“Julia took great care of Nixon! It seemed like he really liked her and he became super comfortable around her when he stayed at her place! Will definitely book again with Julia if I go out of town again!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Leslie! She is our go-to dog sitter. We get lots of pix and texts about our fur baby, and she always goes the extra mile. Whether it’s making sure the back steps are protected so your dog doesn’t slip, or buying an extra can of pumpkin because you didn’t send enough, Leslie will make sure your dog is cared for in the same way she cares for her own dog.”
“Timmy was comfortable and well cared for while he was with Leslie. She has a wonderful park-like environment right out her front door and two cheerful, good natured cockers to make Timmy feel right at home. He is 14 years old and nearing the end of his life, and he did well while we were gone because of Leslie's big heart and service. She loves dogs, young or old, it is easy to see.”
“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.”
“Jennifer’s place is like a home away from home for my furbaby. She gets super excited every time we approach the street and she has a blast on every visit. Jennifer’s love for dogs really shines through.”
“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!”
“Sarah took good care of my fur baby for the weekend and even made sure I was updated often about how she was doing and confirming that she was taking her medicine! Would book with her again.”
“Our pup was in excellent hands with Mary! She was able to help us out with a last-minute request, and took great care of Sandy - sent us pictures & updates and was easy to communicate with. We won’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Karen was awesome! I’m so happy I found a dog sitter I can trust. She’s not only good with dogs, but has a dog friendly environment that made my dog feel right at home. She also sent plenty of pics and kept me updated. Can’t wait to take a trip again and have a peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“Izzy had a great time with Marie and her family! He loved getting so much attention from Marie, the kids, and other dogs in the home. He was taken on hikes and walks. Great communication and pictures of his stay.”
“This was our dog Boba's first stay with Dustin and Margaret, and we feel lucky to have found them. They are easy to communicate with, attentive, and took excellent care of Boba. They are warm and friendly people with great kids and a lovey home, yard, and neighborhood -- truly everything we want for our dog to have that home away from home experience. Thank you and we will be back!”
“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”
“Penny had a great time. I loved all the pictures and videos Jennifer sent! She even got Penny a Christmas gift. I am so happy to have found someone that takes care of my pup like one of their own!”
“Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”
“Im so grateful the the love and attention you give Toby, as evidenced by the regular updates, photos/videos and that he is clearly sad to leave you! Thanks for being so flexible with times and last minute requests!!”

“I highly recommend Natalee for house/pet sitting. She watched my home and two cats while I was on vacation. While I was gone, she sent me several photos and videos of the cats. The kitties definitely enjoyed her attention in my absence. The house looked great when I returned. I'll have Natalee back when I travel again.”
“Hope took wonderful care of our two kitties over Spring Break! She sent regular updates with videos of playtime and communicated everything we needed to know so we could just relax & enjoy vacation. She is awesome.”
“Mikayla was amazing! She helped us out with sort of last minute drop ins and was super reliable. She kept in touch, showed up right on time, and sent us photo updates. We came home to happy cats and a tidy house. We recommend her!”
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!
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about a stranger watching over my fur baby but Emily was wonderful! She went over and beyond, making sure my cat was fed, loved and played with. Great communication; Emily would send pictures/videos and updates every day. I will definitely book Emily again!!”
“Alena was very attentive and thorough watching my cat! She gave me lots of details and pictures in her Rover cards, which I appreciated while I was away from my cat. I would definitely book her again next time I need a sitter!”
“We were so pleased with Madeline's care for Remy during our time away. After meeting her and seeing our cat curl into her legs, I knew that the bond was already there. We were never worried and enjoyed the photos and knew that we'd find our cat and our home in perfect condition....and that was our delight. We would like to leave Madeline an extra tip for her good work! Thanks Rover and thanks Madeline!! Nancy Chapman”
“Amrutha is the absolute best. She’s been so wonderful to my senior cat, Winnie. She’s reliable, kind, and always takes the best photos of my cat. I’d highly recommend her. I don’t have enough good things to say about her.”
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”
“Alicia did an amazing job with my kitty cat while I was overseas for a week. She communicated well, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and overall made it easy to not have to worry about my sweet girl while I was away and 8 hours ahead. She was also super respectful of my Pinto’s cautious and aloof tendencies which ultimately made my cat more comfortable overall. I came home to happy healthy cat which is all I can ask for. I definitely hope to book with Alicia again in the future.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Kerri was fabulous! We were out of town for almost two weeks and this was the first time leaving our kitties alone with someone who wasn’t family. I was extremely nervous, but my Mom hires sitters through Rover very frequently and has always had good experiences. Hiring Kerri was the best decision I could have made! She came daily to feed the kitties, and make sure their water fountain was filled up. She was great about letting me know if they had any food left, or if they were more hungry when she got there, as well as keeping me updated on how frequently their water fountain bowl needed to be filled. One of our cats, Dolly, absolutely adored Kerri! I was sent lots and lots of pictures of Dolly cuddling and playing, which gave me so much piece of mind! Our other cat, Salem, is extremely shy, and hides from almost anyone. So much so, that most of our family hasn’t even seen him in person before. Though Kerri wasn’t able to see him, as he’s a great hider, and I honestly expected he wouldn’t make an appearance. That didn’t stop her from making a really great effort of trying to find him in all of his favorite hiding spots! As well as listening to see if she could hear him running around at all upstairs. I so appreciate that she looked for him, but didn’t push too hard for him to come out. As he’s very anxious and I think that would have stressed him out even more. Kerri also brought in all our packages that were left at the door and even kept an eye on my plants for me as well! She truly went above and beyond! I absolutely would recommend Kerri a million times over again!”
“My cats were in good hands with Katie checking in on them and spending some time with them as well! She even left some cute treats and toys for them. Katie went above and beyond and also collected my mail while I was out of town. I’ll definitely Italy be reaching back out next time I need a sitter.”
“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.”
“We don’t know who loves Maddie more, us or our cat! Maddie did drop in visits for our cat, Waffles for the past two weeks. She was very communicative, obviously Waffles loved her because Maddie sent photos of them snuggling together! We didn’t worry about Waffles at all because we knew that she was being taken care of so well! It was 10 out of 10 service and will definitely book with Maddie again!”

