About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I have raised my own dogs and have helped friends, neighbors, and family with theirs for years. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether it is walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication while you are away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I am currently fully available and have a very flexible schedule. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, overnights, and extended stays. Your dog will receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I am especially available for in home sitting, which allows pets to stay comfortable in their own environment. I have a secure, fenced patio (with designated turf potty areas, and one friendly, well socialized dog. I am happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including crating if needed, feeding schedules, medication, and exercise preferences. While I can host in my home, I prefer sitting in your home so your dog can remain in a familiar, stress free setting. I am respectful of your space, attentive to detail, and focused on keeping your pet safe, calm, and well cared for at all times.
“Brooklyn was great with our 3 fur babies! This was our first time having a pet sitter and we are so grateful she took good care of Daisy, Poe, and Quentin. I loved receiving pictures as well!”

About: I'm a retired EMT and now an empty nester, pouring all my love into the world of animal care. I used to run a dog daycare at a big boarding facility, where I also got pretty good at grooming. But honestly, my love for dogs goes way beyond work—I'm a proud mom of four fur babies. I've got two amazing working dogs: a Malinois who's all about protection work and a Plott Hound who's training in scent detection. My other two pups are more laid-back—they're experts in treat inspections and bed testing, making sure everything's just right! With tons of experience in dog handling, both on the job and at home, I'm all about taking care of animals and making them happy. Whether it's training, grooming, or just giving them tons of love, my passion for animal care is what keeps me going every day. I am recently an empty nester and retired EMT. I have decided to dedicate my time to caring for pets and I love every minute of it. I am excited to meet your fur babies. I have worked in the pet care industry for many years. Safety is my number one concern. I love my dogs, and I know how much you love your pets. With that being said I want to make sure your pets are happy and safe.
“Caitlin did an absolutely fantastic job caring for our cats! We have a diabetic cat who requires insulin injections and Caitlin expertly handled the injections and dosing. She provided thorough descriptions of her visits and was flexible with our travel issues.”

“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat. I was out of town for a few days and needed someone to check in on my cat while I was gone. Jennifer was quick with her communications, friendly, caring, and easy to work with. I'm very happy with the experience and would definitely ask her to look after my cat again!”

“Laura was excellent when it came to our two cats! She was there to feed and play with them, while also providing copious amounts of pictures of them looking happy and healthy! Definitely hire her if you need a pet sitter!”

“Jamie was great! He took great care of our cats, our older dog, and our fish! Jamie was very thorough in his descriptions for his visits, and the pics were wonderful.”


About: Life long dog owner and lover! Currently have a 2 year old mini dachshund Rue and a 11 year old grandpa mastiff pitt mix Gus. I am a PE teacher off for the summer so I love to get dogs their fulfillment through walks, sniffaris, fetch, or just some much needed attention. I endeavor to love, care for, and spoil your dogs just like I do my own I am a teacher off for the summer who also works at the 2nd shift brewery. I will be available most week days apart from 2 vacations I am taking. My summer schedule is very flexible to meet your needs. I have a fenced backyard and take my own pups on daily walks and would love to care for yours in the same way I do my own.
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”

“Mae is the bomb! I think my animals really like them, and I definitely appreciate their support. They have been caring for my babies for going on 3 weeks, 4 days a week and it’s a godsend for my busy schedule. They are super bubbly and sweet, keep on top of communication, and follow instructions to a T. My neighbors see them all the time and always tell me how much they like Mae and how friendly they are. Plus, they take really good pictures. Highly recommend.”

“Catelyn is truly wonderful with our dogs :) They are always so excited to see her, which is SUPER special since they are both rescues. She always leaves the house better than she found it and is extremely communicative. I know they are in good hands with her. Could not recommend more!”


“Natalee did an excellent job caring for our cat, Gordie 😽. She visited twice daily, provided fresh water and food, kept the litter pan clean and gave Gordie lots of attention. We highly recommend her for anyone needing a cat sitter.”


“Leanna responds pretty quickly and my cat loves to stay with her. She played with my cat, feed him, cleaned the litter box, and changed the water. It's pretty hot outside. She also helped me lower the AC to make my house cooler.”

About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! Hello, I currently work during the day as an office manager at a local advertising agency. My schedule is hybrid - I work form home Mondays and Fridays, so I am very flexible. I currently live in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the McKinley Heights negihborhood. There is both a front and backyard in my building but I also often walk to Lafayette Square, which is nearby.
About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!
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.
About: I have a 5 year old 100lb staffordshire terrier named Kaido that I raised and trained since he was 6 weeks old. I crate trained, house trained, recall trained, socialized, and lead trained him myself. I have also Kaido to help work with other dogs that are not well socialized or have anxiety issues. I am currently working two part time jobs as a research coordinator so I am typically able to be flexible with whatever schedule is requested. While my apartment does not have a fenced yard, I do have a large dog crate if needed and have knowledge of many dog parks and trails in the St Louis area.
Saint Louis dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kyani was absolutely amazing with my dogs (Laila & Bowe) She was attentive, she took tons of videos and pictures which kept me connected to my fur babies. She gave them plenty of play time and I can tell by the pictures my fur babies loved hanging out with Kyani. If I ever need a dog sitter I'll be contacting Kyani.

Jenn took great care of our fur-babies over a long holiday vacation! She even did the cat dishes which we did not ask her to do!! She took photos with each drop-in visit (and even one video!), which helped keep our minds at ease while we were away. She was very communicative and prompt and clear with responses when we had questions. Highly recommend! Thank you!

Incredible dog sitter. Wouldn't trust anyone else to sit on my dog. Lol The dog adored her. She was super punctual, communicative, and even sent cute photos of the dog while we were gone which was both great and sad because it made us miss her. Madison is worth every penny and then some. Couldn't recommend enough.

Tamera has been such a wonderful help for us. She comes by for 30 minute visits while my boyfriend and I are at work, always giving our dogs plenty of playtime, attention, and a chance to go outside. She’s very professional, consistently kind, and has great communication. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such good hands. Highly recommend Tamera to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!!!

Brooklyn was great coming to check on my pups! She’s helped me with a nail trim for my crazy puppy before and she was so gentle and sweet (even when my puppy was being a little pterodactyl🤣). You can tell she’s great with animals! She sent tons of pictures and a thorough update about her check in. I would reach out to her again in a heartbeat!

Hayley is great with Hopper and takes good care of him when i have to be away. She keeps good communication so i know what’s going on which I love! I’ve used her service multiple times now and will continue to do so when I need someone trustworthy and great at what they do!
