“Sarah is amazing! Highly recommend! I asked for a last minute dog walk for our puppy and she did a great job with him. He’s also really wild- she took lots of photos and keep me posted on his wild shenanigans. I will book her again and again!”

About: As a passionate and experienced pet sitter, I bring a unique blend of reliability, empathy, and expertise to every pet I care for. I understand that your pet is a beloved member of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention as I would my own. With a strong background in pet care, from managing feeding schedules to providing mental and physical stimulation, I ensure each pet’s needs are fully met. My flexible approach allows me to adapt to different temperaments and requirements, whether for a high-energy pup, a shy cat, or a pet needing special care. Choosing me means peace of mind for you and a safe, joyful experience for your pet—because their happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, thoughtfully woven into each part of my day to ensure that every pet I look after receives the attention and care they deserve. My mornings begin with feedings, refreshing water bowls, and a bit of playtime to start each pet’s day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I check in regularly to ensure their needs are met, adjusting my schedule for specific care requirements like medication, exercise, or one-on-one attention. Evening routines often include another feeding, a final check-in, and a cozy wind-down to help them feel safe and secure before bedtime. This routine isn’t just about tasks; it’s about creating a steady rhythm that pets find comforting, reinforcing a bond of trust and familiarity with each pet in my care. When caring for pets in my home or while pet sitting in another person’s home, I prioritize creating a familiar, comforting environment tailored to each animal’s needs. At home, I maintain a designated pet-friendly area stocked with essentials like food, toys, and a cozy rest space, ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed. In a client's home, I adhere to the pet’s established routines and preferences, whether it’s feeding schedules, walking times, or play habits, to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I’m vigilant about safety, cleanliness, and any specific care instructions provided by the pet’s owner, adapting to each pet’s unique personality—whether that means extra play for an energetic pup or gentle companionship for a shy cat. This approach allows pets to feel loved and cared for in a setting that feels just like home, whether it’s mine or theirs.

“I had a last minute need for a dog walker Kyani was available and met us same day so she could walk her the next day. She was very caring and great with my dog!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them daily. I’ve raised a puppy and currently have a well-trained dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time but am available most days during the week and can be flexible with scheduling as needed for pet care and walks. I prioritize safety and trust in every visit. I follow owner instructions closely, keep dogs on-leash during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are never left unattended. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been more than pets—they’ve been family. Growing up as an only child, my dog was my best friend, and I took on the responsibility of crate and potty training him. I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, including a pit bull, and I understand their unique needs. I also have some experience with puppies and love learning about their specific care requirements. Whether it’s keeping up with their energy, helping with training, or providing plenty of affection, I’m ready to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me complete flexibility to care for your pet. Whether you need daytime, evening, or even last-minute walks or sitting, I’m fully available to meet your needs. I believe that caring for pets in their home environment is the best way to ensure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. Being in a familiar space reduces stress and helps pets maintain their routine, which is essential for their well-being. I’m dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment wherever I care for them, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply providing companionship, I take the time to learn each pet’s needs and preferences. I understand how important it is for pets to feel loved and cared for while their owners are away.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two college students, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. As a flexible part-time worker, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions with care and attention to detail—just as I would for my own pets. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: My pet care experience includes not only caretaking for my own dog and family friend's dogs over the years, but I also worked for a pet boarding and daycare facility for 2 years. This exposed me to knowledge about dog behavior, caretaking, playtime, and important details like specific needs of medicine and feeding methods for each dog in the facility of roughly 130 dogs. Additionally, my pup Bella has had a lifelong experience of many diagnoses such as mega-esophagus, acid reflux, and environmental allergies which have all required very specific feedings and medicines for her. Safe to say after all of these formative experiences, I'm very attentive to all specifics that your pup needs while you are away and happy to do it!! I'm a lifelong animal lover and I love to treat my pup like royalty (as shown in my pictures), because she is one of the most important things in my life. I will treat your pup with the same love and care as my own because they deserve it <3 I'm currently job searching for an additional part-time role to do with Rover, so my availability is pretty open right now for dog walking, dog sitting, etc. Before I do any caretaking for your dog, I do require meeting the dog(s) with the owner present on a separate day to make sure the dog is familiar and comfortable with me before I come over to take care of the dog(s). When I come over to your house to either walk or dog sit, I will first make sure I read all instructions carefully for what the pet owner wants & needs for their pup. Then, I will walk/dog-sit with them and send you some pictures of your pet to give you updates on how they are doing. I love it when people send me pictures/updates while I'm away from my dog, because it makes me feel secure knowing they are living well. Please let me know if you would like this or prefer not. Lastly, I will give them some pets and cuddles as desired and some play time so they have some enrichment time while I'm over. And of course, will make sure to lock up the house as instructed by the pet owner.

