Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bellerive
“Francie is an AMAZING pet caregiver/sitter. She shared numerous updates with videos and pictures. Not only was my dog "Granny" well cared for, she had a blast. This was the first time that a family member did not keep Granny for me and I was concerned at first, but all of my concerns were gone with updates. I think my dog misses her buddies that she got to play with.”
“Jennifer really helped us out when my daughter brought her baby to town and was worried about Dougie’s loud barking when the baby was trying to sleep. She kept him a few nights and he seems happy and well-cared for. She kept in good touch and made me feel assured that everything was fine…thanks again, Jennifer!”
“Leah was great! She took my dog in last minute and took amazing care of him! She made sure she knew exactly how to care for him and was very accommodating on caring for him a little longer than anticipated due to my traveling delays!”
“I made some last minute changes and Karen was still accommodating. This was our first “daycare” experience. It went great, the pics and frequent updates were most appreciated:)”
“This was our first time ever using Rover. I’m quite pleased with it and for sure will use this service again! Laronna was so pleasant and awesome. We did a meet and greet a few days before the reservations. I was very comfortable with her right after. She gave me updates and pics daily which was so sweet. I will book again with her in the future. If you’re hesitant like I was in the beginning, she definitely changed that quickly.”
“Uno was in great hands! All the updates with pictures and videos were comforting to know he was okay while we were out of town. No issues and he even met a new friend :) Thanks again!”
“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.”
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
“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!”
“Ebony made sure Creux felt right at home, she was extremely accommodating and very attentive to his needs. She sent frequent updates and I appreciated it. Creux didn't want to come home.”
“Needed a back up sitter while I was out of town for work, Christy is great with dogs and made herself available without hassle. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”
“First let me say, I am one of those nervous dog moms, I felt at ease right away. She sent me pics daily of my baby & a video. You could tell he was happy & made himself at home bc he felt comfortable & loved. It was nice to receive the updates with little tid bits on my fur baby. Ivy noticed the little things about gizmo right away, like his sleeping habits, & that brought my comfort level Way up! Thank you so much for everything. We had also toyed with the idea of extending our vacation one more day lol we will def be rebooking!”
“Tre’Ana was a wonderful sitter for my puppy. It was extremely last minute and she was so patient and caring for my last minute trip and did an amazing job of taking care of my pup. The pictures she sent of my pup and giving me updates you can see how happy he was in her home. I highly recommend her services. With the global computer outage I was running late to pick up my puppy and she stayed up late and was incredibly patient with me. She went above and beyond for a stranger like me and for my dog which is incredibly important so I thank you Tre’Ana for being such a great care taker. I plan on using her again for my trip this week. I recommend you do the same if you want excellent professional care.”
“Mary was amazing with our tiny puppy! He is a handful and has a lot of energy but Mary was patient and took good care of him. Would recommend her to any dog owner!”
“Jordan was amazing with my dog! She sent frequent picture updates, which I really appreciated, and my dog looked so happy the entire time. She honestly didn’t even want to leave her place. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”
“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”

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!

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.
“Alex is great! Communication/updates were amazing, all of my babies were well taken care of. Gave me so much peace knowing I could focus on my trip instead of worrying about my pets and home. Thank you Alex!”
“Karen was fantastic and professional. She came to meet my cat before her drop-in visits and immediately made me and my family feel comfortable. I feel lucky to have found her on my first time using Rover!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I love all breeds of dogs. I used to walk my neighbors doggies for fun when I was little. I've house sat for many friends with animals & plants for long periods of time. I've raised many puppies in my life time. I have two of my own that are now 2 and 5. They're everything to me. There's absolutely no better feeling than hearing the pitter patter of their feet on the floor as they're coming to attack me with love and kisses. I've never been without at least one dog in my household as long as I've been alive and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've also played sports my whole life so I love being active and playing games with the pups. I'm currently working part time so my availability is pretty open for the most part right now. I'm mainly unavailable after 4pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have two full sized crates at my home and a fenced in back patio with great sun for sunbathing. If I'm in your home, I'll respect your home as if it were mine & make sure the babies get soo much lot of love and attention. Picture/ video updates as often as you'd like. ❤️

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bellerive
“Francie was fantastic, plenty of playtime and outside time for my little Gía with other small pups. She was flexible with pickup times and took great care of my little girl. Will definitely use her services again. Thanks, Francie!”
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.
“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 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.
“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.”
“Haile and Alex were so pleasant and informative. This was my first stay and they took the time to let my dog get acclimated with the other dogs upon arrival. They sent pics and videos to make me feel comfortable about me being apart. At pickup time they provided advice based off of what they experienced during the stay to help her next stay be just that much better for my pup. Needless to say her new bestie Evie had a great time and she is down for the count. ☺️ Thank you!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY great with King! He took to her right away and after the Meet and Greet, I was comfortable and convinced that King would be well looked after, and he was. Lauren is very attentive which is great since my fur baby is a Senior dog. You will not be disappointed if you book with her! Thanks Lauren!”

“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.
“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)”

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.
“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: 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: 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 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: 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: 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.
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: I had a dog growing up as a kid and I also took care of my neighbors dogs all the time when they went on vacation. I am a dog lover. I love all dogs they are all cute to me. I am high energy and love to go for walks and runs and love to play with dogs and make them feel happy and tire them out so they can sleep well. I am available almost always and love to help you out as I can. Your dog is going to have a great time on walks and runs or just throwing a ball around for him to chase whatever I can do to make your dog happy I will do. Thank you kindly
“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: 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.
“Catherine did a great job at caring for our dog. When we pick him up he’s usually pretty eager to leave, but before we left he had to go over to Catherine and get extra pets from her ? we plan on using her services again.”
“Annie is amazing. Our pittie, Mishka, stayed with Annie for two weeks while we went abroad and the experience could not have been better! We have trialed a few foods after Mishka had some GI issues and Annie was very communicative about how Mishka was doing on the kibble we recently started. Also, Annie lets the dog warm up at his/her own pace. Mishka takes a little time to warm up to new people and Annie was so patient with him. By the end of the stay, Mishka was sleeping in Annie’s bed! He loves her! We received plenty of pictures and updates every day l. We felt confident that Mishka was in wonderful hands so we could focus on enjoying our trip! 10/10 will book again!”
“Tim and his wife are the best! I don’t trust just anyone with my pup, but when Chester stays with Tim, I don’t have a single worry! I have used Tim time and time again and couldn’t recommend him enough.”
“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!”
“Julia was fantastic! Great at communication and very sweet. She helped my fur baby at a very hard time! I would recommend her to anyone! Very caring and compassionate! Your fur baby will be in great and loving hands with Julia!”
“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”
“Chelsea is the best! I am truly thankful for her love and care of my cat Pippin. He was really comfortable and happy with her. She sent me videos and photos all week and I could see he was happy. That truly helped me to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being loved and cared for. Thank you Chelsea”
“Cyndy and her family were wonderful hosts for our dog, Mando! They made time to do a meet and greet and asked lots of great questions. She was so great at sending updates and I could tell they were taking very good care of Mando. Will definitely use them again!”
“Teddi had the best time ever with Sarah! Sarah gave me daily updates and all the pictures I wanted. She was a great communicator from the start. Teddi already can’t wait to go back. Thanks, Sarah!”
