“We dropped off our golden retriever Jerry with Elisabeth while staying with friends in Chesterfield. Elisabeth and her family were great - Jerry got plenty of exercise and they kept us updated on his adventures each day. Would happily board with them again. Thank you!”
“Tiffiny was great! She communicated well, sent periodic updates and pics and my dog Bella got plenty of exercise and outdoors time in her fenced in back yard. Tiffiny is also conveniently located very near my home so drop off and pick up was easy. I will definitely bring Bella back to stay with Tiffiny the next time I travel.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 8 year old lab. We read so many reviews that were positive for Misty and decided she was the perfect fit for our sweet Willow. Misty watched our baby for 9 days while we were out of the country. She sent photos and our girl came home as happy and content as could be. She has not done well being boarded in the past so this was a wonderful stay for her and a huge relief for us. We recommend Misty and her family 100%. She has a huge back yard and she and her family are animal lovers so you can be at peace that your fur baby will be well loved and happy. We will definitely book again with Misty in the future!”
“Laronna is a very friendly and warm dogsitter. We did a meet-and-greet first which went well, followed by leaving my dog with her for 4 nights. She got to play with Laronna's dog. She sent an update with pictures each night, which was appreciated while I was out of town. I plan to leave my dog with her again, since it worked out well.”
“Our pet was boarded with Dawn for 3 nights and I got periodic updates on how our pet was doing along with pictures.Really great relief knowing our pet was in loving ,caring hands. Drop off & pickup went smoothly,received regular communication & reminders from Dawn.”
“I hesitate to leave this review only because I want to keep Lorri for myself! She was so good with our dog! Winnie is blind and due to this has separation anxiety when we leave her and a little generalized anxiety in new situations. Within a day, Lorri had her wearing a cute little sweater to keep warm on walls (which Winnie refuses to wear for me), had her cuddling on the couch and even took her for walks in a store! I know Winnie was comfortable with her because she was clearly relaxed in the many photos and videos we got while we were away. Lorri is the best!”
“Copper had a great time at Carly and Doug's house. We received updates with photos, and he looked like he was having so much fun with new friends. We really appreciated the homey enviornment they provided - it made us feel at ease leaving our pup! Thank you Carly and Doug!”
“Phoenix had a great time! She promptly fell asleep as soon as she got into the car so we know she played hard! Thanks to Beth and family for taking good care of her while we were gone.”
“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.”
“Sherry is such a kind person and was so good to my lil guy! She showered him with love as soon as she met him. She sent daily pictures and updates. I felt MORE than comfortable leaving him with her and will absolutely book with her again! Don't hesitate to leave your fur baby with her - she's awesome! I know I've said it a million times, but THANK YOU, Sherry!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Charlie. The frequent updates, photos, and videos helped so much to put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for all you did to go above and beyond over a holiday weekend.”
“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“Melanie was an amazing pet sitter, and I am so happy that I found her. She gave me daily updates with either photos or videos, and my dogs were in great hands the whole time I was gone. I was at peace knowing that they were with her. She is the best.”
“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”

