“Janey takes good care of my dog Lucy. She is very attentive. She takes her for walks. Lucyenjoys playing with her children and especially with her dog Koko. She sends pictures and communicates well. I never worry when I have to leave her with Jenay. My mind is at ease.”
“Laura was such an amazing host with watching my dog Aspen for a few days while I was out of town. It’s hard to find a sitter but Laura didn’t hesitate to take my dog in, I got tons of videos/pictures of my dog and updates as well! Such a wonderful experience and I’ll be sure to book with her again!”
“I do not have enough words to say how incredible Jessica was with my anxious corgi, Nugget! She was so attentive to his command words, what makes him nervous/comfortable and she even thought of things I hadn’t considered to make him feel comfortable there. She most definitely treated him like her own and he absolutely adores her! (And he is not fond of many people) she was wonderful about sending updates and keeping us connected while we were away. My sweet little boy absolutely loves her and we will be coming back soon!”
“Matt is a braver soul than me! He took my pups over the 4th of July weekend. He always sends detailed updates of their days. His house is clean and well taken care of and his kids are charming and friendly with the dogs! I have two large dogs (60+ lbs) so it's always a gamble how they will react when they see a small pony with teeth boynding at/around them! 100% definately recomend this sitter!”
“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!”
“10/10. Communication was great, my dog seems to have had a great time. Plus NaNa was very accommodating considering I booked last minute. Thanks again!”
“Simone was great with our pup! This was the longest we've ever left him so I was a little worried about how he'd react. She made him comfortable and he always seemed happy if every picture/video. She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“I’m just going to say a quick review as I already left a long and great review for Julia after my other booking. She was wonderful and I highly recommend her. My BoBo loved her and didn’t wanna leave. Thanks, Julia 💕💕💕”
About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.
“Nala had a great weekend! She was very kind and caring about her and really wanted to keep Nala as comfortable as possible by keeping her home routine as much as possible. Will book again!”
“If I could give Jamicia 100 stars, I would. My dog Chuck got the ultimate VIP treatment and is depressed now that he is home. 🙂 Jamicia is the only person I will leave my fur baby with. She is genuinely the very best.”
“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”

“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Laronna was fantastic! She was communicative (videos and pictures really gave an extra touch) and my dog had an amazing time. She was very well taken care of and I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”
“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”

“Tawnie was so sweet to my cats and took plenty of pictures. She did additional things for me and communicated with me every visit with pictures. I hope to use Tawnie in the future.”
“Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kaylee was so wonderful with our senior cat, Holly! Holly already misses her. ☺️ We knew she would be the perfect fit at the meet-and-greet when shy Holly came out from under the bed to eat treats from Kaylee's hand. Kaylee is very kind and patient with animals. Holly was given playtime, brushing, and treats daily along with her dry food and prescription wet food. Kaylee sent photos and videos every single day at the end each pet-sitting check-in. Her communication was consistent and excellent, allowing us to truly relax when we were on vacation. It gave us reassurance knowing that Kaylee was enjoying her time with our cat and that Holly warmed up to her so quickly. When we got home, we couldn't believe how clean everything looked! Kaylee also brought in our mail and followed all of our instructions for Holly. We will definitely hire Kaylee again without hesitation! She truly has a heart for cats and other animals, and for people too!”
“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!”
“Caitlin did a wonderful job with our kitties. We just moved to the area so it's always nerve racking finding someone new to watch your pets. She put us at ease immediately, sent plenty of pics, and our cats warmed up to her quickly. We will definitely be using Caitlin again!”
“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! :)”
“Jill was amazing! Great at meeting our needs, working with our cats’ feeding schedule, and very communicative. She stayed longer than was necessary for the service we requested. Highly recommend!”
“Sherill has been a huge help with getting our new puppy adjusted to being home without us during the day. Mabel loves her drop in visits and we appreciate her patience with the puppy energy over the first couple of weeks.”
About: I’ve had a lot of past experience dog and cat sitting for family friends at a younger age, as well as taking care of my own pets! I’ve always loved animals and would do everything in my power to make sure you AND your animal have a great experience! 🩷 I am a full time culinary student so I am usually busy in the mornings! But I am only taking online classes this summer so I am free most days. I’ve had cats ever since I was a little girl! My cat Casper has been with me for almost 8 whole years and I’ve had Bigby for 6 months! I just absolutely love playing with animals and making sure they are as happy as they can possibly be. All my animals are spoiled little babies and I’ll do just the same for yours :)
“Andy was a fantastic host to my cats over the holiday break! Very communicative and kind, and was super helpful with remaining flexible to my changing travel plans. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Melanie has watched our cat Daisy several times. With Melanie I always know Daisy is in good hands with lots of pets, treats, and play time. Melanie is a prompt with communication and always sends pictures of Daisy.”

