“Julia took amazing care of my dog for over 3 weeks strait while I was away on travel. So happy my pup had a great home to spend time at while I was away.”


“If you want your pet to be spoiled and catered to while you’re away, I highly recommend Nana! She was fantastic with providing care and updates.”

“Katie was phenomenal and loved our Taz as if he was her own! We got lots of photos and updates and reassurance that he was adjusting well to his long stay with her. I definitely recommend Katie and will be rebooking!”

“Teddi had the best time ever with Sarah! Sarah gave me daily updates and all the pictures I wanted. She was a great communicator from the start. Teddi already can’t wait to go back. Thanks, Sarah!”

“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

“Our Louie loves staying with Dustin and Margaret and their kids. He was calm and happy when we picked him up and the pictures they shared when we were out of town showed a pup who was very much at home with them. We feel lucky to have found a family who takes such good care of our best friend.”


“Jennifer is a sweet heart!! I was nervous leaving my cat behind while I was on a trip due to her circumstances. Jennifer updated me multiple times throughout the day and sent pictures each time. She treated my cat with absolute kindness as if it was her own. She is so sweet to speak to in general and you can definitely feel her warm energy. She is so welcoming.”


“Leslie is amazing! We traveled into town for a family memorial and fortunately she was available. We have a high-anxiety dog and she was super attentive to his needs. Both of our pups settled right in. We highly recommend her!”

“Reba was wonderful with our 7-month old puppy! She made sure he had plenty of play opportunities and kept us updated with pictures throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“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!”

“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.”

“We were so lucky to find Marie when we needed to book 3 days and 2 nights on short notice. Our 6 year old adopted mix was mistreated as a pup and as a result is fearful and easily stressed by new situations. To our happy surprise, Marie and her family put him at ease in record time! It was a great stay for him, top of our list!”

“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”

“Alyssa was a great person to work with for my cat sitting needs! She was very communicative, reliable, and provided excellent pet care for the duration of the visits. All info/instructions were followed and she was able to provide daily pics of the visits. Took a huge weight off the shoulders knowing a caring person was visiting my pet each day while on my long trip!”

“Autumn really came through in a pinch and went above and beyond for us! Having to be away from home unexpectedly was stressful but knowing my cats were safe and well cared for was such a relief! I would call on her again without hesitation. 🥰”


“Hope did a wonderful job checking in on my Marca. Sent a bunch of pictures for me and communicated clearly what she did while at my place. Would book again!”

“My cats were in good hands with Katie checking in on them and spending some time with them as well! She even left some cute treats and toys for them. Katie went above and beyond and also collected my mail while I was out of town. I’ll definitely Italy be reaching back out next time I need a sitter.”

“Brooke did a wonderful job of dropping by and taking care of our 3 cats. Even the super shy one she tried her best to connect with and give special attention. For the 2 more forward cats, it was apparent when we got home just how well they handled their first time away from us. She kept us updated on how they all three were doing, and went above and beyond caring for them! All the pictures she sent back really put our minds at ease that they were doing great while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Brooke again for future trips away from home.”

“Gabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns. Gabbie was attentive to what my dog needs, has been consistently on-time and has built up trust with her in the span of a week. Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!”

“Stephen, thank you so much for taking care of Aira for the weekend I was gone! I really appreciated your pictures and your updates. They were very prompt 💛 I now know I can trust you for future visits!!”

“Isa took such great care of our puppy! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my puppy with a sitter instead of a doggy daycare. Isa answered all of my questions about the process and gave me the chance to come meet her first. She was also very flexible as I had to book it sort of last minute and didn't have an exact time of when we would be picking up our puppy. Also our puppy was still finishing recovery from a recent surgery, and Isa was very understanding of this and made sure he got enough Rex. I really appreciated Isa's updates and pictures throughout the day, and I know our puppy had a lot of fun as he was very tired when he got home! Thank you again Isa, we will definitely bring our puppy back in the future!”


“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Hallie took care of my doggo one day while it stormed really bad and there were tornado touchdowns close and she was great about keeping me up to date on how he was doing and that they were safe.”

“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. 😊”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and will make your dog feel right at home. I treat every pup like my own with tons of love, attention, and playtime. Your dog will also have fun hanging out with my friendly pup, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics so you never have to worry! I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule varies a bit week to week, but pet care is still something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I do my best to keep my availability updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or care during the evenings/weekends. Safety is super important to me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, a calm environment, and plenty of attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and routine so I can help them feel safe and cared for. During walks or outdoor time, I keep a close eye on them and make sure they’re secure, comfortable, and having fun.

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.
“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!”

“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!”


“Ruthie was great with my deaf little puppy. He is afraid of other dogs but she was sweet and patient and he accepted the others. Her dog Ginger is the sweetest little cuties! Will book again!”


“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! 😊”

“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!”

“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!”


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!!
“Hope took amazing care of our golden retriever while we were out of town for the week. She was flexible with her schedule and set up early morning walks to avoid the summer heat. Hope also had great recommendations to help with walks as well. We would 100% recommend Hope for any of your pet sitting needs! She’s the best!!”

“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 have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For the past several years, family members, neighbors, and friends in the St. Louis area have trusted me to check in on their dogs, feed them, play with them, stay overnight when needed, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m kind, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities. Whether they want a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or just calm company. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently searching for full time employment so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups! There are occasional weekends where I have family things to attend but please reach out and ask! I have pretty open availability. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I’m happy to provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. I also treat every client’s home with respect and care, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as instructed.

My own dog has earned his AKC "Good Citizen" certificate and I am part-time employed as a dog trainer at a pet store. l also have some experience with chickens. Currently I am available only on weekday mornings from 9am to 1pm as I work part-time. It's possible I could get more availability in the future. I am a details-oriented person who can meet the individual needs of animals and their people both. In addition, I know a great deal about canine behavior and behavior modification.
“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. ?”
“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’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.

“Allison has been dropping in and taking our dog on walks for a few months now and she has been wonderful! She is very prompt, reliable, and communicates well. We would highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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?”

“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!”

“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!!”


“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!”

“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”
