1. Emily M.
“Emily was excellent! She is the first Rover sitter I had watch my puppy, Charlie, and he loved her! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving Charlie with Emily for a few hours. She took him out multiple times, played fetch with him, and sent great updates and photos! I’ll definitely be contacting Emily again to watch Charlie!”
2. Molly D.
“So great. Our puppy was a bit under the weather and we completely trusted Molly to take care of him. She’s amazing!!”
3. Chris E.
“Chris is an excellent sitter for my dog Jaxon. I had scheduled her for numerous week to let my dog out mid-day normally on Wednesday and Fridays, and occasionally on Saturday. She is very quick to get back to me about new request, and an excellent communicator for upcoming visits. When I first scheduled her, she was very flexible and accommodated my request in very short notice. She also goes above and beyond with the rover card she submits for visit by providing photos of Jaxon and details about the drop in visit. I look forward to continuing to book with Chris in the future.”
4. Alex D.
“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”
5. Lindsey S.
“Lindsey was great with our Charlie and a great communicator!”
6. Brenda B.
“Brenda is great, she gets along well with both of our cats! She spends time to play with each cat and give them attention, and provides great updates!”
7. Emily M.
“We ran into some unexpected issues, namely my front door keypad malfunctioning and locking her out, but she kept her cool and was more than patient and accommodating while I figured out a solution. I felt that my dog was in good hands and appreciated her coming by before to meet me and my dog, and learn the ropes. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Sunny with Emily in the future!”
8. Kylie F.
“Kylie was awesome -- great communication up front as we worked out availability, and then plenty of happy kitty pics while we were gone for the week!”
9. Mackenzie O.
“Mackenzie is actually the best human being ever! Her Rover cards about my kitty are absolutely so detailed and the sweetest with so many pics! Just overall took such good care of my baby and I had so much trust in her like a family member! Will book her again:)”
10. Anne Sophia Z.
“Sophia is terrific! We are repeat customers. She was super quick to respond to my request for care during a last-minute business trip, and she always sends the *best* updates and cat pics 😺”
11. Minal A.
“Minal is wonderful! My cat, Storm, was well fed and his litter box was taken care of nicely. She was dependable, prompt, and sent me thorough updates. I would hire her again.”
12. Izzy Y.
“Izzy was fantastic with our Shih Tzu, Merton. She hit it off with Merton the minute they met. She was very nurturing and had a great vibe about her. Izzy stayed at our house for the weekend and everything went really well. She was respectful of our home, responsible and our dog was so well cared for. She sent us pictures every day so we didn't need to worry. I will hire her again!”
13. Abby M.
“Abby took awesome care of our kitty, Brontë! He has kidney disease and she did a great job giving him his subq fluids! We’ll certainly be asking for her help again!”
14. Allie L.
“Allie was amazing! I had a couple requests at the last minute and she was so accommodating. Her photo updates were great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
15. Vivek S.
“Vivek is an incredibly responsible and compassionate pet lover. He fostered and then adopted an elderly dog, Annie, providing her with a safe, loving home in her later years. For over a decade, he has watched and walked my two dogs (Bella and Charlie <3 ) with such care and patience that I always feel at ease knowing they're in his hands. Whether through a long walk at the park or calming them down during a thunderstorm, Vivek has always treated them as part of the family. There is no one I would trust more with my doggos, and I couldn't recommend him more highly as a dog walker.”
16. David R.
“I have known David for over 10 years, and - during this time - he has become a close friend to me, my husband, and especially our pups! My husband and I are huge dog lovers and have adopted quite a few dogs over the years - some being more anxious / reactive / sensitive than others. David has consistently shown so much love and care to our pups and, as a result, they love and trust him so very much. We call him the dog whisperer. He has a calming presence about him! In the past few years, David has been taking care of our Great Pyrenees, Gunner. Gunner is territorial, reactive, and anxious. However, David gained instant trust with Gunner. We refer to him as "Uncle David" and Gunner gets so excited to see him and never leaves his side. David truly has a gift with animals, and we trust him 100% with all of our fur babies.”
17. Cassondra A.
“Cass is one of the kindest souls I know. They have a boundless love for animals of all varieties and go out of their way to treat any animal kindly and with consideration.”
18. Sydney G.
“To all my travel nurses/healthcare professions in the STL area, Sydney is your go-to-person for your pet. 👏🏼 Her care, communication, and compassion is 5 star. She’s truly someone you can trust with your pet and someone you can trust in your home.”
19. Julie C.
“Julie is an all star!!!! My dog had so much fun going on walks/jogs and playing out in the yard with her while I wasn’t able to be home during the day for over a week. If you get the chance to book her, do it!!”
20. Marli Z.
About: I've dog walked for all sorts of people! Taking care of my two dogs at home, a 10-year-old golden doodle, and a 2-year-old mutt, is one of the things I'm best at! They'd be happy to provide a letter of recommendation too! I am a college student but have a flexible schedule. I am free earlier in the day, before 10 am, and after classes get out around 4 pm. I enjoy walking (preferably with a dog!) after my days are over! I can follow whatever instructions are provided and respect any privacy concerns. I like wearing sandals which can make it easy to take off shoes coming into the house but I've got some heavy-duty boots too for more strenuous dog walking adventures.
