“Our dog Kota loved staying at Laura’s place. Laura is a patient, loving and intelligent caregiver. Excellent communication. Her house is set up well and there’s space for dogs both to play and to have quiet time. We will use Laura’s services again. Highly recommended!”
“Jenna was super easy to communicate with and they took great care of our dog! Mo had the best time with them. We are super grateful they were willing to watch our very energetic dog :)”
“Our pup absolutely loved every minute staying with Shaina! Each photo update was adorable and she was incredibly kind and flexible when our travel plans shifted which was an added bonus. We can’t wait to book with her again!!”
“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”
“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!”
“The peace of mind I have when I leave my puppy with Caitlin and Adam is invaluable. We were gone for almost 2 weeks and I never had a single concern. They take such good care of Jet!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. 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!”
“Reba is wonderful! She took amazing care of my girl, Penny. Penny has a bunch of quirks that don’t make it easy to care for her but I knew she was in wonderful hands with Reba. I highly recommend her!!”
“Mary was absolutely great with Lina. Lina has a medication schedule she stuck too, and despite her separation anxiety, Mary won her over quickly. She sent lots of updates so we felt reassured our dog was in good hands. We will definitely be booking again!”
“We appreciated Nana taking on Mowgli for a few days. She always kept us updated and welcomed Mowgli to her home. I appreciated the pictures and detailed updates throughout his stay. Mowgli was very happy since he got to play a lot and was very well taken care of.”
“Quinton was a very nice host to my fur baby! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in the photos he sent. Communicaton from him was definitely top tier. I’d definitely book again :)”
“Rosie stayed with Jordan for a long first stay, and she was a very happy pup when we picked her up. Jordan was really easy to coordinate with. We would definitely have Rosie stay with him again!”
“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!”
About: I have had a cat and dog of my own for 20 years and have been walking neighborhood dogs as well as pet sitting for about that long as well. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and would love to give your fur babies as much love and attention they may need or want while you are working or out of town! I am a photographer so I love documenting my time with them so you can keep updated on how they are doing while you are away. I own my photography studio and make my own schedule which allows me to be as flexible as I like to be available for you and your pups! I have a fenced yard with turf, a small pool in the summer, and covered back porch which allows freedom for my four pups to fun around in the fresh air as much as they like! My cat is pretty typical - she runs the show! She has full run of the house but loves taking advantage of my upstairs office because that's where all of her food, water, litter box, and hammock are. You can generally find all five of them rotating their time laying up in my front window keeping an eye on the neighborhood!
“Milo had a great stay at Paula’s. She made him feel very comfortable and was also very responsive. I also got his photos while we were away. 😊 Milo will definitely return. Highly recommend Paula if you are looking for a great pet sitter.”
“Guinness had such a good time at Sidney's house with her dog. He was exhausted and a little sad to leave them. She sent videos and pictures so I could see what Guinness was up to. Ill definitely be using her again!”
“Jennifer was amazing. I received daily updates including photos and videos. I came home to two healthy and happy pups and couldn’t have asked for anything more. I think they were sorry to leave. I will definitely rebook if she’ll have us!”
“Nicole and Tim do great with our dog. She ran straight up to the door on drop off and was excited to see them again! Nicole and Tim send frequent updates and pictures and we feel very comfortable that all her needs are met. Would recommend to others looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Ali was the best with our little, Ruby. Ruby has a sensitive stomach and is a small Maltipoo. Ali and her daughter were so loving and handled her food allergy with care. Ruby came home an exhausted little pup which is a sign she had plenty of activity. I would absolutely book Ali again!”
“Jordan did a great job with my higher maintenance dogs. She paid close attention to them and addressed a minor behavior concern (dog wasn’t eating) quickly. I highly recommend Jordan!”

“Debra was always on time and took great care of my cats. She kept me updated each visit on how they were doing. She took time to pet and talk to them. They were very content when I got home from my trip.”
“Harper made daily drop-ins for my cat while I was out of town and was so great about communication, sending me updates and photos every day. I felt like my cat was receiving plenty of attention. Thank you again!”
