“Jeena had been the most amazing cat sitter. I have an anxiety-monkey cat who needs to be fed at very specific times, and Jeena has always fed them on the dot. She is incredibly communicative and responsive, checking in with me at each meal as requested. Jeena also leaves my apartment in pristine condition and with everything exactly as I left it—even though she stays overnight as needed with my kitties. Every time I have come home, the litter has been immaculately clean, as has been the garbage and the rest of the apartment. My cats also tell me that Jeena has been incredibly sweet and caring towards them, as is obvious by their demeanor when I return. Love the pictures of cuddling with the cats that put my mind at ease about leaving them with a sitter, thank you Jeena!”


“Haley was wonderful with Piper! She followed all pipers instructions and schedules, and left our home even cleaner than when we left! She even stayed late on the last day when our flight was delayed due to bad weather so Piper wouldn’t be alone. Would highly recommend!”


“Autumn did such a wonderful job with our pup! We recently rescued her and she can be very anxious with strangers, but she warmed up quickly to Autumn. We were worried leaving her at home for the first time but were quickly reassured by the photos and updates Autumn sent. 10/10 would recommend her!”


“Erica was fantastic. She kept in touch with us frequently with photos for an update on how our pets were doing. She even mentioned the neighborhood pets met on her frequent dog walks. That put our mind at ease while we were away on a 4 day trip. Erica took great care of our Poodle mix, Pepper and our cat Lily. We really appreciated the report card and welcome home by our happy relaxed pet family, when we returned home. It was very obvious that our pets enjoyed her! From her initial meet and greet before our trip to the farewell, our home was well cared for as well as our pets. We were so impressed by her care. We will definitely request to have Erica come back the next time.”


“I had Tori stay with my three cats - two of whom aren’t integrated with the third. She paid attention to my directions about that and was in contact a lot during the weekend. I really appreciated her attention to detail and willingness to give my girls cuddles. And she cleaned up after herself. Definitely recommend.”


“Asia is a wonderful sitter. She kept Cooper for an extended period for me and was very flexible with scheduling. She has extensive experience with dogs and can read cues and knows how to give them space if needed, especially for my anxious pup. I came home to a clean house and living plants too :) I will definitely be rebooking with Asia when I can in the future. Thank you so much!”


About: Being able to help pet owners care for and love their pets is such an enjoyable experience. I'm comfortable with cats of all different personalities, sassy, shy or snuggly, I'm also experienced with dogs who are anxious, shy or full of energy. I provide regular updates so you can be at ease while you're away. I have a very calm and patient approach and tailor my care to each pet's different needs. I'm consistent and don't just show up. I try to understand your pets routines and preferences. I am working on finishing my degree which I do mostly from home. My schedule is very flexible. I am home most of the time which gives me more to time to spend with your pets! I am an active person and try to get in as much exercise as I can, I would love to take your pet on a walk/jog with me! That being said, one of my favorite ways to unwind is cuddling up with a pet and book in hand! I adjust to each pet's energy levels and what they need, whether that's exercise or some snuggles. Your trust and pet's safety are both incredibly important to me. I treat your home with care and honor your pet’s routines, always striving to provide a loving, familiar environment.

“Julia is amazing!! She’s kind, reliable, and so easy to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dogs with her, and when we got back, they were happy and well cared for. We can’t wait to have her back. Five stars all the way—highly recommend!!!”


“Met Carolyn at a nearby park several weeks before the booking. She made me feel at ease with her being in my home with my yorkie. This was my first booking and I will be using her again in the future. She took great care of my home and my dog while I was gone. I was able to have peace of mind while traveling.”


“Another wonderful experience with D’Andra! She takes such good care of our pets. We appreciate all the pictures and the open communication. Highly recommend her for peace of mind when traveling.”


“Megan was absolutely great house sitting with my dog, Sally! She was very communicative and sent me lots of pics which I loved. Would definitely book her again 😊”


About: I've been taking care of pets, mostly cats, for the past 3–4 years. This includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing companionship. I’ve also administered medication to my own cat, so I understand the patience and care needed for pets with special needs. I love getting to know each pet I meet, understanding their unique personalities, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care! I’m available for drop-ins weekdays before and after work, as well as around lunchtime. I’m also available for house sitting most days with advanced notice. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care by ensuring they are always supervised and secure. I carefully follow owners' instructions and maintain clear communication. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs.

