Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dixon
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dixon
“Thank you so much! My pup Koda always looks so serious so the pics you sent thru out his last minute stay are incredible! I appreciate he got to be with a family vs a kennel, at at a great price 😁. I will definitely bookKoda with you again!!”
“Rick was a great sitter for our two dogs. He has a big backyard with a lot of room for them to run and sends daily pictures of them having fun! I had some issues with my phone connecting to Rover when I was away and Rick was very professional and polite to help me resolve those issues. I highly recommend Rick to watch your pups and he takes care of your dogs like they are his own!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Manny. Thanks for all the updates and pics. This was his first time being apart from us and we are happy he did good. We will definitely use your service again. We cannot say thank you enough.”
“Brody had another great weekend with Robert! I received pictures throughout the stay and my dog was well taken care of. This time I opted for pick up and drop off service and Robert took the utmost care in making sure Brody and my apartment were safe.”
“McKenzie was very professional, responsive, and she sent updates and pictures as well as was flexible when we had to drop our dog of a day early. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Do not hesitate to book Landree. First day of me and my son’s vacation and someone complained about my dog barking in the pet friendly hotel we were staying in. (she’s a bit co dependent). I was at a loss and pretty close to just calling the whole trip, I decided to give rover a shot and found Landree. I was so paranoid my girl Nahla has a very special place in my heart. Landree went above and beyond to accommodate me so I felt comfortable leaving her in her care. She worked with my schedule, sent me videos frequently, and responded very quickly. On the second day my 7 year old said “she needs a five star review” after we watched one of the videos she had sent of her playing with our girl. Thats exactly what she’s getting. I’m so appreciative me and my son were able to enjoy a much needed vacation knowing our dog was safe and happy with Landree.”
“Adria and her husband were excellent with our pups, Rhea and Rocket! They were super thorough in preparing for them by asking questions and very communicative throughout the stay. We absolutely loved the photos and would highly recommend this sitter. Thank you both so much for the peace of mind that our fur babies were well cared for while we were out of town.”
“Karen is outstanding and welcoming! Very lovely and safe farm for the dogs to enjoy during their time away. We set up and meet and greet the day before and everyone got along and bonded like instant best friends. Extremely kind and compassionate giving updates and photos of the fur babies having fun. Onsa was sad to leave after 4 days. We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend using Karen’s home for pet sitting. We will only use her with entrusted care for our dog.”
“100% recommend. She’s so nice and really makes you feel comfortable about leaving your fur baby there. She’s has a big yard for them to play in and had other dogs there when I arrived. They all played together once I dropped him off. Will definitely come again if I’m ever in the area again!”
“Brittany and Nicholas are the absolute best sitters in the world! Our dog Molly was very well cared for, enjoyed her time, and even had a few treats sent home with her. They are awesome and we would recommend them to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
About: I've lived with dogs my whole life and have taken care of room-mates' cats through college. I've trained my family dog to do tricks and love walking dogs in general. I have enough space in my apartment for cats who like their space. Also, I love to give attention to pets who are cuddlers. I'm currently a college student and I will be available at odd times in the day where others might be at work. If your pet needs a midday walk I would be happy to help! I love pets and would look forward to giving them a walk for the day or ensure they are well fed and tended to for a home visit.
“Cheyenne was very flexible with my schedule. I was on vacation and we were going floating. On the day Cheyenne was supposed to watch my dog, the river was swollen and dangerous to float. She went above and beyond to accommodate for the situation. She was prompt on pickup and drop off, communicated effectively and overall a sweet girl”
About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here. I have a cozy shaded (with plenty of room to move about) pen where your pup will stay when I'm not supervising them in the big fenced yard or talking walks.

“Kiera is amazing as always, and our cat Bean loves her! He’s a very affectionate cat and demands all the pets and attention and she always delivers (along with a couple a treats as well).”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats—along with a wide range of other animals, including exotics—I understand that cats aren’t just pets, they’re family with very specific personalities and needs. From shy, independent kitties to high-energy or special-needs cats, I’m attentive to their routines, boundaries, and comfort. Whether it’s feeding, litter care, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I make sure your cat feels safe, respected, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”
About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments.
