“Ebony has kept my Carmen TWICE now, and I am late with my review. I love, Love, LOVE Ebony! Anyone that will put up with the LOUD barking of MY dog gets TEN stars I my book. I appreciate that Ebony is so great about sending photo updates, which eases my mind. She honors my requests and gives my Beagle all the love, care and attention I can't when I have to be out of town. I also think she's super in caring for clients because she is a pet owner herself. She will be my dog's sitter forever!”
“Timothy is an excellent Rover sitter! He boarded our dog at his house for 9 nights. I like that he had us do a meet and greet first to ensure our dog would be a good fit. This was our first time using a sitter and I was nervous at first, but Timothy had great communication and I really appreciated the regular updates and great pictures. Our dog did well socializing and playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be booking with Timothy again!”
“I left my 2 dogs with Lindsey & she made my dogs feel very welcomed as if they were at home. She was very easy to get in touch with & responsive at all times. Her house was clean & dog proof.

Catherine provided a meet and greet for us and the dogs prior to their stay on neutral territory at a nearby park. Her dog, Bodie, is excellently trained.

“Sarah took care of my two cats and two dogs, and I can confidently say she is by far one of the most responsible and reliable pet sitters I’ve had on this platform! From the very beginning, communication was great. We had a meet & greet beforehand, and her willingness to help and make sure she understood my pets’ needs was obvious from the start. Throughout my trip, she made sure all four of my pets were well taken care of. Every pet owner knows you can tell even from pictures whether your pets are happy and comfortable, and mine were clearly having the best time with Sarah! Beyond taking care of their basic needs, she made sure they were getting plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. This was my first time using Sarah’s services, and it definitely won’t be the last. I came home to happy, relaxed pets, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Amanda was so sweet with our kitten and adult cat. She took great care of them, sent us lots of pictures and was so easy to work with. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“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!!!!!!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! Angie came over the evening before our trip for a meet-and-greet, which immediately put us at ease. She took the time to get to know Molly and even played with her so Molly would be comfortable before we left. While we were away, Angie was dependable, caring, and treated Molly like she was her own. Every visit wasn't just a quick potty break—she spent time playing with Molly and making sure she had attention and companionship while we were gone. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Molly was in such great hands while we were in New York. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and genuinely loves animals, we highly recommend Angie. We will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you for taking such great care of Molly!”
“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Paige and I am a PhD student in the St. Louis area. I have two cats of my own that are my pride and joy, and grew up with many others in my home. Whether you have a kitten or a senior cat, I am happy to help you in any manner you may need!
“Latasha was wonderful! All the cats loved her as soon as they met her. She has a natural talent when it comes to getting to know your pets. She sent pictures of our cats to us everyday on vacation and was super responsive on her phone when we wanted to see our pets. It was such a relief knowing that she was here with them. One of the things I appreciated the most was that when we got here it was as clean as when we left it. She took all the notes and she performed the tasks laid out to her exactly like we did with the cats. She also helped keep them on their schedule by following their feeding times. Latasha played with them which is honestly more than I do sometimes. They may have gotten a little spoiled with all the attention lol. Each day she would send images but she'd also send a little story or observation of the cat. That was nice because it helped us to know that they were acting in their usual ways and not sad that we were gone and missed us. I would 1000% book Latasha again. If you've never had a cat sitter (we hadn't) she will answer all your questions and really set your nerves at ease.”
“Mae was extremely communicative and definitely went above and beyond when caring for my three kitties! They fed, played with, and made sure boxes were clean for my babies. My cats looked very happy in the photos they sent, which was much appreciated. I would definitely book again!”
“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”
“Summer was a delight to work with and our dogs loved her! She did as asked and always arrived and stayed for her drop ins as arranged. We would definitely hire Summer again for drop ins with our dogs loved:)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Have had dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Let me care for your fur babies and treat them as if they were my own. ♥️🐶🐱 I’ve been on rover for about 2 years with many different clients and have clients outside of rover as well with friends + family. Highly experienced. I am my own boss for a remote business so lots of flexibility. Available for check ins / walks anytime of day you need. Overnights/House + Pet sitting I can be there full time if needed as well. I treat each animal as if it were my own fur baby - love to cuddle, play, and relax - whatever the pup needs from me.
“Karen is a wonderful partner. I’ve booked her twice to take care of my cat Maggie. Her reliability, honesty and genera love for animals has made her a ‘favorite’ person of mine to contact for pet sitting.”
“Shilah is great! She kept me updated on our animals and gave them lots of love and made sure to spend time with them while we were away. Above and beyond. I could not recommend a better sitter. ❤️”
“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.”

