“Katie was awesome! She took really good care of my baby while I was away. There was really bad weather and she made sure he was safe. He was comfortable and she sent updates whenever we inquired. I’d trust her with my fur baby anytime.”
“Linda and Dwight treat our boy like family and they'll do the same for your dog! I never have to worry about a thing when he's with them, and not only am I usually a worrywart but our pup has special needs as well. Thanks, you guys, for taking loving care of Win and for always going that extra mile. ❤️”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING..... Still doesn't completely sum up the the service Ebony provided for our dog Leo while we were on vacation. We were completely satisfied with her services and will DEFINITELY use her again. From the small things (daily text, and video of our dog throughout the day) to the big things (she called us when she noticed our dog had a little limp), I would say Ebony handles all areas with superb professionalism. I have recommended her to all our family/friends and would also like to recommend her to you. DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER, here is your dog sitter. Thanks Ebony you are ACES. The Reed family......”
“This was the first time Lorri watched our mini schnauzer, Albus. He settled in very well at her house and she took great care of him. Lots of walks, a car ride, spoiled with treats, and plenty of birds and squirrels for him to watch out of the window! Lorri sent us updates and pictures every day which really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away from Albus. I definitely recommend Lorri, I know it was a great "vacation" for Albus at her house!”
“We booked late and it was hard to find the right fit. Francine was not only available but the perfect fit! We wanted to have other dogs around because we felt Odie would be less anxious as it was only the second time we had been apart. He had other dogs his size to play with and a very kind human to care for him. We have a happy healthy dog back.”
“Alycia is wonderful! Our dogs were so well taken care of (including our older dog)!!! We really appreciate being able to leave town knowing that our dogs are in good hands!”
“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!”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Quia was super friendly and accommodating with pickup and drop off times for us. She sent daily updates and pictures which really eased our minds with this being the first time having someone watch our dog! He was so happy and I could tell he enjoyed his time away! Highly recommend”
“Our puppy, Snowie, stayed with Sonja for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier! She sent regular photo updates, made sure Snowie got plenty of playtime, and even kept up with his feeding schedule. The place was clean and safe, and Snowie came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring and professional boarder. We’ll definitely book 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!”
“We had a fairly short notice trip and needed to leave our two dogs for a week. We took them for a daycare first the week before, and they were super excited to go back when we dropped them off for trip.”
“Misty and her family were wonderful and my pup was well taken care of during her stay! Misty gave daily updates and made pick up and drop off so easy. You can tell they love dogs and so warmly welcomed my pup in to their home. I would recommend Misty to anyone!”
“Lindsey was great. My dog texted me a few times to say she was having “a good time at Lindsey’s house.” Can’t get a much better review than that! I’d definitely use Lindsey again. She was a great communicator and sent me pictures during the stay.”
“I will continue to use Brian and Abigail. They are such sweet people and take such good care of Duke. We were on vacation for over 7 days and while I missed Duke a lot, I knew he was in good hands.”
“Annie was so wonderful with our two dogs. She gave us updates and sent regular photos so we knew they were in good care. We would definitely book with her again.”

“Amanda has been watching my cat Anon for a couple of years now when I have to travel or go away on business. I work in the medical field and can get called away out of state on very short notice which can be very stressful not having anyone to watch him but having Amanda alleviates that as she has been amazing and incredibly helpful and reliable. Such a great support!”
“Mikayla did a great job working with all three cat personalities. Even one of my female cats, who can be skittish, was out and about with her during visits. Mikayla was also awesome when we ran into a logistical issue with the home access. She was immediately responsive and made time to go back and spend time with my cats because the logistical issue made the scheduled time shorter. I so appreciated her care and attention to their needs.”
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”
“Sarah was incredible with our two cats while we were on a trip! She was highly responsive and proactive, and we felt like our cats were in really great hands the entire time.”
