“Rachell took care of my dog like he was one of her own! He was able to get all the socialization, playtime, and cuddles that he needs. Rachell sent me pictures and kept me updated on my dog so I never once worried.”
“Eric and Morgan were super responsive and friendly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter! They also accepted my booking request right after I made it even though it was short-notice”
“Freckles was well taken care of and we had no worries leaving him with Dave. We received pictures and updates daily and will definitely use Dave going forward when we need a sitter!”
“Samantha and her family were fantastic with Fannie, she was very responsive to a last minute request and kept us in the loop on how the weekend was going with our sweet girl. Fannie had a great time :)”
“Davey has been excellent with Clifford! He's been a lifesaver for me while I'm going through a difficulty and am needing some last-minute dog boarding. Clifford is excited when he gets to go back and seems to be very well taken of! I would definitely recommend Davey to my friends/family!!”
“Our dog, Lucky, was very well taken care of. Believe he was disappointed to leave all the friends he made in his short stay. Lucky was bored being the only dog in our house. It took a couple of days and he's back to normal. We will use Sarah again for sure.”
“Laura was beyond excellent! Caring and attentive towards every detail I gave her regarding my dog's care, on top of which she sent me regular updates and pictures, and even got him extra treats and toys to make his stay more enjoyable! I will 100% be using her again.”
“Stephanie was wonderful and she took great care of our sweet pup while we were gone. She communicated with us daily, sent multiple pictures, and was always very prompt to respond to all questions. Upon our return after 9 days, it was clear that our dog was loved and well cared for - he was happy and he even came home with some goodies. We will absolutely have him stay with her again and I would recommend her for sure!”
“Tim did an amazing job taking care of our puppy! He was very communicative and gave us updates daily. Tim was very nice and Gabby had a great time. We will definitely use him in the future!”
About: I'm a big fan of caring for animals, and I have lots of energy to provide your pet with all the attention they deserve. If your dog wants to walk, we'll get in a good walk, but if your dog wants to run, I'm also able to put in the miles so we both get some exercise. I don't have experience with training puppies, but I am happy to support any on-going training by following through with established protocols (specific feeding times or amounts, specific walk times, etc.). I have a flexible job that allows me to build my own schedule from week to week, so I have lots of time to care for pet needs. All pets will have their basic needs met plus more! I will attend to whatever is needed with love and care - feeding, walking, playing, snuggling, and cleaning up all the messes that can come with animals too.
“"I have a 14-year-old dog who is very picky and sensitive. Crystal and Market treated her wonderfully and made her feel as comfortable as if she were at home. When I picked her up, I could tell she was completely relaxed and happy. I am so glad to have found my long term dog sitter for the future.”
About: Honestly I love taking care of animals. I have a few of my own. Salem (cat) and Oscar (pup) Salem is very laid back and so friendly it’s insane. And Oscar being a puppy loves being around anyone and any pet. I currently work full time M-F but please know I will always make time for your fur babies. I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and I’m always available on weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard unfortunately but I do have a big grass area behind my house. We have a dog park we can go to nearby if permitted by owner
“Sonja treated our dog so well I'm surprised he wanted to come home. She sent pictures while we were away of their trip to a park, snuggles, playing, chewing on a bone, and looking very happy. We are happy to have such a high-quality dog sitter!”
“Five stars! This was our first time leaving the dogs with someone in Rover. I was very nervous. The dogs loved Sherry and we will use her again in the future. She sends pictures with updates. Sherry is kind and understanding. Our little senior chihuahua has a lot of trust issues and doesn’t care for people, but he enjoyed Sherry’s company. Thank you Sherry for keeping our kiddos safe and happy!”
“Jennifer was a fabulous host for our cat Ferguson. We got lots of photos and he clearly got lots of playtime. He didn't even want to leave when we came to get him and she only had him for 3 nights! Will definitely use again. Thank you!!”
“Amy was simply amazing! She cared for Vino and Nuggets like she would her own dogs and I know they loved her and Peter, her husband! I can’t thank her enough because we were able to enjoy our vacation and know our dogs were well cared for! She takes great pictures too!”
“We did a trial weekend with Beth, just a little sleepover for both of our pups. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and has a lot of anxiety when put in new situations. Beth kept me updated with pictures and messages about how she was improving and making strides at being around them! Beth and her family are just the best. She will be our go to sitter for both our pups in the future! ❤️”
“Awesome....does more need to be said lol...always kept me updated and responded to my messages and my pup had a blast he got plenty of attention and lovins...he can't wait to go back ?”
“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”

