Question 1

What's the main difference between 4-Legged Kids and Rover for St. Louis pet owners?

Accepted Answer

Rover is a marketplace that connects pet owners with independent contractors. 4-Legged Kids is a professional pet care company that employs its team directly. That means our staff are trained to our standards, covered under our liability, and accountable to us — not just to their own ratings. We also back every service with a guarantee, something a gig-economy platform structurally cannot offer.

Question 2

How long has 4-Legged Kids been serving the St. Louis area?

Accepted Answer

4-Legged Kids has been in business since 1996 — nearly 30 years of serving pets and their families across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and St. Charles County. That kind of longevity isn't accidental. It comes from consistent, professional care and the trust of the community we've grown up alongside.

Question 3

Does 4-Legged Kids offer pet sitting for cats, or just dog services?

Accepted Answer

4-Legged Kids cares for cats, dogs, and the full spectrum of household pets. Our in-home pet sitting is especially popular with cat families across neighborhoods like Tower Grove, Clayton, and Kirkwood who want their pets cared for in their own environment without the stress of travel or boarding. We provide detailed updates and photos after every visit, so you always know how your animals are doing.

Question 4

What areas of St. Louis does 4-Legged Kids cover?

Accepted Answer

4-Legged Kids serves most of St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and St. Charles County — including Central West End, Tower Grove, Clayton, Kirkwood, Creve Coeur, Chesterfield, Wildwood, O'Fallon, and many surrounding communities. Because we operate with one of the largest professional pet care teams in the area, we have the staffing depth to serve a wide geographic range reliably.

Question 5

What services does 4-Legged Kids offer beyond dog walking?

Accepted Answer

4-Legged Kids offers dog walking, in-home pet sitting, boarding, and dog training — all provided by our employed, professional team. Whether you need daily midday walks in Chesterfield, in-home sitting while you travel from Wildwood, or dog training support in O'Fallon, we have a service for it. And with every service we provide, we donate a meal to a local pet rescue.
