“This was our first time ever using Rover. I’m quite pleased with it and for sure will use this service again! Laronna was so pleasant and awesome. We did a meet and greet a few days before the reservations. I was very comfortable with her right after. She gave me updates and pics daily which was so sweet. I will book again with her in the future. If you’re hesitant like I was in the beginning, she definitely changed that quickly.”
“I have no words to express how pleased and blessed we are to have found Katie on this platform. For a long time, we hesitated to leave our puppies Dexter and Lilly in someone else's care due to Dexter’s medical condition who suffers from seizures, thyroid, and arthritic problems, which requires medical treatment 4 times a day with everything what that includes. Also, Lilly being a very affectionate rescued dog but super nervous and difficult to get on trust with other adults. Finding Katie has allowed us to feel very relieved and confident that our puppies are receiving not only the best care and attention, but also the most genuine affection that anyone can give us. Like everything in life, there is a time to adapt to changes, however, Katie and her family made this adaptation for Dexter and Lilly and for us also the best! Katie, thank for your patience, understanding, constant communication and love for our babies, we are happy to be able to count on you for the care of our furry babies.”
“Shannon was very kind. She really was patient with my elderly dog. She was also sitting another pup who kept my fur baby company. She sent me pictures daily. I really appreciate that. Will definitely use her services again.”
“What a great experience. Eboni provided updates and a ton of pictures to let me know how my Serena was doing while we we apart. I didn't have a worry in the world when I saw the smiles she had on her face and her playing with the other dogs in the big backyard. If you need a dog sitter, Ebony is the best.”

About: I’ve been dealing with animals literally my whole life. I went to a technical school and I worked at a doggy daycare for 4yrs.Dogs are my passion/therapy. Im trying to save up enough to continue my education. I’m currently working as a part time dog groomer Mondays/Fridays, a little busier after holidays . I’m still available to do check ins every 2-4hrs for potty breaks on those days. My home is very spacious, plus I have a dog park within walking distance. I prefer dogs that’s kid friendly as I do have a toddler.

“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I have 10+ years of experience with animals. Growing up by a dirt road in Alabama ,I always made sure to care for and find homes for them while also having our own, I’ve taken college corses on training dogs although didn’t finish due to becoming a mother. We have a large backyard fenced, covered& partly enclosed patio & love to give. Animals are truly a wonderful being to have around and I want to teach my children the importance of them. I’ve watched big dogs & small dogs although starting off with this app I’m looking to watch small dogs. I take my oldest son to library, we can spend anywhere between 1-4 hours there & I pick up my youngest from his program at 3pm (right down the road) other than weekly/biweekly grocery/shopping trips, I’m at the house. We treat your dog like our family so that means ofc they are allowed on the couch and we have a fenced in back yard & covered patio while we love to spend time outside so you can be assured majority of the time we will be right there beside em. I do have a cat who spends majority of the time in our bedroom other than eating.
“Haile and Alex were so pleasant and informative. This was my first stay and they took the time to let my dog get acclimated with the other dogs upon arrival. They sent pics and videos to make me feel comfortable about me being apart. At pickup time they provided advice based off of what they experienced during the stay to help her next stay be just that much better for my pup. Needless to say her new bestie Evie had a great time and she is down for the count. ☺️ Thank you!”
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 6 from my personal pets to my aunts or neighbors I’ve always cared for and adored animals. Caring for pets isn’t just “checking in” to me — it’s making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood while you’re away. I specialize in working with cats (especially shy, anxious, or independent ones who don’t warm up to everyone), but I also provide loving, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. With my background as a licensed pharmacy technician, I bring an extra level of attention to detail when it comes to medications, routines, and noticing small changes in behavior. Whether your pet needs basic care or a little extra support, I’ve got it covered. I also keep a small pet supply inventory on hand — so if you’re busy or forget something (food, litter, treats, etc.), I can help without it turning into a stressful situation. You’ll always get consistent updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, structure, and a lot of love. I am currently a stay at home mom, so your pets can get most of my undivided attention from me and my daughter who also adores animals. I do not have a fenced yard, but i have a big back and front yard definitely enough space for any pet to enjoy! I let my daughter play out there while I watch.
