“Jamie and Aaron were amazing!! Max had the best time and I think he was sad to leave. They provided pictures and video while he was there. Will definitely use them in future!!”

“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”

“Kelly and her family were super great with Xena and Bob! My pups were loved on and well cared for and Kelly was super sweet sending up pics daily! Loved that our pups were happy and loved on our vacation!!!! Thanks Kelly!!!”

“Our pit was so happy and calm after a week with Nicole; it felt less like boarding and more like leaving family with family. We are very glad to have found such a safe and comfy home away from home.”
About: More than just feeding and walks, I focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Skilled with maintaining routines, giving extra one on one attention, and creating a calm home environment. I’m retired and absolutely love animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and I’d love to help out. I’m available any day of the week. I have a privacy fenced yard. I have a small terrier mix who’s ten that gets along with any dog. She’s getting older and can’t see very well. I could do whatever makes you feel comfortable as far as your dog being around her.
“Both our senior dog with medical needs and our younger dog LOVE to visit Christina! They happily walk in when we drop off which is a big change from previous boarding places. So glad we found Christina! It is such a weight off our shoulders when traveling knowing that our dogs are comfortable and in good hands.”


“Ebony was amazing. She watched my baby boy for 3 nights and 4 days. Our initial meet and greet went very well. She asked great questions and I felt really comfortable with my boy staying with her. Once he arrived for his weekend. Ebony kept me updated with tons of pictures and texts. I really appreciated the open communication. I would definitely recommend using her for your pet sitting needs. ?”

“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

“Our dogs enjoyed their stay and we greatly appreciated the updates given throughout! Our dog Oscar can be a little fear aggressive with strangers and he was at ease right away.”

“Cynthia took great care of our dog! She was so kind and easy to communicate with for booking and during our dog’s stay. I felt comfortable leaving our dog and knew he was in good hands. She sent picture and video updates as well. Thank you so much, Cynthia!!”

“Mary was wonderful taking care of our Stella for 2 whole weeks while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with messages and photos and was quick to respond to our messages while we were out of the country. Thanks so much Mary! ??”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me
About: Hi! My name is Maria and I live in St. Louis with my dog, Aviva. I love animals and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal pet ownership as well as petsitting for others. I enjoy providing pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am an experienced pet and house sitter with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets and animals with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery, and providing post-operative care following surgeries and medical procedures. As a dog owner myself, I walk 3–5 miles daily and am happy to accommodate pets that require longer walks and higher activity levels. I also have experience handling large dogs and managing a variety of temperaments, including reactive pets, as my own dog is a 70-pound reactive dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a remote worker, I enjoy having a reason to get out of the house and stay active. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for drop in visits, potty breaks, feedings, and walks during the workday, while also having longer blocks of time available in the mornings before work and in the evenings after work. I walk several miles a day with my own dog, so regular walks and exercise are already an important part of my routine. I always tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and their owner's routine. Whether I am caring for pets in my client's home or providing drop in visits and walks, I prioritize keeping their schedule as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, administering medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise, enrichment, and bathroom breaks. For cats, I focus on maintaining a clean litter box and respecting each cat's comfort level and personality.
“Leah took excellent care of my cat and regularly provided updates, including photos and videos. She was very accommodating, and I was extremely happy with her service.”

“Jennifer was great. I received several pictures and updates while I was away. She made leaving my puppy for the first time a lot less stressful and I will continue to book her in the future!”

“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”

Pontoon Beach dog parents share their Rover experiences
Joyce and her husband watched our Bailey for three weeks. We were nervous leaving her for that long. With the pictures and communication they sent we were soon at ease. We know she was well kept and happy during her stay. She was happy to see us sure but we could tell she loves them too. We will definitely use their services again. If we could give them more than five stars we would.

Our family found ourselves in a last minute jam and needed someone to watch our four dogs, including two larger Husky breeds, overnight going into the weekend. Ellie agreed, thankfully lived near us, and we worked out a good arrangement that took extra stress off of an already very stressful situation. She sent photos regularly so that we could see how the gang was getting along, and she even picked them up and dropped them off, which was a lifesaver!