“Hire this woman! I needed to find a pet sitter for a week very last minute and I found Brittany. I’ve never left my cat Dutch with anyone so I was definitely stressed. But I knew within minutes of meeting Bri I had chosen the right person. My cat is very shy but she warmed right up to Bri. The pics and vids I got during my time away showed how happy Dutch was with her sitter. I was surprised at how well it went. She was playing and getting brushed and petted and so obviously calm and content even though she was alone for the first time and couldn’t go outside. Bri also did thoughtful things like get my mail and take out my trash. She made me feel comfortable leaving my home as well as my baby cat. She was a great communicator throughout my time away with good updates. She made it much easier to enjoy myself and not worry about my baby. It was obvious Dutch had been well cared for when I got home. She did not seem at all traumatized by being suddenly left alone so long for the first time, with strangers and stuck inside. I think that really speaks to how good Brittany is with animals. Take my advice and save some clicks and choose Brittany. She is sweet and kind with a big heart. She is all the things you want your babies to have. Bri is the next best thing to being there yourself. I highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Barbara was incredible. I can’t think of a better way to describe her. She brought toys to play with our cat Falcon. She was respectful with Pixel who is a grouchy old kitty cat. She did an excellent job communicating with us every day. I am beyond impressed. I am absolutely booking Barbara for our next vacation. She is the best sitter we have ever had.”

Midnight potty runs do not affect me and am happy to accommodate to your dog or cats needs. I am completely ok with cleaning liter boxes or pee pads.

“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”

Pet care fits into my daily routine because I stay at home and can take care of my pet throughout the day. I feed them, give them water, play with them, and make sure they are comfortable.

In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and keeping the pet comfortable while the owner is away.

“My husband and I have never gone anywhere without our precious Molly. We have our son’s destination wedding to attend this month. We have both agonized over leaving Molly behind. A kennel or doggy day care was definitely out of the question. I had heard of Rover so we checked it out. Karissa is a Godsend. Her yard is perfect, she is affectionate and I know in my heart Molly will be exceptionally well cared for. We dropped Molly off this week for a trial day before leaving her a whole week. Karissa kept us updated with pictures and notes throughout the stay. Finding Karissa has eased our anxiety about leaving Molly. I highly recommend checking with Karissa if you are looking for a passionate, reliable sitter.”
“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”

About: My wife and I are a dedicated pet-loving team who will treat your pets like family. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, and my wife is a trained veterinarian with over 10 years of experience in Mexico. She’s currently working as a vet tech as she works towards the ECFVG certification which will allow her to practice as a veterinarian here in the U.S., bringing a deep understanding of animal health and behavior to every visit. We currently share our home with 3 dogs, 1 cat, 9 chickens, and 2 turkeys—so we’re no strangers to pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and kind, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, experienced hands with us. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and care throughout the day. I’m often outside with our own dogs, so your pet will enjoy lots of fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My wife works four days a week but is home in the mornings and afternoons, so between the two of us, someone is almost always around to give your pet the attention they need. Whether your dog loves being active or just relaxing with company, they’ll feel right at home here. Your pet’s safety is our top priority. We have a fenced backyard where smaller dogs can roam safely. For larger dogs, we use a secure tie-out cable system to give them outdoor time while keeping them safely contained. Inside the home, we can easily separate pets if needed—our basement and main living area are fully divided, making it simple to create calm, stress-free environments for each animal. Our chickens and turkeys are kept in a fully enclosed outdoor coop, well away from visiting pets, so there’s no risk of unwanted interactions. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, secure, and attentive environment

Happy to assist! I would love them as my own! They will never have a dry water bowl, they will get all the lovins they need and I look forward to walks and other adventures.
“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!!

About: Welcome! We are a passionate, animal-loving mother-daughter team ready to give your pets the royal treatment. My lifelong love for animals started with my childhood beagles, followed by a schnauzer, and has grown to include four dogs of my own, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon, and numerous fish! We are starting this venture this summer to help my daughter build her skills and chase her lifelong dream. Ever since she was 4 years old, she has wanted to be a veterinarian—she even has a master plan to build a vet practice and a petting zoo on the exact same property! I love her animal-loving spirit and want to support her dream in every way I can. We work as a dedicated team she will be taking the profits and placing them into her savings account), so rest assured that your fur babies will truly become our fur babies while they are in our care. We can't wait to meet your pets! As a school district employee, I am currently on summer break until August! This means my schedule is wide open, and pet care is my main focus right now. My daughter and I are home almost all day, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, constant supervision, and plenty of playtime. Whether your dog needs a structured routine, midday walks, or just lots of couch cuddles and companionship, we have the flexibility to match their exact needs. Once school starts back up in August, we will transition to evening and weekend care, but for the summer, your pup will get our full, undivided attention! Because our own dog prefers to be an 'only child' and a single-sibling fur baby, we exclusively offer care in your home! When you trust us with your pets, my daughter and I will treat your home with the utmost respect, exactly as if it were our own. For House Sitting, we adapt entirely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. This includes their regular feeding schedule, medication administration if needed, and plenty of play and cuddle time. For Drop-In Visits or Walks, we ensure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and of course, lots of love. We also always make sure your home is secure before we leave and will send you plenty of photo updates so you can see how much fun we are having!
“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”
“Brittany has been wonderful to work with! She’s been patient with our shifting schedule, and very kind to our Meeka dog! We are so grateful to have found her on Rover. It’s a relief to know that Meeka is in good hands with Brittany’s attention while we’re away.”

