About: I started walking my neighbors dogs when I was 10. I have always had at least two dogs in my home growing up, and have experience walking, feeding, and bathing all types and ages of dogs. I have experience with senior dogs and love walking and relaxing with all kinds of pets! I am a graduate student, so my schedule is rather flexible. I have availability some weekends. I have my own car and try to be flexible 😊 please reach out! I love to go for walks and talking care of your pet would be a pleasure. The care I provide for pets depends on the needs of the specific pet. I walk dogs on leash and have experience staying in others homes and caring for their dog as requested. I also have experience feeding, administering medicine, and crating as necessary. I am very respectful of other people’s spaces and always am clean.
About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For the past several years, family members, neighbors, and friends in the St. Louis area have trusted me to check in on their dogs, feed them, play with them, stay overnight when needed, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m kind, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities. Whether they want a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or just calm company. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently searching for full time employment so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups! There are occasional weekends where I have family things to attend but please reach out and ask! I have pretty open availability. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I’m happy to provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. I also treat every client’s home with respect and care, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as instructed.
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat. I was out of town for a few days and needed someone to check in on my cat while I was gone. Jennifer was quick with her communications, friendly, caring, and easy to work with. I'm very happy with the experience and would definitely ask her to look after my cat again!”

“Maddy did a great job with Fritz! I was so thankful that she kept coming back when we had an issue with a jammed lock on the first day and Fritz was obviously so happy to see her. Fritz’s new medications are a lot for him to get used to, so I’m so glad to have found someone who could give them to him.”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11! I would watch my neighbors cats and dogs when they were away. Additionally I have two years experience working at a DoggyDaycare and Aquatic Center! I am going into my first year of Law School so will have class during the week! However can definitely make time for morning or evening walks! Having worked at an official daycare for two years I understand the importance of keeping an eye on dogs to make sure no mischief occurs and that they are safe! They won’t go anywhere outside off leash and I can guarantee I won’t have anything not dog or cat friendly out in my apartment
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”

About: As a graduate student in social work, patience, communication, and building trust are values I practice every day. I bring that same calm, dependable approach to pet care by respecting each pet’s routine, paying attention to the little details, and making sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and complete peace of mind. I am currently completing my graduate practicum during weekday mornings, which gives me flexibility in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends for pet care. I prioritize keeping a reliable schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets thrive when they’re able to stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to provide care that’s consistent, calm, and tailored to their individual needs. Whether that means following a feeding schedule, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications (if needed and instructed), going for walks, or spending quality time playing and keeping them company, I am happy to adapt to what makes your pet feel most comfortable.
“Hayley was the first Rover sitter I’ve used to check in on my kitties. She communicated with me so well about my cats needs as well as sending many pics while she was there playing with them/ giving attention. I’d definitely recommend Hayley if you’re looking for a great and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I have been house/pet sitting for the last few years on my own but I'm trying to expand my client base and meet new furry friends! I also have lots of experience with cats! A large portion of my clients prefer overnight stays but I am willing to do drop ins as well. I'd love to hear from you soon. I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!