“Abby took great care of my cat Lewis. She sent pictures after every check in, which gave me so much comfort seeing he was okay while I was gone. Highly recommend!”
“Nat was absolutely wonderful with my kitties! She spent quality time with them, played with them, and always sent me pictures and thoughtful updates about their disposition and how they were doing. She went the extra mile to learn exactly which food each kitty received and the best times to visit. She even rinsed out the wet-food cans before discarding them and ran the garbage disposal so the apartment wouldn’t smell like stale cat food. When I came home, everything was incredibly clean and smelled great—and, most importantly, my kitties were completely stress-free and well-adjusted, as though nothing had changed at all. That kind of care and peace of mind is priceless. Thanks so much, Nat! You’re the best cat sitter I’ve ever had!”
“Sheldyn was an amazing dog sitter, and we would highly recommend her! Before watching our dogs, she took the time to meet with them and really understand their personalities, routines, and the care they needed. She was incredibly flexible with their schedules and treated both of our dogs with so much care and attention. We loved receiving regular updates about how they were doing, and she was always quick to let us know if she noticed anything that might be a concern. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our dogs, which made us feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Best of all, our dogs were always excited to see her and ready to play whenever she arrived! Sheldyn is kind, dependable, animal-friendly, and someone we would absolutely trust with our dogs 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.”
About: I have several years of prior veterinary technician experience, and have worked with and/or pet sit cats of all kinds with many different needs. I have a very nurturing nature and am passionate about providing care for animals of all kind, which led me to pursue a PhD in Biology ( I study animal behavior.) 😊
“She was communicative and went above and beyond for my two kitties :) she was the first person I hired on here, so I’m really happy that my first experience went so well! What a relief that there are hard working people who also care about pets in STL!”
“Stephen provided exceptional care to our 2 cats while we were away, constantly making sure they were well taken care of and we were updated about them. My fiancé was nervous about using a Rover for the first time but we couldn’t be happier that we went with Stephen.”
“Sweet and agreeable, Kai is a pretty good young sitter. There were some discrepancies in rates and time lengths spent on a few of the visits, and we had some worries about my newer rescue's resistant responses. But all went well for the most part and i would recommend Kai to others.”
“Sits stayed with our cat while we were out of town and was absolutely wonderful. She shared plenty of pictures and communicated with us throughout the trip. She even trimmed our cat’s nails which is no easy task. Looking forward to having her watch our pets again!”
“Maddy was so amazing! She sent multiple updates a day with pictures, and our kitten was clearly incredibly well taken care of and happy. She left our place clean and just like we left it. We’d absolutely book with her again. Thank you again :)”
“Dieja not only loved our babies, checked their food/water, and watered our plants, she also changed their litter and took out our trash! She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again.”
“This was our first time working with Caroline. What a pleasure! Easy, to the point, great communication and care of Stella. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind she is in good hands. I definitely recommend her!”
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”
“We loved the care Emily provided our cats. She was beyond professional, and provided great care to our two cats. Would highly recommend her service to any one in need of a pet-sitter.”

“Isa is amazing! Bernie loved staying with her and came come happy & tired from all of the play and attention she received. Thankful to have found Isa and will be highly recommending her to others!”

“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!”