“Pickup and droppoff was easy. From the beginning she handled Ace with care. Once we got home he laid down which is great because I asked if she could get some of his energy out and she definitely did. She also kept me updated throughout the day which I did appreciate. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Isa was great for daycare for our puppy!! We were visiting St. Louis and she took great care of our puppy while we were exploring for the day. She was very responsive and sent updates throughout the day which we loved. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again when we are back in St. Louis!”

“Sarah went above and beyond and notified me of a leak in my kitchen when she came to walk my dog. Without her prompt attention the water would’ve continued flowing for several more hours!”
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, female and male, kittens/puppies being bottle fed, middle aged animals, and seniors taking medication. I also have experience with aggressive cats specifically. My name is Mary by everyone calls me Mae. My pronouns are They/Them. I am looking to earn money through my passions. One of those is helping animals! I am available any time necessary to do checkups on your animal(s)! I make sure their water is always full, that they aren't over or underfed, and that they've had plenty of bathroom breaks, playtime, and cuddles! I'll give them treats if you let me too!
“Quia is excellent in how she handled Snacks, a 95 lb Akita with a lot of energy. She took charge right away and calmed him down. A true professional. Thank you so much, you are the BEST! Andrea McCartney (MsAMac)”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.
“Taylor was great at communicating and let me know when she got there and then when she was finished. She took a lot of pictures of Mollie which made me feel very comforted. When I got home Mollie was clean and happy and had just got up from a nap on the couch which was perfect! Thank you so much for taking care of my dog!”

About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own and previously had dogs, so I understand the unique needs, energy levels, and personalities of both. I offer dependable dog walks while you’re at work and attentive, loving care when you’re out of town. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and routine are my priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I work from home and make my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and consistent with pet care. Because of that, I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and extended visits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’ve also worked remotely from clients’ homes in the past, so if your pet needs extra attention while you’re out of town, I can spend extended time there while still handling my work responsibilities. This flexibility allows me to prioritize your pet’s routine, exercise, and comfort without feeling rushed. At this time, I do not bring pets into my own home. All care is provided in my client’s home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your specific instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to minimize stress and make your time away as smooth as possible for both you and your pet.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience with a wide variety of animals, including both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to overnight house sitting. I was a regular sitter on my neighborhood’s babysitting and pet-sitting list for years before moving to St. Louis last year. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure every pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on break from college at USC so I will have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: In my house growing up there were many different cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, gerbils, and even a tortoise. I also have experience taking care of chickens and pigs. I love pets and I have been missing mine since I moved to St. Louis in August. I work every weekday from 10-645 so I am free after that. My weekends are open. I am totally free on most Saturdays and Sundays. I will make sure that I have all the information I need before I start watching a pet. The client's contact, neighbors contacts, any additional necessary phone numbers, etc. I will make sure I know all I can about the pet before I am left with them.
About: I have successfully cared for 4 litters of 8-12 puppies. I currently own three. American Staffshord Terriers, Azul is 7 years of age and Bonnie is 6 years old and Deuce is 3 years old. I have trained 4 adult dogs. I have my dogs on insurance plans through Banfield Hospital, allowing me to gain knowledge from the vets in attendance and apply the knowledge with my dogs daily. I have dealt with an aggressive dog once and though it was challenging, we made great strides together with the assistance of the dogs parents. The outcome of working with Sebastian and his mom was that Sebastian had become more sociable allowing him to attend doggy play dates, go out to the dog park, and walk with out any issues with other dogs. I currently work overnight, so the first few hours I’m home I tend to my dogs, let them out to the backyard once I’m in and situated, feed them, back out to the yard and then for a walk. Do some quick daily commands & then I sleep and repeat prior to going into work for the evening. On my off days it’s the same routine, but more training and yard time. I would be walking dogs so I would tend to the dogs as instructed or if asked for pointers I would work with the dog and see what works best for that dog in particular and share that knowledge with the parents.
