“So thankful we found Misty! We were in a bind, 2 days before we left for a weekend vacation our dog sitter cancelled on us. Misty took our daisy on short notice, asked questions and took notes to make sure she knew everything she needed to about our pup! Daisy spent the weekend playing with her kids and other dog, romping around her backyard, and came back to us tired and happy ? We received multiple pics of Daisy’s fun throughout the weekend. So happy Misty was able to care for Daisy, and we will definitely be using her again!”

“Lorri was an exceptional dog sitter! She provided excellent care for my corgi-bulldog mix, and it's evident that my furry friend had a fantastic stay because she returned home even happier than ever. A huge thank you once again for taking such wonderful care of my beloved pet!”
“Our dog’s second stay with Brian and Abigail went smooth as can be! We felt like Oliver was well cared for and happy to be made a part of their family. Will not hesitate to book again (and again!)!!!”

“Lucy was so great with our dogs. Her communication couldn't have been better, she sent lots of photos, and I could see that our dogs were being well cared for and getting lots of petting and playing at her house. So glad we found her!”

“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.”

“Our dog Winnie had a great time with Dawn! She was very happy when we picked her up! Dawn sent photos of Winnie while we were away and she looked like she was enjoying herself! I would highly recommend Dawn and plan on using her services again when we take our summer vacation!”


“Francie took good care of our dogs while we were on vacation. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up time and agreed to extend the stay when we needed it. Thank you Francie!”


“Judith is fantastic!! Truly one of a kind pet care. You can tell Judith has been doing this a long time and really cares for all animals. She also donates 10% of your pups stay to a rescue - what an amazing act of service.”

“Beth was great! Katie had a good time and it was nice knowing she was well cared for while we were gone for the weekend. Beth was also very accommodating as we didn’t know our exact return time on Sunday.”
“Nicole and Tim were absolutely great! Good communicators and sent photos and updates throughout our dogs stay. She can be a little particular but settled in immediately and it felt like she got her own vacation while we were on ours. Will definitely book them again!”

“Julia seemed very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog for a week in a new place. She was very flexible with pickup and drop off and sent photos during our stay for updates. Would absolutely recommend”

“Cynthia and Robert did a great job taking care of my dog. I felt comfortable knowing my pet was in good hands, and I really appreciated the frequent updates. It gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a reliable sitter!”


“Zaya’s stay with Dave and Cindy was so great! They gave our teenage pup a weekend of fun and snuggles, and gave us peace of mind that she was being well taken care of. Zaya can’t wait to go back!”


“I've never boarded a dog before, so I was a little nervous, but Katie took good care of our puppy. She sent pictures, so I could see how she was doing, which made me more comfortable. I'll definitely board my dog here again.”

“Danny was perfect. He was very communicative-texted with us during/after every visit, shared lots of photos of our kitty, asked questions when he had them, fed her and stayed to give her some love too, and was flexible when I asked him to come a little later on the last day. Highly recommend!”

“Kiffin is responsive, caring, and goes the extra mile to take great care of my pups! Appreciate having her to help get them into a routine at their new home. :)”


“Sarah was awesome! She sent me lots of photo updates and left very detailed check in summaries so I knew my babies were being well taken care of! Highly recommend her!!”

“Nick has consistently visited my puppy now adult dog for the whole school year! He is responsible, attentive and has been a life saver to our family and home! He’s just the best! Thanks Nick!!”


“Alycia did a great job with our kitties. She was very conscientious about following my instructions, highly communicative, and solved issues that arose. Thank you, Alycia!”


“Rachelle did a wonderful job with drop-in visits with my cat, Butters when I was in Florida. Butters requires twice daily insulin injections so I was very happy to have Rachelle to be able to stop in twice a day to give him his meds and some attention! She took several photos for me to enjoy while I was away as well! Thanks Rachelle!!”


“Mason is so good with our cats. They tend to be skittish around other people but they love him. He is a great communicator and your fur babies would be lucky to have him take care of them.”

“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!”

“I am so very thankful for Michael’s services! He takes excellent care of my baby feline, Puddy, when I am away. I never have to worry about my cat when I am out of town.”

“Alicia took great care of Nixon! She sent lots of pictures and had very detailed updates for every visit. Nixon seemed like he really liked Alicia! She was very communicative throughout the process. It was very easy. Thank you so much!!!”


“Brooklyn gave me peace of mind that my cats were well taken care of while on my trip. She’s friendly, diligent and provides great daily updates. She’ll be my first choice in booking in the future!”


“Sarah did a great job taking care of our cat. I loved the daily photos and was pleased to see that Sarah was able to win over our normally standoffish kitty! It gave us great peace of mind to know all was well at home while we were away.”