“Beth was wonderful with my senior cat-and with senior me as I worried from a distance. She was reliable, loving and willing to give meds twice a day. Thanks Beth for allowing me to visit my grandchildren!! Bless you!!”
“Amazing cat sitter! Qiyun/Kiki was so accommodating when we had to book our cat Lucy on very short notice. She took great care of her, sending regular pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would rate her 100 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely have your kitty stay here!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been personally responsible for my own dogs for the past 14 years. I currently have three dogs at home and have experience with everything from small breeds to large dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs with medical and senior-care needs. One of my dogs developed Addison’s disease at a young age and later battled cancer, so I became very comfortable with administering injections and medications, managing chronic health needs, and caring for a dog through chemotherapy, arthritis and mobility changes. As he got older, we adapted his routine so he could still enjoy walks and activities safely and comfortably. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, especially when they have special needs. I’m patient, attentive and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible, whether that means a morning walk, some midday company, or extra love while you’re away. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! I know how much trust it takes to leave a member of your family and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, your instructions, and any house rules closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to body language and individual needs and will never force an interaction or put your pet in an uncomfortable situation. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and am always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your family member is in good hands.
“Tiffiny is such a kind person as well as her daughter. You can tell she loves animals and will care for your babies as she would care for her own. Most importantly she uses the Rover app and communicates effectively leaving notes and confirmation with every visit. She validates that your animals are well, eating drinking and in our case using the litter box appropriately. She went above and beyond and vacuumed around their litter box. Thank you so much for caring for our kitties. Love the Gunters and especially from Mac, Cheeto, and Biscuit!”
About: I have been lucky to have had feline pets since I was a child, cats young and old, male and female, mixed breeds. They are absolutely my favorite kind of animal, always have been and always will be. I relate to them as if I am also a feline, which I often wish I am. I share their independent and non-judgemental spirit, admire the wisdom visible in their eyes and their ability to communicate verbally through feline sounds and non-verbally through their honest bodily communication. Our only pet currently is our beloved Simba, our spoiled adult male with experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, squirrels, etc, whom he considers as his playmates. Your cat can enjoy his favorite cat food whether I watch him at your house or at my house and he will have his own well-maintained litter box. I look forward to meeting your feline(s), learning from their wisdoms and being blessed with their friendship.
“Blanca was an amazing caregiver to our two dogs while we were in Hawaii. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of them playing, chasing the ball, enjoying pets and scratches. We would definitely recommend Blanca and will 100% use her in the future!”
About: I own two cats that are actually outdoor cats! We taught them to stay away from the road when out exploring, come back for dinner at a certain time, and we lock them up in a safe, air conditioned/heated room at night to protect them from any dangerous wildlife! They are both 7 years old and we have had them both since they are 12 week old kittens! They love to hangout on the porch outside with us in our laps!
“Danny and Jennifer have taken care of our cat many times when we go on trips, and they are always wonderful. I love all the pictures and the detailed notes they send after each visit.”
“Barbara was fantastic! She was incredibly reliable and took great care of Murphy while we were out of town. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Murphy was safe, happy, and well cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter.”
“Damica is an excellent sitter! My cat absolutely adores her, she took great care of him and made sure to send me updates, pictures, and videos throughout the stay. I will definitely be booking her again”
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”
About: I’m a cat mom myself, so I know cats tend to have their own routines, personalities, and boundaries. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and of course giving them attention when they want it (and space when they don’t!). I’ll care for your cat the same way I’d want someone to care for my baby.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life working with plenty of breeds. Dog training is my passion and I guarantee your pet is in good hands. I offer dog walking, training, and sitting. I have plenty of time to come work with your pets. Monday through Sunday I am available to care and walk your dogs! Very flexible schedule and can accommodate for most bookings. I am very experienced working with pets, and am capable of taking care of their needs. Whether it is walking, feeding, playing, training, etc, I am here for it!
About: I'm newly retired and love dogs of all stripes. I spend much of my time walking the neighborhoods in west county and would love some company from 4-legged friends. I'm usually available for dog walking or check-ins from Monday to Friday from 6am to 5pm. We travel in the shoulder seasons so I'm pretty open in the summer. We have a large yard and a nearby wooded park that we walk to. No fence so dogs will be on a leash most of the time. We have a 12 year old golden retriever named Lucy.
“I’d give Ashley 10 stars if I could! This is the third or fourth time she has cared for our kitties while we were out of town. Our girls love her and she always sends pictures and a message with each visit for us high-stress per parents! Ashley is the best!”
About: I have been a professional dog trainer (AKC) and CGC certified trainer for many many years (10+ years). I have worked with many rescues in LA and PHX and continue to have clients back in those cities I still service (my clients love me). I have been watching animals for a long time and recently opening up my home to more clients. I have a large dog and small dog in my home as well as a very sleepy old cat. If your dog needs to be the only dog I can make arrangements for my dogs to be gone at grandparents :) The yard is fenced and dogs are only allowed out with supervision so they are always with me...I want to have fun and bond with your dog and ensure their safety and fun! I am able to do checkins, hikes, walks and obviously cuddles. I am responsible and will care for your pet as much as you do. I am happy to continue what rules/instructions you have for your dog and we will have a great time together. I will follow the rules you have for your dog and send tons of pics and updates! I have references and plenty of experience in all shapes sizes and breeds of dogs! I work remote so usually home. I occasionally travel for work to LA and Phx for clients but taking on new clients here in STL! When I am gone dogs on work related pet visits, the dogs are my home are separated into rooms by baby gates and monitored thru a camera. I am usually gone no longer than 2 hours. I care after your pet the same way you would, with love care and full of safety. I have long time clients that refuse to let me go because of not only the care I give but I think also the cuddles and pics :)

