“Leanne was so great! We had a Nashville trip planned and our sitter fell through just a week prior to leaving, but Leanne accepted without hesitation! Communicated daily and gave me all the updates, which calmed this dog moms nerves. With being new to the area, I was nervous on who to send Kodak to during trips but I will most definitely be using Leanne again! Highly recommend.”
“Mara helped us on very short notice and took amazing care of our German Shepherd, Sarge. When we picked him up, he was happy, comfortable, and even a little plump from being so well cared for! He had just started shedding when we dropped him off, and we felt bad about that, but I’m pretty sure she even brushed him out for us. She made sure he was comfortable during his entire stay and kept us updated every single day. I would highly recommend her services! Thanks again Mara!”
“Wonderful experience. They treated my babies like one of their own. They sent a bunch of pictures and provided updates regularly. I had no worries about my pups care, I knew they were in good hands. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Teresa did awesome with my dog. She took her for a walk, outside to play, and let my dog nap on her. My girl has separation anxiety and Teresa made her feel welcomed and comfortable. Thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I must say I have absolutely no regrets! From day one, Leah was amazing! She was super responsive, warm and welcoming. I was so nervous to leave my cat Shai, as cats can sometimes struggle outside of their homes, but from the moment I let Shai out of the carrier, he was on the go! That let me know I made the right decision. Her kids were so gentle with him as well, which was another indication of a loving, safe environment. I am so grateful and thankful for meeting these wonderful group of woman. This will be my go to for pet sitting from now on! Thank you all so much!”
“The highest compliment one can give is returning again. Melanie watched my Mickey over the summer and was wonderful so when I really needed a dog sitter again for the holidays, I felt completely comfortable coming back. Thank you so much for treating him like one of your own!”
“We recently left our two dogs with Tara while we were out of the country for 13 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Tara and her whole family cared for our pups as if they were their own—spoiling them with love, attention, and playtime. This was our very first time using Rover, and we were a little hesitant at first. However, Tara’s regular updates and adorable photos quickly put us at ease and reassured us that we had made the right decision. We came home to two very happy dogs, and we are so grateful for the wonderful care Tara provided. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time with Lydia. She is amazing! Our pup is well loved and taken care of. Great communication. She sent pics and videos to keep me updated. Will definitely use Lydia again! ❤️”
“Katie is amazing! My first time using Rover but she came highly recommended by my son. I really appreciate being able to leave my dog Ellie with someone instead of a dog kennel! Katie sent me lots of pics of Ellie. I will be using her again!! Thank you Katie!!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful and cared for our dogs like her own. She sent us photos of them playing well with her sweet dogs and family. Gave us such peace of mind when we were out of town, would 100% book again”
“Bryan gave us incredible peace of mind knowing our aging chihuahuas were in good hands. He provided daily updates and pictures and our pups did great while we were away. I would recommend Bryan to watch your pup while you are away and I would use him again if we needed it. Thanks Bryan!”
“Our dog Wyatt had a great time with Rachel and Katee this past weekend. They were both so welcoming and it was nice not having to worry about him being at a kennel. He was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Will definitely book with again.”
“Brandon went above and beyond with our dogs! He sent pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again! Very happy with the care our dogs received.”
“Bon Bon really seemed to have a good time when staying with Rayna and Zachary! She played a lot and she loved all her doggie friends. Bon Bon was taken to the dog park which I got videos of her running around. Which I loved because all the pictures and videos made me feel like she was in good hands! My doggo seemed VERY happy ? I will use them again if I go out town! I highly recommend them?”
“I needed someone to watch my 14 yr old dog, who has some anxiety issues on short notice. Amie had some great reviews so I contacted her and she was able to care for him, while I was away. I received updates and pictures throughout his stay. Which made me feel good about the care he was getting. I would definitely recommend Amie as a pet sitter, if you’re in need of one.”
“Kelly was so great with our puppy Luna. We needed care within a short notice for a long weekend and Kelly was perfect. She took Luna to a dog park, took her on walks and spent lots of time with her. She was patient with her new puppy energy and we would definitely use Kelly again. Luna was sad to leave 😊”
“Elisa and her family took the best care of Baxter and I would highly recommend them to watch your puppies. We were nervous as we don't usually leave Baxter but Elisa ( and family & Norman) provided loving care. She sent updates and pictures, which we loved! The sweetest part of Baxter's stay was her sons drew pictures for Baxter! I can positively say, Baxter was a loved puppy! Thank you Elisa, Family, and Norman!”

“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”
“We're new to the area, and needed a sitter to take care of our four cats while we drove our car cross country to our new home. I'm so glad we found Diane! She took amazing care of our two geriatric cats who need pills and injections, and gave us assurance that they were on track with their meds. We got so many excellent photos at each visit, and we knew that our babies were getting lots of play and cuddle time. We'll be repeat customers with Diane again - highly recommend!”
“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”
About: I grew up with cats and have two of my own. I'm patient, observant, and know how to earn their trust without forcing interaction. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or needs special care, I tailor my approach to make them feel safe and comfortable. Plus, I provide consistent updates, so you always know your cat is in good hands.
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
“This was our first time leaving our baby with anyone other than her grandma and we were very nervous. TeAsia eased our worries and gave us daily updates and photos and videos. It takes Sylvester a little bit to get used to people but she took to TeAsia right away. She seemed well cared for and loved. Overall we were very happy with our experience.”
About: I am an Ace certified personal trainer. I am a very active person, so I will make sure your pet engages in lots of play time and gets plenty of exercise during their stay. I have a very large fenced in yard which will give your dog lots of space to run and play. I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hardin

