Highly-rated overnight sitters - Valley Park
“Misty and her family are the best! We used to live just down the road, but even though we live 30 minutes away now, I will never send the pups anywhere else! My dogs love Misty and her family, and I always know they’re in good hands!”
“We have left our almost 15 year old poodle, Peaches, with Carly and Doug several times. Most recently, we left her there while we were traveling out of the country for 9 days. Everything went great!! They treat Peaches just like family! We are very comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely be contacting them again for future visits!!”
“Once again, Lorri took excellent care of our girl. We were gone 2 weeks & received a text and photo every day reassuring us that all was good back home. We will definitely call on Lorri again! Thank you Lorri!”
“Our dog Winnie had a great time with Dawn! She was very happy when we picked her up! Dawn sent photos of Winnie while we were away and she looked like she was enjoying herself! I would highly recommend Dawn and plan on using her services again when we take our summer vacation!”
“Jeanne came through for us on short notice and was able to keep our dog for four days. This was our second time using her and she was fantastic again. We will use her again for our august trip.”
“Amazing cat sitter! Qiyun/Kiki was so accommodating when we had to book our cat Lucy on very short notice. She took great care of her, sending regular pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would rate her 100 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely have your kitty stay here!”
“Many thanks to Erica for her good work. She even dropped my dog off at our regular dog sitter. Erica provided coverage while our regular sitter who was out of town. I had to have surgery during this time and Erica really made things go smoothly.”
“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.”
“Sandrine did a great job taking care of my dog Stanley! Whether staying at home or going out for a walk, Stanley enjoyed his stay. I was happy to see him back not only safe and sound, but happy and energetic! Thank you Sandrine!”
“They were an awesome host and Ke'o had so much fun with them while my wife and I were of vacation for two weeks. From the regular updates that they've sent us made us wonder if Ke'o would decide that he doesn't want to come home to us! 🤣 Thank you so much and you guys did a great job taking care of him. Highly recommend and will rebook them in the future.”
“Five stars! This was our first time leaving the dogs with someone in Rover. I was very nervous. The dogs loved Sherry and we will use her again in the future. She sends pictures with updates. Sherry is kind and understanding. Our little senior chihuahua has a lot of trust issues and doesn’t care for people, but he enjoyed Sherry’s company. Thank you Sherry for keeping our kiddos safe and happy!”
About: I’ve watched dogs for several of my friends and family in the past and have decided to take my care pet scratches to others in need. I’m currently a personal trainer. So I’ll have afternoons to come home and let the pups out. And I’m there for several hours at a time. I like to walk so they will get exercise in. I have a fenced in back yard. So the dogs will have plenty of space to run and play. They have a pond to drink from.

