Highly-rated overnight sitters - College Hill
“Everyone in Kelly's family chipped in to make our little guy feel loved and at home. My wife worried that he won't want to come home. Will definitely board with Kelly 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.”
“I am thrilled with how my dogs were taken care of. When we got home they were exhausted because they’re not used to so much attention. I don’t ever want to leave my dogs again, but I know they will always have a safe and loving place to stay. I was concerned that my pit bull would be too much to handle but she was given the enormous amounts of attention that she needs. Great experience. My dogs slept with her daughter which is so much better then staying in a kennel.”
“SO HAPPY we found Karen to take care of our dog while we were away! She is wonderful and took excellent care of Peanut! During our trip, we received texts with photos and nice comments. We really hope that Karen will be available next time we are away, because we will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Ebony was very patient with allowing my dog to warm up to her. She sent pictures daily and by the end of the visit, my dog finally came around and bonded very well with Ebony and other dogs. Awesome service!?”
“Laronna took good care of Sadie and updated me daily with pictures of her and a Video. We plan on booking with her in the future. I will recommend her to anyone I know that needs a dog sitter and have them reach her through Rover@e.rover.com. Donna”
“I have no words to express how pleased and blessed we are to have found Katie on this platform. For a long time, we hesitated to leave our puppies Dexter and Lilly in someone else's care due to Dexter’s medical condition who suffers from seizures, thyroid, and arthritic problems, which requires medical treatment 4 times a day with everything what that includes. Also, Lilly being a very affectionate rescued dog but super nervous and difficult to get on trust with other adults. Finding Katie has allowed us to feel very relieved and confident that our puppies are receiving not only the best care and attention, but also the most genuine affection that anyone can give us. Like everything in life, there is a time to adapt to changes, however, Katie and her family made this adaptation for Dexter and Lilly and for us also the best! Katie, thank for your patience, understanding, constant communication and love for our babies, we are happy to be able to count on you for the care of our furry babies.”
“Jennifer is so wonderful! She eased our minds by caring for our senior dog who has a couple peculiarities with his required care. Cosmo came home more relaxed and rested than any other time he has been away from us. We will hire Jennifer again very soon!”
“I absolutely would recommend Jayde to ANY and EVERYONE! She was so good with my doggy. She shared pictures with an update every single night. She even got to sleep in Jayde's bed! Jayde honestly treated my baby like she was her own. She was honestly fabulous. I would use her 100 times over, if I ever need another dog sitter she will definitely be who I use! (if I could give her 10 stars I would)”
“Francie is wonderful! She is very responsive and flexible. She provided updates and pictures everyday we were gone. Our pup, Tanner, had a great time with Francie and playing with new friends. We would definitely recommend her and will be taking Tanner to her again!”
“Mary took great care of Craig! He is not quick to trust many people and really seemed to be comfortable with Mary. He got to play outside, go on walks, and take naps- all of his favorite things.”
“Shannon was amazing! She was so flexible when my flights were cancelled and I had to change my pickup plans. My dogs had a blast and made themselves right at home! I will definitely use her again for any future trips! Thank you so much for being so amazing!”
“Jane took care of my dog Leo for a week while I traveled to DC for my sister’s wedding. She was great and sent me updates daily. She also made sure Leo took the medications he needed to take while I was out. Leo had a lot of fun with Jane’s pups and I was able to enjoy my sisters wedding ?”
“Linda & her husband were amazing. My dog had a great time, and I loved getting photo updates. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and attentive. I’ll definitely be booking with Linda again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!”
“Cait & her family went above and beyond while hosting my two dogs. She made me feel at ease from the first communication and throughout their entire stay. They came home happy and exhausted. They are looking forward to next time!”
“Jamie and Aaron were amazing!! Max had the best time and I think he was sad to leave. They provided pictures and video while he was there. Will definitely use them in future!!”
“Louie came home from Julia’s in such a good mood and well behaved. Julia is super knowledgeable and met with Louie prior and understood his quirks as a dog. Louie is 2 but still has puppy energy and Julias son played and cuddled well with him too. Would definitely recommend 10/10!”

