“Sarah took great care of our kitty, Chuck, while we were away for nearly a week. She was very communicative, and followed instructions and came at the appointed times as planned. We were very happy with her care and would love to have Sarah take care of Chuck again when needed!”

“Sady was great to work with. Very good on communication and Lola loved her. Appreciated that she corrected Lola's behavior, and she did everything to accommodate last minute travel issues that delayed my return. Would have sady watch Lola again.”


About: My while life has been surrounded with pets. I have always had dogs of very many sizes. I also have a 6 year old spoiled rabbit named kyle, a bird, a snake and 2 dogs. Besides personal pets and animal experience I have been pet sitting for family and friends since 8th grade. I also have experience in shelters helping care for cats and dogs. And now I walk dogs at the Humane Society for my job. I am saving up with this job and my job at the Humane Society for college! I am going to mizzou majoring in animal science to then go onto vet school. Beyond money this is an opportunity for more experience and fun as I am surrounding myself with my favorite thing which is animals! I am free to be scheduled at any time whether it be to walk, watch, or drop in on your pets any day of the week other than mon-fri 2:00-4:30 pm while I'm working. Other than that I am very flexible and happy to help out with your pets! I will happily follow all your requests and respect your space when I am pet sitting or walking your dog. I will be very attentive towards your animals as I care about them just like my own! I will also give them endless amounts of love!
“I highly recommend Meghan. She came at last minute and filled a need to check on my Rylee. She was always on time and responded to any questions I had. She also did a video meet and greet call. She provided updates and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”

“Nicki did everything I requested and my babies were taken very good care of. She updated me when she was on her way over and took pictures. She gave both of my cats attention and one of them can be rather difficult.”

“Lauren was great! She saved me from worrying about my cats. She was always on time with visits and provided information for every visit. I felt our cats were well cared for...clean and happy! We also looked forward to the daily pictures! Thank you!!!”

“Abby was a great sitter who took excellent care of my pet for my time away. She was communicative and eager to hear how best to care for my cat. I can't wait to book her services again!”

“Eleanor was fantastic. She reassured us with the report cars and photos. We have older cats so more concern about going on vacation. I highly recommend Eleanor as she clearly loves fur babies. Thank-you!!”


About: I have been working in the animal field for 16 years. I also have experience administering medications of all types. I do try to keep to the animal's schedule as best as possible. I'm currently between jobs so I am able to keep your animals active. Once I'm employed again, I'll be able to fit your animal's needs before and after working hours. I prefer keeping your animals in their own home as it is less stressful for them. I keep as close to their schedule as I can on a daily basis.
“This was my first time using Rover and doing drop In visits. I would definitely recommend. Hannah was excellent with my timid little older dog that had a slipped disc. He warmed up to her quickly, was excited to see her when she came and didn’t want her to leave; she took the best care of him. She left detailed updates daily with pictures. I was away for a week and she even offered to water my plants. I will definitely use Hannah again! Thank you so much!”

“Kaity was awesome with our 5 cats! She managed to do a meet and greet on such short notice around the holidays and took great care of them all. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Brooke did a fabulous job caring for my pup Baxter in our home over the weekend. He’s very attached to his Mama and worries when a suitcase appears. Well, the photos Brooke sent me at each visit showed a very happy, playful pup who seemed to love her! I had a worry-free trip and Baxter made a lovely new buddy! My first time using Rover, and I’m hooked! I will 💯 hire Brooke next time I travel - she’s amazing.”

“Rachael is very communicative, kind and always looking for ways to support my cat, Charlie! When Charlie was appearing stressed Rachael offered solutions and respected what Charlie needed! I always feel good leaving Charlie with her!”
“Emily was fantastic! We have 1 very reactive dog so it is a bit of a challenge to get her acclimated to new people. Emily had such a calming presence and was so patient with our dog. She communicated very well and followed all instructions. We have already booked Emily for more trips and visits.”

“Stephen was very communicative, always sent me pictures during each visit, and always mentioned when he was on the way to visit. I appreciated a small paragraph/summary he would always give me at the end of each visit, and after the last visit, made sure to go over everything i kindly reminded him to before i came home. I enjoyed Stephen's energy and knew I could trust him with my babies.”

“Katie took wonderful care of our two dogs, making sure they had ample breaks during the day, sticking to their schedule and going above and beyond to make sure the pups were comfortable while we were gone. A+ all around, thank you Katie!!!”

Patch pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sady went out of her way to help clean up a large mess our dogs had made, including garbage, poop, pee, you name it. Our dog also recently had seizures the other day, and Sady spent extra time giving her extra love and attention when she came over. We appreciate her so much!

Gabrielle provided the best of care for my dog while I was gone. She was prompt, kind, communicative, and professional. She clearly cares very much about dogs and is very knowledgeable as well. I would not hesitate to recommend her for dog walks and dog sitting.

Jessica was great! Communicated well before and during the drop in visits. She cared for my cats as if they were her own, my cats also LOVED her and felt very comfortable. I plan to rebook with Jessica in the future for any other needs! Also she took the cutest photos of my fur babies!!
