Highly-rated overnight sitters - Murphy
“This was the first time ever leaving my dog and my anxiety was extremely high! Sherry made the experience amazing with daily pics and updates! I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Misty and her family took great care of our golden retriever! She sent pictures of our happy pup, and our dog returned back to our routine at home without skipping a beat. We already booked our dog's next stay with Misty :)”
“Blake was amazing with my Pups! Picked them up and dropped them off for me. Even clipped their nails. That sounds simple but my lab absolutely hates it (sounds like you are murdering her and takes two people). He sent me a photo of her relaxed and smiling lol. Absolutely will be using him again”
“Melissa and her family took great care of my dogs. She sent lots of photos and they always looked comfortable and well cared for. I know the boys were happy to come home but they were probably sad to go, because they got a lot of love and pets at her house.”
“What a wonderful experience! Stephanie has really set herself up well to look after your dog, especially if your dog likes play dates! Easy drop off and pick up, and a happy, tired dog at the end. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
“Lorri always takes such great care of Albus. He clearly loves staying with her too! She is great at sending updates and pictures and we always feel comfortable when traveling knowing he’s in good hands.”
“Rachell sent pictures and had a big yard for Lacey. I know Lacey is glad to be back home, but she won't be as anxious next time she visits Rachell and her new bird and dog friends.”

“They were great with my dogs and my dogs can be a LOT. They provided me with daily updates. This was my first time using this service and I would definitely use them again.”
“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.”
“Carly and her family were the best sitters for Coco we could have asked for! Coco had so much fun she almost didn’t want to come home! We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking with Carly again!”
“Paula is truly the best! She cared for my senior pup as if she was her own and always went above and beyond. I never had to worry, Bella was always in great hands. I’m so thankful I found Paula during my time in St. Louis. We’ll miss her so much!!”
“Extremely satisfied with boarding our dog with Sarah. Our dog, Twink, did not experience any post problems after her stay. Intend to board our dog with Sarah again in the future.”

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life. While I’m not ready to adopt yet, I’d love to care for yours. I’ve fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend’s cat for about a year during COVID, and have cat-sat for friends many times. I also have some experience with dogs through friends—walking them together, spending time at dog parks, and playing with them at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.
About: I've had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. I started a neighborhood pet care business back in elementary school, and that early love for animals turned into a lifelong habit of helping friends and family whenever their pets needed a caring hand. I've owned cats and dogs over the years, and they've always been a pivotal part of our family. I understand that cats have their own rhythm they like routine, a calm presence, and someone who respects their space while still giving them love and attention on their terms. I'd love the opportunity to keep your cat safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether it's feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or just quiet company, I'll treat your cat like one of my own.
“Sara took great care of both my cats, Jasper and Ella. She even went back to check on Ella when she was hiding, and sent me photo confirmation that gave me peace of mind. Reliable and caring highly recommend.”
“Having Linda drop in on my kitties everyday for 2 1/2 weeks has taken all the stress out of leaving them. Linda has been a wonderful pet sitter and their new best friend! Communication was excellent and I will definitely book 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.”
“Rebecca did a amazing job caring for my cat Benny . She even came out in very bad weather to do the drop in visit that I requested . She went above and beyond caring for him . I highly recommend her to care for any fur baby .”

