“Jamie was freaking awesome. Communication was sweet and responsive and my pup was exceptionally well taken care of, even with medications and geriatric needs.”

“Jessica is great! She is flexible with my schedule and treats my pup like one of her own. Phoebe gets so excited to see her. Jessica helps me feel less guilty about having to leave my fur baby while I’m at work all day. 100% would recommend her!”

“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.”

“Abby took the time and effort to drive over and meet my dog prior to walking him the day after, which I really appreciated. She took lots of pictures of Mando. Professional and kind. Thank you.”

About: I have been active with Leaderdogs for the blind organization as a puppy raiser. They provide extensive training and mentoring to care for a future leader dog puppy. Much of this advanced training has helped me bond with and care for puppies of all ages! I have been developing my perception of the world through "canine eyes". This means that I'm able to provide fun experiences tailored to each pup. I am used to having a service animal in training with me throughout the day, everyday. It brings me great joy to have a dog around. It's not uncommon for a curious pup to want to interact with me during daily actives. I encourage this in a safe, supervised way. Because there are no other pets in the house, it reduces the chance for conflicts. There is a fenced in backyard to run, play and sniff! Your pup may or may not have challenges with children. There are no children at this residence.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and trained one dog growing up. I have experience walking neighbors dogs and house-sitting for friends and family. Love all dogs! I’m currently working, and evenings and weekends are the most free for me. My schedule will free up significantly around the summer time. I grew up with dogs and have been missing them dearly, so I am excited to have more furry friends in my life! I love taking dogs for walks. I’ll always leash up before opening the door. On walks, I’ll follow whatever style of interaction your pet is used to. I’ve walked dogs who are friendly to other dogs and people and dogs who are not- so I’ve had experience on both ends of the spectrum. It is helpful to know what their dog typically does on a given day, any information is appreciated :). I love to be active and play with dogs, but also respect downtime to rest.
“Gabrielle walked my mom’s two rowdy border terriers for several weeks multiple times a week. She always showed up on time, was courteous and respectful and was great with the dogs. She was also very communicative. She always sent a photo and let us know how many times they peed and pooped. Thank you, Gabrielle!”

“Really wonderful experience with Ross. He is prompt and timely, an excellent communicator, and very nice! My dog loved him, I would not hesitate to book him again.”

“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.”

About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! Hello, I currently work during the day as an office manager at a local advertising agency. My schedule is hybrid - I work form home Mondays and Fridays, so I am very flexible. I currently live in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the McKinley Heights negihborhood. There is both a front and backyard in my building but I also often walk to Lafayette Square, which is nearby.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve been around different types of pets, especially dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I work full-time, but I work from home on Fridays and have more flexibility on weekends. I enjoy staying active, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, so dog walking and pet sitting are things I would genuinely enjoy doing. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Well Fridays I work from home so it would easy, Saturdays and sundays I usually do Pilates so it would actually keep me busy in a way I work from home on Fridays, which gives me more flexibility to care for pets. I’m also available on weekends. I usually spend my weekends doing Pilates and staying active, so pet sitting and dog walking would fit nicely into my routine. I live near the Soulard area, which is a great place for walks. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. I follow the owner’s instructions and do my best to keep their pets on their normal routine.
About: I love animals they are my passion my life is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of our furry companies and making you life a little easier I'm a recent graduate taking a gap year, I am available every day for scheduling, except for Mondays, from 7 pm to 9 pm. 🖤 Every pet is different so my first job is to listen to the people caring for the pet about their needs (medication, potty time, feed time, etc) and take care of the pet accordingly!
About: I have been looking after animals in some capacity my whole life, whether my own pets or the animals of loved ones, neighbors, and people in my community. I bond with animals quickly and deeply and have a very strong intuitive sense of their needs. My schedule is open for your pet care needs. I am between jobs and only work part time as a yoga instructor, so I have a lot of availability as a result! Let me know what you need, and I will be there. I am unable to care for your dog in my home, but I am happy to provide exceptional and attentive care at your abode and in the outdoors.

