“My pups loved their stay here! Alycia and her partner took such good care of them, sent us lots of pictures, and were super communicative. Will definitely be using them again!!”
“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!”
“Blake was AMAZING! He took my same-day booking when I had to travel last minute and my usual sitter fell through 🩷 it was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Woods with someone he didn’t know so I was nervous, but I got videos and updates throughout each day! Both me and Woods had a great experience and I’ll 100% be reaching out Blake in the future”
“Misty was the first and best pet sitter we found near by. Have used her twice and will be using again in Dec for our pup’s week long stay. Her kids were also very good with the pet and they all took good care of our puppy. Will recommend her and will be hiring her in future for sure.”
“Loved all the pictures and updates Jennifer sent to me during my trip. My kitten is newly adopted and I was nervous leaving her but Jennifer made me feel so much better. It was a very positive experience!”
“Best experience ever!! Reema was so sweet and took great care of our Maverick over the holidays. She kept in touch and sent photos daily. We would highly recommend her!”
“Caitlin and Adam were great with our puppy, and especially on such short notice!! When we picked her up, she was so tired and seemed to have so much fun with their family :) The updates were great and we are so grateful for their help, flexibility, and time this past weekend.”
“Leslie is a fabulous pet sitter! She updated me often with photos and I really appreciated that. She also followed up with me about when to bring our dogs home and she was prompt and reliable. I highly recommend Leslie. We actually have her already booked again for a future stay.”
“Oreo had a fantastic time staying with Stephanie while we were on vacation. It was so easy to book with her and she was really accommodating. We had the opportunity to extend our trip by a few days and she was totally flexible in making that happen for us. You can tell she really loves the dogs and has a lot of love for them. We loved getting little pictures with updates each night. We’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time we’re ready to travel!”
“I could tell Ruby enjoyed her time with Laura and her family! Laura was great with communication and sending photos and videos. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”
“She was amazing, sweet, & great with Marley! She made sure to walk Marley everyday which is his favorite thing to do & she also made sure she walked him before it got too hot which I really appreciate! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”
“Sonja was amazing. She took such a good care of our Teddy. She made sure he felt comfortable,since he gets very shy with unfamiliar people. Sonja did daily update with pictures,and that was huge relief for us knowing he is in such good hands. Definitively we will use Sonja's service in future.”
“Beth was great! Katie had a good time and it was nice knowing she was well cared for while we were gone for the weekend. Beth was also very accommodating as we didn’t know our exact return time on Sunday.”

So kind and respectful and she took amazing care of my cats while I was away and it was my first time having an “outsider” take care of them and with the check-ins and photos, I felt so comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Katie for anyone looking for help.”

About: Furbabies have a special place in my heart, although I love all animals. I have taken care of various friend's and family member's pets including cats, dogs, bearded dragon, fish, and would be open to consider other types of animals depending on their needs and my availability. I will ensure clean water, food on time or as needed, and pristine litter areas are accessible.
“Our normal sitter had a family emergency right before the holidays, and we are so thankful we found Kate in time for our kitties! Two of them need daily medications, and we have had hit or miss luck with different sitters (not from Rover) in the past, but all the cats loved her (even the one that normally hides!) and they all seem to be very relaxed and not panicked when we got home this time! We will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends in the area!”

About: I help with pets often. Neighbors trust me to walk, play, and care for their animals. I enjoy playing outside and cuddling with animals. I can’t wait to meet new animals. I work from home 2 days a week and I work in the office short 5 hour days during the week with no evenings or weekends. I have a private, fenced, level yard. I have a no outlet neighborhood for nice safe walks. I enjoy playing the back yard, going for walks and snuggles too.
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs, my own dogs since I was 10 years old. We’ve always had a dog in our home. Up to getting my own puppies and training them. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kiddos and we’re home a lot. We love to be outdoors and playing outside. We’d have no problem letting your dog out or playing with them. I have a big fenced in yard and a very friendly pup to keep yours company! If you would like your dog caged, I can do that as well.
About: I’ve been up around animals my whole life and have experience with all different types. I’m comfortable with pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m reliable when it comes to sticking to routines, whether that’s specific feeding times, multiple daily walks, or just giving your pet the attention they’re used to. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your pet like my own while you’re away. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime. I also go on several walks throughout the day for dogs that need extra exercise or energy release. I’m available for boarding in my home, as well as drop-in visits and check-ins throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run around and explore, and I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable while in my care. I’m happy to follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, or special requests to help your pet feel at home. I can care for pets at my house or make visits to your home throughout the day to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

If there were more stars than five I'd give them all!”

I am a part time nanny with two families who both have animals whom I love. So I am currently looking for more ways to expand my love towards animals! I currently am not able to board pets due to my living situation, but I have worked in other peoples homes and farm yards since I was around 14 years old!
“Kat did a fabulous job walking my dog 3 times a day while at grandma's house. She really helped out when the dog wouldn't get in the car to be transported to my mother's home for his stay. She was flexible, very personable, and responsible. Kat was just a delight. I am not sure who enjoyed Kat's help more, my mother or my dog! This was my first time using the service and will use again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. My first word was my neighbor’s dog’s name, Ashley! I have been a trusted dog, cat, lizard, and fish sitter for 10 years, and would love to continue! I have experience with elderly and young dogs, and administering medication. I recently got a full time position and am looking for something to do on the side. I am punctual, and patient. I know how it feels to love a pet with your whole heart (even if that pet wasn't mine). I have weekends free, and am free for walks around lunch and in the evening on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have never met a dog I didn’t love and I would love to meet yours! I’m currently working full time but work from home Monday and Friday. Right down the street from Tower Grove Park, where it’s sniff heaven! I love to go for walks and can fit them in the morning, evening and around noon. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I’m more than happy to go on long walks and training/sniff activities to work through some energy and add some mental stimulation!
About: Empathetic and caring towards pets. My first pet was a fish, named Cogi. Since then I've had a gerbil, dog (bichon frise) named Casso, and now have two cats (littermates - part maine coon - Sage & Chowder). I have enjoyed times when I volunteered with child care and senior care facilities in the past as well. Always enjoy spending time with and connecting with pets. Rarely if ever meet any pet I have difficulty connecting with. I'm currently self employed, studying for MO real estate exam & license, and often engaged in other opportunities on the side as well. However, despite my busy schedule at times, I am quite proficient at juggling tasks, maintaining physical & mental health, eating healthy, exercising when possible, and still prioritizing pet care in the midst of it all! I can bring toys, treats, food, litter or anything needed, but am not currently boarding pets at my residence. I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) feel comfortable, clean up after myself and any pet(s), and keep you informed of anything out of the normal.
