“Our girls had a fantastic time with Jennifer and her pups! Jennifer sent photos and updates every day, putting my mind at ease while we were out of town. The girls loved spending time with Jennifer’s pups, and they got to go on lots of walks and adventures! I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they were provided :)”

“Mary was so accommodating with our nervous pup. We were traveling from out of town - she was very flexible and sent us updates and photos. I wish we lived nearby so our dog could stay with her again!”

“Jordan was amazing with my dog! She sent frequent picture updates, which I really appreciated, and my dog looked so happy the entire time. She honestly didn’t even want to leave her place. I’d absolutely book with her again.”

“Paula is the absolute best! My 2 boys loved her backyard and barely recognized me when I came to get them. Exactly what I was looking for & so helpful. Sent me pics & always responded super fast. 5 stars all around!”


“Jennifer is definitely among the greatest sitters you can get! She was so caring and accommodating. Her cats are also very sweet and sociable, it was great to see how well they got along with my cat Tori. She also sent a lot of photos and videos so I can tell Tori is having a great time at Jennifer's place. Highly recommended to anyone who needs to board their fur babies!”

“We left our dog with Laronna for the second time now and this time was longer. She set up a doggy meet up date to make sure all the dogs that she cares for including her own get along well. This showed she really cared, we also got a tour of the backyard and the space look up dog would be sleeping and playing in. We got plenty of pictures a dnvudeos everyday of our trip. Our doggo had the best time and she was well taken care of. We could not recommend her enough!”

“Sarah was an amazing sitter for our pup. I suspect she may have had a bath at Sarah’s as she came home fresh and smelling good! I had so many pics and updates that I felt very much at ease that Ellie was doing splendid while we were away! Would definitely re-book and recommend!”

“I felt like my fur babies had a great vacation where they were welcomed into the family. I love that the sitter worked from home so that my dogs could go outside anytime they needed. I felt my pets were safe and well taken care of with the sitter.”

“Sherry was incredibly flexible, communicative and thoughtful throughout the process. I highly, highly recommend her service, and I will definitely use her again. If you are considering her for doggy care, book her today.”


“Leslie was outstanding with our dog Molly! She was quick to respond with booking and other communication. She sent pictures during Molly’s stay and checked in. I would highly recommend Leslie!”

“Another great stay for Petey and Daisy at Adolfo's! We truly appreciate the fact that we can leave our pups with someone who treats them as their own. Photos and updates everyday are wonderful! They even got a bath and their beds washed. They were exhausted when they got home so I know they had some great walks and play time! Thank you so much Adolfo for the loving attention you give them - it means so much.”

“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”


“Francie was a great pet sitter. She took in both my pets for a week on relatively short notice and was very accommodating. She communicated well and sent many daily photos showing my pets enjoying their time. I highly recommend Francie and will use her again for my next trip. Thanks!”

“I felt so comfortable with having Moxie stay with Dustin and Maggie’s family. I got plenty of photos of her and she was always happy and safe. I appreciate their care and communication while I was away. I knew my four legged bestie was in the best hands. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl! ?”
“Im so grateful the the love and attention you give Toby, as evidenced by the regular updates, photos/videos and that he is clearly sad to leave you! Thanks for being so flexible with times and last minute requests!!”

“Timmy was comfortable and well cared for while he was with Leslie. She has a wonderful park-like environment right out her front door and two cheerful, good natured cockers to make Timmy feel right at home. He is 14 years old and nearing the end of his life, and he did well while we were gone because of Leslie's big heart and service. She loves dogs, young or old, it is easy to see.”

“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”


“Karen and her little dog welcomed my dog and had a grand time. Daily texts with pictures were a welcome bonus and let me enjoy my time away with no worries! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

University City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla recently kept my pup over the Thanksgiving holiday. This was my pups second stay with Kayla and as with the first stay, care was excellent! I can't recommend Kayla enough. Kayla clearly loves animals and treats your pup as you would like him/her treated. Text & photo updates come in frequently and pups come home tired from play & walks. Thanks Kayla.

Julia and Quentin were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Scooby! While I was busy packing and moving to a new apartment, they took such great care of him taking him for lovely walks in Forest Park, sending me regular updates, and sharing the sweetest photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and loved. They’re both so kind, reliable, and clearly love dogs. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters!

Alexis did a wonderful job with my crazy high energy girl. He walked her almost 5 miles a day to get that energy out and keep her happy, which he certainly did not have to do! He also provided regular updates and pictures. Remi came home happy and healthy. I would definitely use Alexis again.