I currently have 2 dogs of my own named Kleio and Quinn as well as a bearded dragon named Pebbles and a kitty named Soot! I look forward to helping your fur kids stay happy and healthy while you’re away! 🫶🏻 I’m currently working full time but am available before and after work for walks/drop in visits and can do lunch time visits if the distance isn’t too far. I always strive to keep my fur friends happy and occupied. I love play time and enjoy helping to enrich their lives with walks or snuggles on the couch.
About: I have cared for pets my entire life. We had various dogs and cats growing up in my family home. My previous roommate had a dog and a cat for many years and I would pet-sit whenever needed! Big or small, I love them all! I work remotely a few days a week, so my schedule is flexible. Weekends are available! Holidays are dependent on my work schedule, but I am usually available! I am available to housesit or pet sit at the owner's home. I cannot housesit at my place at this time. I am happy to dogsit and take extra care of your pets!
About: I love dogs and taking care of them! Growing up I have always had a dog in my household. As soon as I turned 18 I got 2 puppies of my own!

I have experience with seniors dogs and puppies and can also give medications if needed. I am currently a full time college student. I have full availability on weekends. During the week I am usually available early in the morning (before 8am), 12-2 in the afternoons and after 6pm in the evenings! I would love to meet your pup before a drop in/walk if possible! It’s important to me to learn your dogs routine and fulfill their needs. Your space will be respected if I am dropping into your home!
About: My parents are avid animal rescuers and dog trainers so I have taken care of many different dog breeds ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I also spent a lot of college pet sitting for my professors to fund my degree and am comfortable administering meds, crating dogs and of course helping your pet work off their pent up energy. I am a content creator and baker so my hours are completely flexible. I am able to check in throughout the day while you’re at work and also can offer overnight stays. I do sometimes host shows and events between the hours of 7-10 pm so some overnight visits may need to start later depending on how much supervision your pet needs. I am very comfortable following care plans and can accommodate your pets routine to ensure everything runs smoothly in your absence. I am also happy to check in and will ask questions if needed to clarify any instructions.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - The Gate District
I’ve been using Brenna for the past 8 months to walk my two German Shepherds three days a week and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Finding someone reliable who can handle two high-energy GSDs, especially one with trust issues, is not easy, but she has been consistently excellent. Every walk has been on time, thorough, and handled with real confidence and care. My dogs come home happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable with her. I always receive updates and photos, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m at work. What stands out most is the consistency and professionalism over such a long period. I never once had to worry about cancellations or last-minute issues. Highly recommend Brenna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced dog walker.

Molly was super communicative and flexible. I was out of town and my sister ended up giving birth a few weeks early and our dogs who were left alone for quite a few hours while my sister and brother-in-law were at the hospital. I ended up booking Molly day and she help coordinate walking times for the both of them and then even spend some time hanging out with them in the house due to the hot weather it was such a relief having Molly step in and help us during such a stressful and unexpected but eventful, and happy time.

OMG. THIS BOX IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO DESCRIBE MS. K. AWESOME ON ALL LEVELS. DURING THE MEET AND GREET SHE AND PIPER WERE TRUE BESTIES. IT WAS A MATCH CLEARLY DESIGNED BY GOD. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE FAMILY. SHE'S SOOO POLITE AND RESPECTFUL OF THE OWNER AS WELL. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HER AND SO DOES PIPER. WE WILL USE HER AGAIN AND AGAIN
She did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of Boone. He has some special needs and a very specific routine, so I’m always a little cautious about leaving him with someone new. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, paid close attention to the details, and made sure he was well cared for the entire time. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Boone was with someone who took his needs seriously and treated him like her own. Everything was handled exactly the way I asked, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. I would absolutely trust her with Boone again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their dog

We’ve been working with Morgan consistently over the past 6 months and she has been absolutely fantastic! She’s incredibly communicative and reliable giving us complete peace of mind. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to any of our close friends and family!!
