“Barbara was great! Timely and compassionate, she sent great updates with multiple pictures and was patient with our senior dog. We will absolutely be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Eisabeth was wonderful with my cats! She is compassionate and understanding of their unique needs. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care while I was out of town knowing that they were very well taken care of!”
About: Hi! I’m a local mom, animal lover, and lifelong dog enthusiast! 🐾❤️ Our family sadly lost our sweet dog this summer, and while our hearts aren’t quite ready to welcome a new puppy of our own, we have so much love left to give! I would absolutely love the opportunity to care for yours! I’m offering dog walking, pet sitting, and check-in services for busy families, working professionals, or anyone who needs an extra helping hand with their furry family members. Whether your pup needs a neighborhood walk, a potty break, some playtime, or a loving place to stay while you’re away, I’d love to help! I know firsthand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, attention, and care that I would my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! 🐶💕 I have a very flexible schedule for the most part. I am a real estate agent and a mom to twin boys who are in school full time. I can easily pop over to your home or have your dog to our house as well. My yard is almost completely fenced in except for our driveway. I’m happy to take your dog on walks as well. I am happy to let your dog run free inside at our home or crate. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.
“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!”
“Danny & Jennifer did a great job watching our cats, especially the one with medical issues. Their report and pictures after were so thorough and definitely made us feel better about being away!”
About: I have hundreds of services completed with excellent reviews on another platform and am taking my skills and experience to this one. I've always had dogs and always connected with animals, and friends and family have recognized that affinity and felt comfortable and trusting their fur babies to my care over the years. I've worked with shy dogs, anxious dogs, aging dogs, dogs with high medical needs, puppies, power breed dogs, tiny dogs, and pretty much any other kind you can imagine. I'm looking forward to giving your pet the same high level of care! I have a flexible schedule that I control, so I have a lot of availability to help you care for your pets. I don't even mind the early morning or late evening walks! I have many regular clients, and they tend to pick me when they need someone reliable (to care for their pets when they're away, to show up on time for a 6am walk before an important procedure, to care for a dog who needs extra patience or care for medical needs, etc.). I was a store assistant manager for 15 years, so I know how to keep calm in emergency situations and understand the responsibility of having people who are relying on me. I also have a musical background, so I'll probably end up singing to your animals like a Disney princess at some point.
“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!”
“Liana was great as usual. She takes great care of our cats when we need her. There was a slight hiccup getting into the home while we were gone, but she was in constant communication with us and made sure that she could take care of our kitties! We will absolutely have her care for them again and would highly recommend her to others! Thank you so much Liana!!!!”
About: I found my own dog for over 10 years. My previous job was at a doggy daycare. I am time oriented and affectionate under my care. I will be open and free on rotating weekends. I am typically off Monday & Thursday. I do have a day job from 8am-4:30 in Creve Cour. I can consider any other days if needed. I have a flexible schedule under communication to help care for your loved pets. Give me a call and we can talk in messaging and meet in person. I will keep tidy of the clients home. I will provide a safety net to all who is under my care. Daily updates if needed.
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
“Susan took such great care of my little fur baby while I was away for the holidays. She kept me updated with her visits and I knew my little Kiwi was in a great, loving hands while I was gone. I highly recommend Susan if you want someone who truly loves dogs and who'll care for them like they're her own. I will be using Susan to car for my fur baby whenever I need to travel.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and I have great patience to keep you and your pet comfortable while you are gone. I currently work two other jobs so early mornings work great for me. If that doesn’t align with your schedule contact me anyway and I can make time. I treat everyone’s pets as I would my own, with love, care, and patience. And I respect the clients home as well, while they trust me to take care of their pet.
“Our cats love when Diane comes by to check on them. Our youngest cat is scared of dang near everything and doesn't like strangers but even he comes out for playtime/pets when she comes by. She really takes the time to play with the boys and make sure they are well taken care of.”
