“I was a nervous mom when it comes to where my fur baby was going to stay while I went on vacation and I am so thankful that I ran into Laura on the rover.com site she was so very nice and warm and always smiling made things very easy and she sent me pictures and videos of my dog so that I could still feel close and be part of his life.. my dog loved her so much that I'm not so sure he wanted to come home with me lol”
“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!”
“This was our 2nd stay with Julia and it went great! Penny was well cared for and Julia sent regular updates. Would definitely recommend booking a stay with Julia.”
“Jennifer is the best dog sitter I've ever met! She cared for my furry kids like they were her own. She sent daily updates and pictures. I could tell they were happy and comfortable. I didn't worry at all while I was gone because I knew they were in great hands. I'm so thankful I thought of rover.com and found Jennifer!”
“Leslie was outstanding with our dog Molly! She was quick to respond with booking and other communication. She sent pictures during Molly’s stay and checked in. I would highly recommend Leslie!”
“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.”
“Happy with Sarah taking care of our two Husky dogs. We received daily update about the dogs and pictures. Dogs looked good and happy when we picked them up. Will book with Sarah again.”
“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”
“Leslie has watched our two dogs on a couple of occasions and we couldn’t be happier with her care! She sends us entertaining stories during the dogs’ stay, including pictures, so we feel delightfully informed about their stay while we’re away. Leslie has been so accommodating when we’ve needed to book a last minute stay and we can always tell the dogs have been lovingly cared for in our absence. Highly recommend Leslie, she has an extraordinary gift with dogs!”
“We loved our first experience with Reba! It was our puppy’s first time staying with a Rover and Reba made him (and us) feel like part of her family. She kept us updated all weekend with photos and we knew he was in great hands. We will definitely be using Reba again in the future!”
“A big thank you to Dustin + fam for taking great care of our Jax! We felt so safe leaving our pup for an overnight with such a welcoming family who provided updates, prompt responses, and great care. Jax came home happy and TIRED and will definitely be back to visit!”
“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!”
“Jordan is a wonderful sitter who takes great care of Nala. I feel completely comfortable each time I drop off Nala to stay with her. I appreciate the consistent updates and flexibility in scheduling.”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“Marie was a life saver to agree to take our aging pug for his first stay with only 24 hours notice. She was kind, flexible, accommodating and understanding. She has young kids who welcomed Napoleon at the car door and were so excited to have a "pudgy puggie" to play with. He LOVED the attention and care. Upon pick up he was packed and ready to go -- super efficient sendoff. It made me feel so much better to leave my much loved dog in their care. I rebooked Marie for another stay as soon as I got home. A++.”
“Jenny and co were all so great to my cat Qaswa 😁 She would provide daily updates with photos and videos of how things were going all day. They're very knowledgeable and understanding on cat's tendencies and did a great job accommodating her along with some other cats who were also staying over the long weekend. I definitely recommend housing your cats with them and I plan to do it again for my next vacation”
“Katie was phenomenal and loved our Taz as if he was her own! We got lots of photos and updates and reassurance that he was adjusting well to his long stay with her. I definitely recommend Katie and will be rebooking!”
“Great experience booking with Francie! She took great care of our 2 dogs on somewhat short notice. You can tell they played and got exercise and were well taken care of during the boarding. Will 100% rebook with her and suggest her to anyone looking.”

“I highly recommend Natalee for house/pet sitting. She watched my home and two cats while I was on vacation. While I was gone, she sent me several photos and videos of the cats. The kitties definitely enjoyed her attention in my absence. The house looked great when I returned. I'll have Natalee back when I travel again.”
“Hope did a wonderful job checking in on my Marca. Sent a bunch of pictures for me and communicated clearly what she did while at my place. Would book again!”
“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”
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!
“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”
“Sophia was super easy to work with and did a great job providing daily updates and taking care of my cat. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Alena was very attentive and thorough watching my cat! She gave me lots of details and pictures in her Rover cards, which I appreciated while I was away from my cat. I would definitely book her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Emma has been absolutely amazing so far! She is taking care of our two Siberian kitties and treating them as if they were her own. She sends us pics and reports. We are in the hospital having our first baby and she had made leaving our kitty babies at home so much easier. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her in the future for any cat care needs!”
“Emily did a super job with my two cats who both need a different pill ground up and mixed in wet food every day. Getting a Rover card each day is such great peace of mind.”
“Maddie took great care of my cat during a week-long sitting. She consistently followed all the instructions and visited on schedule each day, which I really appreciated. I especially liked the thoughtful photo updates from her. She captured a variety of activities, including the ones I care most about, like drinking water and litter box use, which is important since my cat is on a prescription urinary diet. That level of attention was very assuring. I came home to a happy, healthy cat and everything in great shape. I would definitely recommend Maddie and will gladly book her again for future trips.”
