“I'm beyond happy with the service I received. She made sure to communicate and check in with me everyday at the times I specified for Midnight. I normally come home and midnight looks sad and depressed when others have watched her. I came in and she was so happy, energized and very well taken care of. My house looks the same, nothing out of place or damaged. Thank you so much Gabrielle. I will definitely continue to use her and reference her to my other dog parents. Thank you!!!”
“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”
“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”
“William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.”
“Risa answered my booking at the last minute and was so understanding and accomodating to the requests I had. She ensured my pup was taken care of to the best extent, kept me well informed, and went above and beyond. Definitely recommend her services and would for sure book her again!”
“Miranda was fantastic! Took care of our cats for a few days when a last minute trip came up and sent updates and photos each day and was super reliable. Will definitely book again!”

I am respectful to peoples homes and any more instructions that you have more me are appreciated.
About: I have been dog walking at the APA of Missouri every weekend from 12–2, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels.

About: I love taking care of animals of all sizes! I have three cats, two guinea pigs, and a hamster. I have experience in administering medication to cats and dogs. I work part time, so I have plenty of free time to look after your pets! I am very flexible and can care for pets any day of the week. I have experience in administering medication for cats and dogs as well as looking after disabled and injured animals. I have my own vehicle so can care for animals in the event of an emergency.
About: I have worked in the pet care industry in some capacity since I was 16 years old. This includes experience working in kennels, doggy daycares, dog walking, and overnight pet sitting! I am currently in medical school, trying to maintain my passion for pets while funding my education. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and look forward to giving your pet all the love and care they need and more! As a medical student, I am occupied during the morning, but I am typically available most afternoons and evenings, and every weekend. I have even more availability during holidays and breaks! Every pet I care for gets my undivided attention for the entirety of the service. In addition, I have been trained and certified in pet CPR and first aid multiple times over the years (last renewed in June 2023), and am happy to abide by any specific safety rules you provide.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life as my family had four dogs at once! I currently help my other family members walk and feed their dogs when I am home. I am currently in school for occupational therapy, so Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am not available until the evening after my classes. I also have another job that I work in the mornings on the weekends. My apartment has a small fenced in area, plenty of places to walk, and an unfenced front yard. I currently have no pets of my own, so I can easily accommodate!
“Kartik regularly provides our k9's with first class care at a very reasonable cost. Not only is he professional and well trusted but he is also pleasant and enjoyable to communicate with. We have every intention of continuing our ongoing Rover relationship with Kartik for the foreseeable future.”
About: Hello! I have been pet sitting over 15 years. I have worked professionally in animal care as a veterinary assistant, and I have experience working in animal shelters. I am qualified and ready to meet any specific needs your pet may have, and I know how to handle emergencies. I am knowledgeable about different training approaches and techniques. I am available weekends, even late at night! I work a part-time night shift job. The shift is 7 hours long, 2-3 nights during the week. I am new to Rover, but not new to petsitting! I've been doing it part time since I was 12. I have been successful on some other petsitting apps, as well. People trust me in their homes and with their beloved family members because of my honesty and consistency. I respect all animals big and small, of all ages, although I admit to having a special place in my heart for the seniors!