About: I really enjoy spending time with furry friends and provide a lot of attention and care to them. I am attentive to their behavior and emotional state and communicate everything to owners immediately. My perfect fit would be mature dogs with moderate to low energy levels, that are quiet and like to cuddle. I don't do well with highly anxious dogs but can provide a good level of support to slightly/moderately anxious dogs. I can provide regular exercise in a form of the walk as often as needed but am unable to take the doggy out more often than every 3 hours. About me: I'm quiet, responsible, and easygoing. Don't have visitors often. I like to draw, do something crafty and read! Prefer a quiet environment. My parents live with me too. My dad works full time, but my mom is almost always home. I'm have flexible schedule and often work at home, so your pet won't be left alone very often. And if we do need to leave, it would only be a few hours and I would mention it to the owners to make sure it is okay. I can provide potty breaks every 3-4 hours but prefer dogs that can stay alone without potty break for 4-6 hours just in case. I will do what I can to accommodate your pet's needs! We have double door and I usually a bit anxious about safety and concern about dogs running away. I will also make sure there is nothing unsafe on the floors before pup arrives.
About: I have always been drawn to dogs. Having grown up on horse stable, dogs were part of our lives. I've trained many puppies in potty training and currently work with rescue groups and have helped raise litters of puppies. Have worked with seniors, diabetic dogs and dogs with physical handicaps. My fenced-in, secure, back yard provides security and an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. In the summer, the breeze and the shady trees make it a comfortable place, even on a hot day and my home is on a quiet cul-de-sac away from busy streets. I schedule between 8am and 6pm and ask for communication if you are running late. I am a LICENSED and INSURED provider as is a requirement in the state of Missouri. My dog park is a safe haven for fun and sun! Fully fenced-in backyard for their safety. Shady trees atop a hill at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.
About: When my Red Heeler was still with us she, taught me how to walk a high energy dog. If your pup is an eager walker, we’ll do just fine. An eager pup just has a world to explore. I also grew up with a Tea Cup Yorke. She loved to walk, but it was at her own pace. She was an incredibly wonderful dog to grow up with. She thoroughly enjoyed wrestling and playing with her rope. I’ll be sure to follow your preferences regarding how to care for your Dog. Thank you for trusting me with your fur baby. I am looking forward to getting to know your pup and to helping your fur baby get some extra energy out.
About: I absolutely love caring for dogs and meeting new people. Your dogs will be greatly cared for and loved. I do have a fully time job but am more than happy to take the time to ensure that your dogs meet their every need. I will continuously keep you posted on everything we are doing along with many photographs of your dog so that you don't miss a thing while you are away. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your pup, you can feel more than free to contact me at anytime and I will be more than happy to help. If you have any specific requests you know that you can just let me know and I will fulfill every need. Thank you in advance!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ballwin
Emma is very sweet and responsive! My 10-month old golden retriever loves her! Her services were a huge help, as she was able to get my sweet Margie to day care after I had to be at work. Emma is very trustworthy and I never worried about my pup getting to day care safely. I highly recommend Emma! She is a fantastic communicator and flexible.
Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my boys while I was out of town. She kept me updated throughout my trip and sent lots of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my dogs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST Rover sitter! Emily is truly such a blessing to us, and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! ❤️ She is the sweetest, most caring person, and it is so obvious how much she genuinely loves and cares for Thea. She treats Thea like one of her own dogs, and that means more to me than she will ever know. Emily goes above and beyond every single time she watches Thea. She brings her special treats and bones, takes her on walks, and even puts on Paw Patrol or a movie for her to watch while I’m away. 🥹 It’s all the little extra things she does that show just how much she cares. Knowing Thea is not only safe but also loved, spoiled, and happy while I’m at work gives me such peace of mind. As someone who has to be away from home for long shifts, having someone I can trust with my girl is priceless. Emily is so much more than a dog sitter to us. She is a huge blessing in our lives, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I would recommend her a million times over to anyone looking for someone who will love their pet like family. Thea and I absolutely adore her! 🐾💕
Cleo was wonderful with my kitties and they adore her! One of them is very shy and hid at first, and she took the time and patience to make him feel comfy and made sure he got what he needed. She was communicative about how they were doing and I felt so much better being away from them knowing she was there and loving them like her own cats! She is awesome and we'd happily book her again!!
I felt very comfortable having Beth care for Willow. They seemed to form a friendly bond immediately. Beth adhered to my suggested schedule of visits and prompted forwarded me information about those visits. Please compliment Beth and apply a $10 tip. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ballwin is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,669 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ballwin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ballwin. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
