About: As young as I can remember I was raised with animals, specifically cats and dogs. From caring for my own family's pets, to caring for my neighbor's pets, to volunteering with local shelters, I am comfortable and experienced with caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Aside from my love for animals, I graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor's in Psychology in 2024, and I am considering further schooling in the future. I worked with community resources for Specialty need and disabled individuals as well as with seniors in end of care rehabilitation services. Last year I moved from Texas to be closer to family while I worked and explored future possibilities. I'm currently working at a bakery part-time and am able to balance my time well. Typically I can expect two to three days of open availability, and I am willing to care either before or after my working shifts. When caring for others pets I always make sure to ask the owners their preferred methods of care as well as any pertinent information I may need to know. Aside from directions, I care for all animals as if it were my own. My cat is a spoiled baby and I love to shower any pets with a similar efforts.
About: I’ve lived with my dogs for around 10 years. I take them for walks, feed them when my family needs some help. I have a big dog and a medium sized dog! I don’t have any professional experience but I take care of my dogs often. :) I’m a student at Mizzou, so I will typically be busy until 3pm when I’m in Columbia. When I’m back home in Ballwin over breaks, I should typically be free at all times. I can’t have pets in my home, but in others home I am able to give walks, play with animals, and do anything that’s needed! I love taking care of animals and I’m super careful with them.
“We really appreciate someone who loves animals like we do. We are a couple that likes to take short trips and need someone to just drop in a couple times a day to check on our cat Zoe, clean her litter, feed and play with her a little bit. Elizabeth did a great job doing that and we didn’t worry one bit knowing she was there for us. Gave a report and pictures every time she was there and just did a great job. Thanks”
About: I have been taking care of dogs of any kind ever since I can remember! I have been working at a local daycare and boarding facility for three years, and have been taking care of neighbor and family dogs for my whole life, I promise to give you an above and beyond experience! ❤️ I work part time at a local daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of time on my hands! I am home from college for the summer, so I am willing to spend as much time as possible with your pet! I have a sweet elderly dog named Olive to keep your pet company! And most importantly, I have a large yard to keep your dog active and on their feet!
“Alli was everything I hoped for in a petsitter. I felt comfortable leaving my three big dogs in her care. She was on time with her visits and did everything I requested. I will be asking for her help again in a month or two.”
“This was our very first experience with Rover.com - and we are very pleased. Working with Natalie has been such a great experience! We love to vacation but hate leaving our two cats behind. We used to board them at a very nice kenneling center, but found the experience to be too stressful for our Himalayans who strongly prefer to stay at home. Natalie met with us before our first booking, and really took the time to get to know our cats' schedules, preferences, etc. We appreciate her swift and thorough communication, the photos she took of our cats and the nicely detailed write-ups of her visits. Finally, we can now travel with peace of mind knowing that Natalie is watching over our furbabies. We've already booked her for our upcoming honeymoon to Mexico, and look forward to booking her again for future vacations. Thank you Natalie!”
“Blanca was an amazing caregiver to our two dogs while we were in Hawaii. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of them playing, chasing the ball, enjoying pets and scratches. We would definitely recommend Blanca and will 100% use her in the future!”
“Alicia was not only available last minute but connected with our two dogs the second they met. She provided updates with each visits and wonderful pictures. It was apparent when we returned that the dogs had been loved. Thank you!”
“Patricia was great!! She stayed for the full 30 minutes and took great care of our Sadie girl. She sent lots of photos and was very responsive. Could not recommend a better sitter! We will definitely book again! Thank you Patricia!!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! Jessica does a wonderful job caring for pets! She videos her visits and keeps the owner posted in a timely manner. My quirky dogs enjoyed her visits so much! She provided scheduled medications and feedings and potty breaks as requested during stormy weather and hectic holiday schedules! How wonderful to be able to have our pets at home with someone so professional and reliable! We will call on her again”
“Brooklyn was great coming to check on my pups! She’s helped me with a nail trim for my crazy puppy before and she was so gentle and sweet (even when my puppy was being a little pterodactyl🤣). You can tell she’s great with animals! She sent tons of pictures and a thorough update about her check in. I would reach out to her again in a heartbeat!”
“Cammie was super sweet to my little dogs which made me feel better leaving them at home!! I felt totally comfortable with her in the house! Would highly recommend her!”
“Cindy was very good with our elderly dogs. One of them has high needs, including diapering due to frequent accidents. She understood their limitations due to their age and took the younger one for a walk and left the older one home when needed. She took her time in her visits and sent us the most adorable pictures. We had a minor miscommunication about timing at the beginning of our vacation, but once that was sorted out we had a wonderful experience. We recommend Cindy to care for your pets, she will love them like her own.”
“Barbara has a 10+ rating in my book! This was my first time using Rover and she made the process so easy. She is prompt in her responses, professional and so wonderful to my dog. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Alexandria took great care of our kitties while we were out of town! We have some finicky eaters and one who needs meds, and she didn’t have any issues with them. She was also kind enough to take our garbage cans from the curb and get the mail. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Danny and Jennifer have taken care of our cat many times when we go on trips, and they are always wonderful. I love all the pictures and the detailed notes they send after each visit.”
“Mason is so good with our cats. They tend to be skittish around other people but they love him. He is a great communicator and your fur babies would be lucky to have him take care of them.”
“Ashley was great!! I got pictures & a report card every check-in. She was very attuned to my senior kitty. She is on some medication that can come with side effects and Ashley made sure to let me know what she was noticing! Definitely will hire again. She has a great attitude & even watered my plant while I was away! Thank you so much, Ashley!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and different temperaments. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for dependable walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I always follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable. You can expect consistent communication and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family in West County! I work from home, which means I get plenty of breaks for dog walks, potty breaks, and cuddle visits throughout the day. I’m usually available mornings, midday, and early evenings on weekdays, plus weekends with a little notice. I love building routines with pets (and becoming part of their daily favorite-human rotation). I always follow your instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable. I treat your home with respect and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. On walks, I stay aware of surroundings and keep things safe and calm. I use secure leashes/harnesses and adjust the walk based on your pet’s energy and needs—whether that’s a relaxed sniff-around or a more active walk. And of course, there’s plenty of love, attention, and reassurance built in. I’m also happy to clean up after pets as needed so everything stays tidy and stress-free. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, cared for, and at ease while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ballwin on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,290 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ballwin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
