“Shannon takes great care of Lilo during my long work days. Lilo even warmed up to her right away and now can barely wait to get into the door to see her 🤣 I am so thankful for all her time and how responsive and kind she is!”


“I can’t say enough about how great Lauren was with our puppy. She was so kind and loving to him and he was very well cared for. She was super flexible with our schedule, which I greatly appreciate! I would give her a 10 star review if I could. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”



“Just passing through and needed to leave Tobi somewhere safe for part of the day. Francie was great, exceeded expectations. Tobi loved playing with the other dt. This was our first Rover experience, but we'll be doing it again as we continue our travels.”


“Eli had a fun afternoon with Mariah and the other dogs. This was my first time using Rover and Mariah made a believer of me. When I picked Eli up he was calm and content. Later he was ready to just chill so I know he had an enterentertaining afternoon.”


About: I LOVE animals! I grew up on a farm in Arizona surrounded by dogs, chickens, cows, hamsters, and even a few ferrets and a snake! I adopted my own fur baby (an almost three year old lab, Pyrenees, Newfoundland mix🥰) a few years ago, and we are excited to be helping y’all out with your pets! I’m currently not working besides taking care of pets on Rover, so my availability is pretty open and flexible. In very few instances, I may need to request a slight changing in time frame to accommodate for my two kiddos under two (fun times! 😂 ) and dropping off/picking up my partner from his job. All things considering, life as a stay at home mom allows me to be most available for doggy day care and boardings, but if you’re fine with my sister tagging along to help with my away-from-home sittings, I can sit your house for you as well (overnights most of the time for me are a no-go, but I’m a night owl/early bird so I can come and leave early/late, and my sister is able to spend overnights as well if needed throughout most of the week. But you never know so please feel free to talk to me and we can see if we can work something out 😊). If you’re considering boarding/doggy day care, my apartments have a dog park just a short walk away from my unit, so I would be able to provide them with ample exercise, and both my kiddos and my pup LOVE and get along well with other pets. We are also conveniently located only five minutes from the airport, so you can drop them off on your way to vacation and pick them up without going too far out of your way on your way home! I have experience with most breeds, ages, and needs of dogs, and while I’m not trained in any type of CPR/first aid (nor have I ever needed to use it), I have the head knowledge. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions! Thank you for booking with me! Your pets will be well loved. 🥰 NOTICE: I NO LONGER ACCEPT PITS OR PIT MIXES TO BOARD. I HAVE HAD TOO MANY CASES WHERE A SITUATION AROSE WHERE MY DOG OR ANOTHERS’ DOG(S) HAVE BEEN PUT IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION DUE TO A PIT. AS OF NOW, I STILL ACCEPT HOUSE SITTINGS WITH PITS/PIT MIXES. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🥲 As I said, this is my only source of income, so I can cater to the needs of your pet right along with my own with practically nothing to stand in the way! 😊 I treat your pet like my own (yes, they even sleep on my bed sometimes 😂), and I honestly take even more care over yours to ensure the best experience all around. This means leashing them EVERY TIME we go outside and BEFORE any doors are opened, giving them space if needed and around other dogs (not including my own if boarding/doggy day care), etc.

“Chelsea really takes good care of Bella and we really appreciate her. Top notch!”


“I was a little hesitant about leaving my Shepherd mix but Aaryn really made me feel at ease with my decision. She was absolutely great with Ravenna and I know from updates throughout the day that my precious girl had a fun filled day. Aaryn is extremely knowledgeable, she really enjoys what she’s doing and the animals absolutely love her. I would DEFINITELY recommend her”


“Isabella was wonderful with our little Rae and we will definitely be recommending her to friends and family in the St Louis area! Our puppy felt right at home with Isa and we were so thankful to have her while we visited St Louis!”


“Repeat booking with Madeline. Dogs were happy and calm when I picked them up. Madeline is great with fast communication and flexibility. Thank you we will book again.”


“Allison watched my little boy while I was at work and she took great care of him. He was excited to be there and was happy to not be left alone. She was accommodating and super friendly. We will be using her again!”


About: I’ve been into animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and horses. I knew I wanted to at some point work with them in a greater capacity. I started helping with rescues 15 years ago and then I started doing wild life rehabilitation. I have had over 20 rescue animals in the past 15 years that became part of my family. Cats, dogs, squirrels, etc. I love them and being able to care for them. My daughter is headed to Veterinary school next fall! I’d like to think the love of animals she has seen in me helped her come to such an amazing decision. Let me love on your fur babies like I do on my 2 doggies and kitty cats!! I am currently available at anytime! I’m flexible with your schedule and can change if needed on things. I do remote work 4 hours per day 3 days a week which offers me the flexibility to be available when they need it anytime of day or night! I am willing to do things the way that you feel is best for your individual animals. I do not believe there is just one standard for caring, it needs to be tailored to the needs of the client/animal.

