They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

I definitely recommend housing your cats with them and I plan to do it again for my next vacation”

They also had fun playing with her fur baby and cannot wait to go back!”

“I am SO grateful to have found TzuYu to check in on my cats while I was out of town! She is not only kind and great with animals, but she is also incredibly thorough in getting the full rundown of their routine and making sure they get some play in during her drop-ins. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“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.”
“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.

About: I am a very energetic and active dog mom. I have 1 american bulldog his name is Andy he is my baby. He is about 4 years old. I also got one puppy her name is Chanelle and she is 6 months old. He is so full of energy and she is the most friendliest adorable puppy you will ever see! Other than my 4 legged son, I have a beautiful spacious clean home. I keep everything organized and tidy. I have a fenced back yard where I play with my puppy and keep him active daily. I also go on walks and jogs every night after work and love to treat my puppy when he does a fantastic job! :) (which he always does)!! I’m currently working part time from home and have immediate availability. I have a large home and very spacious backyard. I provide treats and daily walks :) I have a fenced yard. Cage, baby gates to block off certain areas as well. I am a friendly pup mom and am always to help or take care of any pup at my home or customers. I currently work in the mornings part time and am available after 430pm for boarding , pet visits or walks.

Safety and communication is a priority for me!
“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!”
“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%”

“My puppy is super anxious (recently adopted) and Ruthie was excellent with her. She gave her extra attention and was very soothing. Highly recommend Ruthie for anyone with a nervous pup.”
“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: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I’ve been the go-to pet caretaker for family members since I was nine. Whether it was for relatives traveling out of town or my own beloved dogs, I’ve handled a variety of breeds and temperaments with the utmost care and dedication. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in experienced, loving hands. My daily routine revolves around my pup. Each morning starts with a walk before I head to school for a few hours. When I get back, we enjoy some quality time, and I make sure my dog is fed and happy. Even when I work the night shift, I have a trusted friend who comes by to take care of my dog. At night, my dog is right by my side, sleeping in the bed with me until the next morning. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention I give my own. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every dog in my care. Whether your dog prefers to be in or out of the crate, I ensure they are comfortable and secure. You can trust that I maintain a vigilant and caring watch over all the dogs I look after.
“Alora was obviously comfortable, is definitely tuckered despite the rain, and we especially appreciate Jon & Alex accommodating Alora's protests of not joining me at work :) great daycare hosts!”
“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!”
“OMG, my dog just loves being at Jordans! When I went to pick him up he kept trying to go back into the house!!! Obviously my little man feels very comfortable there... and I think he has a little crush on Jordans dog Penny!!”

“We found Jamie when we were looking for someone to walk our 2 dogs while I was out of town and my husband had 12 hour work shifts. We have a 10 month old and 2 year old pitbulls, and Jamie was wonderful with them!! He came over late at night and walked them nearly 2 miles every time, even in the pouring rain! He cleaned up when our puppy had an accident, and left wonderful notes so we could know how the visit went. We even told him he didn’t need to walk our older dog since the puppy is handful enough, but he easily walked both of them every time! We will definitely use Jamie again and again when we need a dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Uğer could not be more kind and patient with my energetic young dogs. He has also been reliable and very communicative as a dog walker. You can really tell how much he loves dogs. I could not recommend him higher and will request his services any time I need care for my pups.”
“Jenn has been walking Oakley for a few months now. She is incredibly consistent and has been flexible to switch days when needed. She always shares pics of Oakley and it’s clear he’s having a great time and enjoying his walks. Definitely recommend working with Jenn!”
About: I've owned animals my whole life! from dogs to cats to rabbits to rats! I have 1 dog and 2 rats as now. I am capable to take care of whatever you throw at me for sure! right now i am looking for employment so my schedule is completely open for you! whether you need me in the morning or night, weekday or weekend, i am available! I am available to come to your house and watch your babies! My house has a dog and rats so I don't think it's best to bring babies over here but tell me where I need to be and I'll be there!
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
“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!!”
About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.
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 :)
“Sarah has been fantastic! She’s really good with both of my pups despite them having polar opposite personalities. She’s very professional and a great communicator. Would highly recommend.”
“Stephanie was great with Marvin! Always on time, cheerful, and very easy to schedule with. Communicative about any issues and helpful in caring for my pup like he was her own. Thank you Stephanie!”
“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!”
