“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“I could tell Ruby enjoyed her time with Laura and her family! Laura was great with communication and sending photos and videos. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”
“She was amazing, sweet, & great with Marley! She made sure to walk Marley everyday which is his favorite thing to do & she also made sure she walked him before it got too hot which I really appreciate! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”
“Reba took excellent care of my 7 month old Collie mix, which needless to say, required a lot of energy and patience. Reba made sure my dog was well exercised and loved, and my dog came back exhausted from all of the fun which was great for me after a long weekend. She sent me lots of pictures which eased my worries of leaving my dog with someone for the first time. I will definitely have Reba watch my dog again! She loved my dog like her own.”
“My husband and I went on vacation out of the country for 2 weeks and felt completely comfortable having Sarah watch our 2 dogs during that time. They got plenty of attention, cuddles and love while we were gone! Very thankful for the great care Sarah provided, we won’t hesitate to request that she watch them for future trips as well!”
About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.
“Loved all the pictures and updates Jennifer sent to me during my trip. My kitten is newly adopted and I was nervous leaving her but Jennifer made me feel so much better. It was a very positive experience!”
“Leslie is a fabulous pet sitter! She updated me often with photos and I really appreciated that. She also followed up with me about when to bring our dogs home and she was prompt and reliable. I highly recommend Leslie. We actually have her already booked again for a future stay.”
“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Max. He is a senior dog with some health issues and she did a great job looking after him. Elizabeth was very responsive to our texts whenever we asked for updates and she sent us notes and pictures of Max regularly. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“We were a little nervous because we hadn’t boarded our oldest, Spark Plug, with a stranger before. But Jennifer’s house was the perfect place for him while we were gone. From the many photos, videos and written updates that we received (and very much appreciated), it looks like both of our dogs had a blast playing in Jennifer’s backyard and napping on her couch. Jennifer’s confidence and easy going attitude also helped put us at ease when we dropped our dogs off at the beginning of our vacation. Thank you!”
“Madeline was absolutely AMAZING! Our two dogs stayed with her for 5 nights, and we received frequent updates and photos the entire time. I highly recommend her!”
“Ben has watched our 12 lb rescue chihuahua mix 3 times now, and we already have the 4th scheduled. His communication is great, he send photos throughout the stay, and Lana seems to love it there.”
“First time having our dog stay with Adolfo and she was well taken care of with the love and attention she needed. Will definitely be using his services again!”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”

“Jacqueline took great care of my cat when I was away from home. She listened to and followed the instructions very carefully. She was responsive to my messages. My cat seemed very comfortable with her. I would book her again.”
“Julia was wonderful! She took great care of my 2 cats and even brought fun new toys for them to play with during her visits. I came home to happy kitties and will definitely request her again 😻”
“Mikayla was amazing! She helped us out with sort of last minute drop ins and was super reliable. She kept in touch, showed up right on time, and sent us photo updates. We came home to happy cats and a tidy house. We recommend her!”
“Swetha is so amazing and we are able to rest easy knowing that she is the one watching our cats. We’ve booked her in the past and I will never forget how carefully she was watching my cat who was recovering from surgery and even managed to replace the cone when my cat took it off herself!! Communication with Swetha is super easy, she’s very responsive, detail-oriented, and clearly just has a great vibe because my shy cats actually love playing with her. I wouldn’t hesitate booking Swetha again in the future!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with our kitties. She went above and beyond to meet them beforehand and did exactly as we asked while we were away. Absolutely would recommend Emily to anyone needing someone to drop by and feed their kitties while they’re away! Very grateful to have found a dependable sitter!”
About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”
“Leanna did a great job with Mojo! She was great at communicating and sending me pictures of how he was doing. I probably would not have enjoyed my trip as much as I did if I didn’t have her checking up on Mojo.”
“Stephen has been my cat sitter for the past two years, and he’s been amazing. Always reliable, caring, and great with updates. My cat absolutely loves him — highly recommend!”
“Brook was fantastic! She had no problem giving my grumpy senior cat his daily pill, and she spent extra time to love on my sociable cat. I will definitely use her again!”
“Natalee did a fantastic job with our nervous cat. Some pets take patience and understanding and she has both in spades. She provided great feedback and is who I will contact any time I need a pet sitter.”
“Hope took wonderful care of our two kitties over Spring Break! She sent regular updates with videos of playtime and communicated everything we needed to know so we could just relax & enjoy vacation. She is awesome.”
About: While I have not personally owned a cat, my family had two cats while I was growing up. Many of my close friends also have cats so I have experienced many different breeds and temperaments.
“Alena took such great care of our elderly cat with special medical needs. She was very communicative and gave us very detailed notes and shared photos with us. She helped ease our minds and made sure that our girl was well taken care of. Thank you, Alena!!!”
“She was communicative and went above and beyond for my two kitties :) she was the first person I hired on here, so I’m really happy that my first experience went so well! What a relief that there are hard working people who also care about pets in STL!”

“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”
“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”
“Isa was awesome with our baby, Olive. She took great care of her and Olive always came home sleepy and happy. She would be so excited when she saw Isa every time I dropped her off. Would definitely recommend Isa for your fur baby.”
“Damica is trustworthy and excellent with my pup. Kya has come home tired and happy from daycare both times I have picked her up, which is exactly what I wanted! Damica is quick to respond and provides updated videos/photos throughout the day so I can see what Kya is up to. Will definitely rehire.”

