“No concerns. My Pax had a wonderful time. Ebony is a wonderful sitter and we will most definitely be back. I received pictures and updates throughout the day. He seemed to be smiling the entire time ?. Glad we found you Ebony!!!”
“Robert is an awesome dog boarder/dog watcher. He provided us with good updates and all the other things a good dog host does, but what sets him apart is is way with dogs. Our dog is usually defensive towards unknown guys, but with Robert, she was instantly at ease. I would 100% recommend Robert to anyone with a dog that is anxious or uncertain of others. He is a gem as a sitter/boarder in Rover! Thank you Robert!”
“This was our first time boarding our fur baby! Leah sent me pictures and kept me updated. My bougie dog enjoyed himself with other dogs. 10/10 recommend! We will definitely be a returned customer”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me
“Chelsea is wonderful! She was very accommodating and sweet. She shared her home with her two cats with my cat and let them all work their thing out naturally. I will book again!”
“Sara was great! She really knows dogs and I feel super comfortable with her and my dog. She listened to what we wanted and it was clear Abel had a great time! Will be working with Sara going forward!”
“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”
About: I have 10+ years of experience with animals. Growing up by a dirt road in Alabama ,I always made sure to care for and find homes for them while also having our own, I’ve taken college corses on training dogs although didn’t finish due to becoming a mother. We have a large backyard fenced, covered& partly enclosed patio & love to give. Animals are truly a wonderful being to have around and I want to teach my children the importance of them. I’ve watched big dogs & small dogs although starting off with this app I’m looking to watch small dogs. I take my oldest son to library, we can spend anywhere between 1-4 hours there & I pick up my youngest from his program at 3pm (right down the road) other than weekly/biweekly grocery/shopping trips, I’m at the house. We treat your dog like our family so that means ofc they are allowed on the couch and we have a fenced in back yard & covered patio while we love to spend time outside so you can be assured majority of the time we will be right there beside em. I do have a cat who spends majority of the time in our bedroom other than eating.
“Katie is the greatest! Our silly Bernese loves going to her house and loves Katie and her daughter! I always feel more than comfortable dropping her off, knowing she’s going to be well loved and safe! Thank you!”
“Laura was amazing with our boys all week. She sent lots of pictures and videos and was very patient while they adjusted to a new place. Already booked her for our next trip!”
“Jennifer is the best dog sitter! Our dogs have so much fun with Sammy & Archie and running around in her backyard. She is great with medication schedules and making sure our dog who is having mobility issues stayed safe & healthy.”
“Jordan was so kind and responsive. She sent me updates and pictures which was greatly appreciated! Will definitely be rebooking next time I’m out of town. Apollo had a great weekend! thank you ❤️”
“Francie has watched Willow twice now and is our go-to dog sitter! She is kind, caring, and stays in touch every day with updates and pictures. We appreciate Francie and all that she does!”
“Highly recommend! Our shih tzu is adopted from a puppy mill and is a little quirky. He loved Mary and we could tell she took the time to get to know him and make him comfortable! Charlie had a great vacation at Mary’s!”
“Tre’Ana was a wonderful sitter for my puppy. It was extremely last minute and she was so patient and caring for my last minute trip and did an amazing job of taking care of my pup. The pictures she sent of my pup and giving me updates you can see how happy he was in her home. I highly recommend her services. With the global computer outage I was running late to pick up my puppy and she stayed up late and was incredibly patient with me. She went above and beyond for a stranger like me and for my dog which is incredibly important so I thank you Tre’Ana for being such a great care taker. I plan on using her again for my trip this week. I recommend you do the same if you want excellent professional care.”