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.
“AJ was great with our dogs Gus and Macey. Macey was very apprehensive when we first left but AJ gave her space and was patient and she warmed up to her and her family after about 20 minutes. Gus and Macey seemed to enjoy their time with AJ.”
“If I am ever in the area again I would 100 percent use her services again! Highly recommend. She took excellent care of my best friend. I am traveling through the area and she was able to watch him for the day with short notice. She sent multiple pictures throughout his stay, and I could tell she truly cares. My baby was safe and loved while I was exploring the city. What more could one ask for!?!?”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care. I pay close attention to each animal's behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines so I can quickly notice when something seems different or needs attention. Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week. I enjoy building trust with animals and providing reliable care that helps owners feel at ease while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs.
About: I have dog sat, fostered or owned dogs since I was 20. I have worked with many dogs that have anxiety, pets with behavioral issues and senior animals . I am very protective and loving. Your dog will be my main priority. I do this full time. Recently, my son moved home and has a five pound Pomapoo . Your pet must be friendly with small dogs. I walk daily and have a large fenced in yard for play. I dog sit full time. I’m generally only gone for a few hours at a time. I am willing to stay home if anxiety/ health issues develops. I have a fenced in yard and walk two miles every day. At your home I would provide daily exercise and stimulation. Lots of love.
“Our puppy loved Quia immediately! She is so sweet and was completely attentive to our dog’s special needs! Super flexible, super communicative, I would trust her any day, with any pet! A+++++ experience! Thank you, Quia!”
“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! :)”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Fortunately, I was born into an animal loving family so I was blessed to have and care for animals of all kinds. Includes but not limited too: hermit crabs, gerbils, fish and more. Since birth I’ve been fascinated about learning how to care for all animals especially mammals/dogs. I truly believe that dogs are a humans best friend and I’ve been potty training, house training, walk training and more since having my first fur baby Tyra (full blooded German Sheppard) at the age of 12 who just passed this last year. I’ve been rescuing animals since I can remember and I’ve been volunteering at shelters and in the community since middle school. Pets are truly my passion & I believe in caring for those who are sometimes unable to care for themselves. If God grants me the opportunity, I would be more than honored and grateful to care for your fur baby as well. Thank you for your time & consideration. Fortunately, I was blessed with a work from home job so I can give most of my time, attention & affection to the fur babies I need. With my own fur baby and when I baby sit others we stick to our schedule and routine throughout the day so they can be physically enriched and mentally stimulated; such as but not limited too 4-6 times of walking, a kiddie pool on hotter days, fruit and or peanut butter treats, new toys and more depending on the specific needs of your fur babies. Thank you for your time & consideration. Regardless of the environment pets are my passion and I will treat your fur babies like my own. Depending on the specific needs I’ll be more than happy to provide extra play time, extra treats or toys depending on trainings such as potty training or walk training so your pup no longer pulls you while you walk. I also don’t mind providing bath time, medications or even taking your pup to the vet or their favorite park for a pup play date. Lastly, I will be sure to provide hourly and or daily checkups so you can relax, unwind and have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy and is in blessed and gentle hands. Thank you for your time & consideration.

“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: 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.

I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. This is my full-time occupation, 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 have always loved dogs, and I had a lot of experience helping with dogs that belonged to my other family members or friends growing up. I have added dogs to the family as an adult and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, and caring for them. I have a bichon-freise and shitzu (teddybear mix) dog as part of our family currently. I have two daughters who adore dogs. I am just now beginning this journey on Rover though I have lots of experience working with dogs and caring for others' pups. I am currently working part time from home, so I have time to play and care for your pup. I can take your dog out first thing in the morning, a couple of times during the day, and before bedtime. I walk my own dog three to four times daily and sometimes take him to one of the two fenced in pet parks in my apartment building. Your dog can join us for whatever seems appropriate to you.

“Chelsea was absolutely amazing. She responds quickly and even sent both pictures and videos of my baby boy! She followed and respected my request on how I wanted my baby to be watched. She is kind and very professional. Will be 100% be booking with her again.”
“Our dogs were happy and healthy when we picked them up after a 10-day stay. Catherine provided updates and pics throughout their stay. Her dog Bodie is great with other dogs, (big and small; we have a pug and a large yellow lab and he was safe and respectful with both of them. Catherine provided a meet and greet for us and the dogs prior to their stay on neutral territory at a nearby park. Her dog, Bodie, is excellently trained. Catherine has a calm assertive energy with the dogs which sets the tone for harmony in the ‘pack.’ We are so grateful for her care and expertise and will definitely return for another stay.”
“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.”
“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”
“Cynthia and Robert were awesome! Very communicative and able to help on short notice. They went out of their way to make sure my JoJo was comfortable and welcomed him like one of their own fur babies. Would definitely recommend and plan to use their boarding services again in the future!”
“Raina was amazing per usual! I can tell Tater Tot always has such a great time and loves to spend time with her and her family. If you are looking for someone who gives ample updates with pictures/videos, Raina is the perfect sitter for you.”
“Carmine and Penelope LOVE going to stay with Linda and Dwight! They go bananas when we arrive and run right into the house like they live there. We are forever grateful to have found such kind and compassionate people. Thank you!”
“She was amazing with my fur baby! They connected instantly and she made sure to send me updates which was helpful and greatly appreciated. I will definitely book with them again in the future 🩵”
“Merium was great for our two dogs! One of our dogs had just had a tooth extraction and needed a little extra care while she recovered. Merium was on top of it and made sure she was as comfortable as possible.”
“My ChiChi felt so at home and so loved! Pictures were sent often. I love pet sitters that are actually PET LOVERS! I will use Ivy again and again! And an added bonus, very close to the airport.”
“Evan and Kaleigh are amazing! I was delayed on the drop off day. They were so patient and encouraged me to take my time getting there. We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”
“Our pup absolutely loved every minute staying with Shaina! Each photo update was adorable and she was incredibly kind and flexible when our travel plans shifted which was an added bonus. We can’t wait to book with her again!!”
