“Tamara was very responsive and helpful in coordinating Willow's weekend stay. She shared pics and updates. I could tell my pup got lots of love and attention. She also had a blast playing with Tamara's pups. I'm hoping to continue to bring Willow there for doggie day care and even longer boarding visits.”
“Tiffiny took great care of our puppy, Beemer! She even started working with him on a few commands and continued potty training him. He was a happy pup when I picked up! Thank you!”
“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.”
“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”
“Lori was amazing! She took such good care of our girl. We received photos everyday with an update of everything they had done; car rides, a special treat, walks, playing ball, meeting new friends! We are looking forward to Lori taking care of Penny again later this year when we will be gone for a longer amount of time. Because of her loving care, we will be able to enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Lori!”
“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!”
“Beth took great care of our Lulo. We like to check how Lulo is doing and we always got a promt answer from her. We had a bad experience with a boarding company, Lulo was sick (diarrhea) after we picked her up. We are so happy to have found Beth, Lulo has been perfectly fine after staying with her and her family.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Jennine from our first meet and greet, I felt a sense of trust and comfort. She took the time to get to know him and his quirks she provided daily photos of Remy having fun and looking content and relaxed. I highly recommend Jennine to anyone in need of a caring, responsible dog sitter. Thank you for caring for our precious pooch. I will definitely be re-booking.”
“Five stars! This was our first time leaving the dogs with someone in Rover. I was very nervous. The dogs loved Sherry and we will use her again in the future. She sends pictures with updates. Sherry is kind and understanding. Our little senior chihuahua has a lot of trust issues and doesn’t care for people, but he enjoyed Sherry’s company. Thank you Sherry for keeping our kiddos safe and happy!”
“Rachel was an amazing sitter and went above and beyond. Sending me daily photos and even made my baby a Christmas bandana. I cannot recommend her enough and I will definitely be using her again❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
“Our pups had a blast with Anthony and Sophia! They were so welcoming with Scud who can be a little shy and both dogs came home happy and tired from all the play time. Anthony and Sophia texted updates everyday and were flexible with the drop off and pickup. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“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!”
“Despite a less than stellar meet and greet performance, Dawn welcomed our hyper dog back with open arms, treating him to a weekend of a lifetime. We are so grateful for you, Dawn. We know Jazz is eager to see you again soon. Thanks for treating him like part of your family!”
“Time after time, Raina always goes above and beyond to make Nash feel comfortable and welcomed. She also is AMAZING at communicating and sending pictures/videos. She will always be our go-to.”
“Myndee and family were great with our older dog. Lovely updates to keep us connected. Super understanding when we had a delayed return They are our Go To family for doggie boarding.”
“Laura was amazing with our boys all week. She sent lots of pictures and videos and was very patient while they adjusted to a new place. Already booked her for our next trip!”

“Tiffany was out first Rover experience. Could not have asked for a better cat sitter! She was very communicative. Lots of pictures and notes. Brought in our mail, swept around the litter boxes etc. She will be out top choice next time. Up”
About: I once took care of five cats at the same time in an unfinished home. If that isn't enough for you, I also cared for my Grandfather's cat for two weeks, with said cat being afraid of me and its new environment. By making my presence known consistently but not forcefully, I managed to win her over. What sets me apart is my understanding of one key fact. You can't make a cat love you in the same way you would for a dog. Cats decide to enjoy your company if you've earned that privilege. Understanding how cats behave is what let me conquer the stories mentioned above. If a cat wants attention, I give it to them. If I see that they're getting bored, I play with them. If they want to be left alone, I leave them alone (unless they're obviously scheming to do something they shouldn't).

“Kayleigh took great care of my house and cats! She was quick to reply to texts, sent photos of the cats, and left my house in great condition. She picked up my booking at the last minute, and was a delight to work with. I fully recommend Kayleigh.”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for cats my entire life and currently have a cat named Twig. I have experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, and recognizing when a cat needs space or attention. I appreciate that every cat has their own personality, and I focus on providing calm, attentive care that helps them feel comfortable and secure in their home.
“Laure was absolutely awesome. She came by our house multiple times for two weeks when we went on vacation. She spent time with my 18 tear old cat Jude so she wasn't lonely. She made sure Jude had all she needed, fed her and our stray kitties, she even brushed Jude!! I would recommend her to everyone”
“Our experience with Melanie was fantastic! She communicated clearly and consistently, sending daily updates and adorable photos & videos that kept us reassured. Our cats absolutely loved her—and it’s easy to see why. She’s truly awesome!”
