“Our dogs enjoyed their stay and we greatly appreciated the updates given throughout! Our dog Oscar can be a little fear aggressive with strangers and he was at ease right away.”

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.
“Penelope had a great time! Julia sent pictures for us which kept me at ease. It was a great vacation for both of us. I would definitely use her next time.”

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!

About: 5 years of experience taking care of my baby cat Ama who’s on allergy medication, I’m good at observing cat behaviors and identifying abnormal signals. 1 year of cat shelter volunteering, I am making friends with cats with different personalities. Now, I want to meet yours.
About: Although I am new to rover, I have always grown up with a dog in my house and have always been the first to offer my friends help with caring for their dogs whether it’s watching them for a week or just taking them for a walk while my friends are busy! I have experience with both puppies and older dogs. While I am in St Louis over the summer I have a very empty schedule, other than early mornings, so I will have high availability to come and check on your pet throughout the day! I care for pets in the same way that I would want my dog to be cared for! I love spending time with animals so I will always take time to play with them, take long walks, cuddle, etc.

“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.”

“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.”

“I can’t say enough about how great Lauren was with our puppy. She was so kind and loving to him and he was very well cared for. She was super flexible with our schedule, which I greatly appreciate! I would give her a 10 star review if I could. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

“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!”


“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!”

About: I have two super goofy, friendly, and loving male Pit bulls. I work from home so will be around pretty much all the time. I take my dogs on a walk mostly 3 times a day but again I’m around a lot and get bored easily so might be 5 times a day :) My dogs are definitely spoiled and should not expect anything less for your pet when I’m watching them! I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special care such as taking medicine. Mostly home all day and night. I work from home so your pet will always be attended too unless I leave to make a quick errand run. My dogs do have cages but they are barely in them. Whenever I do leave my dogs stay out freely but they do well in their cages when needed. They do get along very well with other pets. Small dogs or large dogs.
“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 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. 😊”

“Jessica watched our Shih Tzu all day while we went to Our son’s law school graduation. It was first time leaving her with sitter all day. Jessica sent lots of pictures and text updates with really eased my mind a lot!! I would definitely book her again when I return to St Louis !”

“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%”

“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.”

“My pup is always so excited and happy to spend time at Isa’s. She really cares for my baby as if she were her own. I know she’s had a great day when I pick her up, happy and tired from a full day with Isa and some of her furry friends. It’s really nice to be able to rely on Isa for daycare and boarding. I highly recommend her!”

“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.”

About: Hello! My name is Medona but I prefer to go by Ruby! I grew up with dogs in my house and pets have become family members. I literally take them out every time I'm out hiking, shopping, picnics, etc. I have experience working with kids and the elderly so I am very patient and responsible. As a person who loves what Utah has to offer, I would love to have a buddy with me to hit the hiking trails. I'm more than willing to work along your regular schedule for your dogs regarding feeding, walk, and medication time too. As a dog owner myself, I get very anxious about how my favorite boy is doing so I usually send daily updates to make sure you have peace of mind. My partner takes care of my dog (Mani) when I'm watching other pets so there would be no interactions with Mani unless you feel comfortable! Contact me with any questions and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! :) I'm currently working a full time job but can come during lunch breaks to check up on them. My weekend starts at noon on Friday.

“Kelcey was so sweet and super quick to respond. She sent plenty of updates and kept our little Minnie happy! Totally recommend as she has a child who’s great for young pups!”

“Alexa is super fast to respond and very caring with my puppy! She always makes sure that he is comfortable and happy when she takes him on his walks, and she takes the best pictures of him to keep me up to date.”

“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.”

“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.”

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life - from my own to those of neighbors and family friends. I am able to care for young puppies to those of a more senior age. I also have volunteer experience with various types of dogs at an animal shelter. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am available mainly in the evenings or on the weekends. I would love to help your pet get the care they need! I care for each and every pet like they are my own. First and foremost I will prioritize their safety, and your wishes as the pet parent!

“Kyani treated my dog as if she were her own fur baby! My pet was VERY well cared for, and I got detailed updates and pictures for each visit. Definitely planning to book with Kyani again if she’s available!”

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: 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.
“We’ve been working with Morgan consistently over the past 6 months and she has been absolutely fantastic! She’s incredibly communicative and reliable giving us complete peace of mind. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to any of our close friends and family!!”

“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: Hi!! I am a 21 year old pre-med student! I grew up surrounded by animals, whether that was my own dog, horses I rode, or dogs I pet sit! I absolutely adore all animals, but dogs in specific! I also am a super active person and love to spend time on long walks and runs. I miss my dog LOTS when i'm at college and loving on other dogs brings me so much joy!! My dog was blind when she become a senior, so I have experience working with animals with disabilities and senior care. I am a pre-med college student! I work part time and very flexible hours. I love spending time outside taking long walks and have lots of free time to have those walks joined by pets! I also love running and would be happy to run dogs as well! I am not currently in a position to have other pets in my own home, but I am an avid pet lover and very kind and gentle. I am willing to do whatever makes your pet the most comfortable in their home and environment!
“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.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life! Dogs of all ages, guinea pigs, fish, and more. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and fun! It is especially fulfilling to care for your pets while being away from mine while at school. With no evening classes this semester, I have plenty of flexibility in the mornings and afternoons. I am excited to use that time caring for your fur babies! I give dogs freedom to sniff, stroll, and play at their pace—always sticking to their routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
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 :)

I highly recommend booking with her, and will do so again myself in the future. :)”