“Maddie is very nice and gets along with my cat very well. She send pics everyday and updates me on how my cat is doing. There was a snow storm during her visits so we communicated on rearranging certain things in case the snow was too heavy for her to visit. She carried out everything perfectly well. Thanks Maddie!”

“Our normal sitter had a family emergency right before the holidays, and we are so thankful we found Kate in time for our kitties! Two of them need daily medications, and we have had hit or miss luck with different sitters (not from Rover) in the past, but all the cats loved her (even the one that normally hides!) and they all seem to be very relaxed and not panicked when we got home this time! We will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends in the area!”

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.
About: I have a lifelong passion for dogs and years of experience, including caring for seniors and special needs pups. I also have been a volunteer at Second Chance Ranch, a rescue for senior dogs. All new dogs require a meet-and-greet prior to booking. I specialize in calm, small-to-medium dogs up to 25 pounds (I will consider larger dogs up to 40 lbs if they are calm adult dogs who don’t pull on a leash) I am retired so will be with your pet most of the time. Occasionally I have to leave but never for more than a couple of hours. If you are a new client please use this code for $20 off your first booking LORRIM12299, https://www.rover.com/sit/lorrim12299 I’ll take great care of your pet—and give you peace of mind! Your pet will always be safe, whether on a leash, in the car with a seatbelt. I’ll send daily updates and photos, and we can address any concerns together so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Sarah was outstanding! We were visiting from West Virginia and needed a sitter for our 2 dogs so we could spend the day in St Louis visiting the Arch and going to a Cardinals game. Sarah was the perfect sitter for us. She communicated everything to us and gave us pictures and updates. Her house clean and comfortable for the dogs and a great yard for them to play in. Her dog was friendly towards our dogs especially our little dog. I loved the detailed report she gave us after picking them up. If I am ever visiting St Louis again I would definitely use her again.”

“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!”

“Hailie and Alex did a wonderful job looking after Yodi during our brief stop in St. Louis! We were a bit worried about how long it would take him to feel comfortable in a new environment, but based on the pictures they sent and how quickly he fell asleep after being picked up, he had an enjoyable and eventful day! Not only was it clear that Hailie truly loves animals, but their dog Evie was playful with Yodi and helped get all his energy out. We definitely recommend if you're looking for a positive experience for your pet!”

“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.”

“Zinaida and her family were wonderful and loving. They took great care of my boys and took them on several walks throughout the day. She also sent me plenty of photos and videos. I also appreciated that she was flexible with time, and accomodated to my last-minute request. I highly recommend her for dog daycare and boarding!!”


“Viki and her family are wonderful. Our puppy has been going to her for daycare for about a month. He absolutely loves going! He comes home tired and we can always tell he had a fun time! We love having someone we trust to watch our 4 month old puppy. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with her. Thanks Viki for taking such great care of our puppy! We recommend her to anyone who will listen!”


“Summer and her husband are amazing!!!! My baby loves them so much. We has a meet and greet before the 1st visit. Summer kept us informing and updating regularly which gave us peace of mind. Summer is so kind, thoughtful and patient with my baby. Highly recommend and definitely rebook again and again!”

“Alvin is so loved and cared for at Beth’s house. He gets lots of exercise and just loves his buddies there. He knows every morning that it’s time to go see his friends! Thanks for loving our guy!”

“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.”

“This was our first experience using a doggie sitter from Rover but definitely won’t be our last. Brian was wonderful! He was extremely flexible in accommodating our schedule and took such great care of Sparky and Crouton! Loved all the pictures he sent!”

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.
“I have a young puppy (3 months old) and she had a great time. She was well taken care of and will definitely be coming back! I was provided updates and pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend.”

About: I had a dog growing up (Hershey) and helped take care of him. And I have always enjoyed playing with friends' and family's dogs. I absolutely love walking and being outside and would love canine companions to encourage me to do it more! I've hosted one friend's dog at my place already (see pics; that's Georgia sleeping on her little doggy mat in my living room). Overall, lifelong love of dogs + good head on my shoulders = strong instinct for what they need and when. I work from home, and other than a few set calls, I set my own schedule. And I work from a treadmill desk — so when I say I love walking, I mean it! I take frequent breaks to get sunshine and exercise outdoors, so you can expect your dog to get the same! I can keep an eye on your dogs the entire time I have them! I have a fenced-in, upstairs deck (with a staircase that can be easily blocked). And a backyard that is NOT fenced, but where I could tie a leash around one of the deck supports, so your dog can be outdoors as much as they want! Inside, I have a fully hard, vinyl floor upstairs and a carpeted area downstairs, with vinyl flooring in the downstairs kitchen as well. So whichever surface your dog likes to sit on, I can accommodate!
About: So I just love dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and will never not have one. I work from home and am very physically active so my lifestyle works well with dogs as I am around to simply hang out with the dogs or go on long walks if needed! Luckily I work from home as an attorney and am able to provide many walks and attention throughout the day. I also live in an area with a lake and multiple dog parks. I am extremely attentive with any dogs that I take care of. I will provide sitting with care and attention and make sure your dog is safe and taken care of.

