“This is our second time relying on Stephen to take care of our kitty and we couldn’t be more satisfied! He does a fantastic job, sends detailed check-ins and photos, and best of all, our cat adores him. It’s such a relief to enjoy our travels knowing she is in such great hands.”


“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”


“William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.”


“Risa answered my booking at the last minute and was so understanding and accomodating to the requests I had. She ensured my pup was taken care of to the best extent, kept me well informed, and went above and beyond. Definitely recommend her services and would for sure book her again!”


“Sophia is an outstanding sitter. I left her a few pages of instructions and she was very diligent with following them and going the extra mile. There were some things she did without me asking and that goes a long way. I am usually stressed about my cats when I leave but I didn’t feel any stress at all with her watching them. She provided a lot of pictures and made an effort to befriend the cats too. I will use her again in the future if needed. Thank you thank you!”


“Chris is fantastic with my doggie baby girls! She is responsive, flexible and goes above and beyond to make me, their mom, feel that my dogs are being well taken care of. That is a big deal! Chris respects my home and even cleans up the dog toys when she leaves. We are fortunate to have found her! THANK YOU Chris!”


“Maria is amazing! She took plenty of pictures and kept detailed updates so I felt comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. She followed all directions and was incredibly diligent during our meeting to make sure everything was clear.”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and owner living in Maplewood, MO, with my friendly 5 yr old Aussie, Porter. While I'm newer to pet sitting on Rover, I've cared for dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience watching the pups of friends and family. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cuddles, in here to ensure your furry friend feels happy and cared for while you're away! I'm available on the weekends and work from home Mondays and Fridays, giving your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks and daily walks. I'm open to Tues-Thurs care as well, but the pup would have to be okay in a crate or out for 8 hours while I'm at work for the day. I have a fenced in yard for the pup to play, potty and get exercise in. I have a 5 year old aussie who is super friendly and would love the company of another dog! While I'll be home most of the time with your pup, when I step out of the house I'm happy to kennel them or leave them out, whatever makes you and the pup feel the most comfortable!

“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”


“Cecille was very responsive, professional, and made time to meet our pup before watching him. She provided a detailed update with photos, and took good care of him!”


“Margaret has watched my dog Steve 3 times now and Steve just loves her! It makes me feel so much better going to work knowing that she’s gonna go love on him! I highly recommend her!”


About: Are you looking for help walking your dog or checking in on them while you are away at work on vacation? Let me help you! I love all animals and breeds. I am gentle, attentive, and fun! I have owned dogs and cats all my life and I am very comfortable with them. I will pay attention to your pets body language to make sure that they are comfortable and happy. I will follow your instructions for your pet closely. I have shadowing and volunteering experience with veterinarians and animal shelters. Are you unsure? We can find a time for you, your pet, and myself to meetup and see if we are a good fit. Need more immediate service? That is okay too! Let’s see if we can work together! I am a student and employed part time. I am mostly interested in walking and drop ins. I am upfront about my availability and let you know when I can or cannot do a service. I am extremely friendly to all pets. I am also very active which makes me a great companion for a walk (your dogs favorite word). I am respectful to peoples homes and any more instructions that you have more me are appreciated.

“Our dogs love Abby! I’m so grateful that Abby could watch our three dogs over MLK weekend. She sent us a ton of pictures and kept us updated frequently. I felt bad that one of our puppy had accidents but Abby was very kind and patient. Hope Abby will watch them again 😅 THANK YOU!”


“Kylie was absolutely amazing! This is the second time she has come to take care of George while we were away, and once again, she went above and beyond. George adores her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about him. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, walked, and loved, but she also took the time to take out our trash and even brought packages into the house. Coming home to a happy cat and a tidy space was such a relief, and knowing George was in such capable, caring hands made our trip stress-free. Thank you, Kylie! 🐾❤️”


“Jessica did daily drop-in visits while we were on vacation for 9 days. She took great care of our kitties, gave us updates and photos, and they warmed up to her quickly. Would highly recommend.”


“Laura is amazing!!! She's always so understanding and willing to work with me when it comes to my pup, any concerns or current things we're working on alongside keeping in the know of what she notices. It's nice to know the person watching your pet takes care of them as if they're their own, so I'd recommend her if you're looking for someone to love your pup!!!!”


About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, from family pets to neighbor pets while they are away. I have fed, walked, and played with their furry friends whenever they needed it. My work schedule is very flexible, so I can make pet caring work virtually at any time of the day, but most easily in the early morning or later afternoon. I am usually available any time in the weekend and holidays as well! I follow your instructions carefully to keep routines consistent, whether that's feeding, playtime, potty break, litter cleaning, or snuggles. I send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Wydown-Skinker pet parents share their Rover experiences
We love Laura and our cat, Cleo, does too! We were away for 9 days, and Cleo seemed super happy and healthy with Laura! She cared about Cleo as if she were her own cat, and I am glad we booked her! We will definitely rebook her next time we are away. We also love all the photos and rover cards she sent! Laura is super thoughtful too, and she seems very experienced with hosting and handling cats.

Jessica was fantastic! She was very responsive and took excellent care of my cat while we were away. She followed all of the care instructions closely and handled my temperamental girl with patience and confidence. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her hands. Highly recommend!
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.

William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.

This was Emily’s first time with our Luna. So, she was kind enough to have a meet and great to get the lay of the land. I really liked meeting Emily first. Emily came and kept me in the loop with how things were going. Our cat can be shy and may take a bit to feel comfortable. Emily gave a little info most days. Emily was also very easy to contact if needed. After coming home… we found our home to be on the same clean place as we left it. That is also important to me. We really would be happy to have Emily come back to see our cat again and again.