“Sarah was amazing! Super responsive, accommodating, and kind. Even sent us photos of our dog throughout the day! Will definitely be returning.”


“Great doggy sitter. Our 2 loved staying with Veronica and Ella. She sent pics and a video while they were there. Ella and LuLu the 2 doodles had so much fun playing in the backyard in the snow. Gia enjoyed the sunshine and the snow. I would trust Veronica to take care of our pups when we are in St Louis again.”


About: Hi there! I’m Lilah 🤗 - a passionate and experienced dog lover. Although I have been in the corporate world for the past 11 years, I have also provided top-notch dog sitting services sporadically for over 20 years. My goal with this career change is to find a more meaningful existence and flexibility to spend quality time with my family. I absolutely adore spending time with my furry friends 🐶 I understand that leaving your beloved pup in someone else's care can be a daunting experience, but rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness above all else, ensuring they have a pawsome time while you're away. I focus on behavioral training, socialization, and providing both you and your pup with the best experience pawsible 🐾 I am well-versed in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I am more than happy to accommodate any specific needs or preferences your pup may have. I've lived with dogs my entire life. From Huskies, to Golden Retrievers and Yorkies, I lived and/or cared for them all. I currently have a wonderfully aloof 8 year old Rottweiler, a playful 3 year old Olde English Bulldog and a cat who loves his dog brothers. I am vastly familiar with dog psychology and behavior and have learned numerous training methods in my spare time. If you're looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, knowledgeable and compassionate dog sitter, I would be more than delighted to meet you and your fur baby. Feel free to reach out so we can get to know each other better. I can't wait to become a trusted and beloved companion for your dog 🐕🦺🥳🦴 I am transitioning into the pet care business and working on my schedule. As of now I am available weekday evenings, with more availability on the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard and partially finished basement with a pet area including crates and pens. Transportation is available for fun walks in forest park.

About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.

“Alex was amazing! I will definitely be using her again! She was so welcoming and did everything she could to make Aspen feel comfortable and happy!”


“Our pup Mattie sprints to the front door, she’s always so excited to play with Fae. Safe, responsible pet watching—what else could you ask for?”


“Lisa’s daycare services have been excellent for my pup! I was eager to find a place where my dog, Laika, could interact with a small, familiar group of dogs more regularly since a large daycare environment would likely be overwhelming to her. Lisa has been super thoughtful and accommodating to both my pup and my own hectic schedule, and I can tell Laika is always eager to see her new friends when she goes to daycare.”


About: With a heart full of love for animals, I treat every pet like family. Your dog won’t just get care—they’ll get a buddy too! My own friendly pup loves to play, so your dog will always have a companion. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just hanging out, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and never alone. I’m especially great with puppies and senior dogs, giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they need. Oh—and if your dog speaks Spanish, no worries… ¡yo también! I work from home, so I’m always around to give your pet the attention they need—day or night. Whether it's potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m fully present and available. Your pet will never feel alone, and you can have peace of mind knowing someone is always there. Safety is always my top priority. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease from the very beginning. I follow any routines or special instructions you provide and always create a calm, secure environment where your pet can relax, play, and be themselves.

“Alison was great! We needed a sitter for our pup on vacation while we went to a concert. She was so great with Sage, communicative and sent pics while we were out. We could see how happy Sage was in each photo which helped us enjoy our time together as a family knowing Sage was well cared for. We would definitely book Alison again!”

Lilah T.
“Lilah has been incredible caring for our dogs, a 55 lb poodle and a 12 pound toy rat terrier. They are so excited when they see her and it’s clear she loves them too. She is incredibly patient with them, throwing the ball for fetch for the millionth time as they continue to bring her their damp toys, and taking them for walks. She’s also been very mindful of the high temperatures, making sure they aren’t outside for too long in the heat and that the pavement isn’t too hot on our patio. We also highly recommend Lilah for house sitting and childcare — she’s the best!”


Amy H.
“Amy has helped me out with my dogs on multiple occasions, and I've always been very happy with the care she has provided. One of my dogs has a health issue, but that was no problem with Amy, as she made sure everything was taken care of as it should be while she watched her for a week. Whether it be to walk, be a companion, or pet sit, Amy has it all under control, and honestly couldn't think of any one I would rather have help me out.”

He’s patient, kind, and always goes the extra mile to make sure she feels safe and loved. I’ve never had to worry when she’s with him he treats her like part of his own family. It is such a relief to know she’s in good hands. I truly trust Nelson and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitte”