About: Hi! I’m Landree, and caring for animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started training horses at 10 years old, began working with exotic animals at 16, attended my first professional dog training course in 2021, and completed another in 2022. My goal is to create a place where every dog feels like they’re on vacation while you’re away. I live in St. James, Missouri, on 7 beautiful acres with a secure fenced yard for safe play and plenty of open fields for supervised walks and exercise. Our property also has a large pond. While it isn’t fenced, dogs are never allowed near it without direct supervision, and if you’d rather your pup avoid the pond completely, I’m happy to accommodate that. I work from home, so your dog will receive lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are welcome to relax and roam freely in the house while I’m home. If I ever need to step out for errands, they’ll stay safely in a dog-proof room or a crate, depending on what they’re most comfortable with and what you prefer. I also have both stairs and a ramp leading into the house to help accommodate senior dogs and those with mobility needs. For added convenience, I offer transportation to and from your home for boarding clients. I’m currently working toward opening my dream pet resort, where dogs can enjoy a fun, enriching, and safe stay every time they visit. Until then, I’m excited to welcome your furry family member into my home and care for them as if they were my own. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, not a side hobby, so your pet’s care is my top priority throughout the day. My daily routine is built around providing frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. During the summer, we enjoy the cooler parts of the day outside and spend the hottest hours relaxing indoors in the air conditioning before heading back out for more fun in the evening. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to follow your dog’s normal feeding times, medication schedule, exercise needs, and preferred routine. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quieter day filled with naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Because pet care is my full-time profession, your dog won’t simply be checked on throughout the day—they’ll receive consistent supervision, personalized care, and the love and attention they deserve. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll adjust their day to keep them happy and comfortable. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, plenty of fresh water, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. They are welcome to relax inside the house with me, and during the hottest parts of the day we cool off indoors in the air conditioning. If I ever need to leave for a short time, dogs are safely housed in a dog-proof room or a crate based on your preference and what your dog is most comfortable with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. Safety is always my highest priority, and every outdoor activity is supervised to ensure your dog has a fun, safe, and stress-free stay.
About: I’ve spent my whole life—28 wonderful years—loving, learning, and caring for dogs of all kinds, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Saint Bernards! I adore all animals (cats included 🐾) and know how important your pet’s happiness and comfort are. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like my own. ❤️ I'm a mom to two amazing toddlers. Caring for animals is something I truly love, and I can’t wait to spend time with your furry friend—whether that’s walks, playtime, or overnight care. My schedule is flexible if your pet is kid-friendly and can get along with my cockapoo. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. For example, I once cared for a miniature schnauzer who needed lots of love and attention. When I had to leave the house, he felt safest in his kennel, so I made sure he had his favorite toy, something that smelled like me, and a small treat to help ease his anxiety. I fully understand that each pet requires different care, and I am more than happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. 🐾💛
“I boarded my two cats to Samantha. She took good care of our cats and is a very good cat sitter. And it was very convenient to get an answer right away. Thanks again and I will be boarding our cat again to her. I highly recommend this sitter.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dixon
“Johanna watched my dog for the whole day and sent several picture updates, which I appreciated. She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Thank you Johanna for taking good care of my sweet girl!”
“Trinity had a blast! She made some new friends. Our first time using Rover for dog sitting services but we are pleased with our new sitter. Recommend Deandreia. Trinity is a bit high strung but she handled her well. Thank you. We were able to enjoy or day and not worry!”
About: I have been taken care of animals for 15 years now. I work at a vet clinic as a vet tech. Animals have always been my passion since I was a little girl. I am familiar with all kids if medications so if something needs to be administered I am capable of doing so. I would love your pets/treat your pets as if they were mine. I know how to do CPR on animals if needed. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I am capable of letting them out when needed and caring and looking after them ensuring that they are happy. We can go in long walks and play ball if they are into that. I also enjoy hiking so if they are good with that we can enjoy some out door time. I feed them to their instructions given, I can administrator medications if needed. I can do baths, nail trims and ear cleanings. If they have anal gland issues too I can express those with no problem. If they are on prescription diets I'm familiar with all kinds. Your baby will be in good hands
About: We love animals and have cared for every type of animal from farm animals, reptiles, cats, dogs and more. I pride myself on being very detail oriented and having a pristine home. Our dogs are part of family and yours will be treated the same. We have a large fenced in yard and They will be welcome in our home as soon as they want to come in and cool down. My children respect animals and love to meet new ones. We have only hardwood floors. I’m a stay at home mom and fur mama. I am home all week and would love to care for your pets along side mine. I have 1 acre of fenced in land here to keep your dogs safe as they play, my dogs are very friendly and love other dogs to play with. I have plenty of room to crate your dogs if needed.
“Great yard for dogs that like to run and explore!! The family has two super friendly dogs that our dogs enjoyed playing with, and two great kids who also love dogs. Our dogs seemed to enjoy themselves very much and found the atmosphere with goats, geese and chickens to be very interesting and fun. Thank you so very much!!”
