Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable the entire time — they especially loved spending time with their sweet dog Chloe! We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”

“Yingfei was wonderful with our two dogs. She met them ahead of time and asked great questions about what kind of care they needed. Both of my dogs take medication and Yingfei was willing to administer this. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave great updates. My dogs ate and slept well at her home and returned home happy. I had a great experience with Yingfei and will definitely use her again.”

I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to others!”
“Bon Bon really seemed to have a good time when staying with Rayna and Zachary! She played a lot and she loved all her doggie friends. Bon Bon was taken to the dog park which I got videos of her running around. Which I loved because all the pictures and videos made me feel like she was in good hands! My doggo seemed VERY happy ? I will use them again if I go out town! I highly recommend them?”
“Our experience with Madhu and her family was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we entrusted them with the care of our beloved pups, we knew we made the right choice. They treated our dogs like cherished family members, showering them with love and attention throughout their stay. The daily updates, complete with videos and pictures, were a delightful touch that kept us connected and reassured. Their spacious backyard provided the perfect playground for our furry friends to romp and explore to their hearts' content. It was evident that they went above and beyond to ensure our pups felt at home. What truly stood out was their thoughtfulness in asking all the right questions to tailor the experience to our dogs' individual needs and preferences. Their genuine care and consideration for our pets' well-being were palpable and deeply appreciated. Without a doubt, we will be returning to Madhu and Her family for future pet-sitting needs. Their exceptional service, coupled with their warmth and dedication, have earned our trust and gratitude. Highly recommended to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companions.”
“Our doggie, Carmen, had a blast spending the weekend at Debbie’s house. He was very excited to see her when we dropped him off and he loved playing with her pups that are 6 months younger than him. She is his favorite Rover sitter”
“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”
“Teresa did awesome with my dog. She took her for a walk, outside to play, and let my dog nap on her. My girl has separation anxiety and Teresa made her feel welcomed and comfortable. Thank you!”

“Excellent pet sitter for our two shy cats! Lots of personalized care and photos and is very trustworthy while we have been on vacay. Highly recommend Katie for pet care.”
“Donovan did a fantastic job watching over my pet while I was on vacation. In the past I had never used a pet sitter, but I really wanted to take a good vacation away from home, and not be worrying about my pet everyday. Donovan took away that stress and went above and beyond making sure my cat was well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Jordyn did an excellent job. She has very patient and loving to our sometimes skittish and bashful kitty. She even got her to come from under the bed and play. Also, Jordyn took my trash out and wiped down the kitchen counters, great job, thanks you very much. I will definitely call Jordyn the next time we are away. I appreciated all you did.”
“Julie was absolutely spectacular! We cannot say enough good things about the excellent care she gave our kitties and fish! We would be so happy to have her petsit for us again!”
“Raquel is wonderful! She took great care of my cats and communicated with me about visits. She made daily drop in visits for my cats. I came home to healthy, calm, well taken care of cats. She is very conscientious. I would recommend her and definitely ask her to care for my cats again.”
“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.”
“This was the first time we had hired someone to watch our cats while away and Lexi did a phenomenal job!! She communicated with us at every visit and was so sweet!! We will definitely be hiring her again any time we are away! She is amazing!”
“Kathryn was great! She communicated with us the entire time and sent pictures and updates. This was the first time we used this service and I’d absolutely recommend Kathryn to friends and our family, and would happily rebook with her should we need someone to watch our cat again.”
“It's hard to find good cat-care sometimes, but Kirsten is wonderful! She was quick to respond and happy to watch my kitty last-minute, even through a busy holiday week. She is communicative, reliable, and has good instincts. I felt super safe with her in my home! I just hope she's free when I book her again! :)”
About: When your pet stays with us, they’ll never be short on love, attention, or care. My fiancée and I work together as a team, so your furry family member always has someone nearby to meet their needs. Our home provides a safe, active, and welcoming environment, complete with a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of supervised play and exercise. Whether your dog loves to run, cuddle on the couch, stay by your side every minute, or requires medications and specialized care, we’re experienced and comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities and needs. Our family includes children who genuinely love animals and enjoy giving pets extra affection, playtime, and companionship. We treat every guest like one of our own, providing personalized care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your best friend is in experienced, caring hands. We can’t wait to meet you and your special companion! Caring for pets is a natural part of our everyday life. I have a flexible work schedule, and my fiancée is a stay-at-home mom, which means your pet is rarely left alone and always has someone nearby to provide care, attention, and companionship. Our daily routine revolves around spending time with the pets in our home—whether that’s supervised playtime in our fenced backyard, relaxing indoors, feeding, walks, cuddle time, or maintaining their normal routine. The only times one of us typically steps away are for brief school drop-offs, pick-ups, or our children’s sports activities, and those outings are usually short. Because someone is almost always home, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, personalized attention, medication if needed, and plenty of love throughout the day. We strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and like they’re part of our family during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our highest priorities. Our home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy under supervision. Inside, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the couch, enjoy plenty of cuddles, or simply find a cozy spot to unwind. For dogs who are crate trained or prefer having their own quiet space, we have additional crates available where they can relax with their favorite blanket or toy. With a two-story home, a finished basement, and multiple living areas, we’re able to accommodate a variety of personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves being in the middle of the action or needs a calmer environment while they settle in, we can provide a space where they feel safe and comfortable. Every pet is different, and we take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so we can provide personalized care throughout their stay. Our goal is for your pet to feel like they’re on their own vacation while you enjoy yours with complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for cats! Since I don’t have one of my own, I get so excited whenever I have the chance to care for one. I raised kittens that a stray had in my garage and cared for them . I’ll make sure your cat gets plenty of attention, affection (if they want it!), and excellent care while you’re away.
“Erica does so well with our dog, Duke. She checks in on him when our regular sitter is unavailable. She is very responsive and sends lots of photos of our pup while we are working. Highly recommend her!”

