“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”

“If I could give Jamicia 100 stars, I would. My dog Chuck got the ultimate VIP treatment and is depressed now that he is home. 🙂 Jamicia is the only person I will leave my fur baby with. She is genuinely the very best.”

“Madeline was absolutely AMAZING! Our two dogs stayed with her for 5 nights, and we received frequent updates and photos the entire time. I highly recommend her!”

“Sarah took good care of my fur baby for the weekend and even made sure I was updated often about how she was doing and confirming that she was taking her medicine! Would book with her again.”

“Ben was great with rotini! He sent pictures every day and rotini seemed to have a great time. He can be a little anxious, but it seems like Ben handled it really well. This was our first rover booking, and we will definitely be back!”

“Mary was amazing with our tiny puppy! He is a handful and has a lot of energy but Mary was patient and took good care of him. Would recommend her to any dog owner!”

“Laura is great! Always easy to schedule stays and she’s been flexible when my travel plans changed last minute. Always sends pictures and videos and my dog enjoys his time here. Highly recommend choosing her for your dog stays!”

“I’m just going to say a quick review as I already left a long and great review for Julia after my other booking. She was wonderful and I highly recommend her. My BoBo loved her and didn’t wanna leave. Thanks, Julia 💕💕💕”

“Sophia did such a great job caring for my Franklin. He had the best weekend going for walks and playing fetch in her fenced in yard! Sophia was great with communication and so easy to work with!”

“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”

“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”

“Damica was GREAT!! She was very communicative and gave morning and evening updates daily. She would even provide a mini recap of the time spent together. Would highly recommend.”

“Reba took excellent care of my 7 month old Collie mix, which needless to say, required a lot of energy and patience. Reba made sure my dog was well exercised and loved, and my dog came back exhausted from all of the fun which was great for me after a long weekend. She sent me lots of pictures which eased my worries of leaving my dog with someone for the first time. I will definitely have Reba watch my dog again! She loved my dog like her own.”

“Awesome experience. I love seeing all the many pictures of my pet! For Halloween, Adolfo took pictures of Charlie in a costume and posing with the scary decorations ?”

“Wonderful - took great care of my cat Arya for a week on short notice, and kept me updated with pictures and a note on how she was doing every day while I was gone. 10/10, I know who I’m calling next time I have to leave town!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.
The Gate District dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our cat and anxious dog had the best stay with Kathryn. My pets loved her immediately and she was extremely kind, professional, and warm. She was detailed oriented and give me great updates throughout the stay. 10000% recommend her!!! One of the best experiences I’ve had with a pet sitter in the past few years!

Our pup Sticks always has a fantastic stay with Walter and Maddie and their dogs! They are super sweet and accommodating, and were just recently able to host our pup on pretty short notice which we appreciated. They send regular updates and I have 100% confidence that our dog is being taken care of as well as he would be at home. Thanks again you two!

Marissa was great! My Sunshine loved having another pup to play with during her long stay, and I always got updates on how she was doing (especially with things like eating, since she sometimes doesn't eat well in new environments). She got long walks, car rides, pup-cups, the total royal treatment! I would highly recommend Marissa, and I will definitely be rebooking with her again.

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!
