“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.”

“This was my first time using Rover to have someone check on my dogs. I was a bit nervous of how it would go since my dogs get scared easily of new people, but Karen was very patient and attentive with them and overall did a fantastic job!

I would 100% recommend Karen as a dog sitter and if I need someone to watch my dogs again using Rover, Karen would be my first choice!”
About: I love and treat my dogs like family, and will do the same for yours! Growing up, I had experience with all types of dogs in my household! From hyper, playful and energetic, to calm, quiet, and shy, there was no shortage of variety as to the type of dog my family adopted, and was definitely no shortage of unconditional love I gave them! My experience with dog walking and sitting goes back to high school. I was always that family friend you'd call to care for your pets while you were on vacation! Whether it's 1 dog or 3 dogs at a time, no pup is ever left out, and I always balance my attention to each dog and their needs, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. There is no shortage of love and attention from me when it comes to your dogs! Having 2 large dogs of my own, I understand the need for finding someone you can wholeheartedly trust to care for your fur baby (or babies). I am comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes! Both of my dogs have anxious tendencies, and one in particular can be very reactive, nervous, and sometimes aggressive, but through trust, patience, and love, I have been able to develop a loving and nurturing bond with them both, and have no doubt I can do the same with yours! I hope to meet your dog(s) soon! 🫶🏼🐶🐕 I can provide daily care for your dog(s) or cat(s) - whatever their needs may be! My schedule is very flexible and can easily be worked out to whatever your needs may be! I trust and understand the importance of keeping people’s homes their safe spaces for their pet(s)! I will follow any and all guidelines or expectations you have for your home whenever I am there to care for your furry friends! I always treat other’s homes like my own - with love and respect!
“I've had Katie watch our cats twice now, our cats love her, and they always seem to be taken care of very well. I definitely recommend Katie for your pet sitting needs.”

“Heather did such a good job taking care of our precious kitties while we were gone! Both of our shy kitties came out to see her, which is truly rare. Her pictures and comments about what happened during the visits really helped us know how they were doing and put smiles on our faces during a difficult time in our lives. ?”
“Asa was wonderful. I received pictures and updates. She took time with each of my cats as they have to be kept separate. I came home to each of my cats being well taking care of, everything being tidy, and both of the kitties having attention. I am so happy with Asa’s care!”
“Alicia did an amazing job with my kitty cat while I was overseas for a week. She communicated well, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and overall made it easy to not have to worry about my sweet girl while I was away and 8 hours ahead. She was also super respectful of my Pinto’s cautious and aloof tendencies which ultimately made my cat more comfortable overall. I came home to happy healthy cat which is all I can ask for. I definitely hope to book with Alicia again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of cats for years. I pet sat my neighbors 4 cats for 5+ years now while they have travelled back to Europe for months at a time. I love cats and taking care of them and can ensure anyone that their cat(s) will be under the best care and love they can get!

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.
“Nicole and Tim were so welcoming and so kind. It was Benny’s first time spending time away besides groomers and he had so much fun! The updates throughout the day really made us be at ease. We are so happy with his stay and will come back to Tim and Nicole when we are in town. 😊”
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.

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 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.
“My pup is always so excited and happy to spend time at Isa’s. She really cares for my baby as if she were her own.

About: My husband and I grew up with all kinds of dogs and before having our own dog, and I cared for family and friends pets while they were out of town or needed help. I work night shift 3x/week and my husband works full time but is home every evening so your pet will always receive lots of love and attention. We have a fully fenced in yard for your dog to enjoy. Our home has plenty of space if you prefer your pet to be crated at night.

“Alycia is so caring and attentive toward my dog. She’s also flexible.

We feel so great knowing that we have her checking in on our dog while we are at work!”
“Lucy is so energetic and loves Bodi. She takes control of him so he trusts her and obeys her. She truly enjoys animals and I am thrilled with her interactions with him.”

We have a fenced in backyard that backs up to a park which makes for the perfect play area!

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I can remember. I grew up with two 75 pound German shepherds and two indoor cats one being deaf and partially blind. 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!
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: As an extreme animal lover, I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, size and temperaments for nearly two years while volunteering at the APA. There, I spend my time either walking dogs or caring for cats in the cat room. On top of that, I have been pet sitting for nearly my whole life. I love being able to meet new animals and providing them with the proper care they need! I currently work part-time and have lots of time to give your animals the care they need! Outside of work, my schedule is very flexible and can accommodate to your pets needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feedings or simply keeping your pet company, I will be able to give your animal the love and care they need! I am able to devote time and effort towards your furry friend to ensure that they feel safe and loved while you are away.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 5 years. I take care of many breeds as well as sizes. They become my best friend! I am currently wanting to take care of dogs on the side. I am flexible but need to know in advance dates and times. I am willing to take care of multiple at a time as well. I can take care of pets in my own home if needed but not preferred. It will be a case by case scenario for me to decide.
“Mallory was great and most importantly, my dog thought so too! We were visiting New Orleans from out of town and a bit leary about leaving our boxer in a strange place with strange people. Mallory responded quickly to my somewhat last minute request for a 3 day dog walking booking during jazz fest. She even came for a pre-visit meet and greet. She sent us photos and updates of her visits, and offered flexibility on her times. This is my first time using Rover and Mallory made it an amazing experience. I would absolutely call her again and again and again! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 5/5 PAW Rating!”
About: I have always had animals around me my whole life. My wife and I currently have two sweet cats and we see her families dog very often. I grew up walking my cousins dogs and am good with most any kind of animal! I am currently a full time student so I have lots of time and a flexible schedule for taking care of pets. I have two cats of my own and will be adding a puppy into the mix soon! I will treat your fur baby as if it were my own and not only take care of them while you are away but make sure to spend some good time making sure they are played with and loved.