“Suzanne went above and beyond for the week she watched my kitty. She’s a great communicator and made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby when I went home for the holidays. I’ll definitely use her again next time I’m out of town! Xox”
“Jill was fantastic! I'm a super nervous pet mom. We had a previous pet sitter for years before we moved and had to find a new sitter. I was very worried about our first time away, especially because we have a shy girl who has been a bit nervous since our move. Jill took her time working with our nervous girl to get her comfortable and sent me the best updates every day for both our cats. After a couple of days, I wasn't worried at all and knew my babies were in the best hands!”
“Absolutely wonderful!! Danny and Jennifer were very communicative and quick to respond. They went above and beyond for our cat and I feel very comfortable leaving my little guy with them. 10/10 would request them again. Thanks for the amazing service!”
“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!!!!!!”
“Karen is amazing. I continue to have her drop in on our cat when we travel because she is so kind and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond her Rover duties!”
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She was able to watch our two cats on short notice and came by the house a few days beforehand for a meet and greet. Kayla was so kind and easy to communicate with. She sent pics and notes during each check-in, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend!”
“Sydney you did such an amazing job from day one. The girls didn’t have get to know you. You had their heart from day 1. We did so good with knowing they were in great hands. You gave me all the info I was looking for and sent better pics than I have been able to get. Will use again for sure.”
About: While I have more experience with dogs, I’ve cared for cats occasionally and understand their unique needs. Cats may be low maintenance, but they still deserve attention and care. I’m familiar with their dietary needs, portion control, and even the use of food timers. I also have experience cleaning litter boxes and making sure they stay comfortable and happy. Your cat will get the right balance of independence and affection while in my care.
“Mae always does an amazing job with my kitties! They followed instructions very well, sent lots of photos, and were very respectful of my space when they watched my cats overnight!!”
About: Hi there! I’m Maya, a lifelong cat lover and dedicated pet sitter based in the CWE. Since I was a child, I’ve always had feline companions. I understand that cats are independent but still crave attention, playtime, and a watchful eye. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly or a shy sweetheart, I know how to read their body language and respect their boundaries.
“Maddie is fantastic! I highly recommend her and would hire her again!! She’s very responsive and she took excellent care of my cats. I love that she was available during the holidays and responded quickly to my messages. Also, she would leave a nice summary about her drop-in visits. That made me feel better knowing my cats were in good hands.”
“Sheronica was great with daily visits to our 2 cats including a daily pill for the older of the two. Very flexible and responsive to questions and changes. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have always loved dogs. My husband and I adopted a beagle 5 years ago and we have just loved every minute of it. We go on daily walks, have plenty of toys and dog puzzles. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to monitor and play with your dogs. My Beagle Tommy is also dog friendly. We go outside frequently and supervise outside playtime. I have a friendly beagle who loves to play hard and nap hard too. We allow dogs on the furniture and work from home. We do not crate dogs even when leaving the home.
“I am very pleased Truess met us at the door greeted us with a well warm welcome we chatted for a minute she sent me pictures throughout the day telling me how Sasha was doing. It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely see her again soon. Thank you so much for caring for our baby.”
“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!”
“Ashley took great care of our family member. He was recently rescued and she was very accommodating and knowledgable about his timid personality. She was flexible with our last minute scheduling needs because we didn't even think that we were going to need doggy daycare while on vacation. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I am a full-time engineer working from home and enjoy helping friends with pet sitting needs. I currently take care of a lovely cavapoodle due to their owner’s demanding work-travel schedule and find joy in the company of dogs. I consider myself to be reliable, caring, and give calm energy to anxious dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll follow all care instructions, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have time to provide dogs with the attention they deserve. My job is flexible and easy to manage with fur friends around. I have a fenced backyard and live in the heart of Dogtown, giving your best friend many opportunities to enjoy walks around the neighborhood and Forest Park.
About: In-home insured training, boarding, and daycare business with 10+ years of professional experience with dogs, from working at a shelter, fostering dogs, vet tech experience, training in a commercial kennel, and running my own training business. I am home most days full time, however some days I leave for 2-3 hours for private training clients, in that time all dogs are kenneled or otherwise contained for safety. The dogs have over a quarter acre fenced in yard to enjoy. I do regular activities, enrichment, and occasional field trips to ensure your pup has a vacation as great as your's while you're gone. All my time is dedicated to caring for, playing with, and hanging out with the dogs. I utilize gates and different rooms to separate dogs out to ensure that they are paired up not just as dogs who tolerates one another, but as dogs who truly enjoy one another's company and thrive together. I require all dogs be crate trained for safety at night, meals, and when I have private training clients at the house.
