“Another excellent stay for Bella with Jessica! This is our 2nd stay with her, but it won’t be our last!

We felt at total ease leaving our “kid” in her care… she welcomed doing a meet and greet earlier in the week ( at our request) to introduce our dog to her to before dropping him off later that week. She was very accommodating with our drop off/pickup since we were flying somewhere. Will definitely use her again and recommend to her to other pet parents!!!”
“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.”
“Booked twice already with Jeena! She’s reliable and very accommodating, my pup has alot of energy and Jeena made sure she took him on long walks. Lazer has KCS and she did such a good job on keeping up with his eye medications! So glad I found her to care for my baby. She’s definitely my go to here in STL!”

“Nicole was very accommodating. She made us feel very comfortable with our dog staying with her. She was readily available when we contacted her before the weekend stay and during.”
“Christina is a wonderful sitter. I went overseas for several days, and I wanted to make sure my fur babies were in good hands. We had never used a dog boarding before; therefore, I was slightly nervous. However, Christina made the whole experience effortless, provided me with frequent updates, and overall, I could see that my pups loved being with her. Highly recommend Christina!”

“Lauren is amazing! She’s went above and beyond on her visits with our dog - taking her on walks, spending time with her to play, and taking extra care when she was being a picky eater. She kept us updated with pictures and notes and put our minds at ease. She even watered my flowers. She was a fabulous find, and we will definitely book again with her next time. Highly recommend!”
“Karlee was outstanding! I felt at ease knowing that my kitty would be cared for by her when I was away. She was so patient and thoughtful with my kitty. She communicated any questions and gave me detailed updates on what my cat was up to. Thanks so much Karlee! :)”
“It's great having Mallory look after my kitty! She's excellent with his care and needs, and makes me not worry about my little guy while I'm away which I really appreciate. 😺”
“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.”
“Andrea was amazing! She made a point to meet our cats before we left on our trip. She was punctual and thorough, plus she obviously enjoyed her visits - offering play time, brushing, and scritches. Our cats are shy with strangers so we weren't sure if she'd even see all four every visit, but not only did she see them they all came out to interact! We felt completely at ease enjoying our vacation with her help at home.”
“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!”
“Sterling made sure to send lots of photos and videos of my pet! He made a great effort to play and spend time with her during his visits. This was my first time using Rover/third party pet sitters and I was very happy with my experience. Thanks!”
“Andy was outstanding! I booked him very short notice and he came the very next day for a meet-and-greet! I could tell my sweet kitty would like him. During the booking, he showed up everyday at the exact time he said he would and perfectly followed directions. My cat took to him very quickly, showed his belly, and became very vocal—all great signs! Every drop-in report was exceptionally thorough and had soooooooo many pics! I will definitely be booking Andy again in the future! I just cannot thank him enough :)!”
“Rachel was fantastic with my two cats! It was our first time leaving them for such a long time and she sent great pictures with helpful comments that let us know they were doing. I would absolutely recommend her!!”
“Emily was fantastic! She was super communicative and a natural with our cats. I appreciated her updates and photos! She even cleaned the food dishes, which was totally unexpected but sincerely appreciated. I’d definitely ask her to watch our cats again!”
About: I have two cats of my own and love meeting new cats. I understand the importance of making time to play and making sure litter boxes and waters are clean and ready for them to use. I know how to deep clean litter boxes and am comfortable administering medications if needed.
“This is my first time using Rover. Jennifer made it so easy and was amazing. She looked after my kitty and was super responsive. I really appreciate she helped us with our cat due to it being a small job which can be harder to find someone to accommodate. I will definitely be back when we need help for weekend getaways for our pup and cat. Thank you Jennifer!”

“Christina and her boyfriend have been amazing taking care of our 8 month old puppy! We started daycare recently and our high energy pup comes home every night exhausted from all the fun he had. They have been so flexible with scheduling and willing to work with our long work hours which was such a relief for me! So glad we found them!”
“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.”