“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.”

“So conscientious and caring, we can't say enough about Isa's attentiveness and care. Highly, highly recommended for both locals and travelers. Thank you for taking such good care of Tilda!”
“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.”
“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”
“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”
“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!”
“Hailie and Alex did a wonderful job looking after Yodi during our brief stop in St. Louis! We were a bit worried about how long it would take him to feel comfortable in a new environment, but based on the pictures they sent and how quickly he fell asleep after being picked up, he had an enjoyable and eventful day! Not only was it clear that Hailie truly loves animals, but their dog Evie was playful with Yodi and helped get all his energy out. We definitely recommend if you're looking for a positive experience for your pet!”
“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!”
“Fran has been absolutely amazing with my little guy, Archie!! She is amazingly flexible and has gone out of her way to provide good care for him and to help me with my crazy work schedule! I highly recommend her!!”
“I’m so grateful for Laura and her family. She was incredibly flexible from start to finish, and my dog is completely worn out—in the best way! Laura gave her all the attention I couldn’t, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”
“Nicole and tim sent great pictures in the video. They agreed to help out very last minute. And had an adorable house and yard for josie to hang out in.”
“Sarah was so great! She answered all of my questions I asked before booking, was super responsive and so sweet with Cooper and sent me pictures and video throughout the day so I knew he was doing good.”
“Alex was great to watch my pup lux for the day! Lux is usually shy at first but wasn’t with Alex. Lux seemed well taken care of and had a fun day! Would use Alex again in the future to care for lux!”
“Cooper loved his stay with Karen, as always! We decided to have Cooper go to a sitter very last minute so that we would be freed up for our moving day. Karen was very accommodating and flexible with pick up and drop off. Thanks, Karen! :)”
“Dogs seemed calm and happy when we picked them up. Jordan was super nice, easy communication, and had a calm energy about him that the dogs responded positively too.”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
“Mariah was very nice. She has a large yard for the dogs to run and play. She calmed my nerves when I was worried about my dog being without me for the first time, and Koda seemed to have had a good time when I picked him up! Mariah was also very flexible with my pick up and drop off time and even changed the date of our doggy day care due to travel changes and last minute issues that arose. She was fairly quick to respond to me with any questions.”

About: 20+ yrs caring for dogs & cats in University City 🐾 Reliable, background-checked, and trusted by families. I love seniors, puppies, & everything in between and I always send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe! Hi, I’m Beth! I live in University City and have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds, including senior dogs and pups with special needs, I’m fully background-checked and committed to providing safe, loving, and dependable care. I treat every animal like my own. You can always expect on-time arrival, respectful care in your home, and a photo and update after each visit so you know your pet is happy and safe. As a mom of three, I’m a pro at multitasking, staying calm under pressure, and showing up! I’m currently working around my kids’ school schedules to spend time doing something I truly enjoy — helping other pet parents and spending time with animals. Service Area: University City • Clayton • Maplewood and nearby neighborhoods Rates: Drop-In Visits $17 • Dog Walks $13 • Puppies — $20 per drop-in / $16 per walk 🐾 Intro Treat! Since I’m new to Rover, my walks & drop-ins are currently at “new sitter” pricing — grab a spot while it’s still open! I’d love to meet you and earn your trust (and your pup’s!) — feel free to contact me for a meet and greet anytime! I have morning flexibility Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 8am-12pm. I also have some weekend and evenings open depending on the time. I am open to long or short walks or just drop in visits to feed and check on them! In your home, I will follow your pet's routine that you request — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain their normal schedule and surroundings, especially when you're away. I’m punctual, clean, and respectful of your space, always making sure your pet feels secure and your home is just as you left it.
“I have an older dog with chronic diseases, and Hope has been so great. It is clear she truly cares about her. She has passed on tips from her veterinary ICU experience and has used her own supplies to help her.”
“Sarah was AMAZING. We had a spontaneous day trip the pups couldn’t join, and Sarah fit them in her schedule last minute! She made time to meet them while we were home so we were all more comfortable. My timid baby hid in his bed and almost refused any walks, water, or food. Sarah was patient and knowledgeable, and was able to coerce him out and appropriately rewarded him. Her care, communication, and adorable pictures kept us from worrying about leaving our babies overnight. HIGHLY recommend!”
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.
“Lara is great - she handles my large dog with ease - he can be leash reactive and that requires expertise. And she is consistent and timely and reliable. What else could you ask for?”
