“Jessica is an absolute pet-sitting superstar! Both Miley and Bruce Wayne, our stress-prone elderly pup and food-aggressive Corgi, were in her care at our home for 4 days, and she exceeded all expectations. Jessica went the extra mile to make Miley feel at ease, providing constant updates with photos, ensuring accidents were promptly handled, and giving her plenty of outdoor playtime. For Bruce Wayne, who has food aggression, which is common among Corgis, Jessica's attention to detail and adherence to specific feeding areas made the experience stress-free. We highly recommend Jessica, she’s a true gem in the world of pet-sitting!”
“Barbara was wonderful. My Petey loved having Barbara come and play with him. He did is duty, too. He had so much fun. It helps a puppy be social. She was great! Thank you!”
“Natalie is wonderful! She took great care of my cats while I was out of town. She is transparent, easy to communicate with, and provides great visit reports. You’ll be at ease knowing she is watching your fur babies.”
“Elisabeth was great with both my cats. She managed one of my cats that requires meds twice daily which gave me great peace of mind. She was prompt and communicated very well. I highly recommend Elisabeth.”
“Nicole A. provided outstanding service and took great care of our pups. She was on time everyday and even took them on an extended walk. I would highly recommend for your drop-in, walking, and overall pet care needs.”
“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”
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.
“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: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
“Alli is excellent!!! Alli worked with us for 5 days straight, two times per day. She was on time 100% of the time and was excellent with our puppies. She took them for long walks and always asked if there was more she could do. Alli is very kind and easy to work with. She is also a good communicator. I highly recommend Alli and we will definitely have her back (often!)”
“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: 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.
“Danny & Jennifer were amazing! I can not recommend them enough. From the daily updates, to our specific accommodations, to the care and love they showed our cats, I truly couldn’t be more grateful for these two! Leaving our cats in the hands of someone else is very stressful, but Danny and Jennifer made it so easy for us to not worry as we knew they were in the best hands possible!”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia. She was friendly, attentive, and took great care of our dog while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and she kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure all of her needs were met. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: Growing up I always had a dog! I was taught how to care for them at a very young age. I grew up with a few different size dogs. I am most familiar with medium and small dogs, however I have worked with large ones. I know a little bit about training and grooming but I am still working on perfecting those skills. I currently work full time, however I have plenty of time before and after work to help care for your pets!! A typical weekday shift is 9-6 or 11-8. I work rotating weekends and Sundays are 10-7. I also have an hour break and I am willing to stop by to check in/let them out. I currently live in an apartment, it has a dog park and plenty of places for walks. I do not have any pets so that would not be an issue. Growing up I perfected the art of not letting animals out the door and making sure they are properly leashed for outings.
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 two 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!
About: As a family we enjoy dogs and love to play with them in our home as well as get fresh air out in our large open yard and keep active by taking regular walks. My husband and I both grew up in families with dogs and see the importance of pet care while families are away and would enjoy loving on your dog while sending updates and pictures of your dog during your travels. The relaxed environment of our home allows for dogs to roam freely and comfortably, we are home full time to give your dog the attention and love they deserve, we will play, read, relax, brush, and discover with them! We are excited to hear from you and meet our newest temporary family member!! My husband and I are hme full time homeschooling our kiddos. We enjoy the company of a pet in our home and meeting new families from around the area. We have a relaxed home environment, perfect for welcoming in your pet. We take them on daily walks around the neighborhood and have the ability to crate your pet if needed. We are a work from home and a homeschool family with 4 kids. We all love having the dogs around each day to play and love on! We take multiple walks daily with ranges that vary based on the dogs capabilities.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ballwin on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,759 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ballwin. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