Weekends and evenings kids are home for playtime! we have a fenced in backyard, and plenty of room inside for a crate and/or bed for your pet! plenty of room to safely roam around indoors or out.
About: I have had a dog my entire life growing up. My parents relied on me to take care of my childhood dog and I learned so much just by doing that. I am now 30 and got my own puppy about four years ago. I lover her so much! I give her biweekly baths, daily walks and hourly playtime! Whether it is a walk, daycare or overnight stay, you can trust me to love and care for your pup! I am a teacher so I have the summers off to take care of your dog! I like to wake up early and take my own dog on a walk to start my day. I have a very free and flexible schedule! I have a fenced in yard and mini Bernedoodle who loves all dogs! I am very responsible and my house and yard are extremely dog friendly.
“Second time in a row using Ella! She’s a wonderful pet sitter! My cats really love her! The photo updates she sends are the best! I will be using her again for sure! Thank you so much, Ella! You rock!”
About: Although I myself do not have experience as a cat owner, I have watched my brothers cats many times throughout the years! If your cat needs someone to play with or someone to hang out with, I am the perfect person! I have loved animals all my life which has made me pursue a degree in biology on the vet track! I am working part time at a wildlife rescue center where I practice clinical skills on many wildlife showing how careful I am. If you need someone to administer meds or do fluids, I’d love to help!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Murphy
“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”
“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!”
“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: Charismatic and outgoing animal lover with 16 years experience owning pets, and hundreds of hours volunteering at the humane society in 3 different states. I grew up with cats, but could not own a dog until I moved out on my own, so I quickly got my first baby Alice the first chance I could. My fur babies include a 13 year old sweet beagle mix, Alice 🌈 and two gentle loving cats, Poppy and Millie. All of my animals have been around other animals their whole lives and get along with all creatures. I prefer not to board cats, but can keep your cat in a closed bedroom for their stay. I would love to open my doors to help out families in need of a more personal way to board their pets when they are away. Your animals must get along with cats and small children. I have a very flexible schedule so I have the ability to care for your pet throughout the day, depending on your pets individuals needs. My pets have free range of the house. Visitors dogs can be crated if needed or have free range of the house if ok left unsupervised.
About: So I just love dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and will never not have one. I work from home and am very physically active so my lifestyle works well with dogs as I am around to simply hang out with the dogs or go on long walks if needed! Luckily I work from home as an attorney and am able to provide many walks and attention throughout the day. I also live in an area with a lake and multiple dog parks. I am extremely attentive with any dogs that I take care of. I will provide sitting with care and attention and make sure your dog is safe and taken care of.
About: I have had animals my entire life, dogs, cats, gerbils, ferrets, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish. I just love having animals and taking care of them. My job is flexible and I work from home most of the time so I can keep animals during the day and overnight. I will be able to take them on walks during the day. I can care for pets in my own home or come to your home to take care of them as needed. My back yard is huge and lots of room for dogs to run.
“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!”
“Holly is so kind and caring! My dog loves going to her house. She watched him for me while I am at work. I really appreciate her flexibility with my schedule since it changed every week. She send photos of my dog throughout the day to keep me updated. Super happy I found her and will continue to use her to watch my dog.”
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

About: Hi my name is Aaron, I am a 21 year old dog lover and would love to care for your dogs too! Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. Along with caring for my own dogs, I’ve also dog sat for friends, family, and other owners. I’m happy to stick to your dog’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just giving them plenty of attention and companionship.

I care for every pet like they are my own. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and a comfortable environment while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, potty breaks, medication if needed, and lots of companionship.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors.

She’s reliable and efficient, with great communication through the Rover app. I highly recommend Amber!”
About: I've had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. I started a neighborhood dog walking business back in elementary school, and that early love for pets turned into a lifelong habit of helping out whenever friends and family needed a hand with their furry companions. I've owned both cats and dogs over the years, and they've always been a pivotal part of our family. I know firsthand how much they matter, and how much peace of mind it takes to leave them in someone else's care. I'd love the opportunity to help keep your pet safe, happy, and energized while you're away. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'll treat your pet like one of my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits, walks, and playtime throughout the day, including weekdays. I'm not offering overnight boarding at this time, but I'm happy to accommodate multiple visits per day or last-minute requests when needed. Just reach out and I'll do my best to work around your schedule! When I am visiting them in your home, my goal is always the same: to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For drop-in visits, I focus on sticking to your pet's normal routine, feeding times, potty breaks, medication if needed so there's as little disruption to their day as possible. I like to spend quality time with each pet, whether that's a walk, active playtime, or just calm companionship, depending on what they enjoy most. I always keep a close eye on their environment to make sure everything is safe and secure, and I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. Communication is important to me too so I'll keep you updated with photos or messages during visits so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I've cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents, and I treat every pet like they're my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to detail, whether that's following feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, maintaining habitats, or providing playtime and companionship. I have 4 years of volunteer experience caring for senior animals, so giving medications and providing extra care is no big deal for me. I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need a little extra patience. My goal is to make sure your pets stay happy, safe, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind with reliable, loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for to ensure they receive timely visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and plenty of attention. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special needs. I am also trained in animal CPR, which gives an added level of preparedness in case of an emergency. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure pets remain secure, comfortable, and stress-free. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve lived with pets (cats and dogs) since I was born, and I’ve been caring for them my entire adult life. In my spare time I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, large dogs, small dogs, chill dogs, energetic dogs, and everything in between. I am comfortable with training techniques and understanding animal body language and cues. I am a teacher by trade, so I am very organized, dependable, and patient. I have a very open summer. There are some camp drop offs and pick ups I need to account for this summer, but outside of that, the days are wide open. At my house I have a dog friendly medium sized dog. I have a six foot fenced yard. I also have the capability to keep pets on different floors or in different areas if they need space or privacy. I know how to be respectful of other people’s homes and am very comfortable adapting to different pets’ needs, especially since volunteering at the shelter.
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.
About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. 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 always been around animals and have always had animals, mostly dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs with special diets and ones that have needed insulin shots before too I’m at home now, and attended the University of Arkansas this previous year so my daily life included a lot of activity. I would love to be able to continue that with your dogs on walks! I do babysit 3-4 days a week during the summer but will always find time for your your fur babies! I have a big fenced yard and 1 of my own dogs, an English bulldog! My dog loves to swim in the pond near my house and loves other dogs as well!