“Shannon and Daniel are great people. Friendly, accommodating and took great care of Sadie. She was very happy when I picked her up and she slept most of the 2.5 hr drive home. They went above and beyond helping me locate a central location to meet my sister and her family to ride together to the Cardinals’ game. I will definitely use them again next time I’m in St Louis.”
“Hailie was super friendly and easy to work with. I had a last minute booking and she worked with me to make it happen. My pups had a great time with her and her family and came home happy and ready to rest! We will be a return customer for sure! Thank you Hailie.”
“This was our first experience using a doggie sitter from Rover but definitely won’t be our last. Brian was wonderful! He was extremely flexible in accommodating our schedule and took such great care of Sparky and Crouton! Loved all the pictures he sent!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, pigs, sheep, and cows, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a dog named Sharon, whom I originally fostered along with her five puppies for eight weeks - an experience that gave me plenty of hands on experience caring for puppies and dogs with different needs and personalities. Many of my closest friendships were built around our shared love of dogs, and we’ve regularly helped care for each other’s pets over the years. I’ve hosted dogs in my own home, as well as stayed in clients’ homes to care for elderly dogs who needed extra attention, patience, and comfort. I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Currently working from home so I will be a constant presence throughout the day. This also allows me to take your dog for as many walks as needed or any other specific services required. I have one dog who is usually a couch potato and sleeps all day. She is very dog friendly in all aspects. I have a fenced in backyard and a doggy door so they have full access. Toys and treats are available (if allowed)! Happy to follow any and all instructions.
“Fran has been absolutely amazing with my little guy, Archie!! She is amazingly flexible and has gone out of her way to provide good care for him and to help me with my crazy work schedule! I highly recommend her!!”

“Renee is wonderful. She is reliable, communicative, punctual, and has my dog's best interests at heart. I trust her fully to make sure that my pup is happy and safe on walks. When my dog was sick, she kept a close eye on her and kept me updated about symptoms. She's absolutely incredible and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: In my house growing up there were many different cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, gerbils, and even a tortoise. I also have experience taking care of chickens and pigs. I love pets and I have been missing mine since I moved to St. Louis in August. I work every weekday from 10-645 so I am free after that. My weekends are open. I am totally free on most Saturdays and Sundays. I will make sure that I have all the information I need before I start watching a pet. The client's contact, neighbors contacts, any additional necessary phone numbers, etc. I will make sure I know all I can about the pet before I am left with them.
About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter who truly loves dogs. I have experience taking care of my own dogs as well as other dogs, including staying completely alone with two dogs for an entire week. I’m very attentive to routines such as feeding schedules, walks, and giving lots of affection and attention. I make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m reliable, patient, and I take this responsibility seriously. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel at ease while they’re away. I would love to take care of your dog and treat them like my own 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m flexible with schedules. I can adapt to your dog’s routine and make sure they receive attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment at all times. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, feeding schedules, and routines. I pay close attention during walks and at home to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I have a 5 year old 100lb staffordshire terrier named Kaido that I raised and trained since he was 6 weeks old. I crate trained, house trained, recall trained, socialized, and lead trained him myself. I have also Kaido to help work with other dogs that are not well socialized or have anxiety issues. I am currently working two part time jobs as a research coordinator so I am typically able to be flexible with whatever schedule is requested. While my apartment does not have a fenced yard, I do have a large dog crate if needed and have knowledge of many dog parks and trails in the St Louis area.
About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own and previously had dogs, so I understand the unique needs, energy levels, and personalities of both. I offer dependable dog walks while you’re at work and attentive, loving care when you’re out of town. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and routine are my priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I work from home and make my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and consistent with pet care. Because of that, I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and extended visits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’ve also worked remotely from clients’ homes in the past, so if your pet needs extra attention while you’re out of town, I can spend extended time there while still handling my work responsibilities. This flexibility allows me to prioritize your pet’s routine, exercise, and comfort without feeling rushed. At this time, I do not bring pets into my own home. All care is provided in my client’s home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your specific instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to minimize stress and make your time away as smooth as possible for both you and your pet.
About: I'm a Rolla native and a current college student at Saint Louis University. I love running and long walks, so if you have a high-energy pup who needs a good run I'm the walker for you! I grew up on a small farm, and because of that I've had a lot of experience with various medical needs, and I know how to give medications orally. I've potty trained and raised several dogs and cats, and I have developed the patience of a saint because of it. I look forward to working with you and your furry family members!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since my teens. Family, friends, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, and give loving attention. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to plan my days around pet care, walks, feedings, playtime, and plenty of attention. 🐾 I provide safe, calm care by following routines, respecting your home, supervising pets closely, and creating a clean, secure, stress-free environment at all times. 🐾
“Meghan was absolutely wonderful with our high energy mini schnauzer Oli! They even ran together and Oli had the happiest face in her card picture. Oli also looked very well cared for when we got back home. Meghan was careful to wipe Oli’s muddy paws, refresh her water bowl, and spoil her with a couple treats. Her updates were detailed, yet concise. We loved having Meghan as Oli’s new friend and would recommend her to our family and friends. :)”

“Jenn is amazing! We recently moved to St. Louis and Jenn hopped right in to helping us out with our dog. Jenn is so thorough with pictures and updates. In the past we’ve had dog walkers that don’t actually give our dog a walk and instead do just a pee break but Jenn makes sure our dog gets outside and moves! Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been taking care of backyard stray cats to having one on my own. I learned to love and take care of cats by spending most of my time with them I’m a grad student so I am busy in the morning but flexible during my breaks.
