“Brandi was a wonderful and communicative house sitter for my golden retriever, June. I will definitely book with her again in the future. June got to swim and run a couple of errands with Brandi, and I got photo updates during the stay!”
“Kelly was great. She was flexible and communicative. When we got back home, we could tell that Sam felt cared for and attended to in our absence which is always a relief after being away, even for a short time.”
About: I have grown up with & spent so much time with all sorts of dogs & cats. There has never been one that I have not adorn & treated like my own. I have grown up with puppies to senior dogs. I currently work 10’s Monday-Thursday, Friday through Sunday I would be way more flexible with caring & tending for your loved ones, but I can be flexible if needed & we can figure something out. I have four big dogs of my own, so I would prefer to care for your pet(s) at their home so they are comfortable. I could either do drop ins multiple times a day or stay over if needed. We will figure it out together!
“D came through in a pinch for us because the first sitter we had quit after we were gone out of the country about 24 hours and abandoned our pets. D took great care of our 2.5 month old Golden Retriever puppy and 2 indoor cats. D even cleaned up the house prior to our arrival. We would definitely book D to care for our pets again.”

“5/5 — Absolutely Amazing Experience with Rose! Rose was incredible! She took care of our pets for two weeks and went above and beyond every single day. She sent multiple updates and photos daily, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed my detailed written instructions perfectly and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. Not only is Rose professional and trustworthy, but she’s also thoughtful — she left our home spotless before she left! It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches and treats them like her own. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
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.
About: I’ve had many years of experience with all kinds of animals. I truly love hanging out with them even if it’s a short amount of time! I’m a college student so I have classes in the morning but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays and only for a short amount of time. I also have a part time job but my shifts average 4-5.5 hours. I’ve really dealt with everything so I’m quite comfortable with different situations. I personally have a fenced in yard and I crate my puppy since she’s still training.
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life, and I have taken care of the pets of friends. I have cared for my own senior dogs and have raised a rambunctious Labrador puppy. I participated in 4-H with my current dog, and volunteered with a Labrador Retriever rescue in Arizona for a few years. Currently, I work at a boarding facility for both dogs and cats, resulting in having worked with dogs of many different breeds, ages, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student at Oklahoma Wesleyan University, and I am currently job hunting, but I am very available. I am always available during nights to care for dog or cats, and I can always work early mornings and afternoons into my schedule. I am available for housesitting, and have no problem hanging out with the animals for long periods of time when it is necessary and when I have the time.
About: Grew up carrying a pet chicken around the neighborhood, soon was gifted a parakeet that I had for ten years! At the age of 14 I was given a five week old mix breed dog who I had and loved for over 14 years. Went from changing her diapers to having her as the flower girl at my wedding. I love all animals from the furry ones to the scaly ones! I have taken care of all animals from sugar gliders to hedgehogs. I am a graduate of veterinary assisting but since then have dedicated my time to raising my daughter and son. Would love to be given the opportunity to care for your babies! ❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom to a five year old and almost one year old. I promise that I’ll treat you fur babies as I do my own babies. ❤️ Our home is super pet friendly, including two sweet little corgis to keep your baby company and an active but sweet toddler. We don’t have a fenced yard but we do daily walks to the dog park down the street! Or if you prefer we can go to a park of your choice. Running and jumping inside the house is always welcome our corgi girls will love to share her toys with your baby! They also respects boundaries for shyer pets so they won’t be any trouble at all.
About: Hello! I’m Tara, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I competed in eventing through my mid-twenties—so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. My significant other, Mike, and I work together as a team to provide attentive, 1:1 in-home boarding with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate special routines and needs (senior care, medications, shy/anxious pups, or high-energy dogs who need extra play and structure). Tell me what helps your dog feel safest and happiest, and we’ll tailor their care to match. I work in childcare part time and Mike is a gig worker with a very flexible schedule. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a nice size yard with. We also have a large deck for lounging.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 453 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.
