“Blake was very responsive and he’s such a great guy. I feel fortunate we found him on short notice to take care of our Husky. We will definitely be using his services again.”
“Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.”

Everything went great!! They treat Peaches just like family! We are very comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely be contacting them again for future visits!!”

We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“I can’t thank Caitlin and Adam enough for how they took care of our 9 month puppy for two weeks!!

We were able to relax and fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in capable and caring hands. Thank you SO much!!”

“Leslie is the best! She is very flexible and considerate when meeting your pet sitting needs. Her dogs are calm and get along well with others. Leslie also keeps you up to date with regular photo and video updates on your pup. Would highly recommend her!”
“Our 17 year old dachshund spent his last visit with Lesley recently. And the only reason it was his last stay was because we just moved out of state. Henry spent a lot of time being cared for by Lesley over the last couple of years and each time was a great experience for him. We had peace of mind that he was well cared for and content and we will miss Lesley’s care a LOT!”

I appreciated her asking great questions, and receiving periodic photos with updates. Although she was a new caregiver for my boy, I felt he was in good hands.”
“Karen was great with my timid little terrier mix, McKenzie! She sent pictures and updates daily which helped ease my worried mind! McKenzie loves walks and Karen's lovely neighborhood was the perfect setting. I highly recommend Karen and will definitely book her again if needed.”

“Kiffin always does a wonderful job with our puppy! He recently had some medical issues that we explained to her ahead of time, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for during her visit. Highly recommend!”

You even won the trust of our shy cat, something that takes most people a while. Thank you again for all of your effort and care for our crew!”
“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!”

“Susan was great she was very accommodating with my last minute request. She was very communicative & responded quickly. My BoBo is pretty shy around new people but he seemed to relax & feel comfortable. I liked the fact that she only sits for one pet at a time also.she let him have free roam of the house. Thank Susan for taking good care of my boy & having to put up with venting during a bad time. Will be happy for you to sit again when needed. Thank you Stacie N”

“Reema was amazing! Her pup and mine played so well together, it was the perfect play date! She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would trust Reema to watch our girl again in a heartbeat ☺️”
“Lorri took such great care of Charlotte and kept us updated through the day. We so appreciate your loving care & look forward to Charlotte’s next stay with you! Thank you so much!!”

“Ashlie took great care of Rosie! We booked a daycare day with her last minute because our AC went out, and she was so responsive and accommodating! We will definitely be taking Rosie back to her in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs, my own dogs since I was 10 years old. We’ve always had a dog in our home. Up to getting my own puppies and training them. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kiddos and we’re home a lot. We love to be outdoors and playing outside. We’d have no problem letting your dog out or playing with them. I have a big fenced in yard and a very friendly pup to keep yours company! If you would like your dog caged, I can do that as well.
“Holly is so kind and caring! My dog loves going to her house. She watched him for me while I am at work. I really appreciate her flexibility with my schedule since it changed every week. She send photos of my dog throughout the day to keep me updated. Super happy I found her and will continue to use her to watch my dog.”
“Isa took such great care of our puppy! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my puppy with a sitter instead of a doggy daycare. Isa answered all of my questions about the process and gave me the chance to come meet her first. She was also very flexible as I had to book it sort of last minute and didn't have an exact time of when we would be picking up our puppy. Also our puppy was still finishing recovery from a recent surgery, and Isa was very understanding of this and made sure he got enough Rex. I really appreciated Isa's updates and pictures throughout the day, and I know our puppy had a lot of fun as he was very tired when he got home! Thank you again Isa, we will definitely bring our puppy back in the future!”
“Hallie took care of my doggo one day while it stormed really bad and there were tornado touchdowns close and she was great about keeping me up to date on how he was doing and that they were safe.”
“Angel was so great to work with! She was very communicative and she and her family took great care of our pup. She came home exhausted from a long day of play. Angel made sure to send plenty of pictures throughout the day as well! Thank you, Angel for the great care and peace of mind! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I only recently, in the past couple of years, started taking care of other people’s pups, and I really enjoy it. I treat all pups as if they were my own. I am retired. I play pickleball quite a bit, but I am never gone more than a few hours at a time. My husband works from home, so there is almost always someone around to accompany your pup. My favorite part of the job is showering pups with love. We have mattresses on the floor and if the pups are willing, we love to snuggle with them. I typically walk them 4 to 6 times a day, depending on the wants/needs of the pup and the weather. I will be sure to check in multiple times daily with you and send photos and videos. I am very quick to respond to messages!
“My pup did daycare with Raini for 2 days. Everything went great and he was a happy pup! She has a great fenced in backyard for dogs and she sent lots of pictures and videos. This was our first experience using Rover and it was a good one.”
“Raven had a wonderful stay with Greg and Jane. This is a perfect situation for her as she is nervous around other dogs but is comfortable around people. Greg had a sharp eye to get her out for walks duriing the period and in general provided for a tranquil stay. She was in a great mood when I picked her up and Greg had walked her just before my arrival so that she had already gone potty before I came. I'm thrilled with Greg and Jane's attentive care and will try to see if they are willing to care for her in the future. Thank you!”
“Fran has been absolutely amazing with my little guy, Archie!! She is amazingly flexible and has gone out of her way to provide good care for him and to help me with my crazy work schedule! I highly recommend her!!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Des Peres
“Lacy and Piper are always so excited to see Greg and Jane for walks. They are always on time and walk the dogs on the route I requested and give them lots of pets. I will definitely request Greg and Jane when I need dog sitting or the dogs walked.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kiffin. She is kind, dependable, and truly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment she met Leo, it was clear that she cared for him as if he were her own. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional but also genuinely loves dogs, I highly recommend her. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our sweet boy!”
“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!”
“Mike is fantastic, he communicates and sends updates with pictures every time. We have a large (85lbs) German Shepard that is reactive towards other dogs and Mike is always very careful and gives him lots of attention - our pup loves him! He also takes care of our cats and feed them 2x a day. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”
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 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.
“Bailey had been a huge help for my parents! I reached out to her asking if she could take on a new client within 24 hrs due to elderly parents health emergency. She responded within minutes and showed up on time everyday. My parent’s dog absolutely loves her and it has been a huge blessing for my parents during recovery. And for me being out of state, puts my mind at ease that she is helping in a way I cannot. I highly recommend her”

