“Kelli did an amazing job with our anxious dog. It was her first time going to a sitter since she lost her big sister. She loved playing in the fenced yard and all the cuddles.”

Cathy P.

“I’m so thankful that I found Lynn & her husband to care for my little doggie while I was out of town. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to meet with me and Latte ahead of his stay. Lynn introduced her sweet doggies, Nellie & Bentley, to him and then spent about an hour letting the pups mingle as we talked about Latte. Lynn was very responsive to communication, she was flexible and kept me updated daily with texts & pictures of Latte. He was treated like a member of their family… well loved & cared for. I will definitely be leaving Latte with Lynn in the future!”

Adrianne M.

“I can't say enough about Sheila. She took on my little Lily dog who not only has Heart Disease and Trachea Collapse Disorder, but also has separation anxiety. Yet she and Dave gave Lil the best of care, with the greatest of patience. I could tell Lily felt loved. I will bring Lily back to Sheila, without reservations. Thank you sooo much for caring for my senior doggie.”

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals from small dogs to large horses and everything in between. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for, feed, bathe, and walk their furry friends. I am a part time college student who will be available most days to care for all of your furry friends in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! In my home my dogs are free range inside the house and outside unless a leash is needed outside. They have a room designated to them that they can't get into anything that might harm them. They have access to water 24/7. In side homes that I have dog sat I follow directions at all times.

About: I am an Ace certified personal trainer. I am a very active person, so I will make sure your pet engages in lots of play time and gets plenty of exercise during their stay. I have a very large fenced in yard which will give your dog lots of space to run and play. I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!

“Madison was great – very communicative, followed all instructions, and Sunny was in great spirits when I returned. My place looked exactly the same as how I left it. I would definitely hire Madison again!”

Pamela S.

“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”

Matt D.

“Barbara did a great job with our senior cat! She understands the seniors very well. I appreciated her questions and checking in each visit! I’d love to invite her back!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for the past 10 years. Previous neighbors have trusted me with pet sitting and walking their dogs. I work from home so I am easily able to give your pets the care they need at all times. My 11-year-old daughter usually joins me-she’s an amazing helper! She loves all animals and they all love her! Pets & parents must be comfortable with her being part of the care team! I have a spacious, fenced-in yard and work from home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care! Our family dog, an 11-year-old German Shepherd, sadly passed away in 2024. While we aren’t ready to welcome a new dog into our lives, I truly miss taking care of a pet. That’s why I see pet-sitting as the perfect way to share my love for animals.

About: Iv been around and taken care of all types and sizes of animals since I was little and always had such a love for them. Im currently looking for some extra work to fill my time until i have full books within my field of business. I also adore all animals and would love to spend my days with them. I have a fur baby at home who I play with and walk all the time, who love to have company over to have someone to play with.

“Julia took excellent care of my furbaby on a holiday! I would highly recommend her!”

About: Hello! I’m Angela. A bit about me: I grew up in South America surrounded by animals. My first German Shepherd, Joe, and my small dog, Lulu, taught me early the importance of love, care, and respect for pets. I saw my parents prepare their food and give them attention, showing me that animals are part of the family and deserve compassion, understanding, and affection. From a young age, I learned that animals act according to their environment and training. I remember a neighbor’s dog jumping toward me once—he only defended himself. Experiences like this taught me patience, empathy, and how to read a pet’s signals to ensure they feel safe and loved. Throughout my life, I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes. These experiences have deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced one-acre backyard where they can run freely, a doggy door for access in and out, full access to the house, and orthopedic beds for resting. I do not use kennels, allowing them to feel at home. The space is kept clean and fresh at all times, with water always available. I provide companionship, exercise, and mental stimulation so pets are happy and healthy while their owners are away. I love pampering animals and preparing healthy treats approved by their owners. I make homemade snacks, including collagen, chicken feet, and beef bones with vegetables, all 100% natural. After my German Shepherd Joe passed away due to a serious illness, I began preparing natural meals combined with dry food for Jack, my current Shepherd. I have seen remarkable improvements in his health, coat, and well-being, ensuring a long, happy, and vibrant life. Animals are never “just pets”; they are family. I put myself fully to provide a safe, loving environment full of attention, play, and care, giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Thank you for visiting my profile, I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to meeting your precious animals! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I provide meals, exercise, and playtime, supervise pets closely, and ensure they feel safe and loved. I also take time each day to explore new ways for pets to enjoy their environment, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. Weekly, I clean living areas, check on health needs, and communicate with pet parents to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and thriving in a secure, caring environment. I provide a safe, loving environment for pets, with a fully fenced one-acre backyard for play. I supervise closely, follow feeding instructions, and use gentle handling. Pets feel happy, secure, and cared for, while I keep owners updated so they trust their furry friends are in good hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 but I have had my own pets since birth. I have had a Pug, Golden Retriever, German shepherd, Great Dane and some mutts. The cats have mostly been strays we have took in but I have also worked with main coons and Savannah cats. I have yet to meet a breed i didn’t love. I also have worked in several places where I take care of bathing, grooming, and nail trims. I can also give meds as I just recently lost a pup who I was giving seizure medication to. So I am prepared if that does happen with your animals as well. I also have a dog who had anxiety who we gave medication to. I’m A stay at home mom currently who is trying to earn some income to save up for Christmas. I am available anytime day or night. I would prefer to watch at your place, but I do have a Leash they can be hooked to as well as a pretty big crate that most dogs can fit into! I do have 2 small children that they would be around if they did stay with me!

