About: I have always loved dogs, and I had a lot of experience helping with dogs that belonged to my other family members or friends growing up. I have added dogs to the family as an adult and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, and caring for them. I have a bichon-freise and shitzu (teddybear mix) dog as part of our family currently. I have two daughters who adore dogs. I am just now beginning this journey on Rover though I have lots of experience working with dogs and caring for others' pups. I am currently working part time from home, so I have time to play and care for your pup. I can take your dog out first thing in the morning, a couple of times during the day, and before bedtime. I walk my own dog three to four times daily and sometimes take him to one of the two fenced in pet parks in my apartment building. Your dog can join us for whatever seems appropriate to you.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two students high school and college, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. This is my full-time occupation, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions with care and attention to detail—just as I would for my own pets. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I’ve been in the dog and cat world for 11 years, working at one of St. Louis’s biggest kennels. I started as a runner and climbed the ranks to Facility Manager. I also spent time in our grooming department, where I gave baths, trimmed nails and filed them, brushed teeth, and lightly trimmed dog furnishings. I’ve worked with all sorts of breeds and sizes. Right now, I have three dogs: Charlotte, a 12-year-old Beagle; Homer, a 6-year-old Beagle/Coonhound; and Eugene, a 1-year-old Beagle/American Foxhound. Plus and I have Jager, my 4-year-old Black Lab grandpup. Caring for other people’s pets has become my true calling. Since I got into the pet business, I’ve learned so much about how animals act. Taking care of your pet is what I love most. I’ll treat your furry friend like family. I am an early riser and my dog’s day starts early as well. They have a regular schedule eating and potty time. They also attend a local Day Camp for weekly play with other pups. I am able to leave them at home for several hours a day. I am not currently offering pet care in my home. However, I respect another person’s home as if it were my own. I ask that the client has an assigned location for all pet walking needs as well as a location for drop in needs such as food and treats. If a pet has had any potty accidents inside the home, I will definitely clean up any “ accidents “ that I should come into.

About: I have 4 cats of my own, but I've taken care of animals my entire life! We had pets ranging from cats, dogs, fish, birds, bunnies, to chickens! I have often dog/house sit for a family friend and their two dogs, as well as her sister's other two dogs, and my own sister's 4 pets when they are out of town! I am used to needy and affectionate animals, but also know how to work well with more shy animals. I'd love to meet your fur baby and help your family out! The easiest would be a stop in and do checks, but I am also able to stay at your home if need be! I work Tuesday-Thursday 10 am-6 pm, Friday 10 am- 3 pm, and every other Saturday 10 am -3 pm. Sunday and Monday are totally free!! The easiest routine would be a stop in and do checks, but I am also able to stay at your home if need be! I work Tuesday-Thursday 10 am-6 pm and Friday/Saturday 10 am -3 pm. Sunday and Monday are totally free! I will take every house rule into consideration when caring for not only your pet, but your home! I follow very specific feeding and care instructions with the few families currently help, as well as with my own cats, so I am used to a specific routine! I love to make sure your fur babies are as comfortable without you as they can be, like you were never gone!

About: I've been a multi-dog and cat-owner my entire life until recently, RIP. I'd love to care for your furry friends as if they were my own while you're away and happy to help tidy as well! I'm injection and medication-friendly and can safely and confidently administer meds. I'm a nurse practitioner for humans at my day-job. I have a fairly flexible full time job and am available most afternoons, evenings, nights and every other weekend. I'm happy to drop in before and after work and take animals on walks or long cuddles on the couch in the evenings. I work with animals of all sizes and breeds, am active and love taking them on walks. I'm happy to administer medications to any age dog.

“Abigail was amazing! Great communication and took our puppy on a nice, long walk!! Would absolutely book her again for future walks or visits :)”

“Anya was great! She came every morning for two weeks to walk my dog while I was recovering from surgery. She was always on time and my dog absolutely loved her!”

About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me

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 Monday-Friday I am free in the evenings, and free anytime on the weekends! I wish I could adopt every animal, so this job is the next best thing! 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 have 6 years of experience caring for cats and 3 years with dogs. I trained my dog when he was a puppy, rescued stray cats and helped a lost dog find a new home. Also introduce my second cat who is a strayed cat to my first cat. I’m currently in my gap year so I have lots of time to caring your cat or dogs (also puppy!) Pet care fits into my daily routine as I enjoy spending time training, feeding, and playing with them. Boarding pets will have their own bedroom, and share the living room with/without resident cats depending on how they get along. I have a safe environment at home. There’s no child in home. Additionally, I have experience with pet training and caring for both rescueds and domestic pets. I ensure a loving and secure atmosphere for your furry companions.