“Kiffin is the best! My dog is always so excited to see her and I know is getting lots of attention when i’m gone. She is my first experience with rover and it has been great!”

“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!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. My sweet Charlie passed in 2024 and to fill the void, I am now taking care of other people's pets. I work from home, so I am very flexible in my schedule. I can go to your house for boarding, or your pets can stay here. I love having toys around for the pups to play with. Very pet friendly environment. I do not have any other pets in my home. I only have one booking at a time. I want to make sure to give your fur babies all the love they deserve. Its only me at my home. My son is in college.

“Kyani was excellent. Extremely responsive and responsible with our dogs. She was super easy to work with and even helped arrange taking our dogs to boarding at my request. I will absolutely rebook with her next time I need pet care. Very personable and obviously a dog lover.”

About: Over the past 20 years I’ve owned and cared for dogs (both puppies and elderly), cats, reptiles, rodents, and invertebrates. I’ve rescued a pup and trained a couple high energy dogs, one with a great deal of anxiety and fear aggression.I have experience cat sitting for various out of town owners over the years I currently go to school part time so my schedule is pretty flexible right now. I have a one year old pup who is very active and would love to make some new friends if the opportunity arises. I love to stay active, spend time outdoors, and meet new animal friends. Providing pet care is a job I was made for. Whether in my own home, or in a clients home, I can guarantee that your pet will get the care they are accustomed to. I am a detail oriented mother myself and understand the value of knowing your instructions will be followed and your babies will be safe.
“This is the second time I’ve hired Amber for dog walking and just like the previous time, she did a great job, She’s very skilled with my senior dog and her visits are usually the highlight of my dog’s day. She’s reliable and efficient, with great communication through the Rover app. I highly recommend Amber!”

“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”

About: I am a very pet oriented person, having had cats and dogs in my life since I was small. I am empathetic to when pets need extra reassurance and attention and make sure to go the extra mile to make my furry friends feel comfortable and well cared for. I am currently working part time which enables me with a lot of flexibility and free time to meet your pet care needs. Chances are great I will be able to accommodate your pet visit or pet sitting schedule needs so feel free to reach out and let's get acquainted! I prefer to care for pets in their regular home space to limit their stress. I will be careful to follow all instructions and prefer written instructions for pet care and any light home care needs you have.
About: Hi everyone! I'm Lesley and I'm incredibly excited to work with as many pets as I can! I'm a lifelong animal lover who understands the desire that every pet parent has: to make sure your friend is safe, loved, and having fun! I'm open and flexible to all care levels and personalities, including those with extra needs. I’m very comfortable house sitting and doing daily drop ins, and have several years’ worth of experience doing so. I'll always remain respectful of your space and your pets' individual needs. I’m eager and excited to befriend your beloved pets in whatever capacity you require! My schedule is currently open and flexible, so I’m very willing to work out an individualized plan that’s the best for you and your furry friend. While I can’t board animals in my home, I’m more than willing to do daily drop ins or house sitting. My goal is always to ensure your pet’s comfort and to minimize any discomfort with your absence.
“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.”

About: I have experience with dogs & cats of all different breeds & ages. I have a dog & 3 cats at home & love being around animals whenever possible! I work part time & I have a lot of free time during the day to spend with the pets! I love playing with them or just having them near me when I’m home. I am available to walk the dogs when needed & spend time with them in the yard/play with them inside and hang with them during the day.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth. She took care of my dog for 2 1/2 weeks, sent a photo & comment every day about how Bessie was doing, and it was obvious she is passionate about animals! Because of her experience working for a vet I felt very comfortable that she was giving Bess her medicine, and since Bess is an older dog, she and her family gave her lots of cuddles and care. I won’t hesitate to ask her to dog sit again! Bessie also formed a friendship with one of their family’s dogs. She was very happy there!!”


“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind.

We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”

“Walter and Maddie were amazing dogsitters to our pup, Sunny!

“Great experience! Sarah was very responsive, sent picture updates and was conveniently located near the arch. My dog enjoyed playing with her dog, making it feel like a play date rather than a boarding experience!”
