feeding schedule but know when to throw in some extra treats for fun. I do my best to exercise with pets and get their energy out in a safe manner.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. My first word was my neighbor’s dog’s name, Ashley! I have been a trusted dog, cat, lizard, and fish sitter for 10 years, and would love to continue! I have experience with elderly and young dogs, and administering medication. I recently got a full time position and am looking for something to do on the side. I am punctual, and patient. I know how it feels to love a pet with your whole heart (even if that pet wasn't mine). I have weekends free, and am free for walks around lunch and in the evening on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have never met a dog I didn’t love and I would love to meet yours! I’m currently working full time but work from home Monday and Friday. Right down the street from Tower Grove Park, where it’s sniff heaven! I love to go for walks and can fit them in the morning, evening and around noon. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I’m more than happy to go on long walks and training/sniff activities to work through some energy and add some mental stimulation!

Our first official walk with Caroline was such a wonderful experience, and I’m so grateful for the patience, compassion, and kindness she showed my sweet Hazel girl! Hazel is my sweet, sassy, reactive little pup who can be incredibly fearful and anxious, especially with new people and unfamiliar situations. Although she had met Caroline once before with me present, this was their first time heading out together without me, and it was a big step for my girl. Hazel was visibly terrified and trembling at first, but Caroline never rushed her or pushed her beyond what she could handle. She met Hazel exactly where she was, with so much gentleness, understanding, and compassion. A friend of mine stepped in to help get everyone situated, and once they headed out, Hazel did great! What meant the most to me was that Caroline truly respected Hazel’s fears and allowed her the time and space she needed to find a little comfort and confidence along the way. For a pup like Hazel, and a momma who knows just how much courage these little moments take, that means more than I can put into words. We are so incredibly grateful to have found Caroline and look forward to many more walks, growing trust, and watching Hazel become more comfortable and confident with her new friend! Thank you, Caroline, for seeing my sweet girl for who she is and meeting her with the love, patience, and kindness she deserves. 🐾💕

Elizabeth provided our family complete peace of mind when we were unable to give Tux his normal daily walks. We felt very comfortable knowing that she has experience with her own aging doggie with particular preferences. Elizabeth was able to get Tux into his harness for the walk and reward him his daily supplement treat. She always made sure he had fresh water and food before leaving. When we’re in need, we will be reaching out to Elizabeth again.

It was my 1st time using a dog walker & Tabitha excelled!!! She is a total pro, caring and very detailed. Holly looked forward to Tabitha’s walks and I appreciate the peace of mind, knowing Holly was in great hands. Will definitely use her again in the future & highly recommend!