“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were friendly, responsible, and flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. My dogs came home happy and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”

About: I have a home in Wentzville, Missouri that has a large fenced in yard with a dog door leading to the back yard. Plenty of room to run and always someone here to keep your dog safe and supervise while they exercise and play! I do own 4 friendly rescue dogs who are full of energy and great playmates for other friendly dogs. I also have a rabbit, but she can remain caged if needed. I am in veterinary school and have been a nurse for over 20 years. I want to be able to experience caring for all types of dogs and keep you at ease knowing they're in a loving home. I also provide day care, drop-in visits, boarding, and dog walking! Will care for exotic pets too! 5% of my earnings are donated to the Humane Society of the United States!!! Please review my profile for more details. I am home during the week all day and night and have plenty of free time to supervise playtime and engage in play with your baby out or indoors. My dogs make great playmates and are high energy but gentle. My dogs are friendly, I have a 6 foot privacy fence that is always secure. I also have a dog door so your dog can go in and out as needed for potty breaks but can be blocked off if needed. I am skilled at animal care and can act in an emergency if needed. I am familiar with both human and animal medicine so I am not intimidated by any medications, conditions, or special needs.
“My family and I were traveling with our dog and wanted to have an option for doggy day care. Kirsten was an excellent choice! We felt confident that our dog was having fun on her vacation day with Kirsten, while we enjoyed some tourist attractions that weren't pet- friendly! Thanks to Kirsten, I will definitely use Rover.com again!”
About: I have had my 2 dogs since they are 8 weeks old. I would be so happy to look after your babies. I have a fenced yard with protection from dogs getting out. I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.