“Chloe was great. Took good care of my two cats - communicative, hung out with them for a bit, sent pictures, and was very punctual. Which I appreciated greatly as one of the cats needs meds 2x a day.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends most of my life, but especially in the last 6 years. I’ve become the go-to person to care for friends’ pets and feel comfortable following detailed care instructions. My aim is to provide peace of mind while you are away from your beloved pet(s). My seasonal job allows me to spend all day with my pets and I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. That means long walks, lots of playtime, and reinforcement of their training. For cats, a routine is key and I love getting to see their personalities come out as I gain their trust. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks in the neighborhood and bringing him to nearby parks for a change of scenery.
“Brooke is the best!! My kitty is a little spicy and doesn’t like having guests over when I’m not home. She was so great with him, came for a meet and greet, and gave him his space and met him where he’s at. This is the best I’ve ever felt leaving him because I knew she was going to have a handle on it!”
“Mae always does an amazing job with my kitties! They followed instructions very well, sent lots of photos, and were very respectful of my space when they watched my cats overnight!!”
“Stephen was wonderful looking after our Ody our cat. He was super communicative and went above and beyond to make Ody comfortable. Thanks Stephen!”
“Tara was absolutely amazing! My cat Turtle absolutely loves her and she sends such cute and fun pictures of my little Turtle each visit. I’m so glad I found her, and I’ll definitely plan to rebook her in the future (:”
“Phoebe was so wonderful! She took excellent care of my fur babes while I was out of town. She was excellent at communication and my fur babes loved her! 10/10 recommend!”
“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.”
“Abby was awesome! She fed my cats for a few days while I was out of town. They have a fairly particular eating routine which she nailed and sent great pictures. She always came on time and even my shy cat seemed comfortable with her. She left a sweet card and some new toys! I’ll definitely be utilizing Abby in the future.”
“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.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong cat lover with 18 years of hands-on pet care experience.

Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I believe every pet is unique and should be treated like family. My big heart, positive personality, and genuine passion for animals allow me to build trust with both pets and their owners.

I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your beloved companion, and I strive to provide peace of mind through dependable, compassionate care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and treating them with the same love and attention I would give my own.
“I moved to STL and had to travel less than a week later. My cat was unusually a bit skittish in a new place amongst a bunch of boxes. Katie came through for me on very short notice and made me feel comfortable that she had my buddy covered. Thank you Katie!”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat. I was out of town for a few days and needed someone to check in on my cat while I was gone. Jennifer was quick with her communications, friendly, caring, and easy to work with. I'm very happy with the experience and would definitely ask her to look after my cat again!”
“Maddie was super communicative, above and beyond in caring for my two sweet cats!! They absolutely adored her and I would 100% book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a super reliable and kind sitter!”
“Kati was great with my cats! I had to book some drop ins last minute and Kati was extremely responsive and attentive to my cats’ needs. Would highly recommend booking with Kati!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - College Hill
“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.”
“Keena provided amazing day care for my dog, Jasper. I could tell he how much he liked her right away. Jasper joined Keena and her family for a day full of fun activities. Keena shared so many wonderful photos. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her services again.”
“Nicole and Tim were so welcoming and so kind. It was Benny’s first time spending time away besides groomers and he had so much fun! The updates throughout the day really made us be at ease. We are so happy with his stay and will come back to Tim and Nicole when we are in town. 😊”
“I have a young puppy (3 months old) and she had a great time. She was well taken care of and will definitely be coming back! I was provided updates and pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“We did a half day of daycare with Marie as an introduction (first meeting). Everything seemed to go great, and our pup was happy at pick up! We definitely plan to use Marie in the future.”
“Lauren was great! We booked her last minute to watch our dog while we visited Gateway Arch National Park for three hours. We dropped her off, she updated us with how she was doing and sent photos, and she gave us a rundown of everything she did while she was there. 10/10, would use her 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! ❤️”
“I’m so grateful for Laura and her family. She was incredibly flexible from start to finish, and my dog is completely worn out—in the best way! Laura gave her all the attention I couldn’t, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”
About: I’ve owed and taken care of animals for decades. They are an indelible part of families and should be treated with an abundance of love. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to love and care for animals. Your pet will be treated as a member of my family. I have owned four dogs but they have all crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a fenced yard. Your pet will be allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed (if they want to).
“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’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.