While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and love seeing their joy when they see me walk in the door! I am very good with anxious dogs as I currently have a shy and anxious pup. He takes medications so I am also familiar with administer medications to pups should that be needed! I will be working as a pharmacy resident and I’m looking to make some extra cash doing something I love. I’d love to work more time into being outside and what better way to get outside than with pets! In my home I have a fenced in yard so my pup and I can play outside and he can run free. While fenced yards are great, enrichment outside the home is also very valuable so walks are also a staple!
About: i’ve been taking care of friends, family, and neighbors fur babies for the past nine years of my life, and I absolutely love every single one of them. I love all of them all sizes and breeds it does not matter to me. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for five years. I also have previous training experience working with young puppies so i’m able to work with them as well. :) I’m working currently part-time and only have classes a couple days a week for an hour. I’m very flexible and available on an as needed basis for you and your fur babies! Safety is my number one priority. I will never put your fur babies in harms way or put them in uncomfortable situations. I treat each pup as if they were my own. I’m very big on schedules/routine. If you have one you’d like to stick to, I will happily oblige.
About: I've grown up with many different types of dogs. I learned at a young age the importance of walks, exercise, how to love and care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog-sat for multiple families in the past, sometimes up to a week, and end up creating life-long bonds with each 4-legged friend! I currently work remotely, making my own schedule apart from an in-person part-time job that is about 14 hours a week. My availability: Mondays all day, Tuesdays after 5, Wednesdays after 1, Thursdays after 5, Fridays after 1, Saturdays all day, Sundays between 12 and 4. (Starting in June I will be available pretty much all day everyday!) I have two cats and rent, so care would need to be at your home, which I am comfortable with. I am trustworthy and dependable and will have eyes on your furry friend at all times!
About: I have owned a few dogs, and have watched over many more! I love dogs and am looking forward to meeting new dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am currently working a part time job that is flexible. I am willing to do all tasks assigned from walking to feeding to bathing. I am friendly but will be serious when needed to properly care for the dog. The dog will always be the top priority. I will follow all instructions left by the owner, while also having fun with dog. I can take the dog on walks, to the park, and even swimming! I have a car to get whenever I need to be and I am always on time. While this will be an extra job for me I will be sure to treat it like my only job!
About: Hi! My name is Elyse. I am a graduate of the University of Missouri - Columbia and currently work for a healthcare company in the St. Louis area, but also love taking care of cats and dogs! I am so excited about the opportunity to take care of your pets! I have had pets all of my life - dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, frogs, you name it! I have 13 years of experience caring for all pets, even those with special needs. My goal is to not only take care of your animals and make sure they are happy and healthy, but to make sure you have ease of mind while you are away. I will take them on walks, administer any kind of medication if needed, play with them, send you check-in texts and photos, and comply with any other requests you may have! I strive to find ways to connect with your pet, whether they are low or high energy. All it takes is patience and maybe a treat :) Even though I work a full-time job, I will do everything in my power to be flexible for you and your pet. If you require specific times for care, we can make it work! I care for pets in clients' homes by making sure they are greeted/acknowledged. Sometimes it takes a while for them to calm down. :) Checking on food and water is my next task. I will let your pet outside/on the leash, walk them and play with them. Depending on the service, I will stay however long you would like me to for house sitting and drop-ins. I will ensure all doors are locked, the space is tidied up, and follow any other directions you may have while house sitting.

For the past year I have taken care of 2 other dogs and the best quality that I have is I am flexible and will do last minute tasks for the clients I have.

About: I'm a big fan of caring for animals, and I have lots of energy to provide your pet with all the attention they deserve. If your dog wants to walk, we'll get in a good walk, but if your dog wants to run, I'm also able to put in the miles so we both get some exercise. I don't have experience with training puppies, but I am happy to support any on-going training by following through with established protocols (specific feeding times or amounts, specific walk times, etc.). I have a flexible job that allows me to build my own schedule from week to week, so I have lots of time to care for pet needs. All pets will have their basic needs met plus more! I will attend to whatever is needed with love and care - feeding, walking, playing, snuggling, and cleaning up all the messes that can come with animals too.

When I picked her up, I could tell she was completely relaxed and happy. I am so glad to have found my long term dog sitter for the future.”

She will be our go to sitter for both our pups in the future! ❤️”

“This was our first experience with the Rover.com app. I was a little nervous leaving my baby for 10 days, I have to admit. But Blake was awesome with our dog and me. He has 2 sweet dogs and they all got along great. He sent me pics and communicated with me daily. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor space. I will def use him again. Our pup can be finicky but she did great. All Good!!!”
“Paula does a wonderful job with my boy Chubbs..I’ve used her several times. And I no longer have any worries or concerns when I drop him off with her. I know he is in good hands with her. She typically has other dogs she is watching so he has playmates that keep him busy and active. He sleeps hard for days after I pick him up, so I know he was having a good time.”