About: I care for pets with a calm, patient, and low-pressure approach. I live with one dog and two cats, and have multiple years of experience caring for sick and senior dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with different personalities and multi-pet routines. I’m especially comfortable with shy or sensitive pets and focus on building trust at their pace. I pay close attention to body language and behavior. I’m currently taking dog training classes, which helps me better understand dogs and provide thoughtful, positive care. I’m currently a fully remote artist, so I will be at home the whole day. Which also means plenty of walking and playing times for your babies <3 I have two friendly cats to keep your babies accompanied (can also quarantine them if they are shy). I’m very experienced and will be at home the whole day to take care of your furry kids.

About: Your Experience: I grew up in a home with three dogs, a Saint Bernard, a German Shepherd, and a Mudi. As well as four cats, so I’ve always been comfortable around animals of all sizes and personalities. Although my family pets live back home and not with me in St. Louis, I’ve spent years helping care for them through walks, feeding, playtime, and daily care. I’m dependable, patient, and active, and I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they need. Whether it’s a quick walk or a chance to burn off some energy, I’ll treat your pet like my own! Monday–Friday: Available after 4:40 PM. Saturday–Sunday: Available all day. My work schedule can occasionally vary due to events, but I am typically off between 4:00–4:30 PM on weekdays. I’ve pet sat many times for friends and family, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in someone else’s home and following the routine they’re used to. I also grew up with three very different dogs: a Saint Bernard, German Shepherd, and Mudi, as well as four cats, so I have experience with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. When walking or caring for someone’s pet, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while always keeping their safety in mind. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, or routines, and I’m always respectful of a client’s home. My family pets do not live with me in St. Louis, so there would never be any interaction between them and a client’s pets.

About: I’ve taken care and been around cats and dogs since I was a child. I understand our fur babies require play time and so much love! I am currently actively applying to jobs as a social worker, and have a lot of free time throughout my days as I am staying home with my fur babies while I do so! I take my doggies on a walk, take treats with me and poop bags to ensure they get rewarded for being good babies and cleaning up after them. If we’re going to a park, I make sure they have toys, water and get their sniffs in!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and caring for pets has become more than just my job it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve also cared for the pets of family members and friends. I currently work full-time as a Certified Veterinary Assistant, but I am available for pet care before and after work, as well as on select days off. My work experience allows me to provide knowledgeable and attentive care while maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I prefer caring for pets in their own home because they’re most comfortable in a familiar environment with their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and enrichment while you’re away.

About: Hi! Thanks for looking at my profile. I’m Karah. I first began pet/house sitting when I was living in Ecuador in 2012. I am well practiced with dogs of all sizes, cats of many temperaments, and critters ranging from fishes to bearded dragons. I am currently working part time at a craft store. As such I can be with your critters for most of the day. Everyone will be well looked after and let out, walked, given specific care, et al. Quite frequently. I am not able to keep pets in my own home. I have my own two dogs and a cat who claims his own space.

About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me

“This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so your pets will be cared for like they’re my own. I’m currently in nursing school, but my summer schedule is very manageable and gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. I only have class Monday and Tuesday mornings and Fridays during the day, so I’m very available throughout the rest of the week for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and spending quality time with pets. Outside of class, most of my time is spent studying or doing homework, which allows me to have a flexible routine and dedicate a lot of attention and care to the pets I’m watching. I will offer both drop-in visits and overnight stays in my clients’ homes to help pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible while their owners are away. Since I have a very flexible schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with your pets rather than just stopping by quickly. I truly enjoy caring for animals and will make sure they receive lots of attention, playtime, love, and consistent care so they feel safe and comfortable in their normal environment.

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.

About: I grew up with pets, I have house sat and pet sat since I was 13 and I am the proud mother of a cat. I currently work 3 12 hour shifts per week so I have a lot of open availability which varries week to week, which leaves a lot of free time to care for your pet! I have house sat, babysat, and looked after animals since I was in high school. I am very clean and am an animal loving person. I feel most comfortable in a clean environment. While I will not offer services in my own home ( I am not sure how my cat will interact with your pet) you can rest assured I will treat your home with the care and love of my own.

“Rebekah was great with Nialls and Charlie. She walked them for me weekdays while I was house sitting (rain or shine). I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