About: I've spent much of my life living with and caring for dogs--from growing up with dogs throughout childhood, to helping care for dogs as an adult, to having Spencer, my most recent dog. I don't currently have pets of my own, which means visiting dogs get my full attention and don't have to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. I genuinely miss having a dog around! I work from home and love the idea of giving someone's dog a cozy, low-stress place to stay while their humans are away. I intentionally accept dogs from only one household at a time, so I'm able to get to know their routine, personality, and quirks and make sure they get lots of individual attention. I have a dog door that suits a large dog and a fenced-in backyard in beautiful Southwest Garden, across from The Hill. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and am happy to care for senior dogs. I'm currently focusing on friendly, reliably housetrained adult small and medium dogs that I can comfortably handle on leash. I prefer a meet-and-greet before a first stay so that both the dog and I can ensure we're comfortable together. And I love sending photos and updates! Getting pictures of Spencer when I traveled always made me happy, so I'm delighted to do the same for you. I work from home Monday through Friday from 9am-6pm, so I’m home much of the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and plenty of attention into my routine. I live on a quiet, tree-lined street with sidewalks and no through traffic, just ten houses from Sublette Park. I love walking the perimeter of the park, so dogs who enjoy walks will have plenty of opportunities to get out and "sniff the puppy newspaper." I’m happy to take dogs for several walks a day depending on their normal routine and energy level. I do leave the house for errands and activities, so dogs should be comfortable relaxing at home alone for a few hours at a time. I have a quiet, dog-friendly home with no resident pets, and I only host dogs from one household at a time. I have a large, fully fenced privacy backyard for supervised play and potty breaks, plus a dog door that can be closed and locked when needed. Dogs are welcome to relax on my large couch, which is always covered with waterproof pet blankets. At night, dogs can sleep in their own crate in my downstairs den, on the couch, or--if they’re well behaved without a crate--on a dog bed in my bedroom. I don’t provide a crate, so owners should bring one if their dog needs it. I prefer to meet new dogs before their first stay so I can learn their routine and make sure I can handle them comfortably and safely. I’m currently best suited for friendly, reliably housetrained adult dogs who aren’t strong pullers, destructive chewers, or determined escape artists.
“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.”
“Jacki was so great! Roscoe immediately felt at home and she sent update photos to keep me in the loop. Fae, her dog, was so sweet and was immediately Roscoe's buddy. Will definitely use her again!”
“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 !”
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. I am a very active dog mom and ensure to go on walks daily :) I take care of the fur babies by making sure I’m keeping an eye on them at all times and making sure they are safe and having fun. Safety and communication is a priority for me!
“Laura was fantastic! Our pups came home exhausted and we had peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while we were away. Laura put us and our pups at ease. She provided photos and a video. So cute! We’re glad we found her. We will definitely book again!”
“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Gracie! I do home remodeling & carpentry things for work, but my number one passion is in taking care of animals. I also travel pretty frequently and because of that, I’ve found this platform invaluable. So aside from wanting to meet and hang with your cute pets, I’d love to return the favor and help out fellow pet owners! Especially in those dire, last minute boarding/sitting situations. (been there 😅) Growing up, my family fostered retired racing greyhounds so I’m very comfortable around sensitive and unsure dogs. For several years I worked and lived on various animal farms- all of which had/bred livestock guardian dogs that I worked very closely with. I am experienced in senior care and administering medications (including injections) to all sorts of animals. I work for myself doing residential carpentry and remodeling, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m usually available for last minute bookings. I also never work very far from home. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s what they’re used to at home, and I have several dog beds set up around the house too. I also have a large crate available if your dog needs a quiet, secure space to settle into. I keep a close eye on dogs at all times, dog-proof the areas we’re in, and make sure fresh water is always available.
“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.”
“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!”
“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 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!”

“Jenn was amazing to my pup, Elton (and his little cat brother Balou)! She was extremely prompt and communicative and I never worried about my animals when they were in her care 🐾”
“Hope is so great. She cared for my last pup when her health was failing, showing true kindness, compassion, and care. And she has been wonderful with Kevin, a good and patient teacher to an energetic puppy. I trust and strongly recommend her.”
About: I am recently retired and have owned and cared for dogs for the last 30 years. I am a reliable, trustworthy dog walker/ visitor who will show love and affection to your dog. I currently own 2 dogs and have had dogs from puppy age up to 16 years old. I would love to take your dog for a walk or just come by and say hi !! I am recently retired so I have a flexible daytime schedule during the week. I can make those long days at home alone a better experience for your dog with a nice walk in your neighborhood and personalized attention at home, Having two dogs of my own, I am capable with multiple dog families. I will also give your dogs the extra attention they need before and after the walk.