“I have used Shannon to care for my dogs 4 times now and every time has been great. Shannon is very accommodating and flexible, which I really like because my life is hectic. My dogs seem to love going there, they rush right in as soon as she opens the door. They are always good natured when I pick them up, which tells me that Shannon is treating them right. She sends me pictures throughout their stay and keeps me updated. I plan on using her every time I need a pet sitter. Finding someone reliable and dependable and caring is a real comfort to me when I have to leave my pets.”
“Nicole and Tim are the best!!! They have really kind, positive, calm energy and my black lab immediately loved them. They were super responsive and easy to coordinate with, and their setup is perfect. Their yard is great with a nice high fence, and as someone whose dog gets into everything I really appreciated how neat and clean their apt was. Most importantly though, Darcy had a great time and seemed very happy and relaxed. 10/10, highly recommend. We will definitely use again!”
“My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!”
About: Hello! My name is Medona but I prefer to go by Ruby! I grew up with dogs in my house and pets have become family members. I literally take them out every time I'm out hiking, shopping, picnics, etc. I have experience working with kids and the elderly so I am very patient and responsible. As a person who loves what Utah has to offer, I would love to have a buddy with me to hit the hiking trails. I'm more than willing to work along your regular schedule for your dogs regarding feeding, walk, and medication time too. As a dog owner myself, I get very anxious about how my favorite boy is doing so I usually send daily updates to make sure you have peace of mind. My partner takes care of my dog (Mani) when I'm watching other pets so there would be no interactions with Mani unless you feel comfortable! Contact me with any questions and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! :) I'm currently working a full time job but can come during lunch breaks to check up on them. My weekend starts at noon on Friday.
About: I've watched pets for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and will love them like they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am currently a stay at home spouse and looking for ways to make extra income doing something I love. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and will make the time to make things work. I have a cat that seems to get along with other animals, but haven't put it to the test too much. I have walked and pet sat for several clients with bigger dogs and that have special needs and am comfortable with them all. I do always try and do a meet and greet before our first visit so your pet can get to know me before they are left alone with me.
“Nicole was an excellent host. I booked a last minute trip and she was able to work with me so that my trip went as smooth as possible. She took amazing care of my pups and provided me with constant updates. I would highly recommend trusting Nicole with your fur babies.”
“Judith was amazing and communicated well throughout the entire process. We felt our dog was in great hands with her and know he was super spoiled. She went above and beyond and sent us daily photo and text updates. We will definitely be booking with Judith again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Hailie was super friendly and easy to work with. I had a last minute booking and she worked with me to make it happen. My pups had a great time with her and her family and came home happy and ready to rest! We will be a return customer for sure! Thank you Hailie.”
About: I have always grown up with pets in my life and love learning all about the different breeds and personalities a dog can have! I love spending time with animals and find that the best parts of my day involve playtime and cuddle time with my pup! I have a large backyard where your dog can play and get their zoomies out along with a dog pool for the warmer days! I have a quiet and calming area in my home for your dog to take a break or a nice long nap as desired. My flexible work from home schedule always ensure that a potty break or midday walk is never missed! When your dog is in my care, they will be loved just like my own! I currently work from home and make my own schedule. I am always available for any pet care that’s needed, including potty breaks, a quick treat, or just to give some belly rubs! Since I work for my laptop, I can work from any part of the house which includes being outside while your dog plays and soaks up the sun. During the weekends, I spend my time playing with my dog, going to the dog park, or cuddling on the couch. If this sounds like something, your dog would enjoy, they would fit right in! I have a partially fenced in backyard with only one side of the yard not being fully fenced. I have a yard steak that can be put in the ground that extends throughout most of the yard so that your dog can feel just as free as if the yard was completely fenced. When my dog is outside, I am either outside with her or watching her from the big windows in my home that face the backyard to always make sure she’s being safe. During the day, the doors are always closed and treats are always put up to avoid any overindulgence or escaping the home when I am unaware.
“Ashley took great care of our family member. He was recently rescued and she was very accommodating and knowledgable about his timid personality. She was flexible with our last minute scheduling needs because we didn't even think that we were going to need doggy daycare while on vacation. I definitely recommend her!”

