About: I have been active with Leaderdogs for the blind organization as a puppy raiser. They provide extensive training and mentoring to care for a future leader dog puppy. Much of this advanced training has helped me bond with and care for puppies of all ages! I have been developing my perception of the world through "canine eyes". This means that I'm able to provide fun experiences tailored to each pup. I am used to having a service animal in training with me throughout the day, everyday. It brings me great joy to have a dog around. It's not uncommon for a curious pup to want to interact with me during daily actives. I encourage this in a safe, supervised way. Because there are no other pets in the house, it reduces the chance for conflicts. There is a fenced in backyard to run, play and sniff! Your pup may or may not have challenges with children. There are no children at this residence.
About: I've cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents, and I treat every pet like they're my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to detail, whether that's following feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, maintaining habitats, or providing playtime and companionship. I have 4 years of volunteer experience caring for senior animals, so giving medications and providing extra care is no big deal for me. I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need a little extra patience. My goal is to make sure your pets stay happy, safe, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind with reliable, loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for to ensure they receive timely visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and plenty of attention. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special needs. I am also trained in animal CPR, which gives an added level of preparedness in case of an emergency. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure pets remain secure, comfortable, and stress-free. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Any time after 5:00pm I’m most likely always free and get all holidays off ! Weekends I’m usually free but if not I will gladly make time to watch your dog(s) !

About: Animals have always been a major part of my life from cats to dogs to toads, I love them all. Over the years I have always had indoor cats and dogs in my care that have ranged in age from newborn to senior, energetic to unwell and everything in between. When I’m not caring for my pets or others, I’m a work from home artist and volunteer at the humane society as a foster and dog walker. Take comforting in knowing I would treat your best friend right. Currently I work from home as an artist (predominantly pet portraits) and can set my own schedule leaving me with ample availability for bit time or day and days throughout the week. I have a three acre yard with a large fenced in area, my dogs are extremely friendly and there is lake access that my own dogs use for swimming very often
“Sherill has been a huge help with getting our new puppy adjusted to being home without us during the day. Mabel loves her drop in visits and we appreciate her patience with the puppy energy over the first couple of weeks.”
“Catelyn took exceptional care of my cat Baby. This time, as every time, I was completely confident that Baby would receive the best care while I was away. I cannot recommend Catelyn highly enough!”
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”
About: I have been working in the animal field for 16 years. I also have experience administering medications of all types. I do try to keep to the animal's schedule as best as possible. I'm currently between jobs so I am able to keep your animals active. Once I'm employed again, I'll be able to fit your animal's needs before and after working hours. I prefer keeping your animals in their own home as it is less stressful for them. I keep as close to their schedule as I can on a daily basis.
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my kitty when I was away. My kitty had some vomiting issues before my trip and I had to change the frequency of visit last minute. She was able to accommodate the request no issues. She also made sure to let me know my kitty didn’t vomit in every visit summary. She did everything as I requested.”
About: Hi, I’m Brenna! I can provide walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, and home visits to check on your pup or cat. I enjoy taking care of and walking dogs around my time working as a nurse. Depending on the day, I am available either nights or days and weekends. My schedule is flexible. I have taken care of small and large dogs and feel comfortable around all breeds. I can take your pup to the dog park and play frisbee or catch. I can check in on your cat, take care of litter, feed them, and play with them. Finally, I hope to get to know you and your dog or cat and provide excellent care! I work part time as a nurse, so my schedule is pretty open/flexible to be able to care for your pets. I don’t currently have any pets of my own so I love to be able to take care of others. I will make sure your dog/puppy/cat is well taken care of. I will treat them like my own. I am respectful of your home and will leave it the same way I found it.
“Ellie was great with our dog! It seems to reduce our little guy’s anxiety to have her come by & spend time with him. Ellie us very reliable & conscientious m. I highly recommend her!”
“Dani was very responsive. She provided my elderly cat with the medication that it needed on a daily basis. Being a first time user of a service providing drop-in visits, I was anxious at first. However, Dani took great care in documenting her visits and my home is in as good a condition now as when I left it.”
About: I have 10+ years volunteering at Petco cleaning cages and caring for cats. My parents have 2 dogs/2 cats which I helped care for growing up. I have lots of experience walking/running/playing with dogs as both of mine are extremely high energy! I am a current graduate student with early morning availability/evening availability. I pretty open availability on weekends and would be open to holiday work if I am in town as well! My apartment does not suit animals so I am looking to care for pets outside my home! I am willing to drive to help care for your pets.
About: I have experience in walking dogs, and house sitting. I have stayed with cats as well. I used to be a doggy daycare attendant! My responsibilities included: feeding animals on a regular schedule, walking them on a schedule, giving them medication, and giving them play time and attention. As an animal lover I know that pets need more than just food and water. They need love and affection too! Count on me to give it my all to your pets. :) I am currently employed part time, and am looking to make extra cash and to connect with pets since I don’t have any of my own. (Yet!) I would have to have an early heads up of when you’d need me, because I get my work schedule weekly. I apologize, but I am unable to provide at home services. I will do all that is necessary to love and take care of your pet.
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”
“Mary did a great job taking care of our cat while away. She took care of food and water as needed and provided attention. When we returned, we could see our cat was well tended to. Would recommend Mary's cat sitting to others!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cahokia
Cannot recommend Jamie enough (and thank him enough)! We have two senior dogs who are starting to not have the potty control they used to, prefer things to be fun but also calm/peaceful, and don't always have a lot of energy for meeting new people. Jamie met our dogs and they immediately liked him; even our oldest who tends to be a bit on the grumpy side! Then when we needed to be gone (with no service for most of the day) to do some work in remote Missouri, it was so amazing knowing our boys were going to be taken care of, loved on, and given ample time in the yard to relieve themselves. Even got some amazing notes, pictures, and prompt check-in notifications when I got back into a cell service area! Aaaaand Jamie was understanding of how scatterbrained I can be / how exhausted we were when we got back from our work that he made sure we got home okay so the boys weren't home alone AND didn't get annoyed with me when I forgot to reply to his check-in message, ha-ha! Amazing experience all around and wonderful to have an additional person to help care for our "super seniors!"
Tamera has been such a wonderful help for us. She comes by for 30 minute visits while my boyfriend and I are at work, always giving our dogs plenty of playtime, attention, and a chance to go outside. She’s very professional, consistently kind, and has great communication. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such good hands. Highly recommend Tamera to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!!!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Cahokia is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 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 2,551 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cahokia. 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.
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 Cahokia 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 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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.

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.