“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!”
“Jessica is great! She is flexible with my schedule and treats my pup like one of her own. Phoebe gets so excited to see her. Jessica helps me feel less guilty about having to leave my fur baby while I’m at work all day. 100% would recommend her!”
“Our dog Lilly gets so excited when she sees Jeena! Jeena was available very last minute to walk Lilly every day this week after Lilly’s dad injured his foot and could not do it. We will definitely book Jeena in the future!”
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
“Jasmine walked our Roo for a week when our normal walker cancelled. She did a wonderful job. Attentive, reliable, and left great rover cards. Happy to have made connection with Jasmine since she is so good with Roo! ♥️🐾”
“Really wonderful experience with Ross. He is prompt and timely, an excellent communicator, and very nice! My dog loved him, I would not hesitate to book him again.”
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 cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide in-home care while they’re away. I’m comfortable following specific routines, handling leash walks, and making sure dogs feel safe, calm, and well cared for in their own environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding schedules, and visits. I’m dependable, organized, and make sure pets receive consistent care and attention. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow all instructions closely, respect routines, and make sure pets are secure and comfortable at all times. I keep spaces clean, double-check doors and gates, and provide calm, attentive care.
About: I was born and raised in Colorado and recently moved to St. Louis and I’m excited to explore the city while spending time with some amazing pets along the way! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have over 10+ years of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I genuinely love working with all kinds of pets, whether it’s taking dogs out for long walks, keeping up with energetic puppies, or spending quiet time with cats and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with dog walking, pet sitting, and cat check-ins, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and whatever else your pet needs. I’m an active person who enjoys being outside, so getting dogs out for exercise is something I really enjoy. At the same time, I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to help care for them and give you peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I grew up around dogs and have been a 2x cat mom for 5 years. I frequently pet sit for friends. I’ll treat your pets like my own! I work a full time job but I do have a lot of free time. I work 2-10:30pm with Fridays and Saturdays completely available . I’m very respectful of everyone’s personal spaces and am more than happy to tidy up after pets. As I have 2 cats of my own, I am not offering pet sitting in my own home.
About: ***Constant care pets will be an extra fee*** Constant care is care in which we cannot leave your pet alone for more than 3 hours. Meet and greets are free unless you need more than one before the stay, then the first meet and greet is free. My expertise is with older dogs, pets with disabilities (such as dementia or seizures), and pets that need medications. I'm also experienced in multi-pet homes where one or more pets are seniors/special needs and other pets are high energy or puppies/kittens. I have experience caring for pets who are recovering from operations as well. If your pet does need Constant care, we can negotiate a price that works for you. I've always had pets. I have always had cats, dogs, guinnea pigs, or ferrets. I'm versed in many kinds of animals and am happy to care additional small animals if needed. Short notice is ok as long as there are at least 2 days between the time I'm asked and the time of the stay so that there's time for a meet and greet. For repeat customers, I accept even same-day requests. I work 8 hours, 4 days a week. Since we do petsitting together, if there is a need for constant care, one of us will always be present in the home with your pet. Safety is my #1 priority when caring for your pets. I make sure to watch pets attentively on walks and in the yard to ensure maximum safety. My services include grabbing mail and packages, watering plants, giving medications as instructed, daily walks as instructed, basic cleaning up after myself and your pets, daily updates and pictures, and following your regular schedule as closely as possible to ensure as seamless a change as possible while you get to experience a worry-free time away.

“Our dog Kota loved staying at Laura’s place. Laura is a patient, loving and intelligent caregiver. Excellent communication. Her house is set up well and there’s space for dogs both to play and to have quiet time. We will use Laura’s services again. Highly recommended!”
“Jenna was super easy to communicate with and they took great care of our dog! Mo had the best time with them. We are super grateful they were willing to watch our very energetic dog :)”
“Our pup absolutely loved every minute staying with Shaina! Each photo update was adorable and she was incredibly kind and flexible when our travel plans shifted which was an added bonus. We can’t wait to book with her again!!”