“Max was extremely patient and attentive with our senior dog. He left the house clean and Jeffrey was a happy boy when we got home - accident-free! Thanks for keeping Jeffrey calm and relaxed. :)”


About: I've always loved animals. I have a zoo at my house with 3 cats, a puppy, a bunny, and a turtle. Playing with all of them is the highlight of my day. I've been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I've even trained a few of their dogs. Dogs are my favorite animal but I like cats as well. If it's ok with you I will bring my own all natural treats to share with your fur babies. If you allow me to watch your dogs, you won't have to worry about me leaving you with a mess. I always leave a space better than how I found it. If I stay overnight for multiple nights I will also walk your dogs. I do have a full time job but will spend as much time as possible with your babies. I typically have evenings and weekends free I will treat your pets the way you do and ensure every safety measure possible is met. I'll make sure to follow any and all instructions you provide.


About: I have spent two decades pet sitting cats and dogs. In particular, I've given medications (including insulin, pills and liquids) and have a lot of experience with senior pets. Overall, I just want your pet to feel safe and loved. I work part time so that I have time to dedicate to pet sitting. I make sure that your pet is my priority when they're under my care. Each situation is unique and I learn what makes your pet feel safest and most secure. I learn their routines and make sure to follow instructions. That way the transition is easiest for them.

About: My whole life, I've provided care and love to a series of five lovable golden retrievers and numerous other dogs. I've promoted their health through frequent walks and exercise, given comfort to them through play and cuddles, and have paid the utmost attention to their needs. I taught one of my family's current goldens to obey commands when he was a puppy and helped the other to overcome his fear of swimming through gentle encouragement and coaxing. I will provide all this experience to ensure your dogs enjoy their time! I'm currently a PhD student at WashU and so have the majority of my availability in the evenings and weekends. Weekends are best, especially considering the rigors of the school year. My philosophy with pet care is to be gentle but fair. I will go along with the pet's needs for the majority of the time and encourage their development through correction of their behaviors, when necessary. This correction will be done through verbal warnings just strong enough to get the message across, without being overly hostile.

She took care of all four of my cats and house-sat for an entire week, and texted me with regular updates and pictures. It was such a relief to know that my cats were in good hands!

Chloe F.
“Chloe has done a wonderful job of taking care of our dog and 2 cats! Our setup can be particularly difficult to navigate, since the dog and cats don't get along, and so they need to be cared for separately. But Chloe has always made sure their needs are met, and beyond that, she engages our animals while we're away so that they receive affection and attention beyond the basics. Highly recommend Chloe to anyone who is looking!”




Whitney V.
“Whitney is wonderful! She has a love for animals and they can sense it. She has watched our multiple fur babies many times. We are lucky to have found her!!!”


Jacob H.
“Jacob took excellent care of our dog. She has very specific needs and is quite quirky, but he handled her with such love and patience. We will definitely be rebooking with him!”
Richmond Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eleanor stayed with my Pom for a week while I was out of the country, and she was fantastic! I came home to a happy doggie and a neat and tidy place. Eleanor sent regular updates and pics through the week so I didn’t worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!

Laura is superb and amazing! She went over and above in all areas. Perry liked her very much and he was so well taken care of. Communication was frequent and thorough, sending pics and updates. Came home to am immaculate house. I can't say enough good things about her! She is even going to stay on and walk Perry twice a week. I would have her back to petsit in a heartbeat .

laryn took great care of my dog and my home while I was out of town. I had never had someone I did not know stay at my place while I wasn’t there, and I felt very comfortable. my dog seemed happy and cared for while I was gone, and she was communicative with updates. would definitely recommend her and would have her watch my dog again!

Erica was fantastic. She kept in touch with us frequently with photos for an update on how our pets were doing. She even mentioned the neighborhood pets met on her frequent dog walks. That put our mind at ease while we were away on a 4 day trip. Erica took great care of our Poodle mix, Pepper and our cat Lily.

From her initial meet and greet before our trip to the farewell, our home was well cared for as well as our pets. We were so impressed by her care. We will definitely request to have Erica come back the next time.

Devon made my the time away from my dog very easy & enjoyable. I was away for a week and I usually have anxiety when leaving my dog, but I had no concerns as I could tell he was in good hands. Would recommend to anyone who wants to have a stress free time away from their pet.

We ended up hiring Olivia at the last minute to watch our Australian Cattle Dog and three cats for the weekend. She was awesome! She kept in touch while we were gone, made sure everyone was taken care of, and left the house just how we left it. I even told her not to worry about the litter boxes, but she did them anyway. Little things like that say a lot. We’d definitely bring her back next time we need someone and highly recommend her!

Amy is the best! She was very loving and attentive to our dog. I could tell she had great repertoire with dogs upon her meet and greet. Sequoia was super comfortable with Amy and Amy got our pup’s personality right away. She sent great updates and check ins during our time away. I would absolutely book her services again.

Second time working with Denita and am feeling so touched by the care and attention she's given my old dog! My senior requires a special kind of patience and the pictures she sent me this week with her daily updates let me know she's giving him lots of time and space to just chill around her. Denita, you have my highest recommendation - thank you for all of your help!!