About: I am a lover of all pets. Young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes. Even a play at the park. Your pooch will be pampered here. Experienced sitter. I am at home all the time. My husband works from home. All pets are loved all the day here. Me and my husband are grown up with dogs and we have our own sweet little fur daughter and want to get and share love to more fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly trained dog to keep your baby company. My kids love fur. We walk, jog and can adapt as per your baby needs.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of every age of dog. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian my entire childhood. I was even going to try and start the process, but then life happened and my plans had to change. My plans took me to being a stay at home mom to 3 kids who also love animals. While I am no professional, I love trying to help my dogs learn new tricks or commands. Once again not a professional, but I do all of my dogs grooming needs myself. I have clippers and a grinder for nails and all kinds of brushes. For the babies not afraid of vacuums I also have a pet grooming vacuum. I can brush bathe and clip dogs nails at the owners request. If you bring your own shampoo the bath will be at no cost to you. If you dont have any it will just be a small fee for me to use some that I have. I am able to give medications if need be. I can also follow special diet routines if necessary as long as you bring the supplies that are needed. I am a stay at home mom for our 3 kids so when your fur baby is in my care they will hardly ever have to be kenneled. Potty breaks can be as often as needed based on what they are used to at their actual home. Daily walks can be taken(depending on the weather). I would be delighted to care for your dog while you’re away! My home is shared with my husband, our three children, and two friendly dogs who love to play in our fenced yard. I also offer daily walks to keep your pup active and happy. I normally follow a two-meal schedule with my own dogs, but I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine. Since we also have a cat, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable around cats. My goal is to make your dog feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re gone. If there are any special routines or comforts that help your pup feel at ease, I’ll gladly accommodate them when I can. For higher-energy dogs, I even have experience biking with pups who enjoy an active workout.
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”
About: I’m a devoted dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I raised one of my English Bulldogs through all 13 years of his life and currently care for my active four-year-old bulldog every day. My experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and personalized care are in helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, cuddle time, companionship, or playtime, I’ll treat them like my own dog and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 😊 I work remotely from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and love making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they are comfortable at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: Lifelong animal lover!! I grew up with dogs and have a lot of experience caring for animals. I currently have 4 of my own fur babies and fostered dogs for about 10 years. One of my pups is foster fail who is deaf and super smart; I have trained him with sign language. I will love your fur baby as my own and have plenty of experience with all shapes and sizes of breeds. Being a foster Mom comes with extra patience and care because many dogs come in broken down and my job is to rebuild them on how to be a dog and love them unconditionally. We have a large fenced in back yard with a doggy door for them to run in and out freely. Your pet will be treated as family with extra care while you are away. I currently work from home and my kids are older and don’t need me to run them around anymore. My schedule is flexible and am pretty much available at all time. I do go for walks around the neighborhood which I would love to bring your pup along. Fully fenced yard and plenty of room to play. They are able to roam the house freely and have plenty of play time with my dogs and I. The needs of each dog will be taken very seriously as instructed by you.
About: Growing up, I lived on a small farm and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of other peoples pets as well. I’m currently a teacher, and I will have more availability during the the summer. Right now I’m free on the weekends and also some evenings. I have a fenced in yard as well as my own golden doodle. He loves to have friends over and is very friendly and playful. We also have a Ragdoll kitten that is super sweet and friendly.
About: I love big dogs, little dogs, and all in between. I've had two wonderful Golden Retrievers and I'm looking forward to caring for your furbabies. I'm retired and am now looking forward to an enjoyable career as a pet sitter. I'm available 7 days a week, very flexible schedule. My husband and I are retired and are both huge animal lovers. Our Goldens crossed the Rainbow bridge and petsitting is a way to fill the void they left in our lives. We did have a beautiful cat but she passed away from cancer in September 2025. We no longer have any pets in our home. Since I am retired I'll have lots of time to spoil your pets! I'm an early riser so a walk first thing in the morning is fairly routine. Dogs are taken on short walks 3 or 4 times a day and given lots of love and attention. If owners are ok with it they are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep on my bed.
About: Hi! I’m Alizée, a stay-at-home mom in St. Peters offering loving, personalized in-home dog care in a calm and safe family setting. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks—no long hours alone. At the very maximum and on special occasions, I may be gone a maximum of 2h a day. I share my home with two sweet senior female Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. Their gentle presence helps create a calm, dog-friendly environment, and I’m very attentive to comfort, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I also bring a healthcare background to my pet care: I worked for 6 years as a nursing assistant and phlebotomist, which means I’m comfortable and experienced with special care needs, including oral medications, injections/shots, and close monitoring for senior or medically sensitive pets. What your dog will enjoy here: 🐾 A safe fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks - no chemicals are used in our yard and we remove dog's waste every other day. 🌳 Daily walks and outings near our local park 🏡 A cozy home environment—never a kennel 📸 Daily photo and video updates ❤️ Plenty of affection, supervision, and personalized care I intentionally keep the number of dogs I host to one at the time (or multiple from the same family) so every guest gets the attention they deserve and feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to care for small to medium dogs, including puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, adults, and seniors, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Make sure your puppy is comfortable with other small dogs, and children. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! Feel free to ask me any questions, I love what I do and I want my clients to know their puppy will be safe and properly cared for at my house. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all day to care for your fur baby. Rarely away more than 2h at the time, your pup will have all the attention and playtime he needs. Our family wakes up early the morning, before 6.30am so if your puppy sleeps in a kennel, he will be out of it at sunrise. If the weather permits, we go for daily walks at the park and/or in the neighborhood. I adapt my days to your animal. So if your puppy needs more or less walk, more or less yard play, or any specific care, this is not a problem. My clients usually come with their feeding instructions and a feeding schedule for their puppy, and I will be applying all the rules they see fit for their animal. I like to keep your animal on the same routine as at your house to allow less stress on them. I have a fenced yard, two elderly female chihuahuas and a child at home. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, I am always with them. I can easily crate your puppy if needed and I am familiar with the app FI that some of my clients already use. As a healthcare professional for several years, I am comfortable caring for older or sick animals. I provide daily pictures and videos to ease your stress while you are away. We do not use any chemicals in our yard and a very limited amount inside the house. Most of our space is cleaned using steam water. We also allow our own pets on the furnitures and your pup will receive the same privilege if this is in accordance with your own rules. We practice separate feeding time/station and separate sleeping area from our own dogs. Our house is equipped with cameras, inside and outside, allowing me to always have an eye on our animal if needed. During walks I do not allow contact with other dogs, and we stay on paved trails (no wooden areas or swamps) or neighborhood sidewalks. Unless it is an emergency, I do not take the liberty to transport my client's dog in the car. *exception will be made if you ask me to do so*