About: We've had dogs for nearly all my life. The first dog I trained and took full responsibility for was my border-collie/boxer mix, Falco. It has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life! I love high energy dogs that require running/jogging as well as older pups that just need a stroll and some fresh air. I have experience with diabetic dogs, dogs with limited eyesight/hearing, elderly dogs, puppies, and dogs who are dog-averse and need their space. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to pop out for walks or do a home visit to check in on pets. Safety is an absolute priority for me when taking care of dogs. When walking, I check the pavement to make sure it is not too hot for the dog. Additionally, I make sure their collar or harness is properly fitted to prevent discomfort but ensure they do not get loose. With dogs who are dog or people averse, I make sure they are secure and calm, and I stay alert for any individuals passing by.

“Courtney did a great job being attentive to my dog while walking her and was great about providing feedback and keeping me posted during the walk. 10/10”

About: I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life, and was frequently the primary caregiver :) I am a high-energy dog and cat lover who adores being outside with any furry friend. I've dogsat for friends and neighbors, and walked dogs for friends! I'm currently a student at WashU with consistent availability on weekends and variable availability throughout weekdays. I’m happy to provide housesitting or drop in care, as well as dog walks. I only offer dog-sitting in your home to keep your dog comfortable in their familiar environment. I'll stick to their routine, provide lots of playtime, and keep you regularly updated with pictures!

“My pups are loving Tori and I appreciate her following up with me on the schedule!”

Lisa T.

About: My experience with dog care began at age 12 when I started walking my neighbors' medium-sized Labrador and Golden Retriever mix during summer afternoons, gaining early hands-on experience. Later, I expanded my responsibilities by dog-sitting for family friends, looking after dogs of various breeds and temperaments, which helped me develop a deeper understanding of different canine needs. I'm currently working remotely as an English tutor, and I have the flexibility to set my own hours to match your schedule and needs. I can assure you that your pet will be my top priority, and I am open to any changes, such as extended care time that you might require. I have a small backyard with a fence and a secure balcony if you want your cat to spend time outdoors. My cat is fed three times a day at specific times, so I can easily accommodate a strict feeding schedule for your pet.

“Lisa is great, highly recommend. It was so nice knowing Baxter was in good hands while I was gone.”

About: I have a 8 year old Yorkie myself that suffers from joint pain. I have had him since he was born. I understand the importance of delicate care when it comes to taking care of pets including senior pets. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, dependable, and genuine when caring for pets. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable caring for younger pets who need extra attention, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or additional care. I’m also responsible about following feeding schedules, routines, and special instructions from owners. I am currently working part time with a flexible schedule. I have plenty availability to care for pets, do drop ins and dog walks when needed. I have a friendly male yorkie that is great company for other dogs. I don’t have a fenced yard however I keep dogs leashed and crated when needed. I have a full sized car available for outings. I clean up well behind myself & respect other peoples space & boundaries. I follow any rules & regulations put in place for the good of the pet & integrity of myself.

About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.

About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m extremely passionate about their care, health, and overall well-being. I also have hands-on experience with professional dog grooming, including bathing, blow-drying, brushing, dematting, scissoring, and shaving. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, great at following detailed instructions, and prioritize clear communication with every owner. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I feed a group of 14 animals everyday for a older couple that can no longer do it themselves (or no longer prefers to lol) and that takes 2-3 hours of my evening leaving my basically fully available to fit in additional pet care all throughout the day. I am very passionate about adequate pet care. believe when it comes to caring for pets that trust is the foundation for it all. So when caring for a pet I believing following introductions and routines exactly, this helps the pet adjust and trust me a lot faster as they know I know their routine. My typical day with my dogs consists of waking up and going outside and just hanging out for a little, then I will give them breakfast and give them fresh water, after they are finished eating I clean their food bowl as well, and to end our morning routine I finish with a walk. Our afternoons usually consist of be doing any tasks or errands and when I’m home we will play with toys and hangout on the couch. The evenings usually is the same routine as the morning.
