“Leanne and her family always take such great care of Kodak! She updates you daily and sends pictures of your pup having fun. Kodak is always exhausted when he gets home. Highly recommend!”
“Mara was extremely accommodating! I booked a little bit last minute, and she quickly responded and booked right away. My dog loves room to run around and can get bored sometimes, but she had quite a bit to keep him occupied for his stay there. He came back tired and happy, and I came back relieved he was in such capable hands! For my first time booking with Rover, Mara made the process seamless! Will definitely be using her services again in the future. 😊”
“Cameron took excellent care of my pup while I was away! He is a great caregiver and I’d definitely allow my dog to stay with him again! He also took amazing photos of my dog which was a plus!”

“Lea & Brandon are amazing souls! They treated my Lucy as their own pup. She had so much fun playing and lounging around with them and their dog Korra. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again! I know Lucy loved her time there and would definitely enjoy there time again! Thank you again! :)”
“Alicia was an amazing sitter. She sent a ton of updates and pictures/videos while caring for my pup. She took him on several walks, which I'm sure he was very happy about!!”

Totally recommend her”

“By far THE very BEST sitters I've had in the past! Wendy and Kurt took great care of Chase. They sent texts and pic updates during our time away. Chase had a great time and is looking forward to seeing them again. We will definitely be contacting Wendy and Kurt for our next trip. Thank you Rover, Wendy and Kurt!!”
“Kirsten did amazing with both dogs even with the difficulties our husky puppy created for her. Appreciate all of her communication and work she did. Would definitely use again in the future.”
“I don’t want to leave this review because then everyone will want to bring their babies to Barb and Steve and their availability will go down, because they are awesome! We have two dogs, they come with lots of meds and instructions. I also have one that temperamental and can snap at people and dogs, in addition, the other one that is struggling with eating and taking pills. They really took care of them like I take care of them. They spoiled them, loved them and took care of them as if they were their own. They worked with all their issues and sent pictures so I could see they’re loved while we’re away. There are no words to express how stress free your trips away from home can feel knowing your babies are getting taken care of properly and loved while you have to be away. Truly amazing people for the babies and what all sitters should be like.”
“Yingfei was wonderful with our two dogs. She met them ahead of time and asked great questions about what kind of care they needed. Both of my dogs take medication and Yingfei was willing to administer this. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave great updates. My dogs ate and slept well at her home and returned home happy. I had a great experience with Yingfei and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have lived my whole life with dogs and I am currently a Dog Mom of 1. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, including a summer job at a local dog + owner fitness facility and volunteering at stray rescue in STL. My pet is also a rescue, so I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra care and comfort. My main focus is to show your pet some extra love while they are patiently waiting for you to return, and to help you as a dog parent feel at peace, knowing your dog is being well taken care of. I work a full time job, but I do have the ability to work from home when needed and a flexible lunch break. I am mostly free between 7:00-8:30 AM or 6:00-9:00 PM M-F, but I am also available during lunch hours (11:00AM-2:00PM) and weekends upon request. It is important to me that I get to know both you and your pet! I want everyone to feel safe and sound during appointments. For first-time customers: I am available for phone or video calls prior to the booking date, as well as in person meet and greets (when scheduled in advance). Afterwards, we can discuss communication preferences during visits and, if requesting regular care, what days/times you would like to book in the future.
“Valantina was very patient and knowledgeable. My boys felt very comfortable and made me feel better with leaving them in her hands 😇 Got plenty of updates and pictures, they loved her! Definitely recommend ☺️”