About: I can do it all from big breeds, to small breeds; from happy breeds, to sad breeds. I’ve also got experience in tending to aggressive animals or animals who react out of fear so don’t worry! Growing up, I had an aggressive pup who people refused to come around and it made things hard on me, I want to give ALL pet parents a chance to feel safe knowing their aggressive or reactive dog is in good hands. I know the do’s and the don’t’s! Animals are a passion and if I could have every animal in the world, I would! Give me a shot to take care of your baby and you won’t regret it! I’m an active duty military member, but I work in a 24hr shop so my schedule shifts a lot. However, that is no issue for me as long as I have a heads up from my clients! I will work with them to create a schedule that best suits both me and the animals! Your animal is now a priority of mine(: I have a 6” vinyl privacy fence with a very large backyard. I have 3 dogs of my own and can accommodate some animals in my home. However, I will need to have your animals formally meet mine before making that decision so that we don’t put anyone in harms way. I will also request an updated shot record for any animals entering my home and will provide you with the same(:
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

About: For years my neighbors have relied on me to take care of their four dogs when they are away for weekend trips or even for trips that last over 2 months. Each one had their own personality and I was able to adapt to it and get along with them well. Over the years I have also had my own pets and have taken care of others. I have taken care of animals from cats, snakes, guinea pigs and most of all dogs. I am patient and contempt with taking care of dogs. In all, I've had a lot of experience with animals! I adore animals all the like and have had the best experiences taking care of lovely pets. I'm a part time worker but that's only on the weekends as I have night school. That leaves me plenty of time in the day during the week and weekends to check on your fur babies. I will be able to drop in later at night at around 9:30-11 p.m. If ever in emergencies, I have a fenced yard that is very very roomy for a dog who loves to run around and play outside. I am more than happy to drop into the clients home and even help clean and pick up after the place for comfortable living for their fur baby. I don't make messes and will no matter what pick up after myself. I will always address to the client in emergencies.

About: Hello there and let me give you an introduction towards my experience and me as a person👋 - Experience wise I have raised over 45+ foster care animals in my family household growing up ranging from Pugs to Rottweilers to Great Danes to Belgian Malinoise to Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to GSP's and many more breeds, and have previously petsit for friends and family. I also have professional work experience from my previous job working at Country Estate Kennel in Shiloh for about half of a year as an Animal Technician and I am currently working at No Leash Needed as an Animal Technician/Supervisor registered under the National Veterinary Association (NVA). I am also certified for Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid which covers Seizure Care, CPR Instructions, Instruction on how to deal with wound care, and how to check for signs of overheating or choking as well as how to deal with them if the situation ever arrives to ensure your pets safety to the fullest of my ability. - I am experienced in dog bathing, low level grooming (brushing, combing, light trimming, removing matted fur/hair), and so forth. I also am trained in and familiar with giving oral medication if your pet has that as a requirement, such as seizure medication, diabetic medication, and so forth. I also will give walks for each animal if preferred for free for your pet if you are booking me for house sitting, and lastly I also do trimming of nails as well. - I am glad to offer truly professional care, while maintaining a good relationship with my clients as I understand that our pets are like our children to us, and if they are to be under my care, I see them and take care of them as though they were my very own pets such as my Foxfire Lab Rylee and my Mongolian Gerbil Hiro. When it comes to my schedule/availability I update my schedule regularly every few days. I do not accept drop-in's or dog walking for before 11 AM or after 8 PM. My availability for meet and greets are anytime between 11 AM and 8 PM with variation given based on my work schedule. Those are my only time restrictions on bookings and meet and greets. When it comes to my pets my Mongolian Gerbil Hiro requires checkups regularly and a well maintained habitat with proper calcium-free sand or reptile sand. Shes generally low maintenance but very spoiled with treats and wooden houses that she can use to take care of her teeth so they don't overgrow. My Firefox Lab Rylee is very energetic so I often play fetch with her outside and take her on walks. If she isn't running laps around me she's typically watching TV with me on our couch. When it comes to your pet I would like to be told what behaviorisms and daily rituals they are familiar with in your household to make them most comfortable and what their favorite activities are so I can make the most out of your pets experience in being taken care of and give them a safe and happy experience that feels familiar to their everyday. Every pet is different, so please let me know what is part of their individual regular schedule!