About: Profile Highlights 🐾 Lifelong animal lover (my first word was “dog”!) 🐾 Experienced with dogs and small animals (rats and other pocket pets) 🐾 Reliable morning, evening, and weekend availability 🐾 Comfortable with multi-pet households 🐾 Patient with shy, nervous, or senior pets Reliable dog walker and pet sitter who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. In fact, my first word was “dog”! I grew up in a household where caring for pets was part of everyday life. From a young age I was responsible for walking our dogs, feeding them, making sure they always had fresh water, and handling the less glamorous tasks like cleaning up after them. That early experience built habits of responsibility and attentiveness that I still carry into caring for animals today. I currently have two dogs and two pet rats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and care needs. Living with different types of pets has taught me how important routine, patience, and understanding are when it comes to keeping animals happy and comfortable. Every animal has their own personality and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and respected. I’m comfortable adapting to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and slow to warm up. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits that can include feeding, fresh water refills, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with basic tasks like cleaning up after pets or refreshing litter/bedding for small animals. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning visits, evening walks, and weekends, and because I live nearby I’m able to provide reliable and consistent visits. I’m naturally detail-oriented and dependable, and I always make sure pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions are followed carefully. I know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send photo updates and quick check-ins after visits. Animals are truly one of the great joys in my life. I will treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until their favorite person comes home. I currently work a flexible 9-5. I can reliably do walks in the mornings and evenings and potentially at lunch if it is nearby. I am free to spend the full weekend with your pups too! Every pet is unique! I will do my utmost to follow your care plans to the letter and treat your animal with compassion and care while keeping them safe!
About: I’m excited to begin my pet-sitting journey, as I’ve always had a nurturing spirit and love for our four legged friends! While I didn’t grow up with pets in my home, I had the joy of dog sitting for family friends and raising several dogs on my own, including one I welcomed home straight from the kennel. Raising Bruno was especially lovely because he felt like my first child. It wasn’t just the potty training and feedings that made the experience meaningful, but the beautiful bond we built together because one that felt much like a mother’s love for her son. That time in my life meant more to me than words can fully express. With my natural connection with animals, other people’s pets often bond with me quickly. Through daily walks, cuddle time, and attentive care, I’ve learned how to recognize and meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. When I care for a pet, I treat them like family, with patience, reliability, and the same level of love and attention I gave my own. Now that we’re empty nesters, I’d love to care for your pets, giving them the love and care they need while their family is away! Is your pet used to to a 9-5 work schedule? I’m the perfect fit! I work a full time job, Monday-Friday, 8a-4:30p or 9a-5:30p during the week. However, I work only minutes away from home, so on my breaks I can easily check in on our furry friend if they’re staying with me for the week. If I’m watching your pet at your home, I am no more than 2 minutes away from the highway and no more that 20-30 minutes away from everything in the lovely city of St. Louis. After work, whether boarding or house sitting, our furry friend will have my full attention. We will get in some exercise, and then wind down with dinner, Netflix and cuddles of course! Also, I am absolutely flexible on the weekends, so they will be loaded with cuddles and playtime! I offer attentive, personalized pet care tailored to your furry friend’s unique needs, whether care takes place in my home or yours. When pets stay with me, I create a cozy, clean, and safe environment where they can truly feel at home. They’re welcome to get comfortable on the couch, soak up plenty of head and belly rubs, while enjoying a calm, loving space. While I don’t work from home during the day, I’m very present in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the weekends to give your pet the time, attention, and affection they deserve. I have a fenced, nicely sized backyard ready for play and relaxation, along with a walkable, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for enjoyable walks and fresh air. I do my best to follow your pet’s regular eating, exercise, and potty routine to keep their schedule consistent. I understand how important reliability and familiarity are for pets, and I’m committed to making this a stress-free experience for both you and your beloved companion. We can enjoy on- or off-leash playtime in the backyard or common areas based on your comfort level and preferences. No matter which service you choose, you can trust that your pet will be cared for with the same love, patience, and attentiveness as if they were my own.