About: I grew up in a family where animals weren’t just pets—they were part of our daily life and the heartbeat of our home. Over the years, we cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and chickens. There has never been a moment in my life without at least one dog or cat by my side. That lifelong connection turned into a genuine passion for animal care. Because of that, I’m working toward opening my own boarding facility—one that will not only care for family pets, but will also take in strays and rescues who need a safe place to land. Using this app is my first step in that journey. I’m here to: build meaningful relationships with pets and their owners gain hands-on experience with a variety of animals and personalities earn supplemental income to invest directly into the boarding and rescue facility establish a future client base built on trust, reliability, and genuine care Your pets will be treated like they’re part of my family—because caring for animals is something I’ve done my entire life, and something I take pride in doing well. Pet care is a major part of my everyday life. I recently left my full-time job so I could dedicate myself fully to working with animals and building my future boarding and rescue facility. That means I’m able to structure my days entirely around pet care — not squeeze it in between shifts or treat it like a side task. Every week, my schedule is centered on drop-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and enrichment. I set aside dedicated time each day specifically for pet visits, check-ins, updates, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. Because this is my full focus now, I’m able to be flexible, reliable, and fully present with every animal I care for. Whether it’s a single visit or multiple pets throughout the week, your pet becomes part of my daily rhythm — and they’ll always get calm, attentive, and consistent care. How I Care for Pets in My Home and in Clients’ Homes My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on the same routine they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I make sure they get calm, consistent attention and all the essentials they need. In Your Home: When I’m caring for pets in their own environment, I follow your instructions exactly so their routine stays steady. Here’s what you can expect: • Fresh food and water on your preferred schedule • Clean litter boxes or outdoor potty breaks • Daily enrichment, playtime, and companionship • Respect for your home, your space, and your pet’s boundaries • Clear communication and photo updates every visit • Extra patience for shy, anxious, or rescue pets • Medication or special care needs handled as instructed I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and familiar — which helps pets feel secure while you’re away. In My Home (if applicable): In my home, pets get a safe, supervised environment with plenty of love and structure. They receive: • A quiet, calm space to relax • Regular feeding times and fresh water • Enrichment toys, cozy bedding, and comfortable hangout spots • Supervised play and attention based on their personality • Respect for crate routines or safe spaces if they prefer them I keep their environment low-stress and easy to settle into. Overall Care Approach: No matter where your pet is staying, I treat them like one of my own — with patience, consistency, and the kind of care that prioritizes their comfort and happiness. I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel understood and well cared for.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for years! I would love to take the weight off of your shoulders and help you with you pets! I am currently at home full time so I have all the time to take care of your furry friends! Sunday through Saturday I’ve got you covered! I have a fenced in yard and a walking trail very close by to take everyone on walks or runs and 2 furry friends of my own to keep company and play!
About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here.

About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of my dog Sokka for five years. He is a loveable high maintenance puggle so I am well prepared for any challenges. I have also owned guinea pigs for years and am open to caring for exotic pets if needed. While I have not had the pleasure of owning my own cat I have cat sit several times before. I used to work at Petco in animal care and at a zoo so I am very knowledgeable about pet care needs. I currently work full-time Monday thru Friday but am available weekends and evenings for all your pet care needs. I can be flexible with scheduling as needed. I am willing to follow any wishes of the client regarding how they would prefer their furbabies to be cared for. Whether this means kenneling when gone or free-roaming the home.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds— including dogs, cats, and even exotic animals— I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every job. I understand that pets are family, not just animals, and I treat them with the same attentiveness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own. Whether it’s daily care, special routines, or unique needs, I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Please ask if you have any questions about how Rover calculates the total price! I’m chronically self-employed because I love the flexibility it offers. I’m used to taking on a variety of jobs and adjusting to my client’s needs week to week. I will never take a job I can’t fully commit to, so you can rest assured I will give your pets my full attention when they’re on my schedule. Every pet has their quirks so it’s important to have fully transparent communication with my clients. I will always encourage a meeting with the clients and pets prior to the job starting, as I believe it’s best to get familiar with the pets and their home. I often request to visit at the time I’d normally visit while the client is away, because I want to see the walking/feeding/crating routine in its fullness. I ask a lot of questions and take notes to make sure we’re on the same page. I also request the clients to leave me their contact info, vet’s info, and an emergency contact’s info to make sure I can be prepared for any emergencies that may arise. I encourage clients to ask any questions they have, even if it seems silly. Likewise, if I have any questions, I will ask them instead of guessing. I often send pictures and updates throughout the stay. I stay off my phone as much as possible to be alert and cautious. I take care of your pets the way I’d want someone to take care of mine.
About: I am avaliable most of the time and I will give my full attention to your dog(s) and other pet(s). I am very flexible and I will walk your dog(s) if requested, but it will cost extra. I WILL except ANY breed. I do have 1 cat and 1 dog. I am an animal lover and I will except other animals, depending on what it is. Your pet(s) have to be kid friendly, dog friendly, and cat friendly. I allow pets on the furniture. I do not have a fenced in yard. I will bath pet if requested, but it will cost extra. I am very nice and loving. I'm in O'Fallon, MO and willing to go 50 miles out. I am currently not working, so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet(s)! I'm available during the week and every other weekend. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there's a dog park I can take your dog(s). I have a 3 year old daughter. I also have a cat and a dog.
About: I was raised with lots of puppies and other animals. I have two fur babies now, Oakley and Remi! I would love to visit your babies and keep them company while you are away from them. I work full time but have a couple days off a week on a rotating schedule. I am willing to travel and make our schedules work together as best as possible. Leaving your pets is very difficult but I would love to be able to help ease your worries! I am responsible and trustworthy. You would not have to worry about the job not getting done.