“I cannot recommend Matthew enough for his exceptional care and attention to detail when it comes to taking care of furry friends. Knowing that your beloved pet is being looked after with such love and care allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I loved the pics provided and updates. He really made him feel loved and part of his family while dropping in.”

About: I have been surrounded with dogs since I was born! My family had a golden retriever when I was younger, and we currently have an 11-year old corgi mix, an 8-year old labradoodle, and a 5-year old golden retriever. Finnley, the five year old golden, is my personal dog who I trained, walked, cleaned up after, and took care of. In addition, I lived with a 3-year old boxer last year who I helped take care of and spent a lot of time with. Besides my personal pet experience, I volunteered at the Partners for Pets shelters multiple times where I took care of dogs and cats. I also frequently take advantage of the Adopt a Dog for a Day option at the Oxford Animal Rescue Center whenever I feel overwhelmed or have a free day. Besides volunteering, I had a personal business at 15/16 where I watched both kids and animals for families in my neighborhood. I took care of multiple breeds and ages of dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. My availability is completely open until June 1st, when I will start a part time job at WashU! With that said, I am still available any weekday after 4, and all day Saturday and Sunday!! At my house, all of my dogs are trained to stay in the yard. All three get treats when they come in (because they are such good boys) and are fed twice daily. My older dog has gum issues that makes his teeth painful to use, so I put his food in water and let it soften so he is able to eat it pain-free. For walks, the two big dogs go on a joint leash and the smaller dog goes on a leash by himself. Distance wise, I take into account if the ground is hot on their paws and the temperature outside to determine how long the walk will be. We love to go to dog parks and play, as well as cuddle and lay out in the sun together.
About: I currently have 2 dogs and have had dogs my whole life. Both of my dogs are very high energy so I am used to keeping them busy. My male dog is 3 years old and he requires a lot of love and attention. He is great with kids and other animals. My female dog is 6 years old and she's a very anxious girl. She prefers to be the only pet but is extremely affectionate with people. I have experience with small and large dogs from puppy to elderly. I am comfortable feeding, grooming, walking, and caring for your pets. My availability is flexible. I am willing to stay at the owners home so the dogs feel safe in a familiar area. I am available for daily walks or extended stays. I have experience with special feeding and medication routines for pets if needed. I also have experience caring for more than one pet in the same home that are on different schedules or need to be kept away from another pet in the home. I will treat you fur baby like my own and they will be well cared for! I'm currently in the process of going back to school so I am not working a scheduled job right now. My availability is flexible. I'm available for daily check ins and walks. I'm also available for extended or overnight care throughout the week and all weekend. I will do all of my care at the client's home per the client's instructions on their pets needs and will provide care in the way the client specifically wants their pet cared for. My availability is open and very flexible! I can take last minute requests, overnight stays any day of the week, can stop in multiple times a day to check on your pet if needed. I will do my best to accommodate any situation and make sure to take great care of your dog/cat! I will give your pet lots of love and attention! I will make sure to follow any instructions or requests while I am caring for your pet(s). I like to send daily pictures and updates to give you piece of mind while you are away. I always keep notes with your normal routine with your pet as well as any other information I need to know while caring for them. Before caring for your pet(s) I like to spend some time with them during a meet and greet because it is extremely important to see how your dog or cat responds to me before I am hired to care for them. Being a dog mom myself I would want to see how my dog responds to someone before I made the decision to hire them. Your pet(s) safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priority when caring for them!

