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.
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”

“My dogs have stayed twice with francie. It has gone really well. I believe she really enjoys them and they come home happy. She is easy to communicate with and flexible with drop off pick up times. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”
“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!”

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!
“Stephen was really wonderful. My poor kitty had some separation anxiety, but Stephen worked really hard to win her over. Every day he sent multiple pictures and a very detailed report.

Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”
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.
“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.”

They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”
“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!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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. 😊”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“Francie was fantastic, plenty of playtime and outside time for my little Gía with other small pups. She was flexible with pickup times and took great care of my little girl. Will definitely use her services again. Thanks, Francie!”
“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%”
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.
“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 !”

“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.”
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.
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.
“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: 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.
“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 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!
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 :)
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!
“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.”
“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.”
About: With a nurturing touch and an innate ability to quickly bond with animals, I provide exceptional pet care by treating them as cherished family members. Specializing in both puppy training and senior care, I ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Drawing from my experience of owning multiple dogs since the age of 12, I understand the unique needs and dynamics of canine companionship. After completing my morning workouts, basketball training, and studies, I have plenty of free time throughout the day. I find solace in spending time with pets during these moments of relaxation. It's a genuine joy for me, and I'm always available to make new furry friends whenever the opportunity arises. I create a safe and cozy environment for pets, whether it's at my place or yours. I make sure there are no dangers around and follow your instructions closely. Your furry friend will get all the care they need, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
