“Katie is amazing! We couldn't have been happier with the care she gave our dog. She sent multiple pictures and updates every day. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her.”
“I can't say enough about Sheila. She took on my little Lily dog who not only has Heart Disease and Trachea Collapse Disorder, but also has separation anxiety. Yet she and Dave gave Lil the best of care, with the greatest of patience. I could tell Lily felt loved. I will bring Lily back to Sheila, without reservations. Thank you sooo much for caring for my senior doggie.”
“Highly recommend! Took our 1.5 yr old boxer for a last minute stay and it went great! She introduced our pup to each of her dogs and everyone got along great, fenced in yard for them to roam and lets them cuddle inside on the couches. Thanks again Cheyenne!”
“Yingfei was great with our dog, Pixie! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the 7 night stay! We already have her booked for Pixie's next stay later this week and plan to use her for future trips, as well! Thank you so much for treating Pixie like your own!”
“Our dog really enjoyed her stay, she came back well fed, exercised, and happy. Could not ask for more. Brianna sent photos and a daily wrap-up just to keep us informed about our dog.”
“Leanne was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my pups in an area they weren’t familiar with. She was very welcoming and my pups seemed to feel right at home from the moment they got there. She was great about keeping me updated and sending me pictures of them. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her! Thank you again! ❤️”

“Ashley was great for our dogs! We were in a pinch and needed someone within a few days to watch them for the weekend and Ashley was very responsive and cooperative. The dogs loved their stay at her place and were well taken care of! Ashley's communication was great with how the dogs were doing as well. Would definitely recommend!”

“Lara was amazing with my pup! I accidentally scheduled for the wrong dates and she adjusted her schedule to help me. She would send pictures daily and my pup always looked so happy! She made sure Ollie got a lot of time outdoor and was able to wear off her energy. I recommend Lara to anyone who is looking to book!! 🩷”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dutzow
About: I am a Veterinary Technician and a Professional Dog Trainer with over 10 years of experience. With a degree in Animal Science and extensive hands-on experience, I understand that safety is the top priority for every pet owner. When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience. In addition to boarding, we offer professional Training and Grooming services tailored to each dog's needs. My husband works nights and is home during the day to provide expert care and supervision for your pets. As dedicated owners of show dogs, we take pet care seriously and strive to maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our services. Our property features two fully fenced yards for play and exercise. The first is a secure 6-foot chain link and privacy-fenced potty yard, measuring approximately 20 ft x 60 ft. The second is a spacious, fully fenced double lot with rolling hills and lush grass, providing the perfect environment for your pet to run, play, and explore. *Dogs in our care must be crate trained during down time & at night. When we are not at Dog Shows or Training we are at home with our dogs. My husband works nights which means your pets will be left alone minimally. We have 2 fully fenced in yards. A smaller yard with 6ft privacy fence and a large play yard with 4ft roller panels. We do offer medical boarding on a case by case basis at an additional rate.