“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had pets since i can remember. There’s never been a time in my life i haven’t had a cat or dog! As I got older, I began shaping a better life for myself, for them! I’m just trying to give my dog the yard she deserves 🫶🏻 I’m between jobs right now so my schedule is yours! I’m excited to take time and do things i enjoy, including caring for pets 🐶🐱 I have a fenced backyard and two pups who are the sweetest little fur balls ever. I have three cats who live like kings (and queens) inside, who stay out of the dogs way and watch from their perch as the doggos do their things. I never want my animals to feel bored so i keep an abundance of perches, toys, beds, and even the television for them to access all day.
About: My grandma surprised my siblings and I with 4 cats when I was 6, much to the dismay of my parents. I’ve had indoor and outdoor cats, kittens and seniors. Hyper or shy, I know exactly how to read a pet’s personality and always prioritize comfort and safety.

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.

“Mallory was so awesome with Butters’ walk. She gives me updates every walk and she made sure to read Butters needs for walks during these hot days. Thank you so so much. hope to have Butters’ walks again with you soon.”
About: While my specialty is cats, I've also had a bit of experience with taking care of dogs. I recently started voulnteering at a local shelter to gain a bit more experience. I've also done some dog sitting for friends and neighbors. Currently, I don't have a traditional job so my schedule is super flexible. I'd be happy to take care of your fur babies any day of the week. I understand that cats have wildly different personalities and will do my best to make them feel comfortable while I'm around. I will spend time with them in whatever way they prefer, whether that's playing, petting or just existing quietly in the same space. With cats especially I do my best to be a calm and quiet presence and unless I have to give them medication or something where I have to get in their personal space, I usually let them come to me to reduce the risk of stressing them out.
About: I am a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience, including volunteering at the Humane Society. I provide dependable, caring walks and treat every dog like family. I work full time for the St Louis Blues but I have an hour long lunch, work ends at 4 pm and I have most weekends available. I grew up with dogs my whole life so I am more than comfortable around dogs all shapes and sizes. I love to walk so they'll get plenty of exercise. I volunteer at the humane society so I feel more than comfortable creating a safe environment. I live alone and have no pets so I will be able to give your dog my full attention.
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 cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old. I’ve been taking care of them ever since! I have been watching other dogs since I was a teenager. I’ve pet sat a good variety of dogs, from border collies to labs and teeny little Pomeranian mixes! I have a good deal of availability during the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I teach private lessons on Monday and Friday afternoons for a couple hours, otherwise my other jobs provide me a good deal of flexibility, so that I can pet set as much as possible! At my home our dogs have an electric fence, and have been properly trained not to cross the invisible line. I have also lived in areas where dogs are fenced in, and even with neither type of fence and just a long chain attached to the ground. Regardless I will take care of your pet regardless of the outdoor situation. I am pretty physically fit, so I can carve out some good time to take them on walks, long or short! I follow your instructions to the T when it comes to specific needs and potty/bed times. I will come to you and do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is happy and safe!
“This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.”
About: Animals have always been a major part of my life from cats to dogs to toads, I love them all. Over the years I have always had indoor cats and dogs in my care that have ranged in age from newborn to senior, energetic to unwell and everything in between. When I’m not caring for my pets or others, I’m a work from home artist and volunteer at the humane society as a foster and dog walker. Take comforting in knowing I would treat your best friend right. Currently I work from home as an artist (predominantly pet portraits) and can set my own schedule leaving me with ample availability for bit time or day and days throughout the week. I have a three acre yard with a large fenced in area, my dogs are extremely friendly and there is lake access that my own dogs use for swimming very often
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I have gotten into pet sitting more this last year and people have trusted me to stay with their animals for a week or more at a time! I love helping others who needs someone to care for their pet while they are busy. I have very open availability throughout all days of the week so I am able to visit and care for animals as frequent or as long as you would like! In my clients home I always care for their pet using the instructions they give me. I can walk them as often as you’d like and feed them on a certain schedule if needed. My biggest concern is making sure my clients feel comfortable about leaving me with their pets.