“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”
“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.”
“Kiersten takes great care of my cat Georgie. She was even available to help me when I was in a bind and had to hop on a flight last minute. She sends the cutest pics and takes the time to play with my little guy so he has interaction! Super grateful for her.”
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pacific
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.
“Erica is wonderful! Her true love of dogs really shines through when taking care of my Millie! Millie gets so excited to go over there and is always worn out from all the playing! She is also very accommodating which is wonderful for my crazy schedule. Hands down, recommend her!”
“Jeanne is amazing! I have been bringing Jett to her for a few weeks now and she is so good with him. Not only does she genuinely care about him, she provides regular updates throughout the day and I can see how much fun he is having in her care. He has even developed social skills and is learning new things under her care. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend Jeanne to anyone who needs someone they can trust to take good care of their best friend.”
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
“Blanca is awesome, she accommodated our last minute request and our pup had a lovely time. This is our first experience with her and we are very happy with her. We strongly recommend Blanca.”
“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!”
“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 experience with many different breeds and temperaments, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, friendly dogs and aggressive dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I owned, cared for, and trained a German Shepherd. I currently own 2 Australian Shepherds, one whom I trained myself. I am very flexible this summer so I can take last minute bookings. I can do any time of day. My weekends are available also for walking, check-ins, or boarding! 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. I am able to take your dog on walks/runs or play with them inside the house. I can take them outside to the bathroom, feed them, whatever your dog needs!
“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 love dogs with all my heart. I am a new dog owner, but I am no stranger to dog care as I took care of my friends dog for a night and on other occasions. I have around 9 months of experience of taking care of my puppy. I have trained him in some of the basic commands and sometimes I love to make doggy treats for him. I am a recent graduate of highschool and will be home for most of the time. I will be able to take care of your dog anytime required. I have a temporary fence setup in my backyard along with a spacious basement. I have an extra bed if required for your pet along with extra blankets. If you would want your pet to be in a specific area of the house, there are extra fences that can be used. I will be able to monitor your dogs routine and needs. I will pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other needs you put in. I will make sure to give regular updates through photos or calls.
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.
“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”
“Anusha and her family are too good to work with. Our Pluto was kept very lovingly and utmost care. I kept receiving their playful pics and videos while Pluto was having a good time with all of them. It’s so good and a big relief to see Pluto been left with someone who will treat him with the same love and care that he gets at home. Will be coming back again and again.”
“Karissa was absolutely amazing made the drop off and pick up very easy. This was Rivers first time with someone else that he didn’t know. She took amazing care of him. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Rene and Gary”
“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!”

About: I haven't had my own pets in a long time, but I've cared for over a dozen pets that I treated like my own despite belonging to others. I've introduced myself to and won over plenty of pets with my calm and collected approach. The majority of my pet care experience has been through visiting the homes of family friends to give their dogs bathroom breaks and be sure they have some company for a while as their owners are at work or on vacation. On multiple occasions, I've also stayed overnight for multiple days at a time. Because of this, I'm well equipped to meet your pets smoothly and cohabitate with them. I currently work remotely and have plans to attend college online, so I'll have more than enough time to visit at the very least. I can absolutely stay over, as I can simply work wherever I have my laptop if need be. Your pets will always be the first priority, of course. I do not have pets of my own at the moment, but I always treat other people's pets as if they were my own and with respect. If they want attention, they get it. If they want to be left alone, they will be left alone (within reason). Any instructions regarding feeding and medicine will be followed strictly.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a part of my everyday routine. I currently have a dog named Scout and a cat named Twig, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and independent, or just looking for extra attention and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time, allowing me flexibility for dog walks and pet drop-in visits throughout the week. Please contact me for availability, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. During visits, I prioritize safety, consistency, and attention to detail. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, monitor your pet’s well-being, ensure they have fresh food and water and a clean environment, and provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I’ve been in a dog household for as long as I can remember, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. From feeding and walking to playtime and giving them lots of attention, I’m very comfortable handling dogs and making sure they feel happy and safe. Being around dogs daily growing up has helped me understand their different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m also a very active person, which makes dog walking something I truly enjoy. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer energy-burning outing, or just some companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to provide it. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so I can give your dog the attention and care they deserve. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels comfortable, exercised, and loved while in my care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want both you and your pet to feel confident and at ease. I’m currently a student at a local university, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I typically have classes from 10 AM to 1 PM on most weekdays, but outside of that time I have plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-ins, or pet care. I’m usually free in the mornings before class, afternoons after 1 PM, and evenings. Because I have a lighter schedule outside of class, I’m able to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their dog’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any specific care your pet may need. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection during visits. Whether that means going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I will always treat your home and your pets with respect and care.

