“I cant say enough how amazing Eleanore was with my cats. She is very observant and noticed the water bowl wasn’t working. She immediately texted and did a video call so I could see the problem. She played with our babies and loved on them. I was so nervous leaving, but I was pleasantly calmed when i saw the first interaction of Eleanor and my cats. Your babies will love her.”
“Katie was amazing. My kitkats felt comfortable enough to come out and interact with her, including the newest and shyest kitties. She also helped keep their days enriched by reorganizing their toys and changing their cat tv. Thank you Katie!”
“Was very communicative, left great notes, and sent great pics. I felt very comfortable while away and knew my pets were under great care. Easy to work with and would definitely hire again.”
About: Hi there! I’m a full-time mom with a big heart for animals — and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. Whether you need help with daily walks, feedings, medication, or just some loving company for your furry friend while you're away, I provide dependable, compassionate care you can trust. I've raised both dogs and cats from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets with special needs, and I understand how important it is to have someone responsible and attentive looking after your beloved companions. ✨ Hard-working ✨ Trustworthy ✨ Flexible scheduling ✨ Experienced with medications and special care needs Let’s chat about how I can help you and your pet! As a full-time mom, my daily routine is built around care, attention, and responsibility — the same values I bring to pet care. I'm home throughout the day and evening, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet visits, feedings, medications, playtime, or just some quiet company whenever your pet needs it. My calm, structured home life allows me to give your pet consistent, loving care while still being available for early morning, mid-day, or nighttime visits. Pet care isn’t just a side job — it’s something that fits naturally into my life and brings me joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your home and pets are in trustworthy hands. I follow your specific instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or just the little habits that make your pet feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority — I double-check doors and gates, clean up after pets properly, and keep an eye out for anything unusual in your pet’s behavior or environment. I’ll gladly send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. My goal is to give your pet loving, consistent care and give you total peace of mind.
About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.
“Evangeline took wonderful care of my 2 cats one of which has a daily medication. She was also very responsive and flexible with timing as we had to come home early due to weather.”
About: I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies! I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.
“We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!”
“Maddy was so amazing! She sent multiple updates a day with pictures, and our kitten was clearly incredibly well taken care of and happy. She left our place clean and just like we left it. We’d absolutely book with her again. Thank you again :)”
“Samantha was very communicative about what my boys were up to while I was away. She also was able to fit me into her schedule on a late notice. This was the first time I left my cats at home and didn't have my mom watch them with an asthmatic cat and I was not worried at all. She's the best!”
About: I’ve have had pets since I was a kid which created my love for animals and have had my own personal pets for 20 years (5 dogs, 3 cats over the years). I have also become a foster pet parent for the last year( 2 different fosters). My love for animals encouraged me to start a career as pet groomer for 8 years which gave me a lot of hands on professional experience. I can read dog and cat body language and health needs incredibly well. I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for pets. I work great with all personalities and can tell when they are shy, excited, fearful, happy etc. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs. I have a lot of senior dog experience. Unfortunately due to carpal tunnel I had to pick a new path which lead to Real Estate and boy do I MISS MY ANIMAL CLIENTS. Currently I work from home 80% of the time and would love to once again have some fur baby clients. Working from home will give me a lot of time to spend with your baby. I am the go to person when my friends and family need their pets to be taken care of. I go the extra mile when it comes to making them happy. I treat every animal like they are my own. I work from home 80% of the time. This gives me much availability and flexibility to look after your fur babies. I am available 7 days a week. I have a lot of hands-on experience working with pets. I make sure they receive the care they need whether it is a long walk, some playtime in the home, or even just a snuggle session I’ll be there. I love to learn all about their quirks and make sure those are taken into account for each pet. I do specialize in working with fearful or anxious dogs and cats. I am very patient and have owned several pets that need extra time and patience.
