“Elizabeth took such great care of Finley! She wrapped her up in a blanket when she noticed Finley getting scared of a thunderstorm. Her dog Lorax was also so sweet. They have a lovely home with a nice backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

“Madeline was amazing, my dog lilo came home very happy and very tired. She was great about updating and sending lots of cute pictures! Definitely would recommend!”

“Mary was wonderful taking care of our Stella for 2 whole weeks while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with messages and photos and was quick to respond to our messages while we were out of the country. Thanks so much Mary! ??”

About: I grew up with a dog and helped care for various family members pets. I cared for my roommates dog in undergrad and law school. More recently I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for sister when she’s vacationing. I have love and affection for all animals. Most of experience is with older or rescue dogs but I would enjoy taking care of puppies and cats! I am currently working full-time (Mon - Fri 8am to 5pm) but will soon transition to part-time work. I work 5 minutes from my job so I can come home midday for potty breaks and walks when boarding. My weekends are completely open! My condo building has a fenced in dog park and gated parking lot with grassy areas. My unit is on the first floor with a door to the outside. No elevator or stairs required. I live in walking distance to Lafayette Square Park for longer dog walks.
“I absolutely would recommend Jayde to ANY and EVERYONE! She was so good with my doggy. She shared pictures with an update every single night. She even got to sleep in Jayde's bed! Jayde honestly treated my baby like she was her own. She was honestly fabulous. I would use her 100 times over, if I ever need another dog sitter she will definitely be who I use! (if I could give her 10 stars I would)”

“This is the second time we’ve had April stay with Rachel, and it was nothing less than perfect! Lots of photo updates, and she even took my energetic baby on a run! Would absolutely book again!”

“She gave great care and attention to our dog during his last minute overnight stay.. Provided us with lots of updates with messages, pictures and videos. Definitely would recommend Laura for watching your dogs in a loving dog friendly setting.”

“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

“Our dogs love to vacation at Adolfo's house. We really appreciate how he handles them and keeps our boisterous dogs calm and happy. He also is very easy to work with. Five stars plus.”

“April loved staying with Kellin! She sent multiple updates with photos, took her on plenty of long walks (which are needed with April). Would 100% book again!”

“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”

“Reba always treats our pups like they are her own and loves to love on them! She sends updates and pictures several times a day, is very flexible with drop off/pick up, and check in on them after coming home. If ever you need a sitter, Reba is the best!”

“Damica did a great job taking care of our Aussies. One of them needed some medicine twice a day while we were gone, and Damica was careful to stay on top of that too. I felt very comfortable with my pups in her care.”


“Jennifer and Sharon were absolutely awesome! They kept great communication throughout my entire trip and made sure to send a surplus of pictures and videos which is exactly what I needed since I missed my cats so much!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.
“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”

About: i’ve been around dogs my whole life and cats too, so being with animals just comes naturally to me. i have two cats and a dog of my own, so i’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines every day. i’m a huge animal lover in general—not just pets, but everything from little beetles to deer and anything in between 😂 i’ve always had a soft spot for animals. i pay attention to how they act and what they need, whether they’re super playful or more shy. i make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting the attention they need while you’re away. i treat every pet like they’re mine, and i know how big of a deal it is to trust someone with your animals. i’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and i’ll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well taken care of—no stress on your end. my days usually start around 8–9am depending on when my cats wake me up for breakfast lol. my dog zuko is more of a couch potato, but when he needs to go out he definitely lets me know. i work from home and my schedule is super flexible, so i’m not stuck at a desk and can move around freely throughout the day. that means i’m able to give pets a lot of attention, take breaks for walks, and adjust my day around their needs. once i’m up, i take zuko out for his first bathroom break, then we come back in for breakfast. after that i’ll relax a bit, clean up, and then we head back out for a good walk or sometimes the park. after that we come back, he gets a treat, and the rest of the day is pretty go with the flow—lots of attention, check-ins, and making sure everyone’s comfortable and taken care of. i make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment. i live in a loft that gets a lot of natural sunlight, and my pets love it—they’re usually sunbathing and relaxing most of the day, which creates a really peaceful vibe. i pay close attention to behavior and routines so pets feel comfortable, especially in a new space or with a new person. i’m also very mindful about things like doors, food safety, and keeping anything harmful out of reach. i follow your instructions closely so your pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. since i work from home and have a flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone or ignored—they’ll get consistent attention, care, and a relaxed environment. i’ll also keep you updated so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.
Saint Louis dog parents share their Rover experiences
I have two dogs and two cats, and finding someone we truly trust with all four of them is no small feat — but she exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, keeping us updated on how each pet was doing, how they were interacting with one another, and anything they needed along the way. One of our dogs is older, and she was especially attentive to that, proactively letting us know about any health-related observations so we were never left wondering. That kind of thoughtfulness and care means everything when you’re away. She treated our pets exactly the way we would — with patience, attention, and genuine love. We came home to four happy, well-cared-for animals, and we couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend and will absolutely be booking again!

Barbara had our Oli (mini schnauzer) overnight for the first time and we are so pleased. Barbara sent us plenty of updates with pictures and videos, which we loved! And Oli looked very happy from her sleepover experience! Win win! Also, Ruby (Barbara’s rescue) is so sweet and was so good to Oli. I love that they got to interact and even slept in bed with Barbara. We would definitely love to have Barbara taking care of Oli again 🥰

Jessica has been the absolute best thing to happen to our family since relocating to St. Louis. We toured every boarding facility in the area, and I left each one feeling heartbroken. The tiny cages, constant noise, and extremely high prices were overwhelming, and there was no way I could leave our dogs there. Jessica cared for our two Australian Shepherds for nearly two weeks, and it was such a relief knowing they were safe, loved, and treated like family in her home. They also adored playing with her sweet puppy, Cooper, and all got along wonderfully. We are so grateful to have found her and could not recommend her more highly!

Everything went smooth!!!! It was truly a pleasure dealing with Jordan and he gave my wife and I the ability to enjoy our weekend away. Not having that stress truly made the whole experience so much more enjoyable for us. We already requested for our next family event coming up in September !!!! Thanks again Jordan!!!