“Ursula was fantastic. She communicated very well with us during Marley's stay at her home. We really appreciated her care for our little dog when we were in Tucson for a brief stay.”
“a big thanks to Keena for taking care of our dog while we explored St. Louis. She took her for two walks, communicated with photos and videos throughout the day. Our dog came home happy! Would highly recommend if in the St. Louis area!”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”
“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”
“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.”
About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.
“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.”
“Hailie was super friendly and easy to work with. I had a last minute booking and she worked with me to make it happen. My pups had a great time with her and her family and came home happy and ready to rest! We will be a return customer for sure! Thank you Hailie.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs every step of the way. After saying goodbye to my own beloved dog of 12 years about a year and a half ago, I’m not quite ready for another full-time pet, but I love spending time with dogs and regularly care for friends’ and family’s pups. I also grew up around horses, where I learned responsibility, animal behavior, and basic first aid and medical care. My home is a quiet, one-story ranch with a fully fenced backyard, no other pets, and plenty of space for dogs to relax and play. I work from home and am committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment with lots of attention, updates, and affection so you can feel confident while you’re away. I have a consistent weekly routine and work from home. My schedule is predictable, which helps dogs settle in and feel comfortable. While I occasionally have weekend plans, I plan my schedule around my bookings and make sure the pets in my care receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, one-story home with a fully fenced backyard and no other pets, allowing me to provide individualized care and attention. I can easily limit access to different areas of my house if needed, creating a safe environment for dogs with different personalities or energy levels. I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Haley was great with my dog! She asked great questions to get to know her beforehand and was very knowledgeable about bigger dogs. I will definitely have her come back!”
“Kyani treated my dog as if she were her own fur baby! My pet was VERY well cared for, and I got detailed updates and pictures for each visit. Definitely planning to book with Kyani again if she’s available!”
“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 around dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been more than pets—they’ve been family. Growing up as an only child, my dog was my best friend, and I took on the responsibility of crate and potty training him. I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, including a pit bull, and I understand their unique needs. I also have some experience with puppies and love learning about their specific care requirements. Whether it’s keeping up with their energy, helping with training, or providing plenty of affection, I’m ready to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me complete flexibility to care for your pet. Whether you need daytime, evening, or even last-minute walks or sitting, I’m fully available to meet your needs. I believe that caring for pets in their home environment is the best way to ensure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. Being in a familiar space reduces stress and helps pets maintain their routine, which is essential for their well-being. I’m dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment wherever I care for them, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply providing companionship, I take the time to learn each pet’s needs and preferences. I understand how important it is for pets to feel loved and cared for while their owners are away.
“Thank you for walking Ted ! I appreciate your swift responses, the meet and greet and flexibility, and being prompt. Thanks for taking him out in the snow/cold! We really appreciate it! Highly recommend Holli!”
“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.”
“Lindsay was amazing! We had to book last minute and she was fully open and flexible with us. Her communication was A+. Highly recommend! And will reach out to her in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.
About: I’ve worked at a pet store for over 2 years, and I’ve been a dog bather for about half a year. I’ve always had pets my whole life but i’ve learned so much about our fur babies in the past few years. It’s something that I can do on weekends nights, and on weekends depending on school and my work schedule. Im pretty open though on most nights! I have a fenced yard with a big german sheppard, and two black cats that roam the house. I am always with my animals to keep them company and keep up there needs.
“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)”
“Taylor was great at communicating and let me know when she got there and then when she was finished. She took a lot of pictures of Mollie which made me feel very comforted. When I got home Mollie was clean and happy and had just got up from a nap on the couch which was perfect! Thank you so much for taking care of my dog!”
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.
