“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”


About: Hi, I’m Nana! I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, but my heart truly belongs to the little ones. For 16 wonderful years, I was the proud parent of a sweet Pomeranian. After she recently passed, her brother became the only dog in our home. We realized how much we missed the energy of a multi-dog household, which is why I’ve decided to open our home to sitting small dogs like yours. My life revolves around my 13 year old Pomeranian, Danny, who is the heart of my home. Having a senior dog has taught me everything about specialized care (gentle handling, medication schedules and providing a calm, patient environment for dogs who need a little extra love). I specialize exclusively in small dog care. I know that little ones have big personalities but also unique needs. My home is a safe haven where your pup won't be overwhelmed by big dogs or high-energy chaos. I’d love to watch your fur-babies! I frequently work from home, so your dog will have constant companionship and a consistent routine. My schedule is built around the needs of my 13 year old Pomeranian, meaning regular potty breaks in our fenced yard, timely feedings, and treat time are already part of my daily flow. Your pup will be supervised throughout the workday and treated like family. Safety is my top priority, especially for small breeds. I never leave guest dogs unattended outside. Because I’m fully aware of how curious they are (mine is constantly rooting for bugs), I am hyper vigilant about small-dog hazards.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, structure, and reliability I bring to every visit. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable quickly. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, and I follow routines closely while communicating clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Pets fit right into our busy family life! I keep a consistent routine for walks, play, and cuddles, so your furry friend always feels loved and cared for. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In our home, pets are always supervised, given plenty of space to play or rest, and kept on a consistent routine to help them feel secure. I carefully follow all client instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My husband also assists with pet responsibilities, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and interaction throughout their stay.
“I’m so grateful for Laura and her family. She was incredibly flexible from start to finish, and my dog is completely worn out—in the best way! Laura gave her all the attention I couldn’t, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”

“We were so grateful to have Jenna babysit our dog Jasper when we decided at the last minute to go into St. Louis. We are from out of town and the heat was just going be too much for him to go along with us. She treated him like one of her own thanks again!”

“Haile and Alex were so pleasant and informative. This was my first stay and they took the time to let my dog get acclimated with the other dogs upon arrival. They sent pics and videos to make me feel comfortable about me being apart. At pickup time they provided advice based off of what they experienced during the stay to help her next stay be just that much better for my pup. Needless to say her new bestie Evie had a great time and she is down for the count. ☺️ Thank you!”


“Ruthie was great with my deaf little puppy. He is afraid of other dogs but she was sweet and patient and he accepted the others. Her dog Ginger is the sweetest little cuties! Will book again!”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for everything from reptiles to rodents to larger 4-legged creatures. I spontaneously rescued a dog 20 years ago which ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. I spent 15 years with my little buddy exploring trails, taking car rides, lazily cuddling on the couch and having lots of one-way conversations. He unfortunately passed away a happy old man but during that time, taught me patience, dedication, playfulness and gave me a special appreciation for dogs. I have vast experience being around a variety of dogs of all shapes, sizes and personality types. I overall just enjoy being around dogs and caring for them (I'm definitely that guy asking strangers if I can pet their dog ). I look forward to sitting your animals and providing you a great service if we match. I work from home in an office setting during the week so I would be around the house most of the time to keep tabs on things and for backyard potty breaks (have a fenced in backyard). During the week, I would be available before 8:00am, during my lunch break and after 4:30pm for walks or to stop by your house for check-ins. On weekends, I am not working so I would be available all day. I live next to Tower Grove Park and enjoying spending time outside or walking in the park. I have a cozy home with a small fenced-in backyard that is perfect for small to medium sized dogs. My house is tidy, quiet and currently don’t have any pets, so my home is perfect dogs who prefer that kind of environment. I generally don’t need to leave the house too often so your pet would be hanging with me most of the time. When boarding, I am able to provide two 20 minute walks per day and as many backyard potty breaks as they need.
“Sarah is a great sitter! We initially booked her for boarding and added on day care so our puppy had a chance to get to know Sarah and her son before our trip. She is very flexible and communicative. We have our boarding scheduled soon and will continue to use Sarah in the future!”

“So glad to have found Brian for our pet sitting needs We know that Sparky gets great care and lots of love. Brian is quick to respond and very flexible. We will definitely be back!”

“Damica is trustworthy and excellent with my pup. Kya has come home tired and happy from daycare both times I have picked her up, which is exactly what I wanted! Damica is quick to respond and provides updated videos/photos throughout the day so I can see what Kya is up to. Will definitely rehire.”

“Sarah was so great! She answered all of my questions I asked before booking, was super responsive and so sweet with Cooper and sent me pictures and video throughout the day so I knew he was doing good.”

“So conscientious and caring, we can't say enough about Isa's attentiveness and care. Highly, highly recommended for both locals and travelers. Thank you for taking such good care of Tilda!”

“Mariah is a God send… flexible hours, sweet as can be and not only has 1 pool for the fur babies but 3. Nice big clean yard and personal pets are friendly. I’m so happy I reached out to her!”

Damica was awesome! She's professional and friendly. She took care of our dog for a few hours and during that time, she kept us up to date with how our puppy was doing. Very much recommend Damica and will definitely use her services the next time we visit St. Louis with Mookie!

Shannon checked all the boxes for us. She lived in a safe, walkable neighborhood, didn’t have any other pets at the house, and an allowed Tucker to lay on the back of her sofa. This all made for a very happy boy. I’m sure he felt like a king while we enjoyed our great nieces first birthday party. We didn’t worry about him at all, knowing he was being well cared for. Thank you, Shannon.
Daniela took wonderful care of our pup! She was super flexible and has the most adorable puppy, Lucky, who played amazingly well with Ellie! She would pull me to their door as soon as she caught sight of Lucky which is a great sign of how she loved being there! She is usually picky the first 2 days with a new sitter but Daniela figured out how to get her food tooo. Highly recommend Daniela and Lucky!

My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!
