“Elisabeth is amazing! The dogs were in great spirits and so relaxed when we got home from our trip. She was super thorough in taking care of them. Taking them out twice during each visit while ensuring they were played with and fed appropriately. We will definitely be utilizing her as a sitter again! We also loved the pictures and update each visit.”
“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.”
“Danny and Jennifer were absolutely amazing with our pups for a really extended (two weeks!!) period of time. They came on time every day, twice a day, and saw to their basic needs, of course—food, water, love, play. But they also picked up after them, straightened the house, took the trash to the curb, kept the pups safe in the dorms, did troubleshooting on an AirTag collar, brought packages inside, gave great Rover cards, and clearly just CARED!!! They were great communicators and went WAY above and beyond in pretty much every possible way. Unsurprisingly, our pups love them! I will do everything I can to work with them again for future vacations!!”
“Alicia was a great sitter. Took awesome care of our puppies and was an awesome communicator. She performed all the puppy duties and counted everything through rover including all the walks. I highly recommend Alicia!. Loved the pictures”
“Patricia does a great job with our dogs. Loves on them and takes great care of them. She is always prompt in responses and on time for visits. I highly recommend her!”
“We have developed a wonderful relationship with Beth. She loves our pets as we do. They love seeing her and she takes great photos of their shenanigans together. Trust her with their care.”
“This was Natalie's first visit with my Kojak and she did a great job with her. The photos she sent were a great relief for me and she did all of the little things very well. Definitely on my sitter list in the future.”
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of our two boys. We could see how excited they were to see her when she sent us the daily videos. We are so grateful to her and highly recommend her (except when we need her help) to everyone. Thank you J!”
“Alycia did a great job checking on our two excessively shy cats-she went above and beyond to find their hiding spots and made sure they were OK even as they took hide and seek to the extreme. We knew our two brats were well taken care of and could relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“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!”
About: As a performer who travels the world by sea, I know how comforting the love of an animal can be and while I’m away I miss that connection so much! I have loved, snuggled, and pet animals around the world and while I’m back on land I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same attention! I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up in a home full of furry friends. My parents volunteer with Duo Dogs, so our house has always been a revolving door of puppies and big dogs alike. Two of our English Labs are especially sensitive to fireworks and thunderstorms, so I’m no stranger to calming anxious pups with patience, love, and a gentle hand. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, some cozy snuggle time, or maybe it’s your turn to get out and see the world, I’m here to keep your pets happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is wide open during my time home-so don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s set something up! Since I am taking a land break, my schedule is very open! I enjoy my time at the gym, but other than that I don’t have many routine commitments. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in your home where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and treat your home with care. You can trust that your pet will be loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Mason is wonderful! He took great care of my cats while I was out of town and made sure they were loved on. He is transparent, easy to communicate with, and provides great visit reports and photos. You’ll be at ease knowing he is watching your fur babies and they will be well taken care of.”
“Cynthia was fantastic!!! This was our first time using Rover and she made it such a great experience. She FaceTimed with me before the day we needed her to make sure she got to meet Trudy and myself before coming into our home. She was so kind and so great with our dog! Will no doubt use her again. Thank you!!!”
“Brooklyn took great care of my kitties while I was out of town!! I loved all the photos and updates she sent each day. Would definitely book her again and recommend her if you need someone to take care of your pet(s)! 😊”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I provide patient, reliable care and treat every pet like family, ensuring comfort, safety, and love. I work from home everyday of the week except Wednesdays so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of if your pets! On Wednesdays I am usually home before 2pm so your pet would not be left alone for long periods of time ever. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I provide a clean, calm environment, fresh water, supervision, and plenty of love so they feel secure and happy.
“Zadee really cares about the pets. She came over a few days prior to meet them and get the entire routine a couple of days prior. Obviously smart and paid attention. Arrived on time, filled an extra water dish that I hadn’t requested, followed the rules and requests. Would easily hire her again!”
About: I am a very pet oriented person, having had cats and dogs in my life since I was small. I am empathetic to when pets need extra reassurance and attention and make sure to go the extra mile to make my furry friends feel comfortable and well cared for. I am currently working part time which enables me with a lot of flexibility and free time to meet your pet care needs. Chances are great I will be able to accommodate your pet visit or pet sitting schedule needs so feel free to reach out and let's get acquainted! I prefer to care for pets in their regular home space to limit their stress. I will be careful to follow all instructions and prefer written instructions for pet care and any light home care needs you have.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ballwin
Cleo was fantastic with Lumi! She was reliable, communicative and sent us great updates and plenty of photos after every visit. She made sure Lumi got her walks and potty breaks, had fresh water and food, and spent extra time playing with her and giving her some attention and cuddles. It gave us a lot of peace of mind being away knowing Lumi was comfortable and well cared for. Cleo clearly took the time to actually engage with her rather than just stopping by to check the boxes. We would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ballwin on Rover is $16.65 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,734 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ballwin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ballwin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
