Personalized care for your dog or cat - Matson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Matson
“Highly recommend Evan! We booked him about a week ago for a four-hour sitting job while we went out to a show. He was wonderfully communicative and kept us updated. It gave us great peace of mind, and Rocket was happy and totally content when we picked him up.”
“Dawn made me feel very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the week. She is very personable and obviously a pet person. She sent photos and communication. I could tell when we picked him up he was happy and not nervous. I feel like he really enjoyed his time with Dawn. We will definitely utilize her as a second family for Paco in the future. thanks Dawn!”
“I had a great experience with Saranya. They were communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about my pet’s well-being. 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!”
“Quick to reply and very accommodating for drop off and pickup! It was a relief to have someone watching him while on vacation where he didnt need to be crated all day! He enjoyed playing with the other dogs as well!”
“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.”
“Katie is the best!! Our two dogs stayed with her for a week while we were away. We had continuous communication, along with pictures, the entire time. You could tell they were having a great time! Once they came home they crashed hard. We will definitely have Katie watch them again, if she’ll allow these two crazies back!! Highly recommend”
“This is our second time using Madhu. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Marguerite and her family for our dog-sitting needs. Our dogs are like our babies, and finding someone who treats them with the same love and care that we do is priceless. Mahda and her family are incredibly caring and sweet, treating our pups like part of their own family. From the very first time we left our dogs with them, we knew they were in the best hands. They always keep us updated with photos and messages, so we never have to worry about how our fur babies are doing. The level of trust we have in them is immense, and it brings us such peace of mind knowing our dogs are happy and well-cared for when we're away. Madhu's home is truly a second home for our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the care they receive. We will continue to rely on them for all our dog-sitting needs and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you, Madhu & Bharath and family, for everything you do for our furry babies.”
“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.”
“Amie did a great job taking care of Coco and Boomer! We will definitely contact you in the future if we ever need a dog sitter. I appreciate the pictures and updates while we were on vacation.”
“I don’t ever need to look for another sitter again after finding Tiffiny and her family. She was amazing for the entire time my boy stayed with her. She was above and beyond and always made sure I was up to date and had pictures and videos everyday. Book with her if you care about your pets safety because they will be taken very great care of.”
“Bryan was great! Very responsive to communication, flexible, and sent photos of Fritz while we were away. This was my first time using Rover and Bryan was so understanding of my concerns with leaving Fritz, who is a senior dog. He took the time to meet with me and Fritz beforehand which I greatly appreciated. Fritz was well taken care of and loved. I will definitely use Bryan in the future!”
“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!”

“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.”

I know ways to turn simple household items into treat puzzles that activate their naturally clever minds and love walking them outside so they can explore!
“I HIGHLY recommend Iris as a cat sitter. Her warm , personable demeanor is noticeable from the moment I met her. Her love for cats is evident by the great care she gave my 2 cats for the 9 days she had them. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages on how they were doing. They were well cared for. I am deeply grateful. I will recommend Iris to family and friends in need of a cat sitter. Thank you Iris!”

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.
“Jaclyn is definitely good with pets and I would highly recommend her services. She instantly bonded with my cat and spend time with him while I was away. She also brought some toys which my kitty enjoyed (and still does). Jaclyn also visited before I left on my trip show I could show her around. She also provided very extensive reports and photos of her visits.”
“Ruth did a great job with drop in visits to care for my 2 cats while gone on vacation. I received pictures every visit and updates on how they were. Despite my older cat Milly being a bit antisocial, Leo warmed up to her immediately and loved the extra attention he received. Ruth cleaned my rugs where Milly had spit up, even offering to launder them. It was a relief knowing they were being cared for while we were gone.”
About: I’m an animal lover and pet owner just looking to help other pet parents. I can take your dog on runs or hikes if desired, or we can just go for a casual stroll. I’ve dog sat and house sat in the past, so let me give you some peace of mind when you are traveling! Your pets will be loved like one of my own and given the best care possible. I am in between jobs right now so I have lots of flexibilty, even on holidays! No pet is too big or too small and no task too hard! I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and horses. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate almost any needs at any time of day. Please reach out to me with your specific schedule and I will see what I can do to assist. I do not currently take pets in my home for boarding as I have a dog who prefers to be the center of attention. But I am willing to and comfortable with providing any sort of care in the comfort of your pet’s home. I am more than happy to facilitate outside activities like hikes, parks, or even just socialization outings. If your pet has any special needs at home, I am more than happy to listen and accommodate!
About: I've taken care of a multitude of different dogs since I was 13-14. Neighbors, friends, family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. I feed, walk, bathe, and nourish their pets as if they were my own. I'm currently in school still right now but I have plenty of time on the weekends and after 3pm during the week. Once the summer picks up I will be more available I come with a positive attitude ready to take care of your pets as if they were mine. I find joy in the outdoors so taking your animals out to get some fresh air is no problem.
“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!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Matson
About: I am a Veterinary Technician and a Professional Dog Trainer with over 10 years of experience. With a degree in Animal Science and extensive hands-on experience, I understand that safety is the top priority for every pet owner. When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience. In addition to boarding, we offer professional Training and Grooming services tailored to each dog's needs. My husband works nights and is home during the day to provide expert care and supervision for your pets. As dedicated owners of show dogs, we take pet care seriously and strive to maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our services. Our property features two fully fenced yards for play and exercise. The first is a secure 6-foot chain link and privacy-fenced potty yard, measuring approximately 20 ft x 60 ft. The second is a spacious, fully fenced double lot with rolling hills and lush grass, providing the perfect environment for your pet to run, play, and explore. *Dogs in our care must be crate trained during down time & at night. When we are not at Dog Shows or Training we are at home with our dogs. My husband works nights which means your pets will be left alone minimally. We have 2 fully fenced in yards. A smaller yard with 6ft privacy fence and a large play yard with 4ft roller panels. We do offer medical boarding on a case by case basis at an additional rate.
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.
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.
“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: 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.
“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.”
“I met Damica early this morning to drop off Bentley and she was more than welcoming. It seems he really took a liking to her. He acted really well, and she sent me many updates about his day and progress at her home and he did amazing. He was more than ready for bed when we got home…lol I loved it. We will be booking again 100%”
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.

