“This is our first time using Rover; we were a bit anxious about having a stranger come into our home and take care of our kitties, however Raquel “Rockey” did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties while we were away; one kitty is elderly, blind, history of a stroke and takes twice a day medication for high blood pressure (oral- one liquid, one tablet), one is a fearful. Rockey’s twice daily “report card,” on the rover app, kept us updated. We will definitely use again. Thank you, Rockey!”
“This was our second time using them to watch our animals, they just watched our cats this time & they did a great job! They regularly kept us up to date with pictures & took the time to give them some lovings & play time on top of keeping the litter boxes clean & feeding them. They're definitely one of our regulars now that we'll always trust with our babies!”
About: I got my first dog in middle school and my own puppy in 2019 which have been well taken care of if not a little spoiled. I did a puppy sitting job for a short while in 2024 and loved it so much. I'm available most days of the week for overnight visits if necessary. I'm not very busy so I'm usually open all day to play with your pups. I will stay within the provided boundaries and keep your dogs safe at home. I will be sure to keep them in sight at all times to keep them safe. Of course any accidents can be cleaned up as well.
“This is the second time we’ve used Nora. We have three dogs, so it’s quite a bit of juggling! We totally appreciate all the help she has done with feeding, letting out, and pills. We will use her again!”
“Jim has been a pleasure to work with! He’s been very responsive, flexible with our schedules, and has taken great care of our dogs!! We look forward to more visit from him!”
About: I have had a pet throughout my whole life. I went to Veterinary Technician school and have worked with animals since! I also have a bachelors in Animal Science so I have some experience with larger pets as well! I currently do work a full time job, but I am looking to reconnect with animals in any way I can! I provide wonderful care and spend quality time with your pet whether it's a simple potty break or a weekend watch! I spend time with them outside of what I am there for! I do my best to learn the house rules and what the pet knows is ok and what isn't ok to do. Everyone is unique and each pet has their own type of training. I can work with all!
“We were so happy that we chose Sally to watch our cat. She is excellent beyond our expectations. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter; you can be assured that you pet will be loved and well cared for.”
“Mia did a great job with our little one with the drop in visits :) she spent some time with her as well which is nice since we booked it for every other day while we were gone. Overall, I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: I have grown up in house full of pets my entire life, and am known within my family as an animal lover, I’m the one everyone calls when they need someone to watch their pets cause I love being around them and spending time with them. I can’t wait to meet and love your pets!! I am currently a student at Kirkwood community college, my schedule is pretty flexible but early mornings and mid to late afternoon works the best in my schedule I currently live in an apartment close to the Kirkwood campus, me and my three roommates don’t have any pets, but we live in a Great walking location
About: I have dog sat for friends, family members and coworkers for many years! I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. Love them all! I have a fairly flexible job so most days can get away mid day to let out animals. With enough notice I can do overnight stays as well. I would feel most comfortable caring for your pet in a familiar environment to them. That way they are most comfortable and don’t have to adapt to a new person and a new environment simultaneously!
About: I've always been passionate about dogs and can hardly remember a time when I didn't have one of these amazing, loyal companions by my side. I've been dog sitting for friends and family members for the past five years, and I've enjoyed it so much that I've decided to branch out so I can meet even more fur friends. I also do dog training/owner coaching, and I believe it's never too late to teach a dog new tricks. I work part time, and most of my work is done at home, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with my fur friends. I have a huge back yard with a 6 ft privacy fence for ample room to run and play and even a doggie pool to splash around in to stay cool. My house is a couple blocks down from the trail for my fur friends who love to go for walks to get some of that extra energy out.
About: With lots of pets in the family, im proud to be the go-to sitter! I specialize in chihuahuas of all ages and disabled pets (amputees, deaf or blind), and I love the opportunity to care for unique or mixed breeds. I have experience training puppies and midlife dogs, and have owned and cared for senior pooches. No teeth? No problem! My off days leave me bored and the best way to remedy that is to play with some sweet critters. My Sunday morning workouts could use a running buddy! While we don't have a private yard, there is still lots of grassy areas and a larger field just a short walk from my apartment. My small rodents have made it a necessity to pet proof our home, meaning there's no worry of your furry friend getting into something they shouldn't. I'm always good to clean up accidents when they do happen and I'm very careful to adhere to special diets (the more detailed the better).

Noah S.
“Our family had the opportunity to have Noah provide our 3 cats with care while we were out of town over several days. He was prompt and visited when he was scheduled to be there, taking care of the pets with food and water. In addition, he made sure that each pet was checked in on and those that wanted some loving got it. Those that wanted to hide were allowed to do so, but he did physically ensure that all pets were in a good place and he let us know that. This helped my family have a better short trip knowing our pets were well taken care of.”

Room to roam outback to burn off energy. They sleep allot once they’re home. My wife and I traveled frequently when in Iowa and when we travel back home. This is there home away from home. We highly recommend Anne. So do our two dogs.”
Pine R.
“Pine is absolutely amazing with animals! She helped around my sweet grandmother's Household when she had to leave the country temporarily. She kept things tidy while she was gone and above all else was sweet and respectful of her shy dogs. My grandparents dogs are the smallest chihuahuas ever and can be a little skiddish when meeting new people, but Pine was there for them and gave them their medications every day and let them out on a timely basis. If you're looking for a pet sitter, look no further! Pine is perfect for your every need!”
