“Sara was fantastic! I scheduled drop in visits around noon. She was on time, took pictures, exercised my big dog, communicated very well, responded fast, made sure food and water was full. Sara was super easy to work with and she fell in love with my sweet boy. I would absolutely recommend her. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat (My sweet Sassy) and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and my small breed Corgi Beagle mix Luke-y so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. I’m currently in the military but love nothing more than hanging out with my babies - and more babies we meet the greater! :) My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.
“Melanie was quick to respond, super communicative, punctual, reliable, and kind. She worked with my trainer and myself to help my dog with their reactivity to strangers. Her willingness to help was much appreciated.”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life. While I’m not ready to adopt yet, I’d love to care for yours. I’ve fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend’s cat for about a year during COVID, and have cat-sat for friends many times. I also have some experience with dogs through friends—walking them together, spending time at dog parks, and playing with them at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.
About: I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years and now I’m a animal control office so for a living I keep animals safe so I will definitely take amazing care of your fur babies I am part time I work at my other job Monday- Friday 7:00-3:30 in st.louis animal care and control off page/ Olivette but I’m available after that and on the weekends I am unable to house fur babies at my home I live with my boyfriend parents but I will take amazing care of them at your home and I have my own fur baby so I can bring her for a fun play date
About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.
About: Hi, I’m Brie! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from volunteering as a dog walker at the APA shelter to sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m also a college cross country and track athlete, so I love running with high-energy pups who need more than just a stroll. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or snuggles, I tailor care to each dog’s personality. With two dogs of my own, I know how important it is to find someone reliable, active, and loving. Your dog will be treated like family! Weekdays: Dog walking & drop-in visits Weekends: Overnight sitting & extended care Winter & Summer Breaks: Open availability for sitting, walking, and extended care Also available in Webster Groves Your dog’s wellbeing is my top priority. I create a calm, secure environment where pups feel at ease—whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. I follow your care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always prioritize safety on walks and during play. With years of experience and two dogs of my own, I understand how important trust is. I treat every dog like family, offering gentle guidance, positive reinforcement, and a space where they can thrive physically and emotionally
“Perri is the best! Our experience was so great. She took a lot of care in doing a sitting with our extremely shy and nervous two-year-old pointer mix. She knows dogs, asked the right questions, and we trusted her. Not only that, she’s super friendly and interesting as a person. Would totally recommend.”
About: I have been watching dogs through Rover for the past three years or so. I truly enjoyed having a dog around and decided to adopt one of my own. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, I check in on dogs, cats and birds in my neighborhood. And I would love to care for your dog for a few days in my own home or stop by yours so you can enjoy a vacation without having to worry about your fur baby. I currently work full time so weekends are best. However, I am a teacher and I will have more availability during spring break and the summer months. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am willing to take your dog for walks. I am home for most of the weekend and will be able to provide care and comfort for your dog. I also have three teenage children who are able to help out if I will be away for a few hours.
About: I have loved and cared for pets all of my life! Throughout high school, I volunteered several hours at a local animal shelter until I was old enough to work for them. After several years and life changes, I am currently a dog bather at a local salon. In addition to sitting, check-ins, and walks, I offer basic grooming services (nail trim/grinds, ear cleaning, and brushing. Bath/Dry services TBA) I work part time Wednesday through Sunday midday. I will be available for services those same days. I am NOT available Sunday evenings through Tuesday evenings. I cannot accommodate pets in my home as I have pets of my own. I am flexible and able to accommodate most needs in a client’s home.
About: I am a traveler who wants to spend weeks home with your pet!! I have owned dogs of all ages and know how to speak the language! Woof! I am extremely available when scheduled and will let you know otherwise. I make my own schedule so I am highly available when I am not traveling! Very flexible. Always honest about my availability and what I am able to provide. I am very good at reading what a dog needs and not lazy about it. Walk at 5 am? On it. Weird feeding times? Not a problem.
About: I love to spoil your dog whenever they’re with me with love plus we love to go to dog parks! I will treat your fur babies as they’re apart of my household. Currently since I’m in an apartment I don’t have access to a place for your dogs to roam, so I will come to you! I work Monday- Friday 8:00-2:30, so mostly I am free in the evenings or on the weekends! If I was babysitting your dog during the week I’d make time for them. I will follow whatever schedule you have for your fur baby and they will get to hangout with me the whole time and get attention.
“Karissa is so sweet and always treats our dog with such kindness when she visits. She’s also great with communicating about my dog and what her behaviors are that day. Makes me feel like I’m there in person! Thank you so much!”
“Ashley is amazing and so knowledgeable with dogs. She is willing to walk our doggo in this freezing weather! Thank you Ashley for all you do! You truly are a blessing to us!!”
About: I have had a dog my entire life growing up. My parents relied on me to take care of my childhood dog and I learned so much just by doing that. I am now 30 and got my own puppy about four years ago. I lover her so much! I give her biweekly baths, daily walks and hourly playtime! Whether it is a walk, daycare or overnight stay, you can trust me to love and care for your pup! I am a teacher so I have the summers off to take care of your dog! I like to wake up early and take my own dog on a walk to start my day. I have a very free and flexible schedule! I have a fenced in yard and mini Bernedoodle who loves all dogs! I am very responsible and my house and yard are extremely dog friendly.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and have worked with a wide variety of temperaments of dog throughout my life. I believe I have a good understanding of dog behavior because of this I am currently looking for much more stable employment, but because of this, I am free pretty much every day of the week. My schedule is widely open. I have two dogs who lived in a fenced in yard. Both are super sweet, if funny dogs who can be very needy for attention and will let me know when they need food. I have learned how dogs act throughout the years, even if the two I have are more chatty
“Katie did a wonderful job with my babies, she stayed overnight and my anxious hound dog wasn't anxious with her there in the house. She kept in touch which was appreciated since I haven't left my dogs at home before. I'll definitely book with Katie again!”

First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.
I had to leave a very skittish cat home while I went away for almost a week, and Tiana did a great job on her visits. I've never tried Rover before now, and I was surprised by how much she was trying to comfort my lil guy while I was gone. I would definitely book her again next time I need a drop-in sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Byrnes Mill is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 2,488 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Byrnes Mill. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Byrnes Mill. On Rover:
- 90% 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 .
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.
