“10/10. Communication was great, my dog seems to have had a great time. Plus NaNa was very accommodating considering I booked last minute. Thanks again!”
“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!”

“Stephen is a gem! He is thorough, flexible and reliable, and I could tell my cat loved his visits. It was such a relief to know he was looking after her and we will definitely be calling upon him again!”
“Very attentive and although he only had 30 minutes he still made sure to play, give treats, and cuddle with them. Went above and beyond what we requested.”
“Abby was absolutely amazing with our 3 kitties! We loved all the photos. One of our cats is picky on who he lets cuddle/pick him up, but Abby won him over. Thank you Abby!”
“Jenn was an amazing pet sitter for our little kitties!! She was always on time for their food time and kept to our schedule with the litter box cleaning. She left us daily photos and an overall visit summary every time! We would 100% recommend her for anyone!! We will definitely be using her next time, and every time after that as well!”

“Brooklyn is THE BEST. From the moment I read her profile I knew she was the perfect match. Then when we met her I was able to completely relax about going to the other side of the world, knowing our old man would be looked after by someone who not only is super qualified— but caring, responsible and super communicative. I want to boost her on here because she so deserves it, but worried she is going to get so busy that she won’t be available! Book her- trust me. A million thanks to you Brooke for giving us peace of mind.”
“Jacqueline was great with Momo! She was quick to respond to my messages over the holidays and attentive when following Momo’s specific meal routine.”
“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.”
“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”
“Hannah was great!! Super responsive when we needed a sitter last minute and great about keeping us updated along the way! Would absolutely book again!”
“Ruby was fantastic - so easy to work with and kept our kitties happy and well fed while we went out of town for a few days. We will definitely reach out to Ruby the next time we need a cat sitter!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog person — there’s never been a time in my life without one! These days, my chocolate lab is enjoying his well-earned retirement (walks are officially off his agenda), which means I have all this love and energy to give. I would absolutely love to be your dog’s favorite part of the day! I currently work full time, as a hybrid employee so I’m working for home at least two days for home with a flexible schedule. That gives me plenty of time to walk your dog or check in on them. For drop in visits and dog walking, I would follow your request for your dogs needs. At this time, I am not doing overnight stays
“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!”

“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: 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.
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.

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)!!

“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.”
“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!”
“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: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been more than pets—they’ve been family. Growing up as an only child, my dog was my best friend, and I took on the responsibility of crate and potty training him. I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, including a pit bull, and I understand their unique needs. I also have some experience with puppies and love learning about their specific care requirements. Whether it’s keeping up with their energy, helping with training, or providing plenty of affection, I’m ready to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me complete flexibility to care for your pet. Whether you need daytime, evening, or even last-minute walks or sitting, I’m fully available to meet your needs. I believe that caring for pets in their home environment is the best way to ensure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. Being in a familiar space reduces stress and helps pets maintain their routine, which is essential for their well-being. I’m dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment wherever I care for them, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply providing companionship, I take the time to learn each pet’s needs and preferences. I understand how important it is for pets to feel loved and cared for while their owners are away.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lauren is such a sweet and caring person with Romeo. I’m so glad she was able to help out! She communicates clearly, shows genuine care, and made sure Romeo was well taken care of. I’ll definitely be asking for her help again—highly recommended!”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience, including volunteering at the Humane Society. I provide dependable, caring walks and treat every dog like family. I work full time for the St Louis Blues but I have an hour long lunch, work ends at 4 pm and I have most weekends available. I grew up with dogs my whole life so I am more than comfortable around dogs all shapes and sizes. I love to walk so they'll get plenty of exercise. I volunteer at the humane society so I feel more than comfortable creating a safe environment. I live alone and have no pets so I will be able to give your dog my full attention.
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’m an attentive, deeply responsible pet sitter with a warm heart and a professional approach to care. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a child, loving and caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. I’m always open to learning and training because your peace of mind matters to me. My background in a detail-driven healthcare field means I value precision, safety, and following care plans exactly as written. Whether your pet has two legs, four, or more, I treat them with the same care and respect I give to my own family members. I’ll treat your pet like my own and give them the attention, comfort, and best care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m currently working part-time and have flexibility over my schedule. I can build in extra time for daily walks, feeding, play sessions, and care plan tasks without rushing. This means I’m able to stay consistent, be present with your pet, and adjust my day as needed to match their routine and comfort. I care for pets in your home since my place doesn’t allow pets indoors. I’ve been around animals all my life, and like many pet owners, I’ve learned to recognize their cues and patterns simply from growing up with them. It may take a little time to learn your pet’s quirks, but I enjoy that process and find it fun to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. The level of care I provide matches your pet’s specific needs. If you just need walks or drop-in visits, I’m happy with that. If your pet needs medication, special feeding, or other care tasks, I’m comfortable handling those too. I’m ready to rise to the level your pet needs and will follow your care plan exactly.
