“Eleanor was very responsible and our family felt like she was taking care of our dogs well. We got photos of them every day we were away. She was great about responding and getting in touch with any questions or concerns in a timely matter. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”


“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!!!”


“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!”


“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!”


“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”


About: Are you looking for help walking your dog or checking in on them while you are away at work on vacation? Let me help you! I love all animals and breeds. I am gentle, attentive, and fun! I have owned dogs and cats all my life and I am very comfortable with them. I will pay attention to your pets body language to make sure that they are comfortable and happy. I will follow your instructions for your pet closely. I have shadowing and volunteering experience with veterinarians and animal shelters. Are you unsure? We can find a time for you, your pet, and myself to meetup and see if we are a good fit. Need more immediate service? That is okay too! Let’s see if we can work together! I am a student and employed part time. I am mostly interested in walking and drop ins. I am upfront about my availability and let you know when I can or cannot do a service. I am extremely friendly to all pets. I am also very active which makes me a great companion for a walk (your dogs favorite word). I am respectful to peoples homes and any more instructions that you have more me are appreciated.

About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!


“Chandra is the best. She was always on time and took great care of my Sadie. She even took care of my garden. Will definitely be booking her again in the near future.”


“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!”


About: I've been volunteering with my local animal shelters for the past 5 years, serving as both a short- and long-term foster parent. This has given me experience managing dogs with a very wide array of behavior and temperament ranging from extremely well-trained to pretty much feral! I love it. Before that, I was the go-to pet and house sitter in my neighborhood as a teenager for dog and cat (and plant) families. I'm currently doing part time work from home on my own schedule, so I am very flexible as to when I can accept clients - weekends, weekdays, overnight all work. Since I am currently renting I cannot look after other people's pets at my own place, but I am open to going most places in the Saint Louis region! Depending on your distance from me and frequency of care, I can either stay at your place or commute each time.

“Greeshma is amazing! She was super responsive and made us feel that our cat was being taken care of. I would highly recommend her for cat sitting and will definitely hire her again in the future!”

“Megan is amazing! She was very accommodating and flexible! Fast response time and my dog Ruby loves her! I would highly recommend Megan and we will definately be having her over again!”


“This was my second time having Brooke take care of my cats and she was incredible. Reliable, communicative, engaging, and so sweet. Gave me great updates and photos daily which makes it easier to be away from them! My cats are seniors and both have med regimens and I had such peace of mind knowing Brooke was caring for them. I will be using her services forever!!! 💚”


“Abby was great! She came and checked in/walked our puppy for a couple days. Our pup seemed to love her and she took her on a nice long walk each day. She also sent lots of pictures and a video which was great!”


“Mia really went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were well cared for and sent me lots of videos, photos, and positive commentaries on how they were doing. I will definitely be booking Mia for all my petsitting needs!”


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.

“David was a godsend for checking in on my Perry on Christmas Eve. I'm sure Perry enjoyed his visit especially the one on one attention. I would definitely recommend David and would hire him again when the opportunity arises.”


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. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m excited to bring that same care and attention to your dog! I’m a college student living in St. Louis for the summer with a very flexible schedule. I genuinely love caring for all animals and am available to start right away! I always make sure pets in my care feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I now have a friendly, 1-year-old spayed female dog who gets along well with others. I provide a calm, quiet environment and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Pets in my home will get individual attention, and I’ll ensure they feel comfortable and cared for.

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!

“Olivia was awesome! We were so worried taking off a week during July 4th because everyone on Rover was also out of town, but Olivia made accommodations to take care of our two kittens while we were away. She was very patient and caring with our kittens, Luna and Horang. She also provided daily photos and sent me status updates on how they were doing. Thank you so much Olivia!”

“Alex was great with my dog, Karma. He loved to take her on walks and teach her new tricks. He’s extremely patient with animals and I would definitely recommend, Alex.”


Caroline K.
“I could not be happier with my Rover dog walker, Caroline! I have two large dogs (Saint Bernard and Labrador Retriever) and finding someone who can handle both of them confidently was a challenge. From the very first meet and greet, I knew I was in great hands. Caroline was punctual, professional and clearly experienced with big dog breeds. Every walk is a highlight for my dogs. They come back happy, tired, and well-exercised, which is no small feat given their size and energy levels! I also love the updates and photos she sends after each walk - it's such a reassuring touch. Highly recommend Caroline for anyone with dogs who needs reliable, loving care!”

Penrose Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abby is the best. She’s been watching our cats when we’re out of town for a few years. We know they’re always in great hands.

Super communicative and very reassuring upon meeting. Plenty of experience with their own pets so you can rest assured yours will be in great hands. Absolutely recommend.

She always goes above and beyond to take care of our kitties—we're so grateful for her care and attention.

Lisa did great job taking care of my puppies!. She followed all the instructions and gave them extra love, daily cuddles and special care at the time of thunderstorm, just to make sure they were comfortable. I came home to calm, well taken care of dogs, her love and attention is greatly appreciated!

Kylie is AMAZING!! My cat looked forward to each visit. Kylie is a great communicator and goes above and beyond for my kitty.

Kiwi is just amazing! She took great care of my cat for over a month and was super responsive and considerate the whole time. She also went out of her way to vacuum the area around the litter box during each drop-in visit. Please definitely consider Kiwi if you are looking for someone that’s caring, dependable, and knowledgeable!

Alex did an amazing job taking care of my two cats for 10 days! He kept us updated with photos, maintained their routine perfectly, and won the love of our kitties. I would definitely call him back and recommend him! :D
