“Kyani was absolutely amazing with Trudy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She communicated with me throughout the entire stay, keeping me updated and making me feel completely at ease. She sent plenty of photos and videos, which showed just how much love and attention Trudy was getting. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Trudy’s happiness and well-being, and she treated her like one of her own. Kyani was incredibly attentive to Trudy’s needs and made sure she was comfortable, exercised, and well cared for. Her kindness, patience, and sweet personality really stood out, and I could tell Trudy felt safe and loved in her care. I would trust Kyani with Trudy again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional pet sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 6 years including my own dogs. I have walked, fed, medicated and cared for all size dogs! From big sweet Argentinian Dogos to small and fiery Chihuahuas. My own Frenchie is epileptic and has severe allergic reactions which has given me experience with sick pets. I am always on watch and careful when on walks! I will care for your pet like one of my own. I currently work 3 days a week as a registered nurse! I have my other 4 days off to care for your pet. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate last minute bookings as well. I am able to provide loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home! I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and plenty of affection. I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also treat every client’s home with respect, keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Having grown up around dogs, I'm very comfortable handling everything from small, easygoing companions to larger, more energetic pups. I'm naturally active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so dog walking is something I genuinely love. I believe walks should be more than just an opportunity to burn off energy — they're an important part of a dog's physical and mental enrichment. I enjoy incorporating exploration, sniffing, play, and plenty of opportunities for dogs to engage with their surroundings at a pace that suits their individual needs. Whether your dog needs a good, active walk, a little company and attention during the day, or someone reliable to care for them in the comfort of their own home while you're away, I'm happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to make sure each one feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to meet yours! My availability is open to your and your pets needs. I am currently pet sitting and walking full time so your pets will be my highest priority. I am willing to get familiar with your home as needed for providing your pet adequate care. Whether that be providing mental stimulation through playtime or a walk, or merely stopping by to provide pats, a meal, and/or medication. I am well versed and familiar with St. Louis and the county so your pets are in safe and capable hands on walks.

About: **I currently have two dogs of my own, but they stay at my partner's home if I am boarding your dog!** Hi! I’m a PhD student who has called St. Louis home for the past five years, and I’m currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation. The good news for your pets? I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, belly rubs, playtime, and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away! I am located in The Grove with access to a dog park at my apartment complex as well as walking distance to both Forest Park & Tower Grove Park for pups that enjoy long walks. One of my dogs loves people and dislikes other dogs, while the other one enjoys dogs and is wary of people so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and their differing needs. Whether your pet is a professional cuddler, an energetic adventurer, or simply here for the treats, I’d love to spoil them ◡̈ Since I work from home while finishing my PhD dissertation, pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. 🐾 My schedule is much more “read a paper, take a dog for a walk, write a paragraph, give belly rubs” than a traditional 9-to-5. I can easily adapt to the schedule of your pup! I’m happy to build pet care into my day and give your pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Having a furry coworker around is honestly a pretty great dissertation-writing perk! 😂 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see what your furry family member is up to. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe & happy!

About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and fish. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets.

Plesease don’t hesitate to ask me more about the services. I currently work remotely, so I have a pretty open availability and able to take last minute scheduling as well.

About: *insured and have a business outside of Rover. Look up entailed adventures. **I’m mostly just trying to use the app to reach more people. We have been in business for a year, but been doing this for friends family for many years prior. Whether you are busy pet parent or just needing a bit of help here and there, I take care of most animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc… I’ve had a pet care service for almost a year but I have years of experience taking care of animals for 8. I’m currently working full time, but I am working on being able to do this full time. I will keep my calendar updated to match my schedule at work until I can do this full time. I house sit at the clients home. If you do not have a fence, I will walk the pet long enough so they can get some enjoyment. I will clean as I go and it will either look as good as it did or better when you come back.

About: I have been taking care of sweet, precious pups since I was 7 years old when my mom surprised me and my brother with a basset hound puppy after school. Her name was Roxanne. A couple years later, we rescued a 6-year-old basset hound, Brandi, and a few years later, we rescued a 1-year-old beagle mix, Misty, and adopted a basset hound puppy, Willow, who had just been born on a farm near our house. We treasured our sweet babies, cooking for them every day - hard-boiled eggs for breakfast and meat and veggies for dinner. And they lived long, happy lives. Brandi, Misty, and Willow all made it to about 15 years old! I just moved from Colorado to start my PhD in Public Health at WashU, and I can't wait to pick back up with dog sitting again! In Colorado, I was the honorary dog sitter at my church. One couple even flew me out to California a few times to continue caring for their sweet pup after they moved! Between my own dogs and others' dogs, I've taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors who need lots of support. I am a PhD student at WashU Bursky School of Public Health. This semester, I have a class on the Danforth campus on Tuesdays from 9am to 12pm, Wednesdays from 12pm-1pm, and Thursdays from 1pm-4pm. My research is remote. So, I have lots of flexibility to make sure your pups get their potty breaks and play time and walk time, even on days that I have class. And house sitting would work super well :) I am offering house sitting, check-ins, and walks. If I am house sitting, I will always stay the night to make sure your pets are safe and well taken care of. I will keep the outer doors locked and make sure I am able to hear your pets if they need me. I am also happy to sleep in the same room with them if that is your preference. I will make sure to follow whatever schedule your pets need, e.g., eating, medicine, walking. As far as check-ins and walks, I will make sure to respect whatever rules you have for the house (e.g., shoes off, doors locked). I'm also happy to give your dogs a bath when they need it!

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.

Jamie takes time and extra consideration with our pets. He even provided a "test walk" with our leash-reactive doggo, and I felt confident Jamie would take good care of him on walks while we were away. He puts forth a lot of care and professionalism, and we have already re-booked and will continue to do so in the future!

Ugur was so patient with my diabetic kitty who needs insulin twice a day. Unfortunately, our cats are very skittish with new people even though he met them during a meet n greet. Our cat hid from him behind our washing machine and Ugur was able to flush him out and had to chase him all around, but he was always able to find him for his insulin! This is such piece of mind when you have cats that need meds. So thankful he was able and willing to do the job and keep me update during each visit. Definitely my fave sitter and I'm using him for all our future trips.

Deyna took excellent care of our cat, Zuni, by checking in several times a day while we were away. She was always on time for each visit, and not only fed my baby, but gave her her medicine as well. And she of course, gave my baby love with rubs and pets! Deyna is friendly, responds to messages quickly, and shared tons of pictures of my cat during each visit. She is a pleasure to work with, especially given the fact that my travel plans changed a few times and she was always kind about it and accommodating. I told her I would arrive back home on Sunday afternoon and she still told me that she would be available to feed my cat midday or in the evening if I needed it. She’s so helpful! I definitely recommend her to others in need of pet sitting!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cahokia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cahokia is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $14 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 November 2026, there are 2,634 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 Cahokia. On Rover:

  • 89% 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
