Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bel-Nor
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bel-Nor
“We were a little nervous because we hadn’t boarded our oldest, Spark Plug, with a stranger before. But Jennifer’s house was the perfect place for him while we were gone. From the many photos, videos and written updates that we received (and very much appreciated), it looks like both of our dogs had a blast playing in Jennifer’s backyard and napping on her couch. Jennifer’s confidence and easy going attitude also helped put us at ease when we dropped our dogs off at the beginning of our vacation. Thank you!”
“Francie was amazing! Gave updates every day and eased my anxieties about leaving my babies with a rover sitter for the first time. I highly recommend her and will use her services next trip :)”
“Leah did a fantastic job all around. She was very warm and responsive when I first booked my appointment. Met Sam and I outside so he could get to know her. Let me in so I could see how he'd be staying and meet her dog. She answered all my questions and sent messages and photos during his stay. I highly recommend booking with her, and will do so again myself in the future. :)”
“Karen was very warm and welcoming. Her home was so dog friendly, with a great back yard. She has friendly little dogs and lots of dog toys. I loved getting the photos of Zeus every day. He clearly had a great time. We'll be back! By the way, Zeus is a coton de Tulear.”
“Cait did a great job! She stayed in touch and went above and beyond to make my dog, who struggles being away, completely comfortable in a way other sitters haven't been able to. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Larrona and her parents are loving & caring. My Trudie really enjoys being at her place. She is flexible and accommodating. I’ve booked multiple stays and each time exceeds my expectations. She’s a keeper!”
“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”
“Raina was a wonderful sitter. Our dog Toby was very happy at her house, and even made some new dog friends. Raina looked after him very well and sent lots of updates, pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing well. I would definitely use Raina's services as a sitter again.”
“Never any doubt that our dog wasn’t having a great time. Made our vacation so much more enjoyable, can’t thank Christy enough. Will defiantly message her next time we need a puppy sitter!”
“I could tell Ruby enjoyed her time with Laura and her family! Laura was great with communication and sending photos and videos. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jordan is a wonderful sitter who takes great care of Nala. I feel completely comfortable each time I drop off Nala to stay with her. I appreciate the consistent updates and flexibility in scheduling.”
“She is always so happy to see my dog and provides great customer service! We call her Auntie Ivy, showing much love and respect for all the dogs she cares for. Plenty of space to play and mingle.”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me
“Leslie is a fabulous pet sitter! She updated me often with photos and I really appreciated that. She also followed up with me about when to bring our dogs home and she was prompt and reliable. I highly recommend Leslie. We actually have her already booked again for a future stay.”