If there were more stars than five I'd give them all!”

I treat every animal like my own. You can always expect on-time arrival, respectful care in your home, and a photo and update after each visit so you know your pet is happy and safe. As a mom of three, I’m a pro at multitasking, staying calm under pressure, and showing up! I’m currently working around my kids’ school schedules to spend time doing something I truly enjoy — helping other pet parents and spending time with animals. Service Area: University City • Clayton • Maplewood and nearby neighborhoods Rates: Drop-In Visits $17 • Dog Walks $13 • Puppies — $20 per drop-in / $16 per walk 🐾 Intro Treat! Since I’m new to Rover, my walks & drop-ins are currently at “new sitter” pricing — grab a spot while it’s still open! I’d love to meet you and earn your trust (and your pup’s!) — feel free to contact me for a meet and greet anytime! I have morning flexibility Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 8am-12pm. I also have some weekend and evenings open depending on the time. I am open to long or short walks or just drop in visits to feed and check on them! In your home, I will follow your pet's routine that you request — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain their normal schedule and surroundings, especially when you're away. I’m punctual, clean, and respectful of your space, always making sure your pet feels secure and your home is just as you left it.
“I have an older dog with chronic diseases, and Hope has been so great. It is clear she truly cares about her. She has passed on tips from her veterinary ICU experience and has used her own supplies to help her.”
“Molly was really easy to work with and is an experienced pro with dog care. My pups were happy and tuckered out when I got home. I’ll definitely be scheduling again with Molly in the future.”
“I can tell she cares for my dog the way I do when I’m not around! I am so thankful to have found someone that I can fully trust with my pup and with my home. When I leave my house I tell my dog “Virginia is going to come” and he gets so excited and looks out the window to wait for her. She deserves the best review, but I don’t want to share her! She truly is the best and we appreciate her so much!”
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 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’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my neighborhood over the years including overnight pet sitting for my friends. I have lots of experience from puppies to older dogs. This is my summer job so I am able to put all my time making sure your dogs get an enriching walks. I also have access to my own car. I’m a college student home for the summer so I have complete availability during the weekdays from morning to late night walks. I’m a night owl so perfect for any late night walks needed. I will follow direct instructions for what leash or harness to use. I will not go into your house unless there’s instructions to do so and I will be very respectful when entering/ dropping off your dogs!
About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own and previously had dogs, so I understand the unique needs, energy levels, and personalities of both. I offer dependable dog walks while you’re at work and attentive, loving care when you’re out of town. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and routine are my priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I work from home and make my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and consistent with pet care. Because of that, I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and extended visits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’ve also worked remotely from clients’ homes in the past, so if your pet needs extra attention while you’re out of town, I can spend extended time there while still handling my work responsibilities. This flexibility allows me to prioritize your pet’s routine, exercise, and comfort without feeling rushed. At this time, I do not bring pets into my own home. All care is provided in my client’s home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your specific instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to minimize stress and make your time away as smooth as possible for both you and your pet.
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.
“Madeline is so great with our golden, Bilbo! He looks forward to seeing her each week. She is reliable, communicative, and so quick at responding! We feel lucky to have her as a regular walker for our baby.”
About: I’ve taken care of both young and old dogs and cats. I’ve been around and have loved animals my whole life. I’d love to take care of yours! I work part time and go to school, but would have plenty of time to take care of your pets. At the latest, I am always free after seven. But typically am free most afternoons. I would treat your fur babies like my own, I would bend to their needs and based on what you recommend, treat them with the most utmost care!
About: I love animals and am doing this more as a hobby than to make money. I spent 3 summers working at a doggy daycare/boarding. I am the go to dog/cat sitter in my apartment complex, office, and with my friend group. I love to meet new furry friends! I have a very flexible weekly schedule with work. I usually make my own schedule. I work fully remote two days a week and am off by 3 on Fridays. No work and completely flexible Saturday and Sundays! I care for pets by following their established routines and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. I believe it’s important to treat every pet as my own!!
About: Hi there! I am Jessica. I am in major dog withdrawals and I honestly just want to spend time with them playing, snuggling, and going for walks. I will care for them as if they are my own! I have all the patience in the world for dogs. Please let me know exactly what you want out of this agreement. I like to have a great deal of clairty from the beginning so that I am meeting and exceeding your expectations! I have owned and loved dogs as small as 8 pounds and as large as 95 pounds so I am used to all kinds of breeds! Please reach out and we have a conversation if you haven't already decided on me. :) I am working on my own schedule and miss getting out and about with an animal. I have a ton of flexibility and can work around any schedule. I will always act with you animal and in your home as if there's a hundred cameras on me. I have had strangers in my home to take care of my animals and I know what an uncomfortable feeling it can be if you don't yet have the comfort level and trust together put at ease. Let's fix that!
“Laurie was so kind and understanding of my hesitation to let someone else take my dog out of my hands. Olive had a lovely walk, came back nice and tuckered out so that I could continue my work day without worrying about her being bored. We will absolutely be rebooking with Laurie and I’m so glad that this was our first experience with Rover! Can’t recommend enough. ?”
“Alex has walked our dog a couple of times. He is always right on time and takes good care of our dog on the walks. He sends updates and photos. Definitely recommend him to anyone needing walks!”

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.

I would recommend her without hesitation!”