“Allison was the perfect person to take care of my shy pooch. She was calm and reassuring and he seemed very comfortable with her. She took him for a long walk, which he always enjoys. And she lives very close to the hotel I stay at. I’ll definitely use her on my next visit to St. Louis.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 6 from my personal pets to my aunts or neighbors I’ve always cared for and adored animals. Caring for pets isn’t just “checking in” to me — it’s making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood while you’re away. I specialize in working with cats (especially shy, anxious, or independent ones who don’t warm up to everyone), but I also provide loving, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. With my background as a licensed pharmacy technician, I bring an extra level of attention to detail when it comes to medications, routines, and noticing small changes in behavior. Whether your pet needs basic care or a little extra support, I’ve got it covered. I also keep a small pet supply inventory on hand — so if you’re busy or forget something (food, litter, treats, etc.), I can help without it turning into a stressful situation. You’ll always get consistent updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, structure, and a lot of love. I am currently a stay at home mom, so your pets can get most of my undivided attention from me and my daughter who also adores animals. I do not have a fenced yard, but i have a big back and front yard definitely enough space for any pet to enjoy! I let my daughter play out there while I watch.
“Viki and her family are wonderful. Our puppy has been going to her for daycare for about a month. He absolutely loves going! He comes home tired and we can always tell he had a fun time! We love having someone we trust to watch our 4 month old puppy. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with her. Thanks Viki for taking such great care of our puppy! We recommend her to anyone who will listen!”

“Haley was great with my dog! She asked great questions to get to know her beforehand and was very knowledgeable about bigger dogs. I will definitely have her come back!”
“Meghan, I’m so grateful for you. You came into my home with such calm care, followed every instruction, and treated my fur family with genuine love. You took Arrow for a real walk, made sure everything was secure, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing my home was safe and my dog and cat were so well cared for meant everything to me. I’m looking forward to having you back very soon.”
“Annamaria has been great! Charlie seems to really like her, and she’s been able to get him out of the house every visit so far - he can sometimes be a bit stubborn and refuse to get up lol. I’m very happy with the service so far, and definitely plan to continue having her work with Charlie.”
“10/10 stars. We love having Jamie over for our dog. We couldn’t give a better rating. From the beginning he made it clear that our dogs safety and comfort was his main priority. We are glad we have him for Adele. Thanks Jamie.”
“I had a last minute need for a dog walker Kyani was available and met us same day so she could walk her the next day. She was very caring and great with my dog!”
“Abby took the time and effort to drive over and meet my dog prior to walking him the day after, which I really appreciated. She took lots of pictures of Mando. Professional and kind. Thank you.”
“Mallory was so awesome with Butters’ walk. She gives me updates every walk and she made sure to read Butters needs for walks during these hot days. Thank you so so much. hope to have Butters’ walks again with you soon.”
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 run a 5k every day and can handle large or small dogs. For boarding I have 2 acres of fenced in grass nearby where I run by husky at daily. My experience : I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I now have a 2yo siberian Husky, Shryko, who I have off-leash trained for hikes and river adventures. So I'm very active, and my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime. I have a fenced in yard and large living room. 1 dog, 8 month 40lb siberian husky girl who loves company and playtime. Also have a large crate if separation is needed.
About: I’m an attentive, deeply responsible pet sitter with a warm heart and a professional approach to care. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a child, loving and caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. I’m always open to learning and training because your peace of mind matters to me. My background in a detail-driven healthcare field means I value precision, safety, and following care plans exactly as written. Whether your pet has two legs, four, or more, I treat them with the same care and respect I give to my own family members. I’ll treat your pet like my own and give them the attention, comfort, and best care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m currently working part-time and have flexibility over my schedule. I can build in extra time for daily walks, feeding, play sessions, and care plan tasks without rushing. This means I’m able to stay consistent, be present with your pet, and adjust my day as needed to match their routine and comfort. I care for pets in your home since my place doesn’t allow pets indoors. I’ve been around animals all my life, and like many pet owners, I’ve learned to recognize their cues and patterns simply from growing up with them. It may take a little time to learn your pet’s quirks, but I enjoy that process and find it fun to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. The level of care I provide matches your pet’s specific needs. If you just need walks or drop-in visits, I’m happy with that. If your pet needs medication, special feeding, or other care tasks, I’m comfortable handling those too. I’m ready to rise to the level your pet needs and will follow your care plan exactly.
“This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.”