“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!”
“Holy Smokes! Jeanne was so sweet and so kind to our new puppy. We are road tripping as a family and took our kids to Six Flags. Chip got to hang out with this lovely lady! She sent the best pictures and was very responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Tiffiny did a great job with Van Gogh. She had him 3 days and made drop off/ pick up quick and easy. She has an animal psych degree so your pet will love it, and may even come back more well behaved. Id request her again next time Im in the area.”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals from a young age. Cat, dogs, small animals such as birds and hamsters. My love for animals came in childhood and I will offer the best care! I currently work a hybrid role with my company so I have time at home to take care of animals for those that are looking for the best options out there. I have a large yard and a neighborhood for walking. I have a fenced yard so outdoor playtime can be provided without worry. I have 1 cat in home and 2 children in the evenings to offer lots of play for family friendly dogs.
“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! ❤️”
“Erica was available with such short notice! Her availability is amazing and she works with my crazy work schedule always. I can leave my Bella knowing that she will he safe and well taken care of! She always comes home happy and tired ☺️”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend Bhairavi highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure Oakley felt comfortable, happy, and cared for. I received regular updates with adorable photos and thoughtful notes, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly well-loved! It’s rare to find someone so responsible, kind, and attentive. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Bhairavi is the one. Bhairavi and Gary have a beautiful home and you will not find anyone better to love and care for your dog!! I will definitely be booking again!”
About: Hi my name is Hattie and I would love to watch your pup!! I have grown up with dogs all my life and have had a lot of experience watching dogs of all sizes and ages (and cats too!!). I currently have a 6 year old Italian Greyhound who is full of energy and would absolutely love to play with your pup if they’re up for it! I am a night shift nurse and my fiancée works from home so our schedule can be a little weird, but there’s almost always someone home. I would be happy to watch your dog, stop by to visit, or take them on a walk or to the dog park. Let me know how I can help you and your dog! Message me with any questions you have:) I currently work night shift three nights a week where I am gone all night but my boyfriend works at home during the day so there’s always someone home! I have a fenced yard that is fortified to keep my own 10lb dog from slipping through! She likes to come in and out all day and lounge on the deck when it’s nice out.
“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!!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was young. When I got older and moved out on my own, I ended up getting cats too. I currently have 2 cats that live with me, one was adopted and one was a stray kitten that I found in a thunderstorm. I’ve worked at a veterinary hospital doing tasks like feeding animals, administering medication, cleaning up after them, bathing them, etc. I have also worked at a couple of dog boarding shops. So, I can handle a lot of animals at once. I’m quick on my feet, especially when animals are getting too rough with one another. This happened a lot at the doggy daycares I worked at. But I know how to break up dog fights without hurting the pups in the process because of my experience there. I have been pet sitting independently for about 5 years, and I prefer it to being in a shop. I can have a closer relationship with the pets I watch this way. I’ve raised my own dogs and cats, so I know how to take care of them. I also know the certain behaviors to look out for, whether an animal is sick or not acting normal in general. I’m very attentive and your animals will be very safe in my hands. My passion is taking care of animals. I do this full time and I love every minute of it. My schedule is always open for your pets! I live on about 7 acres of property. The yard is not fenced, but I can take pups out on a leash. I do have 2 cats with me full-time but they’re very friendly. I also live in a split house, so I could separate them if needed. I’m also very used to going to people’s houses to watch their pets. I work best when there is a written list of what you need done. That way, I can check it off as I go. But I’m very thorough! I’ll get everything done and then some.
“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.”
“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!”
“Christina and her family were outstanding and took such good care of Sam. It was his first stay away from home and they made him feel welcome, took him on walks and treated him like one of their family. Thank you Christina!”
“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!”
“Iliana and her family were absolutely wonderful! This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone other than myself and Iliana was so caring and kind to my doggie and myself. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, which was awesome and comforting!”

About: As a performer who travels the world by sea, I know how comforting the love of an animal can be and while I’m away I miss that connection so much! I have loved, snuggled, and pet animals around the world and while I’m back on land I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same attention! I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up in a home full of furry friends. My parents volunteer with Duo Dogs, so our house has always been a revolving door of puppies and big dogs alike. Two of our English Labs are especially sensitive to fireworks and thunderstorms, so I’m no stranger to calming anxious pups with patience, love, and a gentle hand. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, some cozy snuggle time, or maybe it’s your turn to get out and see the world, I’m here to keep your pets happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is wide open during my time home-so don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s set something up! Since I am taking a land break, my schedule is very open! I enjoy my time at the gym, but other than that I don’t have many routine commitments. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in your home where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and treat your home with care. You can trust that your pet will be loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.

