“Our pit was so happy and calm after a week with Nicole; it felt less like boarding and more like leaving family with family. We are very glad to have found such a safe and comfy home away from home.”
“Jenay kept my 11 month old dog Lucy for a weekend. This was Lucy's first time being away from home. I appreciate Jenay agreeing to me bringing Lucy a few days early to her home to meet her family. Everyone were loving to my puppy. Jenay kept me posted with pictures. She took Lucy for a walk and had plenty of lap time which Lucy loves. My mind was set at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will use Jenay again and hopefully she is available.”
“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ashley was great. She was responsive to contact and cared for my dog like her own. If I need dog boarding services again in Columbia, I would definitely use Ashley”
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”
“Nana was amazing! I got updates and pictures every morning. She followed all instructions to a tee. And she cared for my pup like he was her own. There was a minor medical problem that cropped up that she handled amazingly. I will definitely use her again!”
“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”
“Madeline took wonderful care of our boy! She was very professional and friendly, and we highly recommend her. Especially if you have a smaller dog than can be anxious in a new/strange environment. Hopefully she's not booked the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Shonte was absolutely amazing! I didn’t have to worry about my pups at all, they were definitely in great hands. She kept us updated with photos & videos throughout the day. She really went above & beyond any expectations. Great experience! I would 10/10 recommend!”
“Bianca was a wonderful host on a short notice trip. She took great care of my 5 month old goldendoodle and gave me updates throughout the visit. Her dogs also got along well with mine and I think they became good buddies. Thanks, Bianca!”

“Jill was outstanding! She kept me informed about each visit with the cats, and she sent lots of photos. The photos show that our cats were very happy to spend time with Jill!”
“Sheldyn is so great with our puppy and has been really flexible in spending time with her however she needs - a walk, playing inside and outside, feeding her, etc. We feel so much better her leaving her for work knowing that she will get an enriching, loving visit from Sheldyn in the middle of the day! She keeps us informed, asks questions when needed, and sends lots of pictures 😍”
“Karlee was a fantastic sitter for our two elderly cats. We really appreciated how much attention she gave them, how communicative she was, and how she made sure to let us know if there was something specific she needed to take care of the cats (like finding cleaning supplies for accidents.) We never felt like we had a thing to worry about for our girls while we were gone. I'd recommend Karlee to anybody!”
“Tawnie was awesome! She made sure my boys were well taken care of while I was gone and kept me informed of what happened during her visit. I am really appreciative of her services!”
“Mae was extremely communicative and definitely went above and beyond when caring for my three kitties! They fed, played with, and made sure boxes were clean for my babies. My cats looked very happy in the photos they sent, which was much appreciated. I would definitely book again!”
“Amber is amazing! I truly cannot thank her enough for how great she was taking care of my cat, Beans. He was pretty stressed when I left for vacation for a week and he wasn’t eating. After a few days, Amber took him to the vet and got him the care he needed. She is excellent with updates and communication. You can tell how much she cares. She really goes above and beyond expectations. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future and recommending her!”
“Always relaxed when we are away and Caitlin is in charge of our pets and home. We can tell all of our pets love her, as they are relaxed when we get home.”
“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”
“Keri and her daughter were very friendly and helpful with taking care of our cat for a week. The pictures were great to see and she was responsive in answering questions. We appreciated them and their service!”
“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”
“Nicole was fantastic. I was very hesitant about leaving my babies. She made sure I knew how each day was going & that she was giving them what they needed. My girls are my everything & she knew. I would highly recommend again!”
About: I've cared for cats on-and-off as an adult for the last 8 years. I grew up with cats as family pets, so caring for them feels like second-nature! I tend to be my friends' go-to person for cat sitting and house-sitting. I don't mind spending the day or staying overnight to keep cats company. I follow instructions well, and keeping clean litter boxes & bagging/trashing dirty litter is always my priority!
“Karrie did a wonderful job looking after my two cats (one of whom needs meds and extra care) while I was away for a week! When I came home I could tell that they were well looked after. I highly recommended her, she's a true animal lover!”
About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I have a ton of experience with animals of all types. I am a stay at home mom, so I have open availability! My daughter has grown up around dogs and cats and even farm animals so she knows boundaries very well and is very respectful of animals. We would love to keep your fur babies! Just send me a message and we will see if I’m the right fit for your furry family member ☺️ We’ve recently moved to Collinsville and we have a huge backyard with a privacy fenced in yard! There’s tons of room for your dog to run around and there’s no fear in them escaping. When dogs are let outside I monitor them the entire time and stay outside with them to make sure they are safe! I care for other pets as if they were my own. I make sure they keep to their daily and night time schedules and I make sure each and every animal is loved on and cared for!
“I booked Tayler for my cat who has kidney failure and she put my mind at ease with her experience in caring for kidney cats, administering fluids, and her sheer love for animals! I would highly recommend booking Tayler again because I know my baby is in good hands with her!”