“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”
“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!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. 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!”
“Quinton was a very nice host to my fur baby! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in the photos he sent. Communicaton from him was definitely top tier. I’d definitely book again :)”
“Rosie stayed with Jordan for a long first stay, and she was a very happy pup when we picked her up. Jordan was really easy to coordinate with. We would definitely have Rosie stay with him again!”
“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!”
About: I have had a cat and dog of my own for 20 years and have been walking neighborhood dogs as well as pet sitting for about that long as well. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and would love to give your fur babies as much love and attention they may need or want while you are working or out of town! I am a photographer so I love documenting my time with them so you can keep updated on how they are doing while you are away. I own my photography studio and make my own schedule which allows me to be as flexible as I like to be available for you and your pups! I have a fenced yard with turf, a small pool in the summer, and covered back porch which allows freedom for my four pups to fun around in the fresh air as much as they like! My cat is pretty typical - she runs the show! She has full run of the house but loves taking advantage of my upstairs office because that's where all of her food, water, litter box, and hammock are. You can generally find all five of them rotating their time laying up in my front window keeping an eye on the neighborhood!
“Milo had a great stay at Paula’s. She made him feel very comfortable and was also very responsive. I also got his photos while we were away. 😊 Milo will definitely return. Highly recommend Paula if you are looking for a great pet sitter.”
“Guinness had such a good time at Sidney's house with her dog. He was exhausted and a little sad to leave them. She sent videos and pictures so I could see what Guinness was up to. Ill definitely be using her again!”
“Ali was the best with our little, Ruby. Ruby has a sensitive stomach and is a small Maltipoo. Ali and her daughter were so loving and handled her food allergy with care. Ruby came home an exhausted little pup which is a sign she had plenty of activity. I would absolutely book Ali again!”
“Jordan did a great job with my higher maintenance dogs. She paid close attention to them and addressed a minor behavior concern (dog wasn’t eating) quickly. I highly recommend Jordan!”
“Elizabeth took such great care of Finley! She wrapped her up in a blanket when she noticed Finley getting scared of a thunderstorm. Her dog Lorax was also so sweet. They have a lovely home with a nice backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Gabrielle accepted my late request and went above and beyond to care for my little guy. My cat seemed very comfortable and happy in her space and she was very attentive to him and his needs. She watched him for me when he needed medicine administered twice daily and extra special attention which he got. I’m so grateful to have found her on Rover! Will definitely reach out to her again if I need a sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have helped take care of our family dogs since I was a little kid. I’ve also helped care for a few friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I work full time at chick fil a 5 days a week. I usually work mid shifts like 7-4, 8-5, 11-5 about 4 days a week and I always do some type of activity with my dog before I leave as well as feeding and letting him out. After I am always down to having fun with the pups! I have a fenced in backyard with one very playful, sweet pup who wants to be friends with every animal he meets! He’s very energetic so we are always going to the nearest park (which is basically right behind my house) or on a walk or playing in the yard! I also love to take the pups on a joy ride to get treats or just get some breeze!
“Blake was AMAZING! He took my same-day booking when I had to travel last minute and my usual sitter fell through 🩷 it was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Woods with someone he didn’t know so I was nervous, but I got videos and updates throughout each day! Both me and Woods had a great experience and I’ll 100% be reaching out Blake in the future”
“Adolfo was a great choice for my anxious pup! He has experience managing dogs who can be a little rough during play time (which mine is) and keeps a consistent daily routine with lots of outdoor playtime and naps. He was very communicative and sent lots of videos and pics of my baby throughout her stay so I knew she was safe and having fun. The only caveat I would mention is that Adolfo may not be most suitable for dogs with complex medical needs. Mine got a bad ear infection right before my trip; she’s resistant to medication and doesn’t like strangers touching her at all, so Adolfo had a harder time getting her to take her meds multiple times a day. He did a great job in a tough situation and was open about that being a bit outside of his skill level, but it’s definitely something to consider if you have a pup that needs lots of daily meds.”