About: Hi there! I’m a pediatric nurse, but prior to nursing school I worked as a vet clinic kennel hand and then later as a kennel manager at a boarding/grooming facility. I currently live with my husband and our two dogs, but miss spending time with more dogs! I’d love to help you out with your “goodest” boy or girl. You can rest easy knowing your pup would be with a responsible, reliable, and experienced new friend! I am available all day Monday, Friday, Sunday, and most Saturdays. I’m also available every day after 7:30pm for evening visits! Although I work full time, I am happy to communicate my availability & be flexible. I can accommodate any of your requests in your home for drop in visits or walks. I’m comfortable with all breeds and any special/medical needs. I care for my own senior pup with special needs at home too! Our furry friends deserve the world and I’m happy to respect your routines to keep your pup’s tail wagging.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.
About: I have worked with cats of all size shapes and temperaments! From your kittys that just want all the love to those who just need me to fill their bowls I’d love to take care of them while you’re away!
“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of each dog's unique needs and personality. I make sure to provide personalized care, attention, and lots of love, so every dog feels comfortable and happy. I also have experience with different breeds and can handle special requirements like medication or specific exercise routines. Plus, I keep clear communication with pet owners to update them regularly. I’m currently full time pet sitter :) and I also do pet delivery from state to state. I also do babysitting as part time and nanny as part time from time to time when families are needing me. I have fenced yard. I have a 2 months old cat, who’s very friendly and sweet. I was told she was good with other dogs and she’s lovely with cats.
About: I am an Ace certified personal trainer. I am a very active person, so I will make sure your pet engages in lots of play time and gets plenty of exercise during their stay. I have a very large fenced in yard which will give your dog lots of space to run and play. I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!
About: I have had dogs my entire life, I have had dogs from all sizes even up to 110lbs!! My house is a very dog friendly home, my golden retriever absolutely loves to meet new friends! I live on the lake so if your pup loves to swim I have the perfect spot!! I do work full time but I make my own schedule and able to move days around to be around every day when I am needed! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a long leash to let the dogs play outside! I also have an extra crate of your dog requires one! My dog is very friendly and absolutely adores to have a friend to play with!
“Tracy was amazing. She was so good with our kitties. She took lots of photos and gave us great peace of mind leaving our kitties under her care! We will 100% be booking with her again.”
About: Hi! I’ve been a cat lover my whole life ever since I was born, I’ve always had a cat by my side. I grew up on a farm with both barn cats and house cats, and I’ve cared for two full litters from birth. From fluffy Maine Coons to fancy Persians to sweet strays, I’ve loved them all. I’m great with cats of all temperaments — shy, spicy, or snuggly — and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Cats are truly my favorite pet, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own!
“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”
“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!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of medical experience and attention to detail. I'm comfortable administering medications including injections and fluids so pets with chronic issues or post-surgery needs are no problem. I also genuinely don't mind (and actually take pride in) deep-cleaning litter boxes, cages, and small animal enclosures. You'll never come home to a lingering smell or a corner I've skipped. Reliable, thorough, and unfazed by the messy parts of pet care.
“We're new to the area, and needed a sitter to take care of our four cats while we drove our car cross country to our new home. I'm so glad we found Diane! She took amazing care of our two geriatric cats who need pills and injections, and gave us assurance that they were on track with their meds. We got so many excellent photos at each visit, and we knew that our babies were getting lots of play and cuddle time. We'll be repeat customers with Diane again - highly recommend!”
“TeAsia was great!!! I was nervous to leave my sweet guy as a first-time cat owner but she was very reassuring and made me feel comfortable with my decision. She responded quickly to messages and sent me updates and pictures while I was away! He seems very well cared for and I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets and I would book again! :)”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—dogs, cats, and all the little personalities in between. From playful puppies to sweet senior pets (and independent but cuddly cats), I’m patient, gentle, and follow routines closely so everyone feels safe and loved. Expect lots of updates, photos, and care from your pet’s second favorite human 💛🐾 I'm currently available full time, 7 days a week. I am available for dog walking or spending time dropping by and feeding your fur babies (canine or feline). When I’m caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to their normal routine so everything feels familiar and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked or played with, given lots of love, and kept safe and comfortable. I’m happy to handle litter boxes, medications if needed, and special instructions—plus I always send updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for by their second favorite human 🐾💛
About: We live on 5 acres, approx 1/3-2/3 acre fenced. I am an experienced, responsible person that is also timely and dependable. Our 2 labs are very spoiled. I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and am experienced with giving pets medications if it is required, as well as feeding them. I also have senior pet experience. Medication & food would need to be provided by pet owners. We can accommodate overnight stays. Pets can be in crates or in beds depending on your/their preference. I treat every pet special. Currently my availability is open. I am an early riser up by 5am daily. I work from home and pets can access a fenced yard. I’m familiar with providing daily meds & special meals/food for pets as well. Our 2 labs are friendly and get along with other dogs. Both our dogs are fixed (spayed & neutered). Our backyard is fenced and secured. Our deck has a ramp (no stairs) so easy access for puppies and senior dogs. When you dog is in our backyard they will be supervised. We allow dogs on our furniture.
About: I love big dogs, little dogs, and all in between. I've had two wonderful Golden Retrievers and I'm looking forward to caring for your furbabies. I'm retired and am now looking forward to an enjoyable career as a pet sitter. I'm available 7 days a week, very flexible schedule. My husband and I are retired and are both huge animal lovers. Our Goldens crossed the Rainbow bridge and petsitting is a way to fill the void they left in our lives. We did have a beautiful cat but she passed away from cancer in September 2025. We no longer have any pets in our home. Since I am retired I'll have lots of time to spoil your pets! I'm an early riser so a walk first thing in the morning is fairly routine. Dogs are taken on short walks 3 or 4 times a day and given lots of love and attention. If owners are ok with it they are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep on my bed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for the past 10 years. Previous neighbors have trusted me with pet sitting and walking their dogs. I work from home so I am easily able to give your pets the care they need at all times. My 11-year-old daughter usually joins me-she’s an amazing helper! She loves all animals and they all love her! Pets & parents must be comfortable with her being part of the care team! I have a spacious, fenced-in yard and work from home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care! Our family dog, an 11-year-old German Shepherd, sadly passed away in 2024. While we aren’t ready to welcome a new dog into our lives, I truly miss taking care of a pet. That’s why I see pet-sitting as the perfect way to share my love for animals.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 but I have had my own pets since birth. I have had a Pug, Golden Retriever, German shepherd, Great Dane and some mutts. The cats have mostly been strays we have took in but I have also worked with main coons and Savannah cats. I have yet to meet a breed i didn’t love. I also have worked in several places where I take care of bathing, grooming, and nail trims. I can also give meds as I just recently lost a pup who I was giving seizure medication to. So I am prepared if that does happen with your animals as well. I also have a dog who had anxiety who we gave medication to. I’m A stay at home mom currently who is trying to earn some income to save up for Christmas. I am available anytime day or night. I would prefer to watch at your place, but I do have a Leash they can be hooked to as well as a pretty big crate that most dogs can fit into! I do have 2 small children that they would be around if they did stay with me!