“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!”

She’s reliable and efficient, with great communication through the Rover app. I highly recommend Amber!”
About: I’ve worked one official pet sitting job where I was in charge of walking a mastiff, and 2 labs at one time. I consistently take care of my aunts dog (black lab) and have two dogs if my own, both pugs. Primarily interested in dog walking, but am available to consider other options too I’m off Friday and Saturday, so I am hoping to make those my days I assist in dog walking. I work morning shifts, so I am available on other days, but not in the morning I have a fully fenced in yard with locks on each side to ensure my dogs never get out on accident. They are each fed twice a day and are walked once a day. They also get unlimited pets!

“Candace has been great to work with! She's very communicative, reliable, consistent, timely. Not to mention, she obviously cares very much about my Harvey and takes great care of him! She goes the extra mile to play with him and pet him, depending on his mood, and always cleans up if he's had an accident in the house before she arrives. Candace also takes very cute pictures of Harvey on their walks, which I always appreciate.”
About: I was born into a dog loving family. I have extensive experience with puppies all the way until their passing as I have had my childhood dogs for 15-18 years. One of them sadly passed away 2 years ago and the other needs extensive care now with medications every morning and night. Potty training experience with puppies and senior dogs who need diapers. I know what it's like to take an energetic puppy on a walk to a senior dog who just needs a short walk to get some movement in their legs. I have recently started my own business but still want to pursue my other daily passion in my life as a life long dog lover. I have more dog beds and toys than I can count. Plenty of pee pads, diapers, gates, and a big yard for play time and potty breaks.

About: I have been doing pet sitting since high school and have been a volunteer dog walker for the Humane Society of Missouri for 11 years. I currently have one customer not through Rover and have had more in the past, but I am looking forward to my first Rover job! I love animals (cats, dogs, and other animals). I don't have any pets but hang out with my brother's dog a lot when he is out of town. I walk dogs at the Humane Society on Tuesday but am free most hours and days since I have reduced my time delivering with Doordash. I am looking to build up pet sitting time and can schedule my days around this most days. I can visit your home and spend time with your pet. I can walk your pet, give them food, water, and medicine as needed, and let them outside to go to the bathroom. Your dog will feel comfortable on his or her walk or your pet will enjoy the drop-in visit and time spent with me. I can leave your pet in a certain part of your house or crate at your request.

“Marie was excellent with my little guy. She gave me updates daily as to how he was doing, and I felt so much better knowing he was playing with a loving family rather than sitting in a kennel somewhere. I would definitely book again!”