About: Animals have always made sense to me! I love studying their behavior and communication. Dogs and cats warm up to me quickly because I listen to what they are telling me.

I listen to instructions carefully so I can keep your pet happy and safe. I always make time to check in on pets. Often my schedule is free, but if not I can visit your pet early in the morning or late at night. Otherwise, I tend to check in at regular times so your pet gets a sense of normalcy. I only offer check-ins at the client's house, so your pet will be in the same environment. I still keep an eye on everyone to ensure their safety!

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that they’re family. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve pet sat for multiple families with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities.

You can also expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Point of story: I will treat your fur baby like it's my own! I work from home as a freelance writer! I have a big apartment that currently has one small dog in it.

I was gone from Rover for a while due to military services, but am back now to continue caring for your furry friends! I am currently a part-time student so that means weekends are completely free for me to take care of your pups or kittens! However, if there is an emergency I am willing to be flexible weekdays as well. We have a large fenced-in backyard that is available for the pup at their disposal! There are a total of 5 family members, including one teenager who is 17 years old. I do have 2 other dogs as well. One older dog named Frankie who is currently 8 years old, and one younger dog named Rosie, who turned 3 this year! Both are very well behaved when it comes to new animals in the house.
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 work a full time job, but I do have the ability to work from home when needed and a flexible lunch break. I am mostly free between 7:00-8:30 AM or 6:00-9:00 PM M-F, but I am also available during lunch hours (11:00AM-2:00PM) and weekends upon request. 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’m a devoted dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I raised one of my English Bulldogs through all 13 years of his life and currently care for my active four-year-old bulldog every day. My experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and personalized care are in helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, cuddle time, companionship, or playtime, I’ll treat them like my own dog and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 😊 I work remotely from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and love making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they are comfortable at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Whether you need someone to feed/let out your pup during the day, walk them, or just give them some extra love I can be there for you. I have dog sat for many years and I have 1 pup of my own. I have an almost 2 year old beagle. Starting the puppy phase all of again is so fun. I will treat your pup as part of our fur-filled family.
