“This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.”
“Uğer could not be more kind and patient with my energetic young dogs. He has also been reliable and very communicative as a dog walker. You can really tell how much he loves dogs. I could not recommend him higher and will request his services any time I need care for my pups.”
“Rebekah has taken Oli for a long walk for the first time and it went great! It makes us feel so much better when we are stuck at work and know that our fur baby is in good hands, safe, and getting her needs met. Rebekah took plenty of pictures and updated us on how the walk went. We hope to have Rebekah taking care of Oli again and would definitely recommend her to other fur parents! We could tell she genuinely loves dogs and prioritizes their safety.”
“Jamie is amazing! He took such great care of our dog and two cats while we were away. He was very communicative and shared some great pictures and updates. Everyone was happy when we got home! Will definitely use Jamie again in the future”
“I had a last minute need for a dog walker Kyani was available and met us same day so she could walk her the next day. She was very caring and great with my dog!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog person — there’s never been a time in my life without one! These days, my chocolate lab is enjoying his well-earned retirement (walks are officially off his agenda), which means I have all this love and energy to give. I would absolutely love to be your dog’s favorite part of the day! I currently work full time, as a hybrid employee so I’m working for home at least two days for home with a flexible schedule. That gives me plenty of time to walk your dog or check in on them. For drop in visits and dog walking, I would follow your request for your dogs needs. At this time, I am not doing overnight stays
“Jenn was amazing to my pup, Elton (and his little cat brother Balou)! She was extremely prompt and communicative and I never worried about my animals when they were in her care 🐾”
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: As a child, I grew up with having a cat as a pet. I love them so much, but remember begging my parent for a dog for many years. (Currently my boyfriend is allergic to cats so looks like we’re officially dog people) We finally got a family dog when I was 15, a giant sweetheart, St. Bernard named Rocky. I got my first (full responsibility) dog with my high school boyfriend at 17, a big headed, gentle giant Blue Nose Pitbull. And I adopted my soul dog at 19, our stubborn, loving stinky boy, Tyson! We spend the last 15 year together and he went across the rainbow bridge last year. I was so lucky to have my 80 lb boxer pitbull live as much life as he did by my side. As a 34 year old who is pet-less for the 1st time in forever, I’m here to share my love for animals in my spare time with your sweet babies! My schedule changes frequently. Weekdays are usually best for my availability for walks. Weekends are optional for over night care, but I will be working so they need to be house or crate trained. I have a fenced yard shared with a duplex that has no other animals. There are lots of squirrels and bunnies in my area, but otherwise your furry friend will have the whole yard to theirselves! I enjoy spending time with them in the yard as well
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.
“Meghan, I’m so grateful for you. You came into my home with such calm care, followed every instruction, and treated my fur family with genuine love. You took Arrow for a real walk, made sure everything was secure, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing my home was safe and my dog and cat were so well cared for meant everything to me. I’m looking forward to having you back very soon.”
“Zaria has walked our dog 3x/week for the past 2 weeks and has been great. Reliable, communicative, and is amazing with our not-very-disciplined 55 pound dog, who loves it when Zaria comes. We will be doing a recurrent booking with Zaria for as long as she’s available! Highly recommend.”
About: I run a 5k every day and can handle large or small dogs. For boarding I have 2 acres of fenced in grass nearby where I run by husky at daily. My experience : I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I now have a 2yo siberian Husky, Shryko, who I have off-leash trained for hikes and river adventures. So I'm very active, and my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime. I have a fenced in yard and large living room. 1 dog, 8 month 40lb siberian husky girl who loves company and playtime. Also have a large crate if separation is needed.
Saint Louis dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tatianna was an amazing help walking my dog. She met with us beforehand to introduce herself and clarify how she best care for my dog. She sent a picture after each walk and ensured my dog had enough food and water before leaving. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area that needs their dog walked!
Kyani was excellent. Extremely responsive and responsible with our dogs. She was super easy to work with and even helped arrange taking our dogs to boarding at my request. I will absolutely rebook with her next time I need pet care. Very personable and obviously a dog lover.
Jenn is an outstanding walker for my dog, Oakley. She was consistent and on time with every walk. She was flexible when I needed to switch days during the week. She walked Oakley in all kinds of weather. Most importantly, I could tell from the pictures she sent that Oakley enjoyed himself and was well cared for on the walks. I strongly recommend Jenn for your dog walking needs!
Stephen is absolutely amazing! Cannot recommend him enough! He is always willing to come and walk our dog and spend time with him, and does an amazing job every time. He always makes the extra effort to give us good updates which makes the experience that much better!
Catelyn stepped in to walk my dog, Princeton Antonio, for a few mornings while our regular walker was away and she made a wonderful impression in such a short time! She was communicative, punctual, and kind, and she treated Princeton with such care and attentiveness. On her last day, she even left a thoughtful thank-you card, which speaks volumes about the kind of person (and professional) she is. Though our time together was brief, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind-hearted dog walker.
Niah has been a wonderful part of Princeton Antonio’s daily routine, and he gets extra excited whenever she arrives! She’s energetic, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.