“Virginia did a fantastic job with my new puppy Bentley! She came over to meet Bentley before walking him and gave a very detailed summary of everything that took place while walking and playing with him. You can tell that she really loves what she does! I will definitely be contacting Virginia again soon! :)”
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.
About: Hi! My name is Regan, and I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Growing up around animals has taught me how to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Currently I work part-time in Frontenac, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets! Please reach out to me about overnight sittings. I can provide atleast 2 walks a day and as many feedings as needed! I am completely comfortable house sitting and I have my own mode of transportation. I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life so I completely understand both needs. I am capable of walking large dogs such as mastiff’s, German shepherds, or Rottweilers because I have owned all three!
“Laurie was so kind and understanding of my hesitation to let someone else take my dog out of my hands. Olive had a lovely walk, came back nice and tuckered out so that I could continue my work day without worrying about her being bored. We will absolutely be rebooking with Laurie and I’m so glad that this was our first experience with Rover! Can’t recommend enough. ?”
About: I’ve grown up owning both dogs and cats my entire life. I have owned both big and small dogs and more cats than I can count on one hand who have lived long loving lives. Have a lot of experience taking care of senior dogs and cats, have taken care of friends’ older dogs many times. Right now I am a student on break so I have plenty of time to care for pets! My schedule is very flexible so there aren’t too many time restrictions for when I am not available. For dog care I typically prefer to keep the dog in the same room with me as much as possible, unless told otherwise. When taking dogs outside I stay in the same yard, usually to play or just keep them company.
“Alex has walked our dog a couple of times. He is always right on time and takes good care of our dog on the walks. He sends updates and photos. Definitely recommend him to anyone needing walks!”
About: I'm a Rolla native and a current college student at Saint Louis University. I love running and long walks, so if you have a high-energy pup who needs a good run I'm the walker for you! I grew up on a small farm, and because of that I've had a lot of experience with various medical needs, and I know how to give medications orally. I've potty trained and raised several dogs and cats, and I have developed the patience of a saint because of it. I look forward to working with you and your furry family members!
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience with a wide variety of animals, including both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to overnight house sitting. I was a regular sitter on my neighborhood’s babysitting and pet-sitting list for years before moving to St. Louis last year. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure every pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on break from college at USC so I will have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“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.”
“Kati was an amazing dog walker! she was very good with my dog (who is a difficult dog). My dog has significant reactivity towards other dogs on walks and she worked with him with dog treats to help with that. She also brought some of her own dog toys to help me when I first got my dog, and overall had many helpful tips for me! I would highly highly recommend!!”
About: I've grown up with a small dog for the past 14 years, so caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life. I have a special love for small breeds and really enjoy taking them on walks! I'm currently working part-time, so I have lots of free time in the morning during the week to walk dogs! I'm available most mornings 8-noon. I provide a safe, calm home environment where your pup will feel right as ease. We have a fenced-in backyard patio, perfect for small dogs to get some time outside in a secure space.

“Jordan is a wonderful sitter who takes great care of Nala. I feel completely comfortable each time I drop off Nala to stay with her. I appreciate the consistent updates and flexibility in scheduling.”
“Marie was a life saver to agree to take our aging pug for his first stay with only 24 hours notice. She was kind, flexible, accommodating and understanding. She has young kids who welcomed Napoleon at the car door and were so excited to have a "pudgy puggie" to play with. He LOVED the attention and care. Upon pick up he was packed and ready to go -- super efficient sendoff. It made me feel so much better to leave my much loved dog in their care. I rebooked Marie for another stay as soon as I got home. A++.”
“Katie was phenomenal and loved our Taz as if he was her own! We got lots of photos and updates and reassurance that he was adjusting well to his long stay with her. I definitely recommend Katie and will be rebooking!”
“Ben was awesome with our golden retriever! He sent daily pictures and updated us on how out Gus was doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Julia was the absolute best for my dog. Her laid back, calm, and kind personality was a huge hit with my older pup. Julia sent updates and pictures which put my mind at ease. I will definitely use her again. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“Teddy had a wonderful stay with Cait and her family. We got frequent updates and we could tell that he was being spoiled and treated like family. We felt comfortable leaving Teddy with Cait and he is already looking forward to spending more time with Honey again.”
“Raina was great with our fur baby. She sent us updates everyday. Raina was also flexible and understanding of our situation since we were leaving town for an extended period. Thank you so much Raina. I will use her again in the future.”
“Walter was a great host for Charlie over an extended weekend. We got plenty of pics and updates, and Charlie seemed very content. Charlie came home happy and anxiety-free, safe to say he enjoyed his vacation.I would definitely book with Walter again 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.”
“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!!”
