I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been up around animals my whole life and have experience with all different types. I’m comfortable with pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m reliable when it comes to sticking to routines, whether that’s specific feeding times, multiple daily walks, or just giving your pet the attention they’re used to. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your pet like my own while you’re away. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime. I also go on several walks throughout the day for dogs that need extra exercise or energy release. I’m available for boarding in my home, as well as drop-in visits and check-ins throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run around and explore, and I always make sure pets are supervised and comfortable while in my care. I’m happy to follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, or special requests to help your pet feel at home. I can care for pets at my house or make visits to your home throughout the day to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.
“We have been sending Ellie to daycare with Jordan since July 9th and we have had a wonderful experience! We know that she is safe and happy at Jordan’s. He takes her for walks and she enjoys them a lot! He was kind enough to give her a bath when we couldn’t manage to during a really busy week. Very flexible with timings too. We highly recommend Jordan!”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
“My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!”
“I met Damica early this morning to drop off Bentley and she was more than welcoming. It seems he really took a liking to her. He acted really well, and she sent me many updates about his day and progress at her home and he did amazing. He was more than ready for bed when we got home…lol I loved it. We will be booking again 100%”
“Katie was everything I needed and more! Very friendly, clean home/yard, and from all the adorable photos I could tell Echo was well loved. Looking forward to many more stays.”

“Laurie was so kind and understanding of my hesitation to let someone else take my dog out of my hands. Olive had a lovely walk, came back nice and tuckered out so that I could continue my work day without worrying about her being bored. We will absolutely be rebooking with Laurie and I’m so glad that this was our first experience with Rover! Can’t recommend enough. ?”
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.
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I have to say though that I cannot walk for an extended period in thunderstorms or freezing/icey temperatures. That's for my safety as well as your dog's. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them
“Lauren was great and available short notice. It’s clear she has lots of experience with dogs and loves them! She even took Nell Bell out in the pouring rain and was very prompt. Thank you so much for hanging with my senior best friend and providing her good care.”
“Janina took excellent care of my pup. She was communicative, prompt, and even helped her learn to walk better on a leash! She provided sweet updates that helped me feel at ease.”
“Kati was an amazing dog walker! she was very good with my dog (who is a difficult dog). My dog has significant reactivity towards other dogs on walks and she worked with him with dog treats to help with that. She also brought some of her own dog toys to help me when I first got my dog, and overall had many helpful tips for me! I would highly highly recommend!!”
About: I love animals and am doing this more as a hobby than to make money. I spent 3 summers working at a doggy daycare/boarding. I am the go to dog/cat sitter in my apartment complex, office, and with my friend group. I love to meet new furry friends! I have a very flexible weekly schedule with work. I usually make my own schedule. I work fully remote two days a week and am off by 3 on Fridays. No work and completely flexible Saturday and Sundays! I care for pets by following their established routines and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. I believe it’s important to treat every pet as my own!!
About: I’ve been around both cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. Growing up with pets taught me how important it is to provide them with attention, patience, and consistent care. Whether your pet is playful and social or prefers a quieter approach, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I’ll treat your cat or dog with the same care and affection I’d give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and enjoyable part of my daily routine, especially as a teacher with summers off. I love spending my extra time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Being around animals is something I truly enjoy, and I appreciate the chance to fill my days with walks, visits, playtime, and companionship. I’m reliable, attentive, and excited to give each pet the care and attention they deserve I currently care for my two cats at home, so I’m very comfortable with daily cat care routines like feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing their individual personalities and needs. In addition, I often help care for my parents’ dogs when needed, so I also have experience with feeding, walking, and general dog care. This mix of hands-on experience has made me confident and attentive with both cats and dogs, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Virginia is the best!! Our dog and kitties love her. She’s professional, keeps us updated and is quick to respond should we have any questions or needs. We highly recommend Virginia!”
“Sarah was AMAZING. We had a spontaneous day trip the pups couldn’t join, and Sarah fit them in her schedule last minute! She made time to meet them while we were home so we were all more comfortable. My timid baby hid in his bed and almost refused any walks, water, or food. Sarah was patient and knowledgeable, and was able to coerce him out and appropriately rewarded him. Her care, communication, and adorable pictures kept us from worrying about leaving our babies overnight. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Chris and Sam were great with our dogs and professional! They were super flexible when it was too hot for the dogs to walk and had excellent communication throughout. I loved getting a video of the dogs mid-walk. We will be booking them for more dog walks and housesitting in the future!”
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 have grown up with dogs and since middle school have pets sat for many pets including dogs, cats, and birds. I am currently a dog walker volunteer at the Humane Society of Missouri where I have walked and enriched all breeds of dogs. In addition, I have walked all ages of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am a big dog lover and can’t wait to help out in anyway I can! I have flexible hours outside of school class times and am happy to come in anytime to walk or drop in. I’m very patient, kind, and would happy to meet and greet before taking care of your pets! Reach out with any questions you may have. I currently work part-time and am a college student. During the week, I have early morning (6-8 AM), late afternoon and evening availability. I have all day availability on Saturday. My schedule will change soon once summer starts where I’ll have all week availability in the afternoons and evenings and Saturday and Sunday availability. Safety and trust are two very valuable qualities and I strive to meet those every time I meet a dog. I make sure to read dog’s body language, and understand their behavior and temperament. I am more than happy to walk dogs around most neighborhoods, drop in and care for your dog, and pet sit overnight on weekends. I love to walk and run around the Saint Louis County Area and parks around STL such as Forest Park and Tower Grove. I will make sure to meet all the needs of your dog, care for and love them, and take them on any adventures they want to.