“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!!”
“Jill is the best! She treats our cats like her own and I always know they’ll be taken care of. We have three cats - one who needs medication, two who have to stay separated but rotate areas, and all three who love attention. She manages it wonderfully and we’ll definitely be calling her again for our next trip!”
“Karrie did a wonderful job looking after my two cats (one of whom needs meds and extra care) while I was away for a week! When I came home I could tell that they were well looked after. I highly recommended her, she's a true animal lover!”
“Jamie was really nice. She played with my kitties and even fed and watered the outdoor feral cat that come up. She was on time and always sent photos of my cats even the one who is timid and was always hiding under the bed and gave him treats. My other kitty looked forward to her coming over. I would recommend her as a pet sitter”
“Quia cares about her customers and our fur babies. She came down to our car to check on my daughter because we had lost our other cat a few months ago. Such compassion 🥰”
About: Thats what they always ask. Why aren’t you a better cat? I’ve only own my giant orange Galileo for his 14 years but he has taught me so much more than every other critter I have had the pleasure of meeting. Cats are absolutely the master of their own worlds. Sometimes that’s glued right to your side and sometimes that’s in a far-away cat tree but they are their own beings who make their own decisions. I am very grateful to have had every experience I’ve gotten with every cat I’ve met. Including, a 19yo in her final months, a few kittens just learning how to get around in the world, and the most bonkers critters just having a grand ole time making chaos. Not only will you teach me about your cat but your cat will teach me about how to enter their environment. I promise to learn, listen, and complete any ritual that’s needed before dinner is served.
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.
“Sara is extremely easy to work with, communicative, and reliable. She came through for my family at the last minute and did an amazing job. I highly recommend her services”
“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: I am a real animal lover. We have two wonderful puppers and I won’t rest until your cat loves me! I am always the one at a party who is playing with the dogs/cats/animals instead of socializing. Well maybe socializing more with the pets than people. I’ve had experience with pets as young as 3mo old to seniors that need insulin, medication, and special diets. I take it personally if pets don’t love me and I won’t rest until they do!
About: I love all breeds of dogs. I used to walk my neighbors doggies for fun when I was little. I've house sat for many friends with animals & plants for long periods of time. I've raised many puppies in my life time. I have two of my own that are now 2 and 5. They're everything to me. There's absolutely no better feeling than hearing the pitter patter of their feet on the floor as they're coming to attack me with love and kisses. I've never been without at least one dog in my household as long as I've been alive and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've also played sports my whole life so I love being active and playing games with the pups. I'm currently working part time so my availability is pretty open for the most part right now. I'm mainly unavailable after 4pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have two full sized crates at my home and a fenced in back patio with great sun for sunbathing. If I'm in your home, I'll respect your home as if it were mine & make sure the babies get soo much lot of love and attention. Picture/ video updates as often as you'd like. ❤️
“Christina is GREAT! She treats my dog so well. She’s also very good with my cat. She goes above and beyond when taking care of my babies for me. It’s nice to know that when I can’t be with them that someone is showing them such great care.”
About: I've cared for cats on-and-off as an adult for the last 8 years. I grew up with cats as family pets, so caring for them feels like second-nature! I tend to be my friends' go-to person for cat sitting and house-sitting. I don't mind spending the day or staying overnight to keep cats company. I follow instructions well, and keeping clean litter boxes & bagging/trashing dirty litter is always my priority!
“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.”
“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!”
“Natalie did a wonderful job watching our cats while we were out of the country for a week. She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of pictures and video. Our house was left in perfect shape and I know the kitties enjoyed hanging out with her!”

“Pickup and droppoff was easy. From the beginning she handled Ace with care. Once we got home he laid down which is great because I asked if she could get some of his energy out and she definitely did. She also kept me updated throughout the day which I did appreciate. Will definitely be booking again.”

“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.”

Im trying to save up enough to continue my education. I’m currently working as a part time dog groomer Mondays/Fridays, a little busier after holidays . I’m still available to do check ins every 2-4hrs for potty breaks on those days. My home is very spacious, plus I have a dog park within walking distance. I prefer dogs that’s kid friendly as I do have a toddler.
“Phoebe gets so excited when I say ‘let’s go for a ride’ because she knows this routine may include going to doggy daycare @ The Wolf Pack❤️. She gets to play with her doggie friends and gets quite a workout. A tired dog is a happy good dog. So thankful that we found Rachel! Awesomeness”

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.

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.