About: Hello! I’m Arlene, and I’ve been working with animals since I was 16! I have several years of experience in the veterinary field in California, and caring for animals has always been a huge passion of mine ❤️ I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their daily schedule, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. Since recently moving to Missouri, I’m currently focusing on house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks rather than boarding. I love caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay relaxed and keep their normal routine. I have dogs of my own who are friendly and up to date on all vaccinations, and my veterinary experience allows me to recognize changes in a pet’s health or behavior should any concerns arise. Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I have dogs of my own, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of attention. I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive reliable, loving care and their routines stay as consistent as possible. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home by following their normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: My experience with both puppies and senior pets. I’m comfortable with training reinforcement, administering medication, and providing extra care for older animals. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and treat every pet like family—always keeping owners updated with photos and notes. I’m a full-time teacher looking for a fun and meaningful way to spend my summers by helping others care for their furry friends. Since I don’t have a pup of my own, I’m especially excited to spend time walking, playing, and exploring outdoors—with your pet by my side! In a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and medication—so pets feel safe and comfortable. I keep the space tidy and always provide updates. In my home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest, tailored to each pet’s needs.
About: I've grown up with animals my entire life. I look at my own, like my kids. I want to provide peace while you're away, knowing your animal(s) is/are being cared for properly. I reside in Labadie and understand the frustration that can come with finding an honest, reliable and trustworthy person to care for our fur babies. We don’t have as many resources available as the county. I can help fill that void. A walk, a little play time or feeding? Let me know your needs! I'd love to help! I work full time as a financial economic crime analyst for a large agricultural bank. I work from home 2 of the 5 days and the other 3 I am in Chesterfield working from the office. I work 7-4 but typically leave work around two and have flexibility should our hours not align 100%. Communication is key, let me know your needs. I am able to provide services at your personal residence (no night stays) or at my home if dog/cat friendly, and will follow/complete all requests and needs.
“A+ rating for Laure. She shows up on time and is great with my puppies. Pays attention to important details and is trustworthy. Couldn’t give her a higher recommendation.”
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. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6 AM–2 PM, but I’m available before and after work for pet care. My flexible real estate schedule allows me to be available most days for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and provide reliable care throughout the week. 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 petsat a variety of dogs and cats. I’ve trained my own puppies and know a great deal about dog care, including senior care. I provide updates as frequently as an owner needs or just to send them cute daily pictures to let them know their pet is okay! Leaving a pet in someone else’s care can be stressful, but I do my best to make it an easier, safe, and enjoyable experience. I currently have my own dog at home, and have owned dogs my whole life. I’ve always played an active role in my dogs’ life and have done extensive research on any current need they have needed. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, making sure they get quality exercise, mental stimulation, and quality care. I prefer to be invasive as little as possible of someone’s home and private space, as I know how important that is to myself. I’m not there to explore, but to ensure a pet’s care and needs. If you trust me with your pet in your space, my first priority is your pet’s care and my second priority is respecting your home.
About: My friends tell me that I am an animal whisperer haha! I love the company of an animal and giving it all of my love! I used to have a dog of my own, we were best friends, but unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I’m not at the best spot in my life to have my own pet again so I wanted to find a way to still love on animals and have their presence! I currently have a full time job in St. Louis. I am available to WFH if I need to watch your pet(s) during the week!! More than happy to do so :) We have a very large yard/field behind my home but it is not fenced. I will be sure to have your puppy on a leash if need be!!! We also live in a neighborhood, off of the main road in town. I am also available to watch them in STL as I have family that live there!
About: I got my first dog when I was three and have always had 5+ animals in the house. I am good with any breed of dog. I have some puppy training experience and I can also work with disability animals. I just need to know if they have medication and the time to take them or other accommodations that they might need. I’m not sure if people have reptiles that need sitting but I’m good with those too. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies or any other animals. I have always had a soft spot for animals so I love spending time with them. I have a dog who gets taken potty every couple of hours and is fed every morning and every night. I also have a cat and two leopard geckos. My cat and dog are usually upstairs so I can keep the other animals downstairs if they’re not pet friendly. My geckos stay in my room.
