“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”

“Asia is a wonderful sitter. She kept Cooper for an extended period for me and was very flexible with scheduling. She has extensive experience with dogs and can read cues and knows how to give them space if needed, especially for my anxious pup. I came home to a clean house and living plants too :) I will definitely be rebooking with Asia when I can in the future. Thank you so much!”

“Julia was amazing! Her updates were perfectly timed and she genuinely gave my dog lots of attention and loving! I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her for any future house sitting needs.”


About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.
“This sitter was amazing and made our vacation away from our pets doable! She spent lots of time with Sunny and Kitty, taking them for walks and playing with them. She sent lots of pics each day, all day long to assure us the animals were getting lots of attention. There were no negative issues at all! Highly recommend!”

“Ross has done an amazing job taking care of my pup. He has been very communicative which I really appreciated. It helped me to have a good trip without worrying about my pup. Thx Ross for taking care of Benny.”


“Evelyn was very communicative and took very good care of our girl. Our senior dog has some quirks and special requests, and Evelyn had no issues, making our time away stress free.”

“TORI was absolutely amazing! She was so thoughtful and caring for my cat and sent me such lovely little updates. I have an elderly cat so there are some little quirks in her care and routine - Tori was absolutely on point with providing seamless care while I was gone. I would definitely recommend booking with. I know I will be again soon!”

“Gabrielle was just the right amount of communicative! She took great care of our dog while we were away and the house looked great. Would definitely book again.”


“I was super hesitant to have a sitter in house for my pup because I was scared of my house being a wreck when I came back. Thankfully, this fear did not come true with Mary as a sitter. They were clean and kept my apartment how I left it… if not better. They sent me quite a few update pictures of my pup, and just regular updates in general. They also made sure my pup was okay with plenty of water in the time it was going to take me to get home after they left. Your pup will be in good hands with Mary!”


“As always, Marsha is an exceptional sitter! She takes wonderful care of our dogs (and home!). She is communicative and attentive! We look forward to booking her again!”

“She was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isn’t booked up.”

About: Hi! My name is Kavita and am a 3rd year law student at Washington University School of Law here in St. Louis! I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid and was lucky to grow up around them. I have a dog of my own (a small Havanese toy poodle named Mildred), and I’m experienced in taking care of dogs of all ages! You can rest easy knowing your pet will be in loving, capable hands. I’ll treat them like my own, with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m always happy to send photo updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I know how to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed. Plus, my building has a secure dog park—perfect for fun, exercise, and fresh air! I’m home most days of the week, live right by Forest Park and go on numerous daily walks and runs. I’m happy to flex my walks around the doggo’s needs! I have a clean and safe apartment with plenty of natural light. My building has a massive dog park that is secure and clean as well. My dog and I go down there all the time to play, get fresh air and socialize with other dogs in our building!

