“Bryce was an 11 out of 10 stars! She is very responsible, honest, dependable, reliable, prompt and not to say so good with our Oscar and Toby. She sent pictures at least once and day and checked in to let us know how they were doing and the pictures said it all. They were happy! Thank you Bryce!!!!!!”
“5 stars may not be enough. Where to begin? Liz came to our home for 10 days to house sit and sit with our newly rescued dog, who is a handful for being only 5.5 pounds. She (the dog) has not yet warmed up to people who come into our home. Liz went above and beyond in trying to establish trust with our dog. Liz also sent us daily updates with photos, which was super nice. Liz left our house as clean or cleaner than it was when she got there. We highly recommend her for House and Pet Sitting.”

About: I grew up in the country of Oklahoma taking care of dogs, cats, snakes, cattle, sheep and pigs. I know that our little fur babies are more than pets they’re family and I promise to treat them as such. I currently work in the late morning to afternoon. I would be best help in the early morning, evening, and night! I am very flexible, and would love to help! I have one acre of yard and a completely fenced in backyard. There is lots of room to run and play on my property. I would love to learn all about your pet and what they enjoy and also dislike to make them as comfortable and safe as possible.
“An excellent house and pet sitter. We can count on Christian to take care of our pets and house. He communicated well and assisted with deliveries and house services. We hope he can come back again and he get our highest recommendation.”
“Austin took great care of our high maintenance seniors. He hardly left them alone and took them on way more walks than we asked. He was super communicative and sent plenty of pics. He was also very respectful of our house.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and I have experience cared for all breeds and personalities. I give love and I have patience. Pet care hours for me can be 1pm to 4pm Monday-Wednesday and all day Sunday, I’m currently a college football player who does this in his free time. Just to spend time with animals while not being busy with sports. When I take care of pets in your home, I make it a priority to keep your dogs dailyroutine consistent and stress-free. I respect your space and follow all your instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication or favorite toys. I believe dogs feel most comfortable in their own environment so I take extra care to make things feel normal while you’re away.
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember! From dogs as little as 10lb to as large as 150lbs! Love any and all doggies. I currently work full time so I'm able to walk your dogs in the evening or early morning before work, and I can also house sit on the weekends! I would love to meet your dog first and see the temperament. After that, if all goes well, I'll gladly watch or walk the dog for you.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was very young. I am currently working as a veterinary technician. I have a bachelors degree in veterinary technology. I have medical expertise and experience in administering medications. I thoroughly enjoy working with new pet parents and I am happy to answer any questions about pet care. My only request is to meet with pet and owner in their home before the date of the service required. I am currently not working so I will have plenty of times for your pups! My schedule may be subject to change depending on employment situation. I am currently not able to house pets in my home at this time.however I am happy to take care of your pets in their home. Whether I need to walk them or just have them run around in a fenced in backyard either isn’t an issue. If I am staying overnight I pride myself in being a good house guest and make sure the house is as clean as when you left it. I have experience with training equipment such as choke collars, and basket muzzles as well.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. We had big dogs most of the time but have also spent lots of time with small dogs. I am the person all of my friends and family always ask to care for their pets when they leave on vacation. Particularly because they know I will enjoy it but also because they know I will always take great care of their furry family members. I genuinely enjoy walking and caring for all dogs. I walk my dog after work most days so adding another to the pack is no problem for me. I have the capability to work from home if needed and will do what is preferred by any pet owner that trusts me with their furry family. As a pet owner I understand the importance of making sure your loved one is cared for appropriately. I have a fenced in yard and live close to plenty of traffic free trails. I take my dog on walks and runs on these trails sometimes, other we go to dog parks, and occasionally rest at home with plenty of back yard outings. I mention this because I have pet sat for some elderly dogs and they generally prefer short non-strenuous walks. If this is the preference I am more than willing to provide the care requested.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 460 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Collinsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Collinsville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Collinsville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Collinsville 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!
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.
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 .
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.
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.