About: I have a 5 year old 100lb staffordshire terrier named Kaido that I raised and trained since he was 6 weeks old. I crate trained, house trained, recall trained, socialized, and lead trained him myself. I have also Kaido to help work with other dogs that are not well socialized or have anxiety issues. I am currently working two part time jobs as a research coordinator so I am typically able to be flexible with whatever schedule is requested. While my apartment does not have a fenced yard, I do have a large dog crate if needed and have knowledge of many dog parks and trails in the St Louis area.

“I have no words to express how pleased and blessed we are to have found Katie on this platform. For a long time, we hesitated to leave our puppies Dexter and Lilly in someone else's care due to Dexter’s medical condition who suffers from seizures, thyroid, and arthritic problems, which requires medical treatment 4 times a day with everything what that includes. Also, Lilly being a very affectionate rescued dog but super nervous and difficult to get on trust with other adults. Finding Katie has allowed us to feel very relieved and confident that our puppies are receiving not only the best care and attention, but also the most genuine affection that anyone can give us. Like everything in life, there is a time to adapt to changes, however, Katie and her family made this adaptation for Dexter and Lilly and for us also the best! Katie, thank for your patience, understanding, constant communication and love for our babies, we are happy to be able to count on you for the care of our furry babies.”
“Shannon was very kind. She really was patient with my elderly dog. She was also sitting another pup who kept my fur baby company. She sent me pictures daily. I really appreciate that. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me
“I cannot say enough good things about Sarah. We added a 5 month old puppy to our pack two weeks before leaving town, and she took our older dog and this new addition without missing a beat. I was a nervous wreck before leaving, but Sarah calmed all my nerves and was so calm about the whole process that we were able to leave town with a sense of peace. Photos and updates daily really helped put our minds at ease while traveling, also! Sarah has an intuitiveness with dogs that not everyone has, and she was the perfect match for us. We're so grateful for the excellent care she took of our girls!”
“Julia took amazing care of my dog for over 3 weeks strait while I was away on travel. So happy my pup had a great home to spend time at while I was away.”
“Cait and her family have taken such great care of Teddy a few times now. We know he has a blast there with their sweet pup Honey and is given lots of love. Cait is great with communication and always sends daily updates.”
“Jordan is a wonderful sitter who takes great care of Nala. I feel completely comfortable each time I drop off Nala to stay with her. I appreciate the consistent updates and flexibility in scheduling.”
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”
“My dog can be a handful sometimes and Laura was able to tame him. It’s clear that she’s a huge pet lover because she didn’t want to leave her home for any extended amount of time due to my dog having separation anxiety. She also provided me with photos, videos, and updates on how things were going.”
“Robert did an excellent job taking care of our dog that by the time I went to pick him up, he decided that he wants to continue to starly on the couch with his friend. I had to coax off the couch so that we could get going home since it was late when I picked up him. I would recommend him for anyone who needs their furrikids to be taken care in there absence.”
“Briana seriously saved us! Our original sitter canceled the same day right before our spring break trip, and Briana stepped in without hesitation. She kept us updated with pics and videos the whole time and was so friendly and easy to work with. Our dog Nyla enjoyed her stay so much! Especially the walks and dog park! We’ll definitely be using her again! Thank you sooo much Briana!! We appreciate you a lot!”
“Awesome person and very caring with animals. She sent me pictures and videos during my dog's stay and gave her treats when she wasn't eating. I already have another stay booked with her.”
“Sara was amazing. She took the time to pick up and drop off my dog, sent me updates including photos throughout the week, and gave Ren a bath as well. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you Sara!!”
“Christy was fantastic! She has great dog energy and was very communicative. I loved having updates, pictures and videos, so I always knew my dog was safe and happy. I will definitely be contacting her again in the future ☺️”