“I came home to a happy and healthy kitty!!!!!! Taylor was very easy to communicate with and it was so great to know my cat was being taken great care of while I was away!!!!!!”
About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!
“Murphy took to Jolene the minute she sat down for our Meet & Greet. That's a rare response for him as he's usually shy about meeting new people. I could see from the photos she so kindly sent me while I was away, that they became friends right away. Jolene was also very accommodating as I realized a slight change to our schedule would work better for me. She didn't hesitate when I asked her to modify the plan a bit at the last minute. It's an enormous relief to know that when I do need to leave my goofy cat again, there's already someone out there who 'gets him, and cares about his well being. I can highly recommend Jolene if you are looking for a reliable, gracious, thoughtful, pet sitter. I myself plan to call on her again the next time I need to go out of town.”
“Amazing, Amanda was kind and a great communicator with me. She took a lot of care to ensure that my Cat was entertained and not lonely during her visits with her. Thank you Amanda!”
“Suzanne was amazing she did everything I asked for my baby and she came on time, she was communicating with me the entire time and sending me pictures. Very good energy I trust her and would book her again in the future! :)”
“My second time working with Alexandra. She's always prompt and accommodating. And my little babies like to play with her. It took one of them a little bit of time to warm up... Cats... But now she probably won't be able to keep them off of her lol Thank you”
“Jacqueline took great care of my cat when I was away from home. She listened to and followed the instructions very carefully. She was responsive to my messages. My cat seemed very comfortable with her. I would book her again.”
“Karen is awesome and I highly recommend her. She did everything we asked and more which gave us peace of mind while out of town. We will certainly use her services again and recommend her to anyone who is in need of such services. Rover rocks...”
“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends most of my life, but especially in the last 6 years. I’ve become the go-to person to care for friends’ pets and feel comfortable following detailed care instructions. My aim is to provide peace of mind while you are away from your beloved pet(s). My seasonal job allows me to spend all day with my pets and I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. That means long walks, lots of playtime, and reinforcement of their training. For cats, a routine is key and I love getting to see their personalities come out as I gain their trust. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks in the neighborhood and bringing him to nearby parks for a change of scenery.
“Quia cares about her customers and our fur babies. She came down to our car to check on my daughter because we had lost our other cat a few months ago. Such compassion 🥰”
“Natalie did a wonderful job watching our cats while we were out of the country for a week. She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of pictures and video. Our house was left in perfect shape and I know the kitties enjoyed hanging out with her!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bel-Nor
“Fran has been absolutely amazing with my little guy, Archie!! She is amazingly flexible and has gone out of her way to provide good care for him and to help me with my crazy work schedule! I highly recommend her!!”
“Cooper loved his stay with Karen, as always! We decided to have Cooper go to a sitter very last minute so that we would be freed up for our moving day. Karen was very accommodating and flexible with pick up and drop off. Thanks, Karen! :)”
About: I’ve been dealing with animals literally my whole life. I went to a technical school and I worked at a doggy daycare for 4yrs.Dogs are my passion/therapy. Im trying to save up enough to continue my education. I’m currently working as a part time dog groomer Mondays/Fridays, a little busier after holidays . I’m still available to do check ins every 2-4hrs for potty breaks on those days. My home is very spacious, plus I have a dog park within walking distance. I prefer dogs that’s kid friendly as I do have a toddler.
“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”
“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.”
About: I took many online classes on proper safety for boarding/ daycare with multiple dogs. You want someone active and fun, who loves dogs unconditionally? I'm your gal. Walks, games, positive reinforcement training and mental exercise are all included in my time. I'm a creature of routine. My house gets up at 6am sharp. We like structure and in the dog world, you can't function without it. I used to work for a dog daycare and because I feel so strongly about the safety of dogs, I'd prefer small, safe groups over large groups that are no good for your dogs health. I treat your dogs like my kids. We play together, take naps together, get some exercise and I even like to teach good habits with positive reinforcement! Dogs are my best friends.
“Hallie took care of my doggo one day while it stormed really bad and there were tornado touchdowns close and she was great about keeping me up to date on how he was doing and that they were safe.”
“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.”
“Isa was awesome with our baby, Olive. She took great care of her and Olive always came home sleepy and happy. She would be so excited when she saw Isa every time I dropped her off. Would definitely recommend Isa for your fur baby.”
“Julie was a life saver! We were stood up by our original sitter, and she took Yuna in last minute. It felt reassuring to leave Yuna with her. Even though it was just for the afternoon, it seemed she got along with Julie's dogs and was exercised enough to have her sleep all throughout our road trip back home! Also kept us updated with pictures which was great.”
“Pickup and droppoff was easy. From the beginning she handled Ace with care. Once we got home he laid down which is great because I asked if she could get some of his energy out and she definitely did. She also kept me updated throughout the day which I did appreciate. Will definitely be booking again.”
“My pup did daycare with Raini for 2 days. Everything went great and he was a happy pup! She has a great fenced in backyard for dogs and she sent lots of pictures and videos. This was our first experience using Rover and it was a good one.”

“Taylor has been a fantastic support for me and the new pup. She is prompt and consistently arrives on time. She is also communicative and flexible. I appreciate her help when I can't be there for my 'kiddo.'”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life, and all of them have been rescue pups with very unique personalities and backgrounds. Because of this, I'm a patient and loving pet parent. I have taken care of senior dogs, and those with health challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with incontinence issues, and I've changed lots of doggie diapers (disposable and washable). Outside of my full-time job, I work as a volunteer & social media manager for a St. Louis-based dog rescue group. I work nearby, so I can take your pet outside for potty breaks as needed. I think it's important to have playtime as well, and we've got plenty of toys for your pup to play with! I have a fenced yard, with an additional dog-friendly area (with dog grass) in case of inclement weather. Does your pup wear potty pants or a belly band? No worries, they'll be cared for - just like I care for my own.
About: In my house growing up there were many different cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, gerbils, and even a tortoise. I also have experience taking care of chickens and pigs. I love pets and I have been missing mine since I moved to St. Louis in August. I work every weekday from 10-645 so I am free after that. My weekends are open. I am totally free on most Saturdays and Sundays. I will make sure that I have all the information I need before I start watching a pet. The client's contact, neighbors contacts, any additional necessary phone numbers, etc. I will make sure I know all I can about the pet before I am left with them.
“Quia is excellent in how she handled Snacks, a 95 lb Akita with a lot of energy. She took charge right away and calmed him down. A true professional. Thank you so much, you are the BEST! Andrea McCartney (MsAMac)”
“Sarah went above and beyond and notified me of a leak in my kitchen when she came to walk my dog. Without her prompt attention the water would’ve continued flowing for several more hours!”

About: When it comes to your pet, I understand they are family. I have had experience with vacation care, walking, and even a simple drop-in for that needed time of the day. Arrange of all dog types and needs, even cats! I love all of them! Whether that be age, breed, or special needs they're all part of the family! I work with my own schedule! I am usually flexible with just an ask away! Weekdays and weekend mornings are all free roam! Morning or earlier afternoon is preferred but just ask if you have a request! I offer drop-ins and dog walks. I like to treat the home with the same amount of respect that I would expect someone to walk into my home with and the same goes for your furring family members! They are the priority, as they should be!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, but honestly, it started way before that with my childhood sidekick: a stubborn little Scottish Terrier who ran the house. Since then, I’ve had experience with all kinds of pups—zoomie machines, cuddle bugs, picky eaters, and even dramatic divas. Whether your dog wants a new best friend or just someone to toss treats on command, I’ve got them covered. Safe, fun, and belly-rub approved! My current availability is weekdays from 8:30 AM to 4 PM for Drop-ins and I’m available all day on weekends. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need throughout the week. Your dog will be in a calm, pet-free home with lots of love and supervision. I keep things safe, clean, and comfy, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines or crate your dog if that’s what they’re used to. Their comfort and safety are always my top priority!