“Keena provided amazing day care for my dog, Jasper. I could tell he how much he liked her right away. Jasper joined Keena and her family for a day full of fun activities. Keena shared so many wonderful photos. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her services again.”
“Nicole was great!! She took my puppy last minute and he had so much fun tagging along with them to a BBQ, swimming, playing with her kiddos, and so much more! 10/10 recommend her!”
“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”
“My first time using Rover to find a sitter AND I HIT THE SITTER JACKPOT! Haylie is super accommodating, delightfully kind, and so easy to talk to! Canela loved her. BOOK HAYLIE, you won’t regret it.”
“Jessica watched our Shih Tzu all day while we went to Our son’s law school graduation. It was first time leaving her with sitter all day. Jessica sent lots of pictures and text updates with really eased my mind a lot!! I would definitely book her again when I return to St Louis !”
About: I have two super goofy, friendly, and loving male Pit bulls. I work from home so will be around pretty much all the time. I take my dogs on a walk mostly 3 times a day but again I’m around a lot and get bored easily so might be 5 times a day :) My dogs are definitely spoiled and should not expect anything less for your pet when I’m watching them! I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special care such as taking medicine. Mostly home all day and night. I work from home so your pet will always be attended too unless I leave to make a quick errand run. My dogs do have cages but they are barely in them. Whenever I do leave my dogs stay out freely but they do well in their cages when needed. They do get along very well with other pets. Small dogs or large dogs.
“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Christina was my first experience with leaving my puppy with someone, and she made it a great experience! She was friendly, quick to respond to questions, and sent lots of photos. I know my puppy was well cared for!”
“My family planned a vacation in the area and we needed a pet sitter for our dog to allow us to visit some places. Joyce maintained good communication and she made sure to give Nina many cuddles and love to make her feel safe while we were away. If you’re in the area or live in the area and you want your pet to be safe and taken care of I recommend you Joyce. Thank you again!”

I am traveling through the area and she was able to watch him for the day with short notice. She sent multiple pictures throughout his stay, and I could tell she truly cares. My baby was safe and loved while I was exploring the city. What more could one ask for!?!?”
About: I run a 5k every day and can handle large or small dogs. For boarding I have 2 acres of fenced in grass nearby where I run by husky at daily. My experience : I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I now have a 2yo siberian Husky, Shryko, who I have off-leash trained for hikes and river adventures. So I'm very active, and my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime. I have a fenced in yard and large living room. 1 dog, 8 month 40lb siberian husky girl who loves company and playtime. Also have a large crate if separation is needed.
About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.
“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”
About: I am a work from home RN which allows me to be present with your babies and give them all the snuggles, treats, walks and play time they could want. My husband and I both have had dogs all of our lives and feel completely comfortable around all types of breeds. We have two dogs of our own and they are so incredibly loved and cared for. We will give you the peace of mind while you are away that your babies are cared for as you would. Since I am home all day, there's very little time your pup will be left alone. I can provide frequent potty breaks, play time and walks. We live on a peaceful 1.3-acre property and are one of only three houses on a long, quiet dead-end street with virtually no traffic. We have a massive backyard surrounded by nature with endless room for pups to run and play! A quick note on safety: While our large yard is unfenced, your dog's safety is our absolute top priority. If your pup is a wanderer or loves to roam, we are fully prepared to take extra measures—such as using long training lines, continuous supervision, or structured outdoor play—to ensure they get plenty of freedom and exercise without compromising their safety. As the proud owner of two dogs myself, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your furry family members. I treat every guest like my own and promise to keep your babies safe, happy, and loved in your absence!

About: I’m recently widowed and looking for a way to get outside and walk more consistently. I don’t like to walk alone so I figured walking with someone’s pet would be a good place to start!

I’m available during the week, during normal school hours.