About: Hi! My name is Angela and I have had cats and dogs my entire life. I adore them all! I have taken care of my family and neighbor's pets over the years and I would like to use my experience to help you when you are in need. I am a certified fitness instructor and personal trainer in the morning but I am available to take care of your fur babies between 11am-7pm. In the later evenings, I will be with my family and pets. If you need someone dependable during the week, I’m your person. I’d love to meet your pet and learn their routine. Hi! I work part-time as a fitness instructor and personal trainer so I have time in my shedule to take care of your pets midday. I have a fenced in yard for my 11 year old dog and a 6 year old cat. My dog likes short walks and my kitty likes cuddles. They are part of our family!
About: I have experience in walking dogs, and house sitting. I have stayed with cats as well. I used to be a doggy daycare attendant! My responsibilities included: feeding animals on a regular schedule, walking them on a schedule, giving them medication, and giving them play time and attention. As an animal lover I know that pets need more than just food and water. They need love and affection too! Count on me to give it my all to your pets. :) I am currently employed part time, and am looking to make extra cash and to connect with pets since I don’t have any of my own. (Yet!) I would have to have an early heads up of when you’d need me, because I get my work schedule weekly. I apologize, but I am unable to provide at home services. I will do all that is necessary to love and take care of your pet.
“Liza did an amazing job with my cat Smudge! They played for about an hour every day, she sent tons of updates and pictures which I loved and it made me feel a ton better about leaving her. Smudge needs eye drops daily because of a surgery, and Liza handled it no problem! Smudge loved hanging out with her, I would absolutely rebook.”
“Knowing Caitlin will be taking care of my kitty gives me so much comfort whenever I am away! She will give your animal her full attention and tailor her care to their needs. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a family dog for over 6 years and have helped to train her and take care of her! I also have dog sat for neighbors and friends all throughout high-school and a few times so far in college! I’m currently in school but my schedule does allow for daily drop-ins or staying overnight! I would love to be able to accommodate requests to the best of my abilities! Anything that is asked of a pet parent I am willing to do for the care of your animal! I can take walks, simply check in with your pet, or stay overnight if you’re away!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Affton
Nobody takes care of our pets the way Brooke does. She comes when she says she will come, she does what she says she'll do AND MORE! Brooke takes lovely photos and went above and beyond by bringing in the mail and taking care of the litter boxes. On top of that, she's a great person! I HIGHLY recommend Brooke for your pet-sitting needs!
As always, the cats were only kind of glad to see us - Heather takes such good card of them - especially our old cat who can't see or hear well. And the house was spic and span! Always a pleasure to come home to our cats/house when Heather has been the sitter.
Phoebe was amazing! This was the first time we left our cat. She usually takes a bit to warm up to people, but she was cuddling with Phoebe on the first visit (which we could see from all the pics she took). Phoebe was dependable and trustworthy with full access to our apartment. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
Bethany was wonderful! She took great care of my Toby, winning his trust over a few days.. while also having to give him medications he didn’t like! He’s a stubborn -but very sweet- cat that she won over, and I’m so grateful too that he made a friend while we were on vacation.
Allison was wonderful with our two cats! Our request was a big time commitment on short notice and she enthusiastically delivered, arriving on time twice a day all week to provide care and enrichment. The kitties obviously had a great time with Allison and were perky and at ease when we returned home from vacation. :) We will be sure to rebook when we go out of town next. Thank you again!
I highly recommend Anna for your in-home pet-sitting needs. It would be difficult to find someone more dedicated to her clients' pets' well-being and happiness, while also providing owners with peace of mind. Anna sends daily updates, asks thoughtful questions, and works hard to build a strong rapport with both pets and their owners.
I can leave town without worry because I know my cats will be taken care of by Samantha and Christopher. They always go above and beyond to take care of our cats. They also watch my family members senior dogs and do a great job. Also they send lots of pictures of the animals and give detailed updates which I really appreciate. 10/10, will absolutely book again
Janina was so good with our 3 cats. She followed instructions perfectly, and took the best pictures of them. I could enjoy my trip without worrying if they were being taken care of. She even got our shy boy to come around by the end. Definitely recommend her and will book her again!
Sonja is so kind, sweet and genuinely so caring when it comes to my little kitties. She followed (medical) instructions and tended to my babies with care and love. She provided the best, well thought out and thorough updates for each visit! It felt like I never left home. Can’t thank her and recommend her enough!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Affton is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
sitters 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 sitter.
