About: Hello, I'm Angela and I have been a dog and animal lover my whole life. I have watched dogs for family and neighbors for many years. My background is in psychology and I've definitely used that knowledge in understanding my own dogs and those I take care of. I'm currently undergoing a career change, so I have plenty of time on both weekdays and weekends to watch and play with your furry family members. I try to keep my availability as up-to-date as possible within the limited settings Rover has. I am adaptable to any routine that your pet is used to, such as feeding times and walks. I am familiar with rescues and the variability in their behavior and comfort with new people.
“Madison is super responsive and sends lots of pictures and videos which brightens my day! My puppy is so happy to spend time with her and we will use her frequently going forward.”
About: Hi! I’m Keirra, a reliable and energetic pet sitter based in Creve Coeur, Missouri, with experience caring for Pugs, Cavapoos, Shih Tzus, Miniature Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and more. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR Certified and committed to providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care while following your pet’s routine and treating them like family. I work from home most days, giving me flexible weekday and weekend availability. I also provide frequent photo updates and quick communication so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands. If you’re looking for someone dependable, responsive, safety-focused, and full of positive energy, I’d love to care for your furry family member! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just some extra companionship, I'm able to adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In my client's home, I strive to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I always treat my clients' homes with the utmost respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

I give them plenty of love, attention, and care while following their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I also have a peanut allergy, so any treats provided must be peanut-free. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: I have always loved dogs, and I had a lot of experience helping with dogs that belonged to my other family members or friends growing up. I have added dogs to the family as an adult and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, and caring for them. I have a bichon-freise and shitzu (teddybear mix) dog as part of our family currently. I have two daughters who adore dogs. I am just now beginning this journey on Rover though I have lots of experience working with dogs and caring for others' pups. I am currently working part time from home, so I have time to play and care for your pup. I can take your dog out first thing in the morning, a couple of times during the day, and before bedtime. I walk my own dog three to four times daily and sometimes take him to one of the two fenced in pet parks in my apartment building. Your dog can join us for whatever seems appropriate to you.

I will be solely be responsible for walking and taking care of your pets I’m currently unemployed and will be working part-time later in the fall, but I have lots of availability to pop in and take your fur baby for a walk or please let them out and give them company if it’s too hot or cold outside to walk I walk my dogs on leashes several times a day I do not have a fenced in yard so they are always on leash when they go outside I would prefer to walk your dog on a leash or if you have a fenced in yard can also let them out in the yard that is fenced
About: I have been caring for dogs most of my life and I’d like to bring that joy to my family too. I only take 1 extra dog at a time (or two if they are pet siblings). I work from home so your furry friend will hang out with me and Molly (our dog) most of the day. They will get to go play in our fenced back yard at will. I take walks during the day too to get some fresh air and the dogs can have some new smells. ***Crate trained dogs only. This is for when I’m away, but I’m home most of the day. *** I work from home and my dog hangs out with me all day - and so can yours! We’d love to have another friend to play with. We have a fenced yard and we like to take walks in the neighborhood. We have many walking paths and parks nearby to explore with our new furry friends.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kiffin. She is kind, dependable, and truly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment she met Leo, it was clear that she cared for him as if he were her own. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional but also genuinely loves dogs, I highly recommend her. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our sweet boy!
I got sick and needed a walker fast. First time using Rover and I don’t think I could have had a better experience. Haley communicated her availability and regular updates, followed instructions and also didn’t force me to strain myself at all. She introduced herself to Iroh and made sure he was comfortable. 10/10, 5 star experience, would recommend, round of applause, gratuity the works for Haley.
Emily was such a godsend during my pup’s final days. I had an 11 year old tripod pittie named Brody who had trouble walking. Emily would spend whatever time was left after these short walks to sit with Brody and shower him with love and attention. I’d recommend Emily to anyone looking for a kind, patient and trustworthy dog walker

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Westwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
