Highly-rated overnight sitters - Otto
“Rachell was amazing and great to our doggies! They barely wanted to come home. We got updates and pictures and they loved the outdoor time. Will definitely be using her again soon! Thanks Rachell!”
“Eric and Morgan were very accommodating in taking our request last minute and having flexible pickup/drop off times. They also sent a daily check in and pictures as well, which was very much appreciated!”
“We left our Morkie, Lexi, with Dave and Cindy for the first time last weekend, and can’t say enough how much we appreciate the loving care they gave her! Lexi doesn’t usually “warm up” quickly to people, but she was obviously comfortable with them from the moment she met them at our meet ‘n greet. When we dropped her off for her long weekend stay, she responded to them like family! Dave sent pictures of her each day, and she was obviously happy and relaxed with them. They provided a very comfortable and loving environment for her, and it was clear to us when we picked her up that she was well cared for and enjoyed her stay. Thanks, Dave and Cindy, you will definitely see Lexi again! 🙂”
“Stephanie was amazing with my giant 80 pound not very well trained ?. She sent pics and was very responsive to messages. And she’s very friendly and welcoming. If she lets me I’ll hands down use her from now on!”
“Great experience! Sherry took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with Sherry again!””
“Misty was great! Dogs came back happy and relaxed. The home atmosphere is super friendly and family oriented… I think our dogs felt right at home. We will definitely book again when we need it!”
“I highly recommend Beth! Had to go on a family vacation to Florida and leave my dog, Gary, for over 5 days for the first time ever. Beth was very accommodating and Gary had a blast! Will definitely use her again when I need to. 5/5.”
“Blake took excellent care of my extra large dog! He sent videos every day and gave him the same care he would have gotten at home! Grateful for a great place for my pup to vacation while I was on vacation!”
“Sarah was fantastic with our high energy dogs & we highly recommend her! She was very easy to communicate with and willing to accommodate our special needs by giving meds while we were away. Our dogs were very happy when we returned and could tell they received a lot of attention while we were gone. We highly recommend her if you're looking for quality care for your pets while away. We're so glad we found Sarah & will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Laura was awesome with my 2 dogs - Sadie & Bella. She sent lots of photos and my dogs had a fun-filled 7 nights & 8 days. Laura was caring and enthusiastic. Her children helped to make Sadie & Bella feel like one of the family. I can highly recommend Laura for all your pet needs.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Lorri was wonderful with our pup. She made him feel at ease right away. She helped us to also feel comfortable by sending regular check-ins with photos. Thank you Lorri! We will be back!”
“Tim was such an answered prayer! Our petsitter had to cancel last minute and he was so willing to step in and was patient and flexible with all of our questions. Both of our dogs told us they had a blast at his dog parks and playing with Oliver his sweet dog. I really appreciated the extra time he took to send pics and videos as well as deliver them back home to help us out since we were running late getting home due to weather and holiday traffic. Rusty and Daisy give Tim two paws up and we do too! We hope to get lucky enough to have him watch our dogs again in the near future!”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”

“Barbara B is the best pet sitter!! She keeps us updated twice a day, sending picture updates of my fur-babies. She brings toys and plays with them, even watering plants when needed. She is great at pilling one of my kitties. She even left a Welcome Home card from my kittens! Have used her a couple of times and love 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!”

“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.”
“Melanie took care of our cat, Daisy for one month. She did a great job and Daisy was so happy to get to stay in her own home. Melanie went above and beyond, helping to water our plants and bring mail and packages in. She send pictures every day of Daisy and reported in on how she was doing. Will definitely be having Melanie watch Daisy again.”

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

“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.

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.

“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”
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.
“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.”
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!