About: I’ve always said that my dream job would be walking dogs and also volunteering at a dog shelter. Welp, after a move I’m semi-retired with a flexible work from home business and need to keep busy. I love dogs and have two of my own. Jennifurkey is a 2 year old papillon we got from the pound. She was 3mo old and her former owner got arrested for DUI and she went to puppy jail (the pound) and was never claimed. She has never felt unwanted since! Her older brother Me-Lo YoPupawitz, Attorney at Paw (chihuahua 11yo) is her parter in crime! They are inseparable. Over the years we have had a mix of dogs and are huge dog lovers. We have had everything from a 3mo old pound puppy to a diabetic rescue dog that was used as a breeder for 7 years with spinal problems that was kept in a kennel for those 7 years… and our last dog who made it to 17 years old with hearing, vision, and other ailments that required special food and medication. If you can’t tell, I am very experienced in a magnitude of dog care and will treat your dogs as if they were my own! I always have a bit of squee when I see cute puppies (all dogs are puppies lol) in public. I am somewhat retired. Recently moved to Granite City from California. I am regularly in Metro East and St. Louis. I don’t mind travel within 15 miles or so. I mostly work remotely from home and generally have a flexible schedule. I am available for one-offs if you’re busy or traveling or ongoing while you’re at work! We live out in the country off a gravel road, yet only 6 miles from downtown St. Louis! We are on half an acre with a fenced in yard. We currently have 2 small dogs. Jennifurkey is a 3yo papillon who is a ball of love and energy. She loves to play and run around in the yard. Me-Lo YoPupawitz, Attorney at Paw is a 11 year old chihuahua who is slow to trust but once he likes you or another dog, will be best friends. We regularly treat our yard with pet safe pesticides for flea, tick, and other unwanted critters. We actively grow lavender, lemongrass, and French marigolds as all-natural pest repellent. Also we walk the perimeter daily to ensure no pup is digging an escape tunnel lol In your home I will ensure that your babies routine remain as close to normal as possible. They can be kenneled at night or if house sitting they can sleep wherever they are used to. They are already stressed missing you, why make it any harder. As long as you have WiFi, I can work and take care of your babies. I am experienced in administering basic medicines and possibly insulin, depending on how used to or your baby is.

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.
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs of all sizes. I have taken them on walks, play catch, given meds, and willing to do whatever you need for your pup! I am doing this for some extra cash so my schedule is very open. Willing to work with you and try my best to accommodate! I like to make sure the pet is comfortable with me especially when their person is gone so I like to com by and meet you and the pet before your trip! I try my absolute best to stick with their routine and make sure I’m getting all of their needs met. I have dealt with high energy pups to pups with a lot of anxiety. I love em all even with their special quirks!

“Robert is an awesome dog boarder/dog watcher. He provided us with good updates and all the other things a good dog host does, but what sets him apart is is way with dogs. Our dog is usually defensive towards unknown guys, but with Robert, she was instantly at ease. I would 100% recommend Robert to anyone with a dog that is anxious or uncertain of others. He is a gem as a sitter/boarder in Rover! Thank you Robert!”
“This was our first time boarding our fur baby! Leah sent me pictures and kept me updated. My bougie dog enjoyed himself with other dogs. 10/10 recommend! We will definitely be a returned customer”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me
“Chelsea is wonderful! She was very accommodating and sweet. She shared her home with her two cats with my cat and let them all work their thing out naturally. I will book again!”
“Sara was great! She really knows dogs and I feel super comfortable with her and my dog. She listened to what we wanted and it was clear Abel had a great time! Will be working with Sara going forward!”
“Katie is the greatest! Our silly Bernese loves going to her house and loves Katie and her daughter! I always feel more than comfortable dropping her off, knowing she’s going to be well loved and safe! Thank you!”
“Laura was amazing with our boys all week. She sent lots of pictures and videos and was very patient while they adjusted to a new place. Already booked her for our next trip!”
“Jordan was so kind and responsive. She sent me updates and pictures which was greatly appreciated! Will definitely be rebooking next time I’m out of town. Apollo had a great weekend! thank you ❤️”
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”
“Julia took great care of Nixon! It seemed like he really liked her and he became super comfortable around her when he stayed at her place! Will definitely book again with Julia if I go out of town again!”
“Linda and Dwight are always so great with our dog. We can tell he enjoys his stay with them and we get updates and photos of him through the day, which we love. Will definitely book again!”
“Raven made sure my dog and cat were happy and cared for during our vacation, and I felt so comfortable knowing they were in her hands! We got pictures and updates, and I would have no hesitation boarding them with Raven again”
“Christy was fantastic! She has great dog energy and was very communicative. I loved having updates, pictures and videos, so I always knew my dog was safe and happy. I will definitely be contacting her again in the future ☺️”
“Quia was great with Fritz! I appreciate her warm and caring nature and know that Fritz was well cared for. She sent regular updates on how he was doing and pictures/videos so we could see how he was getting along. I will definitely trust her with Fritz’s care again.”