About: I got my first dog in my senior year of high school and helped with all of the training, walking, and enrichment while he was a puppy. I also dogsat throughout college for two golden retrievers and a cavalier king charles spaniel. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes! I have also lived with and helped to care for my roommates cat, and enjoy time with furry friends of either form! I'm currently a PhD Student which means daytimes can be quite busy. I'm mostly looking for morning or evening dog walks or weekend house-sitting. I'm also open to week-long or more house-sitting ventures, but I want to make sure your animals recieve the daytime enrichment they need, which may not be best from me. I can promise I will dedicate my full attention to your fur baby every time I am with them. Whether it's walking your dog, playing with your cat, or watching them for longer, I love playing with animals and will make sure they are happy.
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: As a passionate and experienced pet sitter, I bring a unique blend of reliability, empathy, and expertise to every pet I care for. I understand that your pet is a beloved member of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention as I would my own. With a strong background in pet care, from managing feeding schedules to providing mental and physical stimulation, I ensure each pet’s needs are fully met. My flexible approach allows me to adapt to different temperaments and requirements, whether for a high-energy pup, a shy cat, or a pet needing special care. Choosing me means peace of mind for you and a safe, joyful experience for your pet—because their happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, thoughtfully woven into each part of my day to ensure that every pet I look after receives the attention and care they deserve. My mornings begin with feedings, refreshing water bowls, and a bit of playtime to start each pet’s day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I check in regularly to ensure their needs are met, adjusting my schedule for specific care requirements like medication, exercise, or one-on-one attention. Evening routines often include another feeding, a final check-in, and a cozy wind-down to help them feel safe and secure before bedtime. This routine isn’t just about tasks; it’s about creating a steady rhythm that pets find comforting, reinforcing a bond of trust and familiarity with each pet in my care. When caring for pets in my home or while pet sitting in another person’s home, I prioritize creating a familiar, comforting environment tailored to each animal’s needs. At home, I maintain a designated pet-friendly area stocked with essentials like food, toys, and a cozy rest space, ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed. In a client's home, I adhere to the pet’s established routines and preferences, whether it’s feeding schedules, walking times, or play habits, to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I’m vigilant about safety, cleanliness, and any specific care instructions provided by the pet’s owner, adapting to each pet’s unique personality—whether that means extra play for an energetic pup or gentle companionship for a shy cat. This approach allows pets to feel loved and cared for in a setting that feels just like home, whether it’s mine or theirs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Ville
Ashley has watched Winston and Monkey for me several times now, and I absolutely adore her! She is wonderful with my boys, always reliable, and I never worry about a thing when I am away because I know they are so well taken care of. Having someone I can leave them with and feel completely comfortable is huge for me. I am always so happy when Ashley is available, and I truly cannot recommend her enough!

Ross took excellent care of Rocky, who can be a real challenge at times! He went above and beyond in keeping the house super clean and keeping my potted herbs watered during the extreme heat. So grateful to be able to travel in peace knowing everything will be handled in my absence.

Jasmine was such a blessing and truly met my needs and expectations. She took really good care of Bear while I was gone, playing ball, making sure he had his meds, and fed him each day. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone that LOVES animals!

Julia (TzuYu) did an incredible job with my dog, Sammi. She was very attentive, provided many updates and pictures, and gave her medication without issue. She also made sure that Sammi had appropriate play time/mental stimulation. I would definitely book with Julia again, and would recommend her to any of my friends with furry family members!

Meigan took great care of my dog, Scooby, while I was working a night shift. I reached out at the last minute, and she was kind enough to accept. Scooby felt comfortable with her right from the beginning. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated her care and would definitely recommend her!

Kartik was great with our dog Finn and our cat Theo! He was super communicative, sending us updates and photos every day we were away. I could relax on vacation knowing the fur kids were safe and having a blast. Finn and Theo would give him 10 stars if they could!

Megan went above and beyond for my cats, including the street cats that I leave food out for. Since most of the them are very shy, I was afraid they wouldn't all come home for meals or want to be inside when it got too hot out. Megan put my mind at ease by consistently sending pictures and videos of everyone playing and/or eating. She kept me up to speed with how everyone was doing and genuinely seemed concerned with their wellbeing, which I greatly appreciated! Will definitely book again the next time I have to go out of town.

Can't possibly say enough positives about Porter. Been traveling 40 + years with in-home sitters and no one has come close, to him. He loves what he does. And oh my, how my dogs love him. They sleep in bed with him. That is their routine. He followed precisely every direction that I left him. He also cleaned my house and it looks better than it did when I left. I only wish we had found him sooner. He is a stellar man as well and did the very best job. We are so happy to have found him.

Nicole did a wonderful job caring for my pets! Both of my dogs can be skittish around new people, but they took quickly to her and were comfortable with her in their space. She did an amazing job at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing. I would definitely book with Nicole again!

A superstar! Tiffanie was amazing in every aspect of caring for our family pet during our weeklong vacation in Europe. She sent lots of photos and updates. Our pet is so playful and wants us to toss his toys way more to a before we left - our dog whispered that he wants to see Tiffanie soon! It was a relief to be away and know that he was being taken care of by a caring and adult pet sitter!
