About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a dog or cat in my home! I have a Boxer who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention pets need at every stage of life. As he’s gotten older, he’s settled into his own routines, but he’s still just as loving and energetic as ever! He also experiences anxiety, which has taught me how to recognize signs of stress, provide comfort, and administer medication when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I’m a full-time college student, but my class schedule is flexible, with some later classes and earlier days. I’m happy to work my schedule around your pet’s needs and am willing to commute to campus in the mornings so I can provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I’m committed to following your instructions and caring for your pets just like I would my own pup! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, so I’ll do my best to keep their routines consistent while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding time, walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands! 🤍
About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.
“Brianna was a wonderful sitter for both our cat and our home. It was evident when I arrived home that Franklin was a bit disappointed that it was me walking in the door instead of Brianna! She sent pictures along the way and kept us in the loop. She was very respectful and helpful around our home, too, ensuring that outside plants got watered, dealing with mail and trash, and even coordinating with neighbors who needed to use our driveway while we were away. She left our home neat and tidy. I would not hesitate to hire Brianna again or to recommend her to others. She makes coming home from vacation feel good!”
“Kaity did a great job taking care of my two kitties. It was wonderful coming home to happy cats with no worries. All instructions were followed and she even went above and beyond by bringing in 2 heavy boxes for me. Will definitely use again if/when I need. Thanks Kaity!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.
About: Just a dog mom and passionate animal lover with a dream of spoiling every fur baby in STL. I own a large, reactive senior dog that is my pride and joy so I’m well versed in reactive dogs with spicy personalities. Disclaimer: I’m a physician with unpredictable hours but I know my schedule months in advance so we’ll work together to find a good routine. I will always be transparent if I can’t provide the care needed due to time constraints. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or medical needs and cats are more than welcome to join the gang ! My schedule varies due to switching between clinic and hospital rotations every month. I’m usually available in the evenings and weekends. I know my schedule months in advance so will depend on what service you're looking for and what dates Unfortunately, my dog is not friendly with other animals so I cannot provide boarding. I can only offer house sitting if able to alternate between my home and yours
“Brenda was so responsive and caring! Really appreciate all her updates and time spent with my cat (who usually isn’t very social with strangers but loved Brenda).”
About: I grew up with pets but I’ve also spend the last 4 years fostering dogs therefore I’m so excited to spend time with your furry friends! My availability changes from time to time currently I’m free everyday! Nights and weekends are usually more flexible but I’m happy to work with your schedule! If I bring pets to my home I try to make them as comfortable as possible and I will follow any instructions you’ve set out for them. I want to keep them on their normal schedule while they are with me
“We couldn’t be happier with Sarah! She was reliable and kind and kept our cats happy while we were away. She was able to manage multiple medications accurately for our cat with chronic illnesses, and adjust as needed based on symptoms. She played regularly with our kitten and kept her entertained and happy daily! The cats were relaxed and well cared for when we returned, and everything was as we left it. We really appreciated the updates and photos. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies! 🐾💛”
About: I am a dog daycare counselor during the day and hopefully your future sitter by evening. I am certified in animal CPR and 1st aid. I am experienced with medication administration for any kinds or conditions. I am also trained in dog behavior. I am currently a supervisor at a dog daycare and they are my day to day life. Even at home we have 2 cats and a dog. Our home is never without our 4 pawed babies. I love to give them my full attention because I know they always have mine. I usually like to follow a plan for our days, but I mostly want the pet to feel happy and comfortable.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Louis
Deyna took excellent care of our cat, Zuni, by checking in several times a day while we were away. She was always on time for each visit, and not only fed my baby, but gave her her medicine as well. And she of course, gave my baby love with rubs and pets! Deyna is friendly, responds to messages quickly, and shared tons of pictures of my cat during each visit. She is a pleasure to work with, especially given the fact that my travel plans changed a few times and she was always kind about it and accommodating. I told her I would arrive back home on Sunday afternoon and she still told me that she would be available to feed my cat midday or in the evening if I needed it. She’s so helpful! I definitely recommend her to others in need of pet sitting!
Charnell made my long travel away from my two precious fluffs completely stress-free. I came home to two very happy cats! She provided quick updates with photos and play time with the cats, with all their needs taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her and will use her again for my next time away.
Autumn has been helping with Peaches for years, and she is the absolute best. She is so good with pets, and she takes the best pictures so you know your pet is safe and happy. She goes above and beyond, and this time she even unboxed and put away our Hello Fresh that I forgot was coming. 🥰😭 Book Autumn and you will not regret it!
As always we are so grateful for your first class care Uğur! The boys were happy and healthy upon our return. I cannot express enough the difference in how I feel when we are away now knowing that they are under your watch. Thank you so much for all the photos and videos each day its such a relief to see them so happy.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
