“This is the 1st time I utilized this service and I am Very happy. After numerous years of uncertainty with tending to 4-legged loved ones, I feel pleased with Rover.com and will gladly be a return customer. A special thanks to Theresa for seeing my pets while I was gone. Theresa has been great & I'd love to request her again in the future if possible. Thank you, Don Harris”

“Maddison did amazing with our doggies. The dogs were afraid at first, but she was able to earn the trust of our doggies by the end of the first visit. Our dogs opened up to her on her next visits. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Maddison was taking good care of our dogs. We are definitely booking her again on our next trip.”

“Gabby was fantastic! We are so happy to find a pet sitter for ourselves as we are usually doing the dog sitting. We've been afraid to leave town without the pups since we moved here and we're confident that Gabby will always do a great job!”

About: I’ve taken care of 3 dogs at once on multiple occasions. I currently have 2 dogs at home that I grew up with that are around 12 years old while the other is only 3 years old. I also currently have 2 of my own dogs that are 1 year old and 5 months old. I have some experience with puppy training as I’m currently in the puppy phase with my own. I just graduated and am trying to pass my certification test so I currently don’t have a job but I am looking around. I am free most, if not all, weekends and weekdays. I love dogs so I like to give them love and cuddles as well as some play time like tug-of-war, throwing a ball, or even play dates with my puppies.

“Cassie and Victor did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation. It was great to get daily updates and photos of how she’s doing. I’m glad I found someone I can trust to look out for her.”

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way. I grew up with both cats and extra-large dog breeds like Newfoundlands and Labs, and now I share my life with two of my own—a sweet GS/Heeler mix named Cinder ❤️ and a lovable cat who keeps us both in check. I’ve been pet sitting since middle school, and I’m the go-to pet person for friends and coworkers. I’m also a passionate animal advocate, and I always aim to treat every pet like they’re my own. Currently, I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. Whether your pup needs an energy-burning walk or your cat just needs some company and a clean litter box, I’m happy to help! I genuinely enjoy being outdoors and connecting with animals of all kinds. I have experience with: • Large and giant breed dogs (Labs, Newfoundlands, German Shepherds, etc.) • Reactive dogs and leash-sensitive pups • Senior pets, medication routines, and special care needs • Cats, including shy or picky personalities Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a long walk, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for. ⸻ Helpful Info to Share With Me To give your pet the best care possible, please let me know: • Any medical conditions or physical limitations • Behavioral quirks (especially on walks or with new people) • Triggers, fears, or specific routines that help them feel safe Thanks so much—I’d love the chance to meet your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I dedicate time to feeding, exercising, and playing with pets to keep them happy and healthy. I also set aside regular blocks of time for grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I make sure to create a consistent, caring environment that meets each pet’s unique needs. When I provide walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort above all else. During walks, I keep pets securely leashed and stay aware of their surroundings to avoid any hazards. For drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain a familiar and calm environment, making sure pets get the care, attention, and companionship they need while their family is away. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me, so I communicate openly and respect each pet’s individual personality and needs.

“Diane is wonderful! We booked her for multiple drop-ins for our two pups and she was extremely communicative and professional. She sent great pictures from her visits and it was reassuring to see our pups getting so much love and attention! Absolutely would rebook with her again in future. Thank you, Diane!”

About: I have experience with animals of all different sizes, ages and temperaments. I am new to Rover but definitely not new to taking care of animals. I have been fostering cats and dogs for years through MEHS, BAHS and stray rescue STL. Can provide proof if needed. I recently adopted one of my beautiful foster babies (Lilo). She is the only dog I have currently and is only 5 months old and very friendly with anyone and everything. I do have a 9 year old (Simba) and 6 month old (Charlie) cat, as well as a turtle (Peanut) I have had for 5 years. All of my animals are spayed/neutered. They are all allowed to enjoy the furniture just as much as I am. I would love to give your animals all the love and care while you are away. I am currently in college, so in my free time, I am usually home studying and cuddling up with my fur babies on the couch. I work part-time nights so I usually go in late while the animals are asleep so I am able to spend the day taking care of our pets. I make sure to feed them, give them a nice fresh bowl of clean water. Spoil them with a treat or two. Give them some love and affection, let them out to use the restroom and walk them if that is something you'd like me to do as well, as i know all animals have different needs and some need more exercise than others. If they are on a special diet or need any special care, just let me know as I am quite the note taker and can absolutely meet those needs for you.

Family and friends have relied on me to pet sit, take their pets for walks and administer medication. Others: I also have work experience with cats, rabbits, and farm animals. With my schedule, I am available for walks and drop ins after 4pm, Monday through Friday. On the weekends, I am available from 8am until 9pm. I am able to care for you pet in your home safely. I will follow your instructions and will make sure your pet is happy, safe, and comfortable before I leave my visit. Photos and updates will be sent after each visit/walk. I will communicate any concerns or changes in your pets behavior if needed.

About: Hi there! I have been pet sitting off and on for over 10 years. I love every dog and strive to give them the best time possible. Enrichment is my specialty, as I love to help a dog's brain work. I am the owner of Your Pet Life Coach, and I help teach people about how enrichment activities can be fun for your pup and also help with behavior issues. I am a self-taught dog trainer and have trained a few dogs, even one for commericals and photo shoots. My ideal day would be chilling with the pup, allowing them to tell me what they would like to do: cuddle, play ball, train. I believe I read every dog very well. I have a certificate in Animal Reiki, Crystal Healing, and Massage, along with certification in pet first aid and CPR. I have experience with both geriatric seniors and puppies, helping old dogs get up and move around, and training puppies to potty train and perform basic obedience. I am available every evening during the week, for check ins, walking and other fun activities. I am almost always available the entire day on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I work a full time job at WashU. I am in the office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8-5. If your pet can not be alone that long, I can make arrangements with my husband to check on them during the day. He will also come to the meet and greet that we set up ahead of time. I am very thorough with retrieving all information from the pet parent, and also reading the pets body language. I follow the owners rules in their home and with their pet. I am available for house sitting (I have experience with plants and other small animals as well), for daily walks, and check ins.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have dealt with senior pets, puppies, even a few reptiles! I am familiar with various levels of medical need as well.

Whether it is in your home or on a walk, they will be treated as you expect.

I do not have pets in my house but my family has 3 dogs your pet can play with if wanted at the park! I am able to crate animals if needed and walk them if needed. Love to play and keep them company according to their needs

About: Growing up my mom was a professional dog trainer so we always had different dogs in the house. I learned how to do everything from basic care to in depth trick training. My friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on my to care and train their dogs ever since I was young. I have a puppy, an almost 2 year old, and a senior dog in my own home so I am able to care for any age. I am currently a student but there is always someone available to care for the animals in my home. Typically I leave home by 8am and return by 1pm every week day. I am home in the evenings and all weekend. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs that love to play. I have plenty of dog toys and bones to keep everyone busy and happy. All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations in order to stay.

“This is the second time that Olivia has done drop in visits for our kitties. She went above and beyond what we asked of her. Highly recommend. Thank you, Olivia!”
