“This was my first time using Rover and finding a dog sitter that was great fit for my dog. I found Courtney and Ryan were engaged with my dog and also when I pointed out his needs, Courtney took notes and there was a great exchange on information. On the day when my dog was visited by Ryan/ Courtney, I was sent pictures of my dog and I immediately knew Courtney and Ryan were an excellent fit for my dog. They were also very familiar with the breed of my dog. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have owned animals since I was a kid. I just recently had my dog pass away and I am very keen on looking after your fur baby like they were my own! My passion is to work with animals. I currently live in an apartment so I’m looking for dog walks or dog sits but once I have a house I will be open to boarding!! As long as your dog gets along with other animals I will be able to allow them in my home ☺️ I do live in an apartment but constantly go outside as I have a dog of my own. I also go on trail walks around the area and can take them to the dog park if allowed.
About: I have a genuine passion for animals and am committed to treating them with the same respect and care you would. Currently, I have the availability and would be delighted to bring joy to dogs and cats. I’m currently switching careers, so I’m free and eager to lend a paw with dog walks or even pop over to see some cats at home! I’m a big fan of all animals, so whatever you need, I’m happy to help! I would treat anyone's pets with the same respect and care as they would, as I truly understand the importance of a pet to one's family and self.

About: Hello, My name is Rachel. I'm an Registerd nurse and graduate student. I work mostly in nursing education, health advocacy and Indigenous health. I am the owner of a golden doodle named Luffy. You may recognize him and myself as being a part of the Dog Friendly KW content creation team. When I initially got Luffy he was such a handful and we went through alot of hard work together to be able to go on so many dog friendly adventures. I utilize balanced training methods and have experience with slip leads, prongs and the e-collar. I know for myself how difficult it can be to find places for our pups to stay where the structure we implement with our pups is being followed and I decided to offer my services to support the dog community. I am not a dog trainer but I will ensure your pup has a great time while maintaining the structure they are used to. I work full time from home and I'm pretty flexible with my work. I try to structure my day in order to ensure I am able to provide the best possible pet care. I make sure to read how the pet is doing and the care plan that is provided to me and gage my actions based on that. I would follow the instructions of the pet owner to best care for their dog .

I have also provided pet care staying overnight in a client’s home for a minimum of 1 night-2.5 weeks. I may not be able to get time off of my part-time job when staying in a client’s home so I hope it is okay if I am gone for 4-8 hours in the evening for a couple of the evenings, if it falls on the days I am scheduled. I have always made sure to time out feeding and walks according to my work schedule when needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - St. Thomas
Courtney ( and some help from Ryan too!) were wonderful carers for my two boys while I was away on a 4 day trip. Starting with excellent communication and explaining about the Rover service ( as this was my first experience) I felt comfortable entrusting my cats to their visits and care. I received great visit reports and photos each day. That was such a reassurance, that I was actually able to enjoy my needed getaway without worry or doubts. I will gladly call on Courtney and Ryan for future catsits!
I was grateful to have Raquelle come to my home to provide care for my two cats while I took a five day trip away. She was wonderful- attentive, thorough, and genuinely caring that my guys had their needs met ( food, fresh water, treats and litter scooped) and beyond! I appreciated the time she took to take and send photos of my boys ( even though they would often hide) and to provide feedback on each visit. Raquelle even emptied and reset the Litter Genie for me once it became full... and I noticed she had taken my older cat's laser toy out and tried to entice him to come out and play- very nice effort for my shy little man. I was able to get away & relax for a few days, which was absolutely great. I will definitely reach out to Raquelle for my future cat-sitting needs even if I just need to work some overtime and not a trip away. It is so great finding someone trustworthy, caring and competent!
After losing our older dog earlier this year, our younger dog had been fairly depressed, so we'd avoided going away to ensure he was ok. A death in the family meant we would have to travel for a day, and Laura made all of us (including Rufus) feel at ease. Our meet & greet was full of playful excitement (from Rufus) and professional "get to know you and the animals" engagement from Laura. On the day, we left some extra instructions for Laura, and felt very comfortable about Rufus being taken care of by a compassionate and capable animal lover like us. The photos we got were hilarious and reassuring that Rufus had been in excellent hands. Would absolutely recommend Laura, and will be booking with her again in the future.
Carley is amazing! She is very reliable and always responsive in a timely manner. She sends multiple pictures of both of our dogs, provides bathroom/drink/snack updates, follows directions given (i.e. separating the dogs to their places when leaving, etc.) and lets us know what activities her and the dogs get up to while she's at our place. I will absolutely continue to reach out to her for check ins with our boys, as she has proven herself to be a great choice for us. Thank you Carley :)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - St. Thomas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in St. Thomas is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $34 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.
There are 494 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in St. Thomas. About 84% of St. Thomas sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in St. Thomas choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