“Another excellent stay for Bella with Jessica! This is our 2nd stay with her, but it won’t be our last! I really appreciate all of the photos that Jessica sends - this greatly alleviates any stress of leaving our fur baby. You can tell that Jessica takes care to make a comfortable environment for the pets she watches and ensures they get plenty of exercise and love.”
“Matt and his daughter took fantastic care of our pups Kenzie and George. We really appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and attention to their personalities. 10/10”
“Walter and Maddie were great! They were very warm and welcoming to our old lady, and their two dogs are very sweet. They provided daily updates and good communication. Our dog had some overnight accidents and they were very understanding and worked with us via messaging to address her needs. We were very comfortable and confident that our pup was in good hands.”
“Shannon was fantastic! She communicated well with us while she watched our boy! She sent pictures to show he was doing fine! We felt at total ease leaving our “kid” in her care… she welcomed doing a meet and greet earlier in the week ( at our request) to introduce our dog to her to before dropping him off later that week. She was very accommodating with our drop off/pickup since we were flying somewhere. Will definitely use her again and recommend to her to other pet parents!!!”
“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.”
“Puff was a happy dog when I pulled up to pick him up! Kelli was easy to communicate with, sent adorable pics and house was spotless…let’s not forget her apartment is close and very convenient!”
“Nicole was very accommodating. She made us feel very comfortable with our dog staying with her. She was readily available when we contacted her before the weekend stay and during.”
“Christina is a wonderful sitter. I went overseas for several days, and I wanted to make sure my fur babies were in good hands. We had never used a dog boarding before; therefore, I was slightly nervous. However, Christina made the whole experience effortless, provided me with frequent updates, and overall, I could see that my pups loved being with her. Highly recommend Christina!”
“Nugget had the best time at Marie’s house! We got so many updates on Nugget’s adventures. Her family is awesome and so great with dogs. Can’t wait for the next time!!”
“Ben was a life saver! We came from out of town due to a family emergency and Ben accepted my last minute request to watch my two big boys so that I was able to stay with my mom at the hospital. My dogs had a blast with Ben too! Can’t stress how thankful we are, 10/10 recommend Ben!!”
“Ashley and her family took the BEST care of our 3 dogs! They had lots of indoor and outdoor time and got to play all day. The dogs really loved this family, and they all came home happy. Ashley is a great communicator w/timely updates & pics of the pets hanging out. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“My husband and I went on vacation out of the country for 2 weeks and felt completely comfortable having Sarah watch our 2 dogs during that time. They got plenty of attention, cuddles and love while we were gone! Very thankful for the great care Sarah provided, we won’t hesitate to request that she watch them for future trips as well!”
“10/10 would recommend! I traveled from out of state on short notice, and she was happy to help. Large fenced in back yard for outside play time. Sent pictures of their adventures (walks). Is easy to communicate with. We will hopefully stay again soon.”
“Gia had a great time at Laura’s! She got home 2 days ago and still hasn’t fully recovered (in a good way lol). Laura takes good care to keep the doggos busy so they don’t get anxious or miss you too much. Gia got to play with multiple new friends and probably learned a thing or two. Laura is really good about sending pics and videos - and she is very responsive if you send a message to check in. Would definitely use again!”
“Rachel was amazing with our new puppy! We were nervous to leave for the weekend and Rachel put our minds at ease. She was so caring and attentive with our puppy and kept us in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone needing care for their pets! ❤️”
“My dog, Milo, had a great stay with Misty and her family. She was quick to answer any of my questions or check ins during his stay and took pictures. Milo looked very happy and seemed to be in good spirits and well taken care of when I picked him up. I felt very comfortable leaving Milo in Misty’s care and will definitely use her again should Milo need care in the future.”
“Kelsey was awesome! My pup had a great time with her dog and family. Korra came back totally exhausted and is still sleeping off her time with them! Kelsey was also very accommodating and was able to hold Korra for an extra day when we got stuck in an airport. Will totally using her again ?”