About: Hello! I'm Karissa, and I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, my parents ran a pet shop, so I had the pleasure of being surrounded by all sorts of critters. Because of this upbringing, I've had the joy of caring for a wide range of animals, getting to know their unique needs and keeping them healthy and happy. In my own little family, we currently have three sweet cats and a playful puppy who's just six months old. We live in the lovely countryside near Festus, with a whole acre of land securely fenced for our furry pals to explore. We even have a pool, and you can trust us when we say we take pool safety seriously! We love a good game of fetch or tug of war and have been really getting into positive reinforcement training. Our puppy is even learning how to use buttons to "speak". :) I've got a soft spot for every cat and dog out there, and I'd be thrilled to look after your precious babies whenever you need a hand. I can either host them at my place or swing by your home to check in on them. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I can absolutely understand the importance of trust when it comes to finding the right pet sitter. So, let me assure you, I'm a dedicated and reliable professional. I'll treat your furry friends like they're part of my own family, following their routines and taking care of any special medications or dietary needs they may have. I can't wait to hear from you and meet your adorable pets! Feel free to reach out anytime. As a stay-at-home mom with older children, I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs seamlessly! Please reach out with any questions about my availability. As mentioned earlier, our household comprises three friendly cats and a 6-month-old puppy. They are all well-accustomed to meeting new furry pals and get along famously with both dogs and cats. If necessary, we can easily arrange separate living spaces to ensure your fur-baby feels comfortable and at ease.
About: I am a dog mom and also have had chickens,turkeys, a ferret and bunnies. I was a zookeeper for almost 10 years. I recently graduated with my PhD in biology and my focus is on river ecology. I love animals and would love spending time with your fur baby! My schedule is flexible during the summer/currently. I have the ability to fit plenty of walks and play time in with your pet and I look forward to it! Depending on your pups ability I will take them for as long or short of walks as needed. If there are parks nearby I would love to venture to those.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped train my family’s dogs in the past so if there are any reinforcements or cues necessary on walks I’m more than capable of helping to keep a routine! I’m currently full time graduate student, but I have some free afternoons with plenty of time to walk your pets! I am also flexible to do drop ins for potty breaks and evening feedings. I do not have any pets but I can help care for your pet with walks! If there are specific needs your dog requires such as to be crated after walks I am more than willing to follow any directions for making sure your pet is safe and comfortable!
About: Hi friends! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently share my home with four dogs, a cat, and some very spoiled chickens. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and it never feels like “work.” I know how busy life gets, and how important it is to travel or take a break without stressing about your pets. With experience in both home care and kennel settings, I’ve seen how much happier and calmer animals are when they can stay in their own environment. My goal is simple, make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re home again. I run my own cleaning business and homeschool my kids, which we’ve been doing for about a year and a half now. I love being my own boss and having a schedule that works for our family. With so many parents heading back to work these days, I wanted to do something that helps both people and their pets. I’ve always loved animals, so this felt like the perfect fit. Plus, it’s a great way to show my kids how even simple services can make a big difference for someone. I care for every pet just like I do my own — with calm energy, love, and lots of attention. Animals deserve the very best, and I truly enjoy giving them that. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are being cared for with kindness and respect while you’re away.
About: I personally have worked with bunnies, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, cats, and dogs as a pet sitter as well as in a clinical setting! I’m definitely an animal person! I am happy to walk, feed, bathe, give love, and overall care for any members of your pet family! I have been given the ability to care for many families pets in the past and I pride myself on responsibility and a high quality of care. I’m comfortable and confident with any and all medical needs your pet may have, I can give subcutaneous fluids, administer inhalers, give oral medication, intramuscular and subcutaneous injections. I also am well versed with diabetes care and blood glucose checks. I am fully available for any and all care your pet may need. I recently elected to leave my full time position as a Veterinary Technician to be more available for family, so I have all the knowledge of a vet tech with full availability to take care of your fur babies! I can and will strictly follow your guides for care, diet plan, and exercise schedule to keep your pets routine as normal as possible in your absence. I will always be just a phone call or text message away if you have any questions, or just want to check in! I’m able and willing to send updates your way during my time with your pets to provide peace of mind, as well as to establish trust. I have a vehicle, and am able to take your pets to and from a veterinary clinic in case of emergency.
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.

“Rachell was amazing and great to our doggies! They barely wanted to come home. We got updates and pictures and they loved the outdoor time. Will definitely be using her again soon! Thanks Rachell!”
“Eric and Morgan were very accommodating in taking our request last minute and having flexible pickup/drop off times. They also sent a daily check in and pictures as well, which was very much appreciated!”
“We left our Morkie, Lexi, with Dave and Cindy for the first time last weekend, and can’t say enough how much we appreciate the loving care they gave her! Lexi doesn’t usually “warm up” quickly to people, but she was obviously comfortable with them from the moment she met them at our meet ‘n greet. When we dropped her off for her long weekend stay, she responded to them like family! Dave sent pictures of her each day, and she was obviously happy and relaxed with them. They provided a very comfortable and loving environment for her, and it was clear to us when we picked her up that she was well cared for and enjoyed her stay. Thanks, Dave and Cindy, you will definitely see Lexi again! 🙂”
“Stephanie was amazing with my giant 80 pound not very well trained ?. She sent pics and was very responsive to messages. And she’s very friendly and welcoming. If she lets me I’ll hands down use her from now on!”
“Misty was great! Dogs came back happy and relaxed. The home atmosphere is super friendly and family oriented… I think our dogs felt right at home. We will definitely book again when we need it!”
“I highly recommend Beth! Had to go on a family vacation to Florida and leave my dog, Gary, for over 5 days for the first time ever. Beth was very accommodating and Gary had a blast! Will definitely use her again when I need to. 5/5.”
“Blake took excellent care of my extra large dog! He sent videos every day and gave him the same care he would have gotten at home! Grateful for a great place for my pup to vacation while I was on vacation!”
“Sarah was fantastic with our high energy dogs & we highly recommend her! She was very easy to communicate with and willing to accommodate our special needs by giving meds while we were away. Our dogs were very happy when we returned and could tell they received a lot of attention while we were gone. We highly recommend her if you're looking for quality care for your pets while away. We're so glad we found Sarah & will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Laura was awesome with my 2 dogs - Sadie & Bella. She sent lots of photos and my dogs had a fun-filled 7 nights & 8 days. Laura was caring and enthusiastic. Her children helped to make Sadie & Bella feel like one of the family. I can highly recommend Laura for all your pet needs.”
“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.”
“Tim was such an answered prayer! Our petsitter had to cancel last minute and he was so willing to step in and was patient and flexible with all of our questions. Both of our dogs told us they had a blast at his dog parks and playing with Oliver his sweet dog. I really appreciated the extra time he took to send pics and videos as well as deliver them back home to help us out since we were running late getting home due to weather and holiday traffic. Rusty and Daisy give Tim two paws up and we do too! We hope to get lucky enough to have him watch our dogs again in the near future!”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“We absolutely loved boarding our wiggle butt, Harriet, with Jade! She was considerate and understanding of Harriet's background of reactivity and took the time to make sure she was comfortable. We loved the videos and pictures we received while we were away from our girl! It is so refreshing to know our dog was in safe, loving hands while we were on our honeymoon. Thank you, Jade, you are an amazing human!”
“Sonja was so accommodating. She was very flexible, helpful and patient. I liked that she offered a meet and greet, provided photos and updates. I could tell my Lady enjoyed her stay.”
“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.”
“Our pet was boarded with Dawn for 3 nights and I got periodic updates on how our pet was doing along with pictures.Really great relief knowing our pet was in loving ,caring hands. Drop off & pickup went smoothly,received regular communication & reminders from Dawn.”
