“Stephen is the BEST!! On extremely short notice he came to do a drop-in with my pup. He was communicative, kind, respectful of the home, and most importantly he was Oakley’s new best friend! We appreciate you, Stephen!”
“Uğer is reliable and thoughtful. He took great care of our cats who are both very sensitive when we are out of town. Uğer shared pictures and notes on how they were doing, which was much appreciated.”
“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”
“Danielle is truly the best! This is our first time using Rover so not only did she take great care of our Great Dane while we were away, she also eased our worries and concerns and educated us about the app and its services! We will definitely use it again! Every day she sent great updates along with a ton of photos and even threw in a walk which we greatly appreciated. My husband and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I am known as the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends and family! I have worked with everything from tiny 4 week old puppies to senior pets who need assistance walking and require multiple medications. I am comfortable with giant dogs and I have experience with fearful/aggressive animals. I’m an avid hiker and love to stay active, usually with my dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a very flexible schedule so I am available to walk or care for your pet at your convenience! I have a reliable car and don’t mind driving! I have a yard with a secure, 6 foot privacy fence and live in a very walkable neighborhood with three parks near my home. If your pet is more comfortable staying home I am available to take care of them there! I’m a fast learner and I’m eager to learn your pet’s routine!
About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!
“Hannah was great taking care of my cat for a quick drop in visit. She was able to refill his food and clean his litter box. Unfortunately my cat was not in the mood to meet strangers and Hannah knew to just say hello from afar and not push it!”
“Jamie is an excellent cat sitter. He is dedicated and absolutely trustworthy. He has taken good care of my kitty, Felicia, numerous times. He always makes sure that she has everything that she needs. He is patient with her little quirks and moodiness whenever I am away. He always sends detailed updates and pictures to let me know how she is doing after each visit. I strongly recommend Jamie as a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“LAURA! You are such a gem of a person. So communicative, kind, proactive, and empathetic to our kitty! Laura went out of her way to make sure that our cat was hydrated during a really hot period. She left out additional waters, as well as CLEANED OUR AIR CONDITIONER to make sure that it ran properly to keep our kitty cool. That is absolutely next level. And then she REPLACED THE SPONGES THAT SHE USED TO CLEAN OUR DIRTY AIR CONDITIONER. Again, absolutely next level! We are so appreciative of how thoughtful Laura was, and how she thought of absolutely everything to make sure that our cat was safe, happy, cool, hydrated, and loved while we were away. She was also great to communicate with in preparation of the trip for key pick-up. She took copious notes, and she also was really respectful of how shy our cat was. Laura is the best!”
“Brooke is the absolute BEST! I was 100% at ease while away knowing she was taking care of my kitties. She is so nice, responsive, clear with communication and reliable. I adore her and hope to use her whenever I go out of town!”
About: I’m trying to save up money for vet school, and would love to give your pets the love and attention they deserve while at it! Growing up, I was the main caretaker and trainer for our two family dogs. As a teenager, I had a monopoly on neighborhood pet sitting. Now, I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own (part of why I’m eager to dote on yours). I’ve loved meeting so many new furry friends across St. Louis :) Ive also done volunteer work handling wild animals such as hawks, squirrels, and possums! I’m currently working part time, so I have a decent amount of availability with enough notice! My work schedule can be flexible as well, so I’m happy to work something out with you if we have conflicts 👍 I’m no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. If any accidents happen, I will be sure to leave the spot squeaky clean! I’ve also lived in the neighborhood for 3 years so I know the area well. I’m excited to take your pet on a fun and safe walk, or just give them a comforting lil visit at home.
“Jenn took great care of my cat over the holidays, sent me very cute videos of her, and even dealt with my landlords changing my locks with less than 24 hours notice right at the beginning of the stay!”
“We have used Morgan multiple times for our two cats and we have nothing but good things to say! We know they are always in good hands with her.”
“Thank you so much! I’ll touch base with you on Saturday about the key. You should probably just keep it since I’ll be traveling more soon. Talk soon.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I would adopt a hundred if I could, but since I can’t I think this app is the next best thing! I am a teacher so I have evenings free throughout Mon-Friday and weekends free anytime to help! I will become fully free during next summer. I care for pets as if they are family members, I may be guilty of spoiling them from time to time but they deserve it!
About: I’ve always been passionate about animals and have a 5-year-old dog of my own. Caring for pets has been a big part of my life, and I understand the importance of giving them the love and attention they deserve. With my experience, I’m committed to ensuring your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it’s for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I’m here to help whenever you need someone to care for your dog. My home is a safe and comfortable space where your dog will feel right at home. With plenty of room to play, relax, and explore, your pet will enjoy a stress-free environment while in my care. I ensure a clean, secure, and pet-friendly atmosphere at all times.
“Candace is great! My cat, who never let her previous sitter get close enough to touch her (even after 4 years!), warmed up to Candace quickly. Candace is reliable, thoughtful, and communicative.”
About: ** Please contact me to see what city I'm in** I’ve been helping friends and family with pet sitting for over 10 years. Dogs, cats, young, old, mellow, energetic, you name it. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, basic training, and even some light meds. I tend to adapt to each pet’s personality, whether that means playtime in the yard or quiet companionship around the house. After a workplace injury led to a layoff from my tech job, I decided to take some time to travel, visit family & friends across the country, and shift into remote work. Pet sitting fits perfectly into this new chapter of life! I’ve got the flexibility to take it seriously and the calm presence that helps animals feel safe. Most pets warm up to me pretty quickly, and I enjoy their company just as much! **Please contact me to see what city I'm in - My profile may not have updated** Since I’m traveling full-time and working remotely on my own projects, I have a pretty open schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding routine, getting in a few walks, or just being around to keep them company, I’m usually nearby and available. I’m not rushing out to an office or juggling a bunch of local obligations, so your pets get a lot of attention and care. I treat every home with care and respect. Like a guest who knows the rules… I don’t go into rooms I don’t need to, and I always follow any guidelines or preferences the owner shares. I clean up after myself, stick to the pet’s routine, and do what I can to keep the home safe and comfortable while you're away. That includes things like bringing in packages, taking out the trash, and keeping everything looking lived-in so the place doesn’t appear empty.
“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”
About: Love dogs, very flexible schedule, I’m a professional by day, and enjoy working with animals and helping people in my spare time. I have no set agenda and am not doing this for the money. I’m doing it because I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I live and work in downtown STL. My calendar is very open and I don’t see it filling up any time soon. I hope you find this biography interesting because it requires me to type 125 words and I am struggling with what else I should put. My dog Pierre is very low key. He is pretty happy just hanging out as long as he has a human to cuddle with. We like to do long walks, go to dog friendly places, and parks. We like to hangout with lots of options for exercise. I find dog behavior is based on their ability to release their energy in a positive way.