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since high school. I have house sat with animals as well as just dropped in to feed them and walk them. Family friends, relatives, and friends of friends have always trusted me to help out. I’m currently a graduate student looking for extra work taking care of your pets. Weekend sitting works best for me but depending on location I can do drop ins as well. I have an apartment with plenty of sidewalks nearby and plenty of green space around. I am warm and welcoming to all pets and want to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I currently have no other pets of my own.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two college students, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. As a flexible part-time worker, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions with care and attention to detail—just as I would for my own pets. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience with a wide variety of animals, including both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to overnight house sitting. I was a regular sitter on my neighborhood’s babysitting and pet-sitting list for years before moving to St. Louis last year. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure every pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on break from college at USC so I will have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Experience with all dogs of different ages and sizes. Also I have Worked at a few doggy daycares and was also a dog bather over the last couple years. With working in the doggy daycare field I have experience with administering medication if needed. As of now I am working a full time schedule so my services of walking and play sessions are only limited to my days off which are Sunday,Mondays and Tuesday. But with these 3 days my number one priority is making sure your pets get the most of they’re play sessions and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and environment. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, receive adequate exercise, have clean water, and get lots of companionship.
“Sarah was AMAZING. We had a spontaneous day trip the pups couldn’t join, and Sarah fit them in her schedule last minute! She made time to meet them while we were home so we were all more comfortable. My timid baby hid in his bed and almost refused any walks, water, or food. Sarah was patient and knowledgeable, and was able to coerce him out and appropriately rewarded him. Her care, communication, and adorable pictures kept us from worrying about leaving our babies overnight. HIGHLY recommend!”
About: Profile Highlights 🐾 Lifelong animal lover (my first word was “dog”!) 🐾 Experienced with dogs and small animals (rats and other pocket pets) 🐾 Reliable morning, evening, and weekend availability 🐾 Comfortable with multi-pet households 🐾 Patient with shy, nervous, or senior pets Reliable dog walker and pet sitter who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. In fact, my first word was “dog”! I grew up in a household where caring for pets was part of everyday life. From a young age I was responsible for walking our dogs, feeding them, making sure they always had fresh water, and handling the less glamorous tasks like cleaning up after them. That early experience built habits of responsibility and attentiveness that I still carry into caring for animals today. I currently have two dogs and two pet rats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and care needs. Living with different types of pets has taught me how important routine, patience, and understanding are when it comes to keeping animals happy and comfortable. Every animal has their own personality and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and respected. I’m comfortable adapting to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and slow to warm up. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits that can include feeding, fresh water refills, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with basic tasks like cleaning up after pets or refreshing litter/bedding for small animals. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning visits, evening walks, and weekends, and because I live nearby I’m able to provide reliable and consistent visits. I’m naturally detail-oriented and dependable, and I always make sure pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions are followed carefully. I know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send photo updates and quick check-ins after visits. Animals are truly one of the great joys in my life. I will treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until their favorite person comes home. I currently work a flexible 9-5. I can reliably do walks in the mornings and evenings and potentially at lunch if it is nearby. I am free to spend the full weekend with your pups too! Every pet is unique! I will do my utmost to follow your care plans to the letter and treat your animal with compassion and care while keeping them safe!

About: I am a dog lover with grown children just 10 minutes from Lambert Airport. Your dogs will have free reign of the fenced yard and home. I have baby gates strategically placed in case we would need to separate them yet still have the enjoyment of family life. I have a large kennel available for comfort at night and when I am away if they prefer. Your dog can enjoy walks to the park for exercise and boredom busting or running if they prefer to stretch there legs (I am up to about 3 miles running). I also keep a kiddie pool full of clean water for the dogs who like to splash and cool off. I have 2 friendly dogs myself who are always up to having company. My 19 year old daughter also lives in the house, she is also a dog lover and has gone to training classes at the human society. She enjoys training dogs and teaching the dogs sign language. About this sitter: Mom to 2 grown children and 2 furbabies. I do work full time remotely at home. I volunteer with Special Olympics and St. Louis Track Club. I enjoy gardening and walking with my dogs. Why I love dog sitting I have always loved dogs it was not until I was 13y.o. when we came across a dog that was going to be shot because he did not want any females that we convinced my Dad we needed to save that dog. That was 46 years ago. Since then I have had one-three dogs in my home ever since. They are family.

“Briana seriously saved us! Our original sitter canceled the same day right before our spring break trip, and Briana stepped in without hesitation. She kept us updated with pics and videos the whole time and was so friendly and easy to work with. Our dog Nyla enjoyed her stay so much! Especially the walks and dog park! We’ll definitely be using her again! Thank you sooo much Briana!! We appreciate you a lot!”
“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!”