“Nancy and Paul were delightful. They took great care of our four cats, gave them lots of love and attention, and sent us photos and thorough reports each visit. We would absolutely book them again!”
“Beth did a phenomenal job caring for our cat while we were out of town. She was excellent with communication, and I could tell from her many pictures that our cat felt so comfortable around her. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Five stars!”
“Alycia was absolutely outstanding with our cat, Piper, while we were out of town! She went above and beyond during every visit, sending us detailed updates and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. Piper can be a little shy at times, but she warmed up to Alycia right away, which says a lot. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless home. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking Alycia again. Highly recommend!”
“Cynthia did another great job checking in on Misty! Communicates frequently and sent us updates and pictures with each visit! Have had Cynthia care for Misty before and will again!”
“Amazing cat sitter! Qiyun/Kiki was so accommodating when we had to book our cat Lucy on very short notice. She took great care of her, sending regular pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would rate her 100 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely have your kitty stay here!”
“I have a senior cat with some health issues requiring medications, so it was a relief to find Brooklyn with her experience in administering medications, and understanding my cat's symptoms and her care. She sent a great update, including pictures from her visit. I really appreciate her support on short notice. Would book again! Thank you, Brooklyn!”
“Danny was perfect. He was very communicative-texted with us during/after every visit, shared lots of photos of our kitty, asked questions when he had them, fed her and stayed to give her some love too, and was flexible when I asked him to come a little later on the last day. Highly recommend!”
“Our normal sitter had a family emergency right before the holidays, and we are so thankful we found Kate in time for our kitties! Two of them need daily medications, and we have had hit or miss luck with different sitters (not from Rover) in the past, but all the cats loved her (even the one that normally hides!) and they all seem to be very relaxed and not panicked when we got home this time! We will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends in the area!”
“I am always impressed with Barb's care for my 2 cats. She finds out their preferences and caters to them. She spends time both helping them feel comfortable with her for affection and plenty of play time. She is observant of behaviors and communicated each visit with many photos and updates. Plus, she is a pleasure to work with herself!”
“Rachelle is awesome! She did a fantastic job taking care of my nervous little cat for a few days when I was out of town, coming over 3 times a day. Besides doing everything like feeding, changing water, etc., she sent detailed updates after each visit. These particularly helped set my mind at ease and I was better able to enjoy my trip. I really got the impression that she truly cared and I 100% recommended Rachelle!”
About: We didn't have a cat growing up but I was always well beloved by friends' cats and neighborhood strays. In 2021, I adopted my first cat — Sapphira, a senior surrender — as a cure for college quarantine loneliness. Over the next four years, I nursed her thru diabetes, organ failure, partial spinal paralysis, UTIs, and incontinence before she passed August 2025. I'd do it all over again if I could. Safe to say, I really love taking care of cats and there's no issue to gross or unique I can't handle. 💪🏽🤩
About: I’m a cat mom myself, so I know cats tend to have their own routines, personalities, and boundaries. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and of course giving them attention when they want it (and space when they don’t!). I’ll care for your cat the same way I’d want someone to care for my baby.
“Blanca was an amazing caregiver to our two dogs while we were in Hawaii. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of them playing, chasing the ball, enjoying pets and scratches. We would definitely recommend Blanca and will 100% use her in the future!”
About: I'm a cat sitter who really spends tons of time PLAYING with cats! My husband and I adopted our orange cat Jonesy, then a 1-year-old, from PETSMART, in Sep 2024. He's currently a little over 2 years old, super healthy, super active. If you're familiar with orange cats, you know how much energy they have. No matter how tired I am, I always make sure that our Jonesy gets at least 30 minutes' play every single day (this can often develop into a 1-hour play or even more). I'm more than happy to care for quieter cats, of course, but if your cat is super active, I'm your girl!
“Susan was great she was very accommodating with my last minute request. She was very communicative & responded quickly. My BoBo is pretty shy around new people but he seemed to relax & feel comfortable. I liked the fact that she only sits for one pet at a time also.she let him have free roam of the house. Thank Susan for taking good care of my boy & having to put up with venting during a bad time. Will be happy for you to sit again when needed. Thank you Stacie N”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Valley Park
“Jeanne is amazing! I have been bringing Jett to her for a few weeks now and she is so good with him. Not only does she genuinely care about him, she provides regular updates throughout the day and I can see how much fun he is having in her care. He has even developed social skills and is learning new things under her care. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend Jeanne to anyone who needs someone they can trust to take good care of their best friend.”
“I cannot recommend Bhairavi highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure Oakley felt comfortable, happy, and cared for. I received regular updates with adorable photos and thoughtful notes, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly well-loved! It’s rare to find someone so responsible, kind, and attentive. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Bhairavi is the one. Bhairavi and Gary have a beautiful home and you will not find anyone better to love and care for your dog!! I will definitely be booking again!”
“Lorri took such great care of Charlotte and kept us updated through the day. We so appreciate your loving care & look forward to Charlotte’s next stay with you! Thank you so much!!”
About: Charismatic and outgoing animal lover with 16 years experience owning pets, and hundreds of hours volunteering at the humane society in 3 different states. I grew up with cats, but could not own a dog until I moved out on my own, so I quickly got my first baby Alice the first chance I could. My fur babies include a 13 year old sweet beagle mix, Alice 🌈 and two gentle loving cats, Poppy and Millie. All of my animals have been around other animals their whole lives and get along with all creatures. I prefer not to board cats, but can keep your cat in a closed bedroom for their stay. I would love to open my doors to help out families in need of a more personal way to board their pets when they are away. Your animals must get along with cats and small children. I have a very flexible schedule so I have the ability to care for your pet throughout the day, depending on your pets individuals needs. My pets have free range of the house. Visitors dogs can be crated if needed or have free range of the house if ok left unsupervised.
“Holly is so kind and caring! My dog loves going to her house. She watched him for me while I am at work. I really appreciate her flexibility with my schedule since it changed every week. She send photos of my dog throughout the day to keep me updated. Super happy I found her and will continue to use her to watch my dog.”

