“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”

About: I’ve had a lot of past experience dog and cat sitting for family friends at a younger age, as well as taking care of my own pets! I’ve always loved animals and would do everything in my power to make sure you AND your animal have a great experience! 🩷 I am a full time culinary student so I am usually busy in the mornings! But I am only taking online classes this summer so I am free most days. I’ve had cats ever since I was a little girl! My cat Casper has been with me for almost 8 whole years and I’ve had Bigby for 6 months! I just absolutely love playing with animals and making sure they are as happy as they can possibly be. All my animals are spoiled little babies and I’ll do just the same for yours :)

“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.”
“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”
“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.”
“Nicole and Tim are the best!!! They have really kind, positive, calm energy and my black lab immediately loved them. They were super responsive and easy to coordinate with, and their setup is perfect. Their yard is great with a nice high fence, and as someone whose dog gets into everything I really appreciated how neat and clean their apt was. Most importantly though, Darcy had a great time and seemed very happy and relaxed. 10/10, highly recommend. We will definitely use again!”
“My husband and I traveled from Indiana to St Louis for a baseball game and booked Marie for a few hours to watch our pug, Grace. Not only was Marie amazing, her kids were fantastic! All of them love dogs and were genuinely delighted to have Grace with them that day! We will absolutely book Marie next time we are in St Louis, thanks with all our hearts for making us feel welcome! If there were more stars than five I'd give them all!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sarah was so great! She answered all of my questions I asked before booking, was super responsive and so sweet with Cooper and sent me pictures and video throughout the day so I knew he was doing good.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I have cared for pets throughout my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ducks, and cockatiels. While I am allergic to cats, I love them and keep cat food available for the neighborhood strays. I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors and am comfortable meeting your pet at whatever stage of life they are in. I will provide you with updates on how your pet is doing at least once a day, including a photo and a message. Of course, you are also welcome to check in at any time. Please rest assured, your pet will be well taken care of and living their best life. I work in marketing for the pet industry, which enables me to work from home and maintain a flexible schedule. I am a morning person, so taking a walk in the morning is often more enjoyable for me than for the dogs. I strive to be attentive to the well-being of pets both inside and outside, focusing on their nutrition, training, socialization, and overall care. I have two 10-lb Goldendoodles, Pepita and Miso, who are very social and have a nurturing yet playful spirit. We prefer to care for one dog at a time, as we believe this provides a better experience for both the pet and the owner. Our goal is to prioritize the best interests of your pet, recognizing that each pet has unique needs and requires individual attention and care while their loved ones are away.
“Alex was great to watch my pup lux for the day! Lux is usually shy at first but wasn’t with Alex. Lux seemed well taken care of and had a fun day! Would use Alex again in the future to care for lux!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a kid. Today, I still have two family dogs and two cats that I absolutely adore. One of my favorite things to do is get outside and exercise, so if your dog loves long walks, runs, or adventures, I’m always happy to help them burn off some energy! I’m very comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved! Schedule I work from home with a very flexible schedule during the week, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My family dogs and cats stay at my parents so I don’t have any pets in my apartment.

“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!”
“Hadiyah is incredible with dogs! She is very caring and has a great connection. She was always very loving with my dog, and worked with me to continue his training on walks. She is extremely trustworthy and consistent. My dog and I both love her!!!”
“Hope is amazing! She’s prompt, responsive, follows care instructions carefully, does extra things like bringing in mail (so thoughtful), and seems to truly care about my senior pup. Highly recommended!”

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 had dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them daily. I’ve raised a puppy and currently have a well-trained dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time but am available most days during the week and can be flexible with scheduling as needed for pet care and walks. I prioritize safety and trust in every visit. I follow owner instructions closely, keep dogs on-leash during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are never left unattended. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time.
“Liz is dependable, responsible, and kind, I highly recommend hiring her! She walks our 8 year old dog and gives her medicine on week days. She is easy to contact and flexible for changes in our schedule. Our dog loves Liz, she has a very calm and easygoing presence.”
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.
“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.”

“Prompt, reliable, capable and could be a professional pet photographer all describe Hayley. She has been walking my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy for several weeks. She arrives at the requested time, she's patient with my energetic puppy and takes the best pictures (I've posted them on social media and my friends absolutely LOVE her!). She communicates in a timely manner. I work FT and need someone I can depend on to care for my pet, and Hayley has done a fantastic job doing it. Thank you so much.”

“We needed a dog walker/sitter very last minute. I contacted Elizabeth as she has stellar reviews. Luckily she could take us on, and she came over that night to meet our pup. Our dog can be a little funny around new people, but he took to Elizabeth right away, which eased our minds before we left for vacation. While away, Elizabeth kept in touch with great photos and comments to keep us updated on the status of our good boy, Max! We could tell from the pictures that Max was having the time of his life. We are so pleased with Elizabeth’s care and would definitely ask her to take care of our dog in the future!”
“Lara is great - she handles my large dog with ease - he can be leash reactive and that requires expertise. And she is consistent and timely and reliable. What else could you ask for?”
“Linda is wonderful! She was so sweet and patient with my girl and Lala loved her! I would absolutely recommend Linda and will be scheduling another walk with her again soon!”
“Annie is wonderful! I always feel peace of mind at work knowing she is going over to walk him. She is also a great communicator and has stepped up last minute a few times when I needed it. Thanks Annie!”