About: Born and Raised with dogs my entire life. Active lifestyle for pets in a safe environment. House filled with children with additional love and attention for your special pet. I work with a flexible job schedule and a fiance as a stay home mom, so someone is always available to be home with your loved one or stopping by to check on them. My home has a fenced in yard to create an open space for dogs to sprint to run as they burn energy and stay safe. The dogs have a couch they are free to get comfortable on and get cuddles when they’re ready. We already have additional crates if they are crate trained or need a safe place with their favorite toy if their getting over stimulated.
“Our boy, Ernie, absolutely loved his time with Kirsten! We dropped him off while we were gone for a day trip, she kept us updated while we were gone, and sent a picture as well! We will absolutely use her again for future trips. Thanks so much!”
About: I’m a devoted dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I raised one of my English Bulldogs through all 13 years of his life and currently care for my active four-year-old bulldog every day. My experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and personalized care are in helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, cuddle time, companionship, or playtime, I’ll treat them like my own dog and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 😊 I work remotely from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and love making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they are comfortable at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have had my 2 dogs since they are 8 weeks old. I would be so happy to look after your babies. I have a fenced yard with protection from dogs getting out. I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”
About: Iv been around and taken care of all types and sizes of animals since I was little and always had such a love for them. Im currently looking for some extra work to fill my time until i have full books within my field of business. I also adore all animals and would love to spend my days with them. I have a fur baby at home who I play with and walk all the time, who love to have company over to have someone to play with.
About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.

“Leanne and her family always take such great care of Kodak! She updates you daily and sends pictures of your pup having fun. Kodak is always exhausted when he gets home. Highly recommend!”
“Mara was extremely accommodating! I booked a little bit last minute, and she quickly responded and booked right away. My dog loves room to run around and can get bored sometimes, but she had quite a bit to keep him occupied for his stay there. He came back tired and happy, and I came back relieved he was in such capable hands! For my first time booking with Rover, Mara made the process seamless! Will definitely be using her services again in the future. 😊”

“Kirsten did amazing with both dogs even with the difficulties our husky puppy created for her. Appreciate all of her communication and work she did. Would definitely use again in the future.”
“Yingfei was wonderful with our two dogs. She met them ahead of time and asked great questions about what kind of care they needed. Both of my dogs take medication and Yingfei was willing to administer this. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave great updates. My dogs ate and slept well at her home and returned home happy. I had a great experience with Yingfei and will definitely use her again.”
“Valantina was very patient and knowledgeable. My boys felt very comfortable and made me feel better with leaving them in her hands 😇 Got plenty of updates and pictures, they loved her! Definitely recommend ☺️”
“Kelli did an amazing job with our anxious dog. It was her first time going to a sitter since she lost her big sister. She loved playing in the fenced yard and all the cuddles.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—dogs, cats, and all the little personalities in between. From playful puppies to sweet senior pets (and independent but cuddly cats), I’m patient, gentle, and follow routines closely so everyone feels safe and loved. Expect lots of updates, photos, and care from your pet’s second favorite human 💛🐾 I'm currently available full time, 7 days a week. I am available for dog walking or spending time dropping by and feeding your fur babies (canine or feline). When I’m caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to their normal routine so everything feels familiar and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked or played with, given lots of love, and kept safe and comfortable. I’m happy to handle litter boxes, medications if needed, and special instructions—plus I always send updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for by their second favorite human 🐾💛
“Hanna was very kind, and willing to help us at the last minute before the Christmas holiday. My dog Cooper was very nervous, and Hanna did her best to make sure he was comfortable during his short stay. Thank you, Hanna!”
“Kathryn and Marlee were wonderful! Venus was well taken care of and I had no worries while I was away! Highly recommend and will be using Kathryn’s services again!”