I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats. It has a king size bed and lots of windows for bird watching. I only book one family's cat or cats at a time. I have excellent reviews and references. Thank you for your consideration. This is my full time job. A labor of love. So, caring for your companions will be my top priority. You can feel confident and secure while they're in my care. I will accommodate your companions needs and your requests. All pets are kept safe and attended to at all times. I am trustworthy and reliable.
“If I could give more than five stars I would! What a great sitter! Dependable, available, and so professional. Emily is my go-to. And my doggies found a new favorite person ❤️”
About: I don’t currently have a fur baby of my own so I am looking to care for others’ furry family members. I will love, pamper and care for them as I would my own..... I am looking for long-term relationships, however I would be happy to fill in on a short-term, temporary basis as well. I have a fenced in yard and live close to many parks. If your pet needs one-on-one attention, I am willing to accommodate and only take in one family pet at a time. Your fur baby would get a lot of TLC and one-on-one attention. I have plenty of time in my life to care for and play with your furry family member. I have a fenced in yard. Live close to three nice parks-Carondelet, Jefferson Barracks, Lemay Park. Small dog park in the neighborhood. Lots of places to play nearby. I work part time outside the home. I will be gone for a maximum of five hour blocks when scheduled to work away from home. I have a fenced in yard. My home is very pet friendly. Many pet pillows and toys to choose from throughout the house. I am selective about treats I purchase for my guests. Puppers allowed to be on furniture if the owners are okay with that. I have Ring cameras to keep an eye on the fur babies when I’m away and love to share those videos with the family.
About: In 22 years, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, horses, hedgehogs, etc, etc. I love all creatures of any shape, size, or temperament. I will adapt to your pets’ personality and boundaries and discover how to make them feel the most loved! I am taking college classes online, which means I entirely make my own schedule! Day or night, I will make time to love and care for your pet. I work 2 days a week and can often move my shifts around with advance notice. I always let the animal come to me first. The most important thing is to let them know that they can trust me, so that I can learn more about what they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I follow the lead of the pet, whether it be fast-paced walking, stopping to sniff every tree, or relaxing on the couch for an overnight stay. I’m very attentive to an animal’s communication and would love to build a trusting relationship with your pet.

“Janey takes good care of my dog Lucy. She is very attentive. She takes her for walks. Lucyenjoys playing with her children and especially with her dog Koko. She sends pictures and communicates well. I never worry when I have to leave her with Jenay. My mind is at ease.”
“Laura was such an amazing host with watching my dog Aspen for a few days while I was out of town. It’s hard to find a sitter but Laura didn’t hesitate to take my dog in, I got tons of videos/pictures of my dog and updates as well! Such a wonderful experience and I’ll be sure to book with her again!”
“I do not have enough words to say how incredible Jessica was with my anxious corgi, Nugget! She was so attentive to his command words, what makes him nervous/comfortable and she even thought of things I hadn’t considered to make him feel comfortable there. She most definitely treated him like her own and he absolutely adores her! (And he is not fond of many people) she was wonderful about sending updates and keeping us connected while we were away. My sweet little boy absolutely loves her and we will be coming back soon!”
“Matt is a braver soul than me! He took my pups over the 4th of July weekend. He always sends detailed updates of their days. His house is clean and well taken care of and his kids are charming and friendly with the dogs! I have two large dogs (60+ lbs) so it's always a gamble how they will react when they see a small pony with teeth boynding at/around them! 100% definately recomend this sitter!”
“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!”
“Simone was great with our pup! This was the longest we've ever left him so I was a little worried about how he'd react. She made him comfortable and he always seemed happy if every picture/video. She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“I’m just going to say a quick review as I already left a long and great review for Julia after my other booking. She was wonderful and I highly recommend her. My BoBo loved her and didn’t wanna leave. Thanks, Julia 💕💕💕”
About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away.

I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.
“If I could give Jamicia 100 stars, I would. My dog Chuck got the ultimate VIP treatment and is depressed now that he is home. 🙂 Jamicia is the only person I will leave my fur baby with. She is genuinely the very best.”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”

“Anthony took great care of our girl for a long weekend. He accommodated a late booking request and meet and greet when our other sitter had to cancel unexpectedly. During the stay, he communicated updates and pictures to us daily. Our pup was spoiled with multiple walks per day and given lots of attention. We will be booking stays with Anthony again!”
“Wonderful experience with Nicole. She was very communicative and helped us out on fairly short notice over a holiday weekend. All three of our dogs were happy and seemed to have had made themselves right at home when we arrived for pickup. Thanks Nicole!”
“Katie is the absolute best! She was Dolly's foster mom and her dog Eva is super sweet. Dolly always comes home happy and tired. She truly treats her like she's one of her own.”