We love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and can't wait to me yours!
“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were friendly, responsible, and flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. My dogs came home happy and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”

About: Hi! I’m Alizée, a stay-at-home mom in St. Peters offering loving, personalized in-home dog care in a calm and safe family setting. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks—no long hours alone. At the very maximum and on special occasions, I may be gone a maximum of 2h a day. I share my home with two sweet senior female Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. Their gentle presence helps create a calm, dog-friendly environment, and I’m very attentive to comfort, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I also bring a healthcare background to my pet care: I worked for 6 years as a nursing assistant and phlebotomist, which means I’m comfortable and experienced with special care needs, including oral medications, injections/shots, and close monitoring for senior or medically sensitive pets. What your dog will enjoy here: 🐾 A safe fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks - no chemicals are used in our yard and we remove dog's waste every other day. 🌳 Daily walks and outings near our local park 🏡 A cozy home environment—never a kennel 📸 Daily photo and video updates ❤️ Plenty of affection, supervision, and personalized care I intentionally keep the number of dogs I host to one at the time (or multiple from the same family) so every guest gets the attention they deserve and feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to care for small to medium dogs, including puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, adults, and seniors, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Make sure your puppy is comfortable with other small dogs, and children. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! Feel free to ask me any questions, I love what I do and I want my clients to know their puppy will be safe and properly cared for at my house. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all day to care for your fur baby. Rarely away more than 2h at the time, your pup will have all the attention and playtime he needs. Our family wakes up early the morning, before 6.30am so if your puppy sleeps in a kennel, he will be out of it at sunrise. If the weather permits, we go for daily walks at the park and/or in the neighborhood. I adapt my days to your animal. So if your puppy needs more or less walk, more or less yard play, or any specific care, this is not a problem. My clients usually come with their feeding instructions and a feeding schedule for their puppy, and I will be applying all the rules they see fit for their animal. I like to keep your animal on the same routine as at your house to allow less stress on them. I have a fenced yard, two elderly female chihuahuas and a child at home. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, I am always with them. I can easily crate your puppy if needed and I am familiar with the app FI that some of my clients already use. As a healthcare professional for several years, I am comfortable caring for older or sick animals. I provide daily pictures and videos to ease your stress while you are away. We do not use any chemicals in our yard and a very limited amount inside the house. Most of our space is cleaned using steam water. We also allow our own pets on the furnitures and your pup will receive the same privilege if this is in accordance with your own rules. We practice separate feeding time/station and separate sleeping area from our own dogs. Our house is equipped with cameras, inside and outside, allowing me to always have an eye on our animal if needed. During walks I do not allow contact with other dogs, and we stay on paved trails (no wooden areas or swamps) or neighborhood sidewalks. Unless it is an emergency, I do not take the liberty to transport my client's dog in the car. *exception will be made if you ask me to do so*
“Melanie was understanding and accommodating when my pup showed sign of illness for our originally planned date, which I was super grateful for. She reached out to customer service to explain the situation hoping to minimize any extra costs on my end.”
“Was nervous cause of my first time using the app but she sent videos and pictures throughout the day giving updates what they’re doing without asking. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Tami. I knew I’d be gone for most of the day and she took excellent care of my high energy border collie/lab, Bella. She sent pics of her playing with another dog which was awesome. I will definitely call her again for all my fur babysitting needs.”
“Kristin really saved the day with her flexibility after we needed to change care for Lola on short notice. Lola had a blast and came home exhausted after playing with the other dogs”
“Phoebe gets so excited when I say ‘let’s go for a ride’ because she knows this routine may include going to doggy daycare @ The Wolf Pack❤️. She gets to play with her doggie friends and gets quite a workout. A tired dog is a happy good dog. So thankful that we found Rachel! Awesomeness”
“Leo had a wonderful time with Harkiran and we were genuinely surprised that he finished his food. Harkiran shared lot of pictures and is very flexible with pick up times.”
“Wendy and her husband did a terrific job of watching my little guy Toby. You can tell immediately they are dog lovers and treated Toby just as one of theirs or better! I would definitely recommend Wendy if you're looking for a good dog sitter.”
“Kasey has taken such wonderful care of Xena. She even provides pictures and updates throughout the day, which is so helpful for keeping tabs on how my senior girl is doing and eating. Xena loves playing with Jolene and hanging out in the backyard, and gets to come home stress-free and tired from a good day of lower energy and much safer fun than a big daycare. Thank you, Kasey!”

I work in a hospital and have a part time job. After 3-4pm I can definitely hangout with your pups. Whether for a walk or go to the park. Provide a balanced and appropriate diet for the pet based on its species, age, and health requirements. Avoid overfeeding. Always ensure access to fresh, clean water for your pet. Regularly check and refill the water bowl to keep your pet hydrated. Engage your pet in regular physical activity suitable for its species. This could include walks, playtime, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and active. Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Regular grooming such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and dental care are essential for their health and well-being. Spend quality time with your pet, provide enrichment activities, and consider socializing them with other animals if appropriate. Maintain a clean living environment for your pet. Regularly clean their living space, wash bedding, and remove waste promptly to prevent odors and maintain hygiene.