About: Hi, I’m Bella - I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. From energetic labs to a calm shorkie to now a loud doberman husky mix, I have loved every second of it!. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s what inspired me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine (I’m currently in school to become a vet!). Whether your pup loves long walks or hikes, belly rubs, or just a cozy buddy to hang out with while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I understand that every dog is unique, and I make sure to always be attentive to their needs, routines, and quirks. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like one of my own! Even with a part-time job and an internship, I make sure to prioritize time for pet care. I typically have mornings, evenings, and most weekends free for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your pup. I’m flexible and can work with your routine to ensure they’re let out, exercised, and cared for when they need it most. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a stroll around the neighborhood, or a long hike to burn off energy, I’m happy to make it work—just let me know what your dog needs! I always tailor my care to what each individual animal needs—whether that means creating a calm, soothing environment for a more relaxed or anxious pup, or providing a playful, energetic space for dogs who love to stay active and engaged. I believe in meeting animals where they’re at and making sure they feel safe, understood, and happy. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, so your pup will have the option to socialize if they’re comfortable with it. Whether your dog is a cuddler, a ball-chaser, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. If your pet needs extra medical care, I’m experienced with that too. I currently administer fluids to a friends cat and regularly handle medications and fluids through my wildlife care internship. I’m confident, gentle, and always follow instructions closely to make sure your pet stays healthy, calm, and comfortable.

“Misty and her family took great care of our golden retriever! She sent pictures of our happy pup, and our dog returned back to our routine at home without skipping a beat. We already booked our dog's next stay with Misty :)”
“Blake was amazing with my Pups! Picked them up and dropped them off for me. Even clipped their nails. That sounds simple but my lab absolutely hates it (sounds like you are murdering her and takes two people). He sent me a photo of her relaxed and smiling lol. Absolutely will be using him again”
“Melissa and her family took great care of my dogs. She sent lots of photos and they always looked comfortable and well cared for. I know the boys were happy to come home but they were probably sad to go, because they got a lot of love and pets at her house.”
“What a wonderful experience! Stephanie has really set herself up well to look after your dog, especially if your dog likes play dates! Easy drop off and pick up, and a happy, tired dog at the end. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
“Rachell sent pictures and had a big yard for Lacey. I know Lacey is glad to be back home, but she won't be as anxious next time she visits Rachell and her new bird and dog friends.”
“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!”
“They were great with my dogs and my dogs can be a LOT. They provided me with daily updates. This was my first time using this service and I would definitely use them again.”
“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.”
“Carly and her family were the best sitters for Coco we could have asked for! Coco had so much fun she almost didn’t want to come home! We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking with Carly again!”
“Paula is truly the best! She cared for my senior pup as if she was her own and always went above and beyond. I never had to worry, Bella was always in great hands. I’m so thankful I found Paula during my time in St. Louis. We’ll miss her so much!!”
“Extremely satisfied with boarding our dog with Sarah. Our dog, Twink, did not experience any post problems after her stay. Intend to board our dog with Sarah again in the future.”
“Many thanks to Erica for her good work. She even dropped my dog off at our regular dog sitter. Erica provided coverage while our regular sitter who was out of town. I had to have surgery during this time and Erica really made things go smoothly.”
“Samantha has 2 friendly dogs, a designated gated space for the dogs, and a large fenced in backyard. My dogs felt instantly comfortable playing with her dogs! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs there and appreciated daily photos, I could tell my dogs were having a great time! Would definitely use her again”
“Our puppy, Snowie, stayed with Sonja for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier! She sent regular photo updates, made sure Snowie got plenty of playtime, and even kept up with his feeding schedule. The place was clean and safe, and Snowie came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring and professional boarder. We’ll definitely book again!”
“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.”