About: I have cared for pets throughout my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ducks, and cockatiels. While I am allergic to cats, I love them and keep cat food available for the neighborhood strays. I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors and am comfortable meeting your pet at whatever stage of life they are in. I will provide you with updates on how your pet is doing at least once a day, including a photo and a message. Of course, you are also welcome to check in at any time. Please rest assured, your pet will be well taken care of and living their best life. I work in marketing for the pet industry, which enables me to work from home and maintain a flexible schedule. I am a morning person, so taking a walk in the morning is often more enjoyable for me than for the dogs. I strive to be attentive to the well-being of pets both inside and outside, focusing on their nutrition, training, socialization, and overall care. I have two 10-lb Goldendoodles, Pepita and Miso, who are very social and have a nurturing yet playful spirit. We prefer to care for one dog at a time, as we believe this provides a better experience for both the pet and the owner. Our goal is to prioritize the best interests of your pet, recognizing that each pet has unique needs and requires individual attention and care while their loved ones are away.
“First time using Rover and we feel like we hit the jackpot with Sam and Chris! On time, took care of food, litter box, water AND stayed to play with our four kitties - we couldn't have asked for better service. The updates with photos and videos not only gave us peace of mind but also plenty of laughs. Highly recommend those two and hope to be able to utilize their excellent service again in the future.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I dog sit regularly for friends and family, and do so because I love animals so much! Friends and family rely on me to walk, feed and love their animals for up to a week or so at times. This varies between dog and cat sitting at my home or house sitting at their home. Ages of pets range between 10 week old puppies and kittens to 10 year old dogs and cats. I have the extreme luxury of working from home Monday-Friday. With my schedule, I try to go for a walk everyday, so why not bring a dog with me?! I am in the St. Louis area most weekends and am able to accommodate weekend boardings as well. I have a 2 bedroom home and a fenced in backyard with a back door to easily let pets in and out. I am a huge animal lover!
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a kid. Today, I still have two family dogs and two cats that I absolutely adore. One of my favorite things to do is get outside and exercise, so if your dog loves long walks, runs, or adventures, I’m always happy to help them burn off some energy! I’m very comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved! Schedule I work from home with a very flexible schedule during the week, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My family dogs and cats stay at my parents so I don’t have any pets in my apartment.
About: Hi! I'm Claire, and I'd love to care for your pets like they're my own. I was trained through the Fayetteville Animal Shelter to walk and care for dogs, and I spent many hours volunteering there. During college, I boarded dogs through Rover for three years, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with a high-energy yellow Lab named Covey, who sparked my lifelong love of dogs. We spent countless hours going on walks and playing outside. Today, I have a cat who somehow thinks he's a dog after being raised around one! I'm an active person who genuinely misses having a dog around, so I'd love the opportunity to give your pup the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I'll make sure your pet is well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident they're in good hands. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I'll treat yours with the same care, patience, and love I'd want for my own. I currently work full-time, and I would be happy to walk your dog anytime after 4:30pm. I do not mind long walks or even runs at all! Your pet’s safety comes first. I'll use safe walking routes, stay alert, and I will provide plenty of care, attention, and water as needed. :)
About: Before I became an expert at keeping my 9-year-old on a schedule, I was already mastering the art of happy pets! As a lifelong animal lover and mom to a pet-obsessed kiddo, I know that routines, patience, and lots of love go a long way. I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years and have also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for just as long. I have an awesome and chill Tuxedo cat named Mittens who tends to get along which pretty much any other animal. Whether your pet loves zoomies, snuggles, bird watching from the window, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, belly rubs (if they’re into that!), and all the care they deserve. Every pet has their own personality, quirks, and preferences, and I love getting to know what makes them feel safe and happy. If your furry family member has any special accommodations, routines, or favorite toys, just let me know! My goal is to make sure they have a fun, comfortable stay while giving you complete peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work part-time, which allows me to have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets. I love creating a calm routine with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding Friday through Sunday and am happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s needs and schedule are accommodated. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while they’re with me. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a calm, clean, smoke-free, two-bedroom apartment where pets can relax and feel at home. I do my best to create a low-stress environment and will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I live near a park, so dogs staying with us can enjoy regular walks, fresh air, and plenty of opportunities to explore. For cats, I’ll make sure they have a peaceful environment, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention at their own pace. I’m also a mom to a wonderful 9-year-old who absolutely loves animals. She’s gentle, respectful, and never gets tired of playing or giving extra love to pets who enjoy human interaction. Of course, if your pet prefers quiet time or their own space, we always respect their boundaries and personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’m happy to accommodate their unique needs to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay.
“Reba went above and beyond to take care of my kitty over the holidays. She sent photos and updates every day, and I felt totally at ease while I was away knowing my cat was in such good hands. I couldn't recommend Reba more highly and look forward to booking her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Heights
Katie is amazing with my pets! She takes time to play with them every time she visits. I have a senior diabetic dog, and she works her magic and gets him to eat every time. She gives him his insulin shot, and I know he’s in great hands. It’s hard for me to find people who my senior dog will warm up to, and let them give him his injection. She does an amazing job taking care of him. She gives my dogs so much love and I appreciate her communication and report cards and photos! I can’t recommend her enough!

Emma was wonderful with both of our dogs while we were away. She communicated clearly throughout and sent multiple photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our 6 month old puppy and 10 year old dog were happy and well cared for. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Emily is hands down the absolute best! I was stranded out of town for three extra days due to many, many flight cancellations. Every time I messaged her to ask if she could care for Blake another day she happily agreed! Blake (my senior dog) loves when she’s there and I love it too because I don’t have to worry one bit knowing Blake is safe and happy. I cannot thank her enough for what she does.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Richmond Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Richmond Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