About: I’ve been a pet lover, especially dogs, my whole life. I’ve had many dogs over the years, small and large breeds. I love them all! I’ve been a teacher for years and am transitioning to retired life. Let me care for your pup while you work. I’m retired from teaching and want something meaningful to do. I love doggies and will help yours stay healthy and happy with frequent walks. Let me help you! I will use your approved leashes or harnesses to keep puppy safe on walks in your area. Dogs will receive walks, supervision and encouragement from me.
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 love all animals. If you need a caregiver for your friend I'm the one. I'm opened to days/nights weekend and holidays. Will travel too. I currently only work one day a week outside my home, the rest I work from home I would love a friend to hang out with, or take a break with. I will provide a loving fun time for your pet. My dog died two years ago and I really miss having a pet to love. I'm also available for plant care I can work with your schedule if needed. I also do drop bys, too. I love getting out, walking, and playing with doggies, cat, and any pet. I have a new fence and it has a access with no steps for my older doggies. There is also ramps for those shorter dogs. We have lots of love and would to share it with your dogs.
About: New to Rover but not new to dogs and cats! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs and caring for them as part of the family. I currently share my home with two cats, a Black Lab, and a German Shepherd. I have experience with reactive dogs, high energy dogs and large breeds. I love spending time outdoors and especially enjoy hiking with dogs and exploring nature together. I can provide a pet taxi service to vet appointments, chiropractors or groomers. I am available for dog walks, drop-ins and also administering medication. I can also incorporate any type of training you are currently working on into drop-ins and walks. If you need someone dependable who will show up rain or shine, keep you updated with photos, and love your pet like family, I’d love to help. I look forward to connecting with your pets! I homeschool my 4 children and as they are getting older, I am finding more pockets of time in my schedule. Every day is a little different for us so I am flexible and have availability at different times throughout the day. I can carefully follow instructions based on your pet’s individual needs. I have a peaceful energy and really try to pay attention to their body language and what they are trying to tell me through that. I am very active and can walk long distances.
About: I have 30 years of experience with dogs. I am now retired and would love to spend time caring for your fur child. You'll find I am very reliable and a good communicator. I love playtime, walks and spending quality time with your pet. Will feed, give meds if needed, take outside to potty, bring in mail, and water plants if needed. Prefer to come to your home for care. Possibility of caring for your small dog in my home (fenced yard) as long as your dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, friendly with my little Norman and is fully potty trained. I like to say "Pets are people too!" meaning that they have feelings and deserve all the love they can get. I am now retired so very flexible for daily visits and will update all availability. I have a reliable vehicle. Available per visit or daily. I care for each pet as I would want my little one to be cared for. If care is in my home, I have a fully fenced back yard. I do like to spend quality time when I visit and will want to meet you ahead of time at no charge to make sure we are covering all care needs and to get to know your pet.
About: I've been around animals all my life. My friends and family have relied on my reliablility, responsiblity and professionalism to take care of their furry family members. I'm a reliable and caring dog sitter who treats every pet like my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I pay close attention to each dog's routine, personality, and needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. You can count on regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your pup is in good hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your dog a comfortable, fun experience every time. I have worked at No Leash Needed as well as Fox Creek Veterinary Hospital doing everything from dog boarding, doggy daycare, to basic grooming and bathing. I have always have had a passion for being around animals and know they are more than just a pet, they are family. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday but would love to use my off time to do pet care! Depending on the week, I am off by 4:30-5:30 every day of the week. I know how scary it is to leave not just your animal, but your loved one in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure they get they care the need while also sticking to their routine whether that just be going for a walk to get their exercise or keeping them comfortable while their family is away!

“Tamara was very responsive and helpful in coordinating Willow's weekend stay. She shared pics and updates. I could tell my pup got lots of love and attention. She also had a blast playing with Tamara's pups. I'm hoping to continue to bring Willow there for doggie day care and even longer boarding visits.”

“Our dogs have enjoyed every stay with Rachel and Katee! I like that they do an initial meet up with the pups before you stay and they send lots of pictures and updates to let you know your pups are doing well!