“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! ❤️”
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.
“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.”
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.
“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!”
About: We love any and all animals! We have two fur babies of our own that love to meet new friends. We have cared for animals with special needs, have lots of experience with a variety of needs and personalities, and I have trained a service dog of my own! Your pets will be treated like family! Lots of play time, rubs and loves, treats, and snuggles! There is plenty of sidewalks and trails in our neighborhood for fun walks we frequently take our dogs on. Your pets can tag along with us if you’d like as well! Your babies are guaranteed to have a world of fun while you’re away, and come home tails wagging! We love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and can't wait to me yours!

About: I've administered diabetic medication and pills for years and am very comfortable doing so. I work well with high needs pets, especially those older in age and disabled.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life! From puppies to seniors, big to small breeds, I love and can provide proper care for all. I’ve dog sat and house sat for over 5 years and thoroughly enjoy spending my time with animals :) I’m a student enrolled in virtual classes so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m pretty much always able to work around whoever needs sitting! I offer drop ins to keep your pets company, let them out, feed them, and give them the love and attention they need. I can house sit as well but prefer a meet and greet before to establish trust and safety!

There are a total of 5 family members, including one teenager who is 17 years old. I do have 2 other dogs as well.

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 have had dogs in my house all my life! My family runs a dog grooming store, handling as many as 100-130 clients a week. I have worked in the retail and food service for the last 5 years and have great professional skills and patience. Give your pooch a chance with me and they’ll feel exceptionally loved and tended to! My only other job is Uber Eats, so I am completely flexible! Let me know what times work for you. I am completely open all 7 days of the week and am willing to spend the night! Whether you want your dog tended to part time or full time, I’m here for it! A dog must feel safe in order to feel at home. It is my duty and goal to ensure the safety of your dog. When introducing myself, I will get down on my knees and open my hands for him or her to sniff. From there on, I strive to be as loyal and loving as your dog is!
“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”
About: Fostered 11 dogs with my local animal rescue groups. While the fosters were under my care, I would work on basic training and making sure I understood them so I could find them the right home. I have had multiple animals (horses,cats,sheep,goats,mules, rabbits, chickens, you get the picture. ) my whole life. Grew up with puppies being born multiple times a year. I had a 114lb lab mix for 8.5 years and he passed in February. So I'm used to the big dogs. Currently we have 2 cats. I am the kids chauffeur. One child is in hillsboro while the others in ofallon. Wed-fri im in ofallon with down time so I am free during school hours. I will love on and give your pets the attention that they require. I'm capable of feeding, watering,playing, giving any oral medication as needed,having the pet "kennel up" when necessary.

“I had a great experience with Saranya. They were communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about my pet’s well-being. 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!”
“Quick to reply and very accommodating for drop off and pickup! It was a relief to have someone watching him while on vacation where he didnt need to be crated all day! He enjoyed playing with the other dogs as well!”
“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.”
“Katie is the best!! Our two dogs stayed with her for a week while we were away. We had continuous communication, along with pictures, the entire time. You could tell they were having a great time! Once they came home they crashed hard. We will definitely have Katie watch them again, if she’ll allow these two crazies back!! Highly recommend”
“This is our second time using Madhu. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Marguerite and her family for our dog-sitting needs. Our dogs are like our babies, and finding someone who treats them with the same love and care that we do is priceless. Mahda and her family are incredibly caring and sweet, treating our pups like part of their own family. From the very first time we left our dogs with them, we knew they were in the best hands. They always keep us updated with photos and messages, so we never have to worry about how our fur babies are doing. The level of trust we have in them is immense, and it brings us such peace of mind knowing our dogs are happy and well-cared for when we're away. Madhu's home is truly a second home for our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the care they receive. We will continue to rely on them for all our dog-sitting needs and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you, Madhu & Bharath and family, for everything you do for our furry babies.”
“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.”
“I don’t ever need to look for another sitter again after finding Tiffiny and her family. She was amazing for the entire time my boy stayed with her. She was above and beyond and always made sure I was up to date and had pictures and videos everyday. Book with her if you care about your pets safety because they will be taken very great care of.”
“Lara was amazing with my pup! I accidentally scheduled for the wrong dates and she adjusted her schedule to help me. She would send pictures daily and my pup always looked so happy! She made sure Ollie got a lot of time outdoor and was able to wear off her energy. I recommend Lara to anyone who is looking to book!! 🩷”
“Rachel did an amazing job keeping me informed about Marty throughout the time I was gone and really made me feel comfortable being away from him. I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog-sitter!”
“Tara did an amazing job with our corgi. This was our first time leaving Gemma for a few days so she was a bit nervous. Tara kept in touch with us the whole time and sent us pictures. Definitely will be using her again for our next vacation”
“Taylor & Sam were amazing! Communicative, treated the dogs so well. Daily updates & lots of exercise. Also flexible because of my hectic schedule. I haven’t felt this comfortable with someone watching my dogs for awhile. Great job!”
“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”
“Dawn was so awesome sending me photos and updates. She clearly loves animals and is very professional and nice. Her dog is really sweet. My dog was a total jerk the whole time and peed and pooped in her house and she was really nice about it. I felt so bad! Highly recommend.”