“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”
About: I am an absolute animal lover, always have been, always will be. Animals have been on the earth long before humans, and hopefully will always be around, long after humans, and to save the earth from humans. They are pure, non-judgemental, authentic and true to their nature. Their natural spirit contains no evil or manipulative tendencies whatsoever. They are wonderfully versed in non-verbal communication, through eye contact, bodily movement, and natural sounds. I treasure all breeds of animals but of course have the most experience with cats and dogs. Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed and treasured the friendship and companionship of my pets I have had experience with canines and felines of all ages and sizes.I look forward to meeting your pet and treating them as if they were my own. I I am at a time and place in my life where I do have the time and the place to be a pet-sitter. I have been a family caregiver, for my brother and then my mother, since 2018 That took quite a bit of time and attention, but they are both in a more peaceful place now. My two young adult children are more independent and one is moving out. I have inherited the family house and land, the house my grandpa built in the late 1940's on an acre of land full of trees on a quiet street. I have always wanted to spend more time and attention with animals and this is the right time and place. I can care and board your pet in my house or yours. I have a large yard with plenty of trees and a ranch style house. I only have one pet, he is a handsome older feline that gets along with cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, etc, I can come to your house if you and your pet would be more comfortable with that.
“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!”
About: I have two dogs in my own and have taken care of numerous different breeds in my neighborhood, along with family and friends.

About: I grew up with mastiffs, trained dogs as a volunteer at a local shelter, and have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for my own for years I’m building my own business, so my schedule is as open as I need it to be. I walk my own dog on a schedule twice a day, but have no other rigid commitments. Safety first. Leashes are always secured and checked before doors are open. If going into a fenced yard, gates are checked and dogs are supervised at all times.
About: I am an animal lover at heart. It’s been my job to care for my neighbors and clients pets well being for years now. Pets are family and I’ll treat them as my own. I work part time from home so my schedule is flexible! I am available weekends, early mornings, late at night, etc. When I’m not working, I stay at home with my 20 month year old son who I’ve also now turned into a huge animal lover. My house is small and one of my dogs is very selective so I’d prefer to keep your furbaby at their home. I can stay over or visit multiple times a day- whatever works best for you.
About: Just reactivated my Rover account in June, 2026. I am a dog person. I have two dogs, Clover and Nova which are 70+ pound husky/ Aussie mix dogs that will play hard and sleep harder. I will give your pup tons of attention, play time, and can work on training if needed as well. I love training my dogs as well as other dogs, so if you’re looking for a trusted dog walker with training experience I’m ready to help. Look forward to meeting you and your dogs. I work long days and most evenings and looking to walk dogs on my lunch break close to my office. I love walking as I walk my dogs multiple times a day. I will always leash your dogs on walks. I am familiar with the gentle leader leash and training no-pull harness. I can handle dogs that may be aggressive and will go to the other side of the sidewalk if your dogs aren’t friendly with other dogs.
About: There’s nothing like the love you receive back in a single look. I’ve had dogs my entire life—being a pet lover is simply part of who I am. To me, they’re not just pets—they’re a special part of our lives. With 13+ years working in a pet care company and over 2 years fostering 21+ dogs, I bring both professional expertise and real-life experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs—both small and large breeds, from 9-week-old puppies to senior dogs. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs of neighbors and friends, building trusted relationships within my community. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and especially comfortable helping dogs adjust, feel at ease, and build confidence. I truly love how every dog is unique—their personality, their energy—and getting to know each one is something I genuinely love. At home, I have two well-trained dogs—Valentino (Golden Retriever) and Romeo (Australian Shepherd)—who help foster dogs learn positive behaviors and feel comfortable. I treat every dog as my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy—so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I’m available for walks Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM, and generally on weekend mornings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent attention and reliable care during these hours. I aim to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I can be flexible for additional times when needed—just feel free to reach out and we can coordinate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and at ease. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and two well-trained, friendly dogs—Valentino (Golden Retriever) and Romeo (Australian Shepherd)—who help create a balanced and positive environment, especially for dogs who benefit from socialization. With my background fostering over 21 dogs, I’m experienced in reading dog behavior, managing different temperaments, and helping dogs adjust smoothly. I can also follow specific instructions such as crate training, feeding routines, or medications if needed. I treat every dog with care, attention, and responsibility—so you can feel confident your dog is in safe and capable hands.

“We dropped off our golden retriever Jerry with Elisabeth while staying with friends in Chesterfield. Elisabeth and her family were great - Jerry got plenty of exercise and they kept us updated on his adventures each day. Would happily board with them again. Thank you!”
“Tiffiny was great! She communicated well, sent periodic updates and pics and my dog Bella got plenty of exercise and outdoors time in her fenced in back yard. Tiffiny is also conveniently located very near my home so drop off and pick up was easy. I will definitely bring Bella back to stay with Tiffiny the next time I travel.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 8 year old lab. We read so many reviews that were positive for Misty and decided she was the perfect fit for our sweet Willow. Misty watched our baby for 9 days while we were out of the country. She sent photos and our girl came home as happy and content as could be. She has not done well being boarded in the past so this was a wonderful stay for her and a huge relief for us. We recommend Misty and her family 100%. She has a huge back yard and she and her family are animal lovers so you can be at peace that your fur baby will be well loved and happy. We will definitely book again with Misty in the future!”

“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.”