About: Hi! My name is Maria! I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a young girl. I have previously volunteered for an animal rescue, and have previously worked for a kennel and groomer. Caring for animals is just a part of who I am. I am comfortable working with any size/breed of dog. While I don't have much time on here on Rover, I have been pet sitting for well over 10 years for friends and family. I am a stay at home mom so I am able to provide around the clock care for your pet. I am extremely flexible on scheduling for this reason. Pets in my care will be treated with the same care and treatment that I give my own dog. They will be loved, looked after, and kept safe. I do ask that pets are comfortable sleeping in a crate/kennel at night.

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.

About: My friends tell me that I am an animal whisperer haha! I love the company of an animal and giving it all of my love! I used to have a dog of my own, we were best friends, but unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I’m not at the best spot in my life to have my own pet again so I wanted to find a way to still love on animals and have their presence! I currently have a full time job in St. Louis. I am available to WFH if I need to watch your pet(s) during the week!! More than happy to do so :) We have a very large yard/field behind my home but it is not fenced. I will be sure to have your puppy on a leash if need be!!! We also live in a neighborhood, off of the main road in town. I am also available to watch them in STL as I have family that live there!

About: I love dogs! All dogs... big, small, smelly, playful. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as other's. Dogs generally love me as well. I learned most of what I know about caring for dogs from The Dog Whisperer. He really knows his stuff! Does your dog need walks and some extra training? I can handle that no problem and really enjoy seeing a dog respond to training and play. I use positive reinforcement while working with dogs. I love walking for fitness and love it even more when I have a pup to join me. While pet sitting, I can also care for plants, etc. I enjoy gardening so if you have a garden and require house/pet sitting, consider me your person! My schedule is very flexible. I currently work gig jobs and freelance, remote accounting projects. If I am house/pet sitting for you I can accommodate whatever schedule your animals usually follow. I will follow whatever rules/instructions are laid out for me. Safety is number 1 and I am sure to keep owners updated on any issues promptly.

“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”

About: When I was young I started dog sitting my neighbors, families and friends dog and I’ve love it since then. Dogs are my spirit animals and they deserve the world! I work in a hospital and have a part time job. After 3-4pm I can definitely hangout with your pups. Whether for a walk or go to the park. Provide a balanced and appropriate diet for the pet based on its species, age, and health requirements. Avoid overfeeding. Always ensure access to fresh, clean water for your pet. Regularly check and refill the water bowl to keep your pet hydrated. Engage your pet in regular physical activity suitable for its species. This could include walks, playtime, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and active. Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Regular grooming such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and dental care are essential for their health and well-being. Spend quality time with your pet, provide enrichment activities, and consider socializing them with other animals if appropriate. Maintain a clean living environment for your pet. Regularly clean their living space, wash bedding, and remove waste promptly to prevent odors and maintain hygiene. Make sure home is pet-proofed to prevent accidents or ingestion of harmful substances. Keep dangerous items out of reach and provide a safe space for your pet to rest and play.