We get up around 6AM in the morning and stay up until about 10PM. We’d love to get steps in by taking your pet for a walk! Carl also often stops home throughout the day. Wehave a screened in back deck and also a fenced in area below that is shaded. Your pet can find the perfect place to relax and enjoy, weather pending!
“Sarah was outstanding! We were visiting from West Virginia and needed a sitter for our 2 dogs so we could spend the day in St Louis visiting the Arch and going to a Cardinals game. Sarah was the perfect sitter for us. She communicated everything to us and gave us pictures and updates. Her house clean and comfortable for the dogs and a great yard for them to play in. Her dog was friendly towards our dogs especially our little dog. I loved the detailed report she gave us after picking them up. If I am ever visiting St Louis again I would definitely use her again.”
“Alvin loves going to Beth’s every day! He is so in tune with morning routine of getting ready and out the door! He’s ready to go before I can get a cup of coffee. He loves being with the friends he’s made and all of the great exercise he gets! Thanks to her family for loving our Alvin!”
“Jeanne has been amazing! Super flexible with my schedule and Winnie loves her! Winnie gets lots of love and play time, and plenty of potty breaks. Jeanne is always quick to reply when I text too. Highly recommend her!”
“Angel was so great to work with! She was very communicative and she and her family took great care of our pup. She came home exhausted from a long day of play. Angel made sure to send plenty of pictures throughout the day as well! Thank you, Angel for the great care and peace of mind! ❤️”
About: I have had animals my entire life, dogs, cats, gerbils, ferrets, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish. I just love having animals and taking care of them. My job is flexible and I work from home most of the time so I can keep animals during the day and overnight. I will be able to take them on walks during the day. I can care for pets in my own home or come to your home to take care of them as needed. My back yard is huge and lots of room for dogs to run.
“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”
“Raven had a wonderful stay with Greg and Jane. This is a perfect situation for her as she is nervous around other dogs but is comfortable around people. Greg had a sharp eye to get her out for walks duriing the period and in general provided for a tranquil stay. She was in a great mood when I picked her up and Greg had walked her just before my arrival so that she had already gone potty before I came. I'm thrilled with Greg and Jane's attentive care and will try to see if they are willing to care for her in the future. Thank you!”

“Ursula was fantastic. She communicated very well with us during Marley's stay at her home. We really appreciated her care for our little dog when we were in Tucson for a brief stay.”
“Reema was amazing! Her pup and mine played so well together, it was the perfect play date! She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would trust Reema to watch our girl again in a heartbeat ☺️”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs, my own dogs since I was 10 years old. We’ve always had a dog in our home. Up to getting my own puppies and training them. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kiddos and we’re home a lot. We love to be outdoors and playing outside. We’d have no problem letting your dog out or playing with them.

She’s reliable and efficient, with great communication through the Rover app. I highly recommend Amber!”

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped train my family’s dogs in the past so if there are any reinforcements or cues necessary on walks I’m more than capable of helping to keep a routine! I’m currently full time graduate student, but I have some free afternoons with plenty of time to walk your pets! I am also flexible to do drop ins for potty breaks and evening feedings. I do not have any pets but I can help care for your pet with walks! If there are specific needs your dog requires such as to be crated after walks I am more than willing to follow any directions for making sure your pet is safe and comfortable!

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. My sweet Charlie passed in 2024 and to fill the void, I am now taking care of other people's pets.

About: I love all dogs and cats! I have always grown up with dogs and cats in my home. We had a Great Dane, Huskeys, Akita, and Samoyed while growing up. I had 1 black lab, with my family, but he passed away recently. We had him for 12 years and he was our love!! He was my hiking partner and my shadow/big protector at all times! I know it is hard to work and travel with pets. That is why I want to join Rover to be around your fur babies and be able to help your family, plus earn extra income for my family!! I will take care of them when you are not able!! Your pet will feel loved and safe with me!! During the school year, I am a teacher with Special School District. My hours are 8:30 AM to 4 PM. Depending on where you live, I can let your babies out for a potty break on my lunch break. During the summer, I do not have a full-time job and will be able to stay with them and keep them entertained and loved! I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I can take up to 1 small dog in my home and I do have a small dog park as well. I usually come stay in my clients homes though, to keep the pets comfortable in their own environment.

If you would like me to come stay at your home, I will need to bring my dog along with me so a meet ‘n greet is essential. He’s a sweet boy and gets along well with other dogs. I am familiar with plenty of places to walk and there are so many nearby parks for them to explore! Long or short walk, I love them all!

About: Ive been an emergency vet tech and helping hand for 6+ years. Ive had animals my entire life & adore them so much I made a living off keeping them safe & healthy. Your loved ones will be loved in my home & heart. I work long hours but that means I have more days off to help you out. 3 days out if the week i have off & can accommodate your oets here in my home or stop by your house for potty breaks/walks.

About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds and a Belgian Malinois, so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.