“Our pit was so happy and calm after a week with Nicole; it felt less like boarding and more like leaving family with family. We are very glad to have found such a safe and comfy home away from home.”
“Jenay kept my 11 month old dog Lucy for a weekend. This was Lucy's first time being away from home. I appreciate Jenay agreeing to me bringing Lucy a few days early to her home to meet her family. Everyone were loving to my puppy. Jenay kept me posted with pictures. She took Lucy for a walk and had plenty of lap time which Lucy loves. My mind was set at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will use Jenay again and hopefully she is available.”
“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!”
“Ashley was great. She was responsive to contact and cared for my dog like her own. If I need dog boarding services again in Columbia, I would definitely use Ashley”
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”
“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”
“Shonte was absolutely amazing! I didn’t have to worry about my pups at all, they were definitely in great hands. She kept us updated with photos & videos throughout the day. She really went above & beyond any expectations. Great experience! I would 10/10 recommend!”
“Matthew cared for my dogs with love and attention. They love playing at his house. He makes them part of his family. It was especially wonderful knowing that through the storm he was cuddling my dogs and making sure that they were not scared. I enjoyed all of the pictures and hearing about my dogs while I was away.”
“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
About: **I currently have two dogs of my own, but they stay at my partner's home if I am boarding your dog!** Hi! I’m a PhD student who has called St. Louis home for the past five years, and I’m currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation. The good news for your pets? I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, belly rubs, playtime, and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away! I am located in The Grove with access to a dog park at my apartment complex as well as walking distance to both Forest Park & Tower Grove Park for pups that enjoy long walks. One of my dogs loves people and dislikes other dogs, while the other one enjoys dogs and is wary of people so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and their differing needs. Whether your pet is a professional cuddler, an energetic adventurer, or simply here for the treats, I’d love to spoil them ◡̈ Since I work from home while finishing my PhD dissertation, pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. 🐾 My schedule is much more “read a paper, take a dog for a walk, write a paragraph, give belly rubs” than a traditional 9-to-5. I can easily adapt to the schedule of your pup! I’m happy to build pet care into my day and give your pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Having a furry coworker around is honestly a pretty great dissertation-writing perk! 😂 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see what your furry family member is up to. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe & happy!
“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Max. He is a senior dog with some health issues and she did a great job looking after him. Elizabeth was very responsive to our texts whenever we asked for updates and she sent us notes and pictures of Max regularly. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Margaret was AMAZING!!! I need someone to watch my Bentley boy last minute and she was the perfect match! Very communicative and sweet. He came home nice and tired lol thanks to her doggy for all the wonderful play time ! I definitely will be rebooking with her! Highly recommend! 💙”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I truly love dogs and have years of experience fostering them through local rescues. I am the go-to dog sitter for friends and family as well as a committed dog mom to a gangly hound named Winston, who came to me as a 10-week-old foster puppy during COVID. Six years later, he’s very much my family. He’s an active, social 80-pound Treeing Walker Coonhound, so I’m especially comfortable with larger dogs and dogs who need plenty of exercise. Winston and I take long walks through Tower Grove Park every day and spend most of our free time outside whenever the weather permits. Of course, every dog is different, and I tailor activity to each dog's age, energy level, and specific needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I am committed to making sure every dog who stays with us receives the same amount of love I would require for Winston! Because Winston will be sharing his home with our guests, boarding is best suited for dogs who — like Winston — are extremely comfortable and friendly with other dogs. Winston and I both look forward to meeting you and your pup(s)! I primarily offer boarding Thursday through Sunday when I have the flexibility to spend plenty of time at home with the dogs in my care. I work from home on Fridays and keep my weekends flexible, so dogs staying with me can expect lots of attention. Monday-Thursday boarding is also available for dogs who are comfortable relaxing at home with my own dog Winston for about six hours while I'm at work. Life with a dog already majorly shapes my days, and I'd welcome yours into the walks, playtime, and snuggles that come with it. For first-time clients staying with us, I'd love to arrange a meet-and-greet with Winston beforehand so we can make sure our dogs are comfortable together and that it feels like a good fit for everyone. I treat visiting dogs like part of the household while they’re here. I follow each dog’s normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I live in a spacious apartment, and dogs in my care get regular leashed potty breaks and walks through the Shaw neighborhood and Tower Grove Park. To keep things comfortable and manageable for everyone, I only accept dogs from one household at a time, in addition to Winston. For the health of Winston and all our guests, I also ask that dogs be up to date on flea and tick prevention. When I've left Winston in someone else's care, no amount of communication about how he was doing — or photos of him having fun — ever felt excessive. I'm happy to send as many updates and photos as you'd like while your dog is with me — whatever helps you feel at ease knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Kelsey and Boen were awesome! They were super easy to work with and we trusted them fully. They provided pictures and updates. They were very responsive and flexible. We’d gladly book them again for future visits!!”