About: I have lived my whole life with dogs and I am currently a Dog Mom of 1. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, including a summer job at a local dog + owner fitness facility and volunteering at stray rescue in STL. My pet is also a rescue, so I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra care and comfort. My main focus is to show your pet some extra love while they are patiently waiting for you to return, and to help you as a dog parent feel at peace, knowing your dog is being well taken care of. I am currently available all day and all weekdays as I do not have a full-time job that conflicts with my availability. I can also do weekends when advance notice is given. It is important to me that I get to know both you and your pet! I want everyone to feel safe and sound during appointments. For first-time customers: I am available for phone or video calls prior to the booking date, as well as in person meet and greets (when scheduled in advance). Afterwards, we can discuss communication preferences during visits and, if requesting regular care, what days/times you would like to book in the future.
About: I grew up in a house full of animals, so loving and caring for pets is second nature to me! Our household currently includes two cats (Walter and Wanda). When your pet stays with us, they become part of the family—expect plenty of belly rubs, playtime, and pampered care! Being a Stay at home mom, I have flexibility that allows me to do things like hiking trails, running at the lake, and house/pet sit for my friends and family. Growing up with both indoor and outdoor animals has helped me adapt to different pets behaviors and still create a trusting environment so they feel safe.
“Lara took great care of Margot for us!! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Margot came home happy and tired which we love! Thank you Lara, I’m sure we will be back!”
“Ursula and Dalia are both lovely and very welcoming! My doggie always enjoys his visits with them and meeting new friends who come to stay. I highly recommend them!”
“Alvin goes to Beth’s 4-5 days a week. It’s been a few rough weeks for Alvin. He had surgery 10/1 and had a cone/collar for 12 days. She was great with keeping him from scratching but still be playful. He learned how to scoop the ball with the cone! We absolutely love the care he receives with Beth and her family!”
“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! ❤️”
“Illie was so comfortable in Zadee’s home and warmed up fast, even for being a shy dog! She kept me updated throughout the stay and was so attentive to her needs. We highly recommend a stay with Zadee.”
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, not just my own, but also those friends and family. Every time someone traveled or needed support, I'd take care of their dogs, turtle, fish and most recently cats. A year ago, I decide to offer that same care (in a formal way) to other families, just like others have done for me when I couldn't be home. Knowing someone loving and trustworthy is with your pets makes a difference. That's what I offer: presence, love, and support, so your pets feel safe and seen, even when you can't be there. As a life insurance agent working from home, I'm blessed with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, for both my family and the pets I care for. I'm a mother of 3 independent and loving daughters (ages 9,13, and 15) who have grown up around pets, and our routine flows in a way that supports my ability to offer calm, focused care, which allow me to be able to dedicate myself with love, presence and intention to the pets whose families trust me. I know what it feels like to open your home and trust someone with your pets (I've been in that side too) it's a big deal. That's why I show up with love, respect, and warm heart. I talk to your pets, care for them gently, and treat them like family, because that's what they are. I'm not just there to feed them or walk them, I'm there to make sure they feel safe, seen, and love until your return.
About: Raised an Australian Shepherd from 8 weeks to 2 years old. Trained recall, basic commands and impulse control. Socialized, fed, groomed and took to the vet when necessary. I can recognize signs of anxiety/discomfort(ie. Avoidance, hackles, snarls) and have a proficient understanding in how to make your pup feel comfortable and confident! I work from home so your pup will always have plenty of opportunity to go potty and go on frequent walks throughout the day. I also enjoy running, so if you have a higher energy pup, I would be more than happy to bring them along! I live in a neighborhood that has plenty of roads with low traffic for safe walks around the neighborhood. Living space is fully air conditioned and frequent check ins means I always know how your pup is doing.
“Anusha and her family are too good to work with. Our Pluto was kept very lovingly and utmost care. I kept receiving their playful pics and videos while Pluto was having a good time with all of them. It’s so good and a big relief to see Pluto been left with someone who will treat him with the same love and care that he gets at home. Will be coming back again and again.”
“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!!”
“Nicole did an amazing job with my Phoebe! She was extremely patient and went over and beyond to help our dog get over her anxiety with strange environments. Knowing my initial concern of Phoebe's anxiety, she took the time out to do a meet and greet and offered a test trial (doggie day care) for my own comfort before booking an overnight stay. After only just an hour of Nicole's expertise, Phoebe was completly comfortable and happy with the pictures to prove it! I couldn't be more happier! Thank you, Nicole!!”

About: We’ve loved meeting all kinds of dogs through Rover, whatever breed or size, and we’d love to spend time getting to know your furry friend through walks, cuddles, and just being together!

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.
About: Hi! My name is Destinee, and I’m currently saving for my wedding while doing something I genuinely love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, chickens etc. and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure you receive updates and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Every booking helps me work toward my wedding, and I’m incredibly grateful for your support! I own and operate my own cleaning business, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. With advance notice, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play under supervision. I also have chickens, a friendly cat, and two children who have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals or children, so I’ll always discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic care, crate your dog if requested, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away.
About: I’ve had my dog Teddy for three years, and my cat Squash for two. I love animals of all kinds and have been asked by family and friends since a young age to help them take care of animals. I’m gentle with touch but firm with my voice, love to train and spoil them, and adore going on walks. Your pets will be in good hands with me My schedule is really open right now, so I’m available for whatever your pet may need. I understand how important schedules can be, which is why I like being flexible. I’m very good at making sure that all the necessary tasks are met first when I get into the house, then if I’m allowed to, I usually try and spend a little time with that animal to gain their trust.
“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Kate did a great job of checking in and spending time with our senior dog while I was at work. My dog is not in the best health and it was a comfort to know he was being taken care of especially on the days he wasn't feeling as well.”
About: Hi! I am Lillian and I'm an avid animal lover and would love to hang with your pups or cats!! I have had experience with all ages of dogs and cats and would be comfortable with all age groups. I grew up working with horses, dogs, cats and even nursed wild bunnies to health. I've worked with high energy dogs to the older guys and gals who need some extra coaxing.

I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I started just walking dogs, and then progressed to watching family/friends dogs while they were on weekend trips/ vacations once I was able to drive. On top of watching other peoples animals, I’ve always had animals of my own, so I’ve been around Dogs/Cats my whole life. I am due in November, and I won’t be working once I have my baby. My schedule is completely open and my Dog is looking for a friend to have a sleepover 🩵 I have 3 acres and lots of room for dogs to run around and play!
