About: I've had 2 shih tzus (who recently both passed away at almost 16 years old), so I love small dogs (and any and all sweet pups!) I also have a calico cat, who is very sweet. Any pet who stays with us should be cat-tolerant, and also they should be OK with kids. I also have 2 kids (a 7 year old and toddler) who love animals. Please, no aggressive animals, as we do not have experience. House trained pets, please. I work from home, and I am almost always home, except for errands, to take my kids to extra circular classes. We are never out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced backyard, but there are steps to go down it. Pets can roam freely at the house. We can also crate your pet if they are more comfortable sleeping in the crate. But they are free to jump on couches, beds, and furniture. We have baby gates to keep pets out of unsafe areas.
“Best sitter in the area!! Lilly is exhausted and she misses Smokey so much! We had to move our trip dates due extreme weather in Texas and she was totally fine with it. She took great photos and videos of Lilly playing with Smokey, Laronna is the best!!!”
“So communicative!! If I need to board my cat again, will definitely be requesting her!! She made this whole experience of me having to board my cat for the first time so much easier!”
“Thank you Ebony for taking such good care of our baby girl an for all the pictures an updates. Anyone looking to leave their dogs with someone who takes good care of them an keep you updated the whole time give Ebony a call she is great.”
“The peace of mind I have when I leave my puppy with Caitlin and Adam is invaluable. We were gone for almost 2 weeks and I never had a single concern. They take such good care of Jet!”
“I left my 2 dogs with Lindsey & she made my dogs feel very welcomed as if they were at home. She was very easy to get in touch with & responsive at all times. Her house was clean & dog proof. She followed all instructions given to her & also adhered to concerns that I shared regarding my dogs. I will be using her again in the future. 🐕🦺🐾”
About: I'm 31 years old and have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. Not necessarily in a professional setting, but I have years of experience pet sitting for my friends and family. Walking, bathing/grooming, training, administering medicine, etc - I can do it all. I currently have 1 dog and 1 cat of my own + tons of extra love/time on my hands during the week for your fur family. Ask me anything, I'm an open book! I have the most availability Saturday/Sunday evenings and Monday - Friday in the afternoons between 3 PM - 8 PM. There are a few week day mornings that I will have available starting at 8 AM (depending on when I get scheduled to work my other job) I live a block away from Tower Grove Park and will happily take dogs there to get some steps in! I have a backyard that is not fenced in, so they will be leashed if taken out back to go potty. There is a large crate here if that's ever needed. They are welcome to lay on my couch and bed, but there is a dog bed available as well + plenty of toys for them to chew and feel right at home with.
“Evan and Kaleigh are amazing! I was delayed on the drop off day. They were so patient and encouraged me to take my time getting there. We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”
“Erika watched our golden for a weekend on 2 days notice which was amazing in itself! She was very kind, communicated well and sent us pics of Ted while we were away. We can tell Teddy had fun too!”
“Chelsea was amazing and Pepper fell for her immediately which made me feel even more at ease with leaving her with a complete stranger who instantly became family.”
“Best experience ever!! Reema was so sweet and took great care of our Maverick over the holidays. She kept in touch and sent photos daily. We would highly recommend her!”
“I most definitely recommend and will be using their services again and again!!! I felt very much at the ease leaving my baby in their care. My baby (LunaRee) had a great time!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Louis
Christopher was amazing with Jet and Maverick. He took a last minute booking which was great for us as we were only passing through St. Louis and needed the boys to be boarded for the night. He even brushed my dogs at my request. Both of the boys were happy when we picked them up.
I can’t say enough good things about Jayde! She makes it so easy to leave my baby without worrying about him being taken care of. Very good communication and daily updates which I love. My boy came back so relaxed and happy. Definitely someone I recommend leaving your fur baby with!
John was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! He took great care of Pichu and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I really appreciated the communication and the peace of mind knowing Pichu was in good hands. It’s clear that John genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!
This was the first occasion for me to have someone sitting with my pets. Emma was AMAZING! She came for a meet and greet prior to the boarding dates, was in touch without throughout my time away, sent multiple photos over the two days and I returned to two happy and healthy pups. Although I do not live in this area of the country, I would not hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone. Thank you, Emma!!
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 🥰

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 .
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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
