“Sarah was exceptional! She was very communicative and took lots of pictures. The updates throughout my trip were fantastic and she was very attentive to make sure my pup was taken care of and comfortable. She came during the agreed upon hours and asked questions to make sure my dog followed his normal routine. I so appreciate the thoughtfulness to make sure I had peace of mind about my pup while traveling.”
About: Hi, I'm Kelsey! 🐾 If you're looking for someone who will love your pets like they're my own-you just found her. I've spent the last 10+ years caring for pets of family, friends, and neighbors, and it's truly something love. Your pup will feel right at home here! I have a large fenced yard for safe play and plenty of space inside to relax. Dogs are welcome to roam or be crated based on what they’re used to. We’re right by a pond and walking trail, so they’ll get lots of fresh air and exercise. I work three days a week, which gives me plenty of time on my off days to provide lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m big on keeping their routine as normal as possible—and yes, couch snuggles and plenty of picture updates are included 😊 I currently work 3 days a week so I am able to devote any range of attention and care that your animal needs. I know how stressful it can be traveling without your pets and I want to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your furry companion. If you’re looking for someone who will give you daily updates and photos and a person who will give your animals love and snuggles while you’re away, I’m your person! I keep things pretty simple and focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe. I follow whatever routine they’re used to at home—feeding times, potty breaks, crate time if needed, and their usual sleep setup.
About: I've been pet and house sitting off and on since I was 14 so it's been over 10 years. I love every dog I come across and try to make sure I can make them feel comfortable enough for me to pet them. It doesn't matter the age or the breed of the dog I will always want to try to connect and pet the dog. I have a retail job that I work at part time. But currently trying to make some extra money on the side. I'm willing to work whenever I'm not working my retail job I can either stay over at the house or just drop in when you need me. I can play with your pets feed them make sure they feel comfortable and safe. My mom always taught me leave a house cleaner than you found it. So I will always try to pick up here and there and clean at least a little bit if I have the time too

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 13. I personally have 5 current pets right now. This includes 1 dog 3 cats and even a turtle. I got a degree to be a veterinarian assistant and worked in an animal clinic for almost a year. Right now I am a kennel attendant at a doggy daycare. Where required online training was required. We get a variety of different dogs. Ranging from small to large, young to old, even a few dogs with some medicine issues. I'm currently working part-time. In my free time, I take my son out for walks, so I can possibly bring dogs with me. I do have my own car for transportation. I live in a neighborhood where there is a lot of strays, so when I walk my dog, I carry a spray shield, which is citronella and animal deterrent from Pet Safe. Working at a dog daycare, we get a lot of dogs with some type of medical condition. From clean Bulldogs folds to make sure dogs take their medicine when needed.

About: Hi! I’m Britt, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m an animal lover who truly enjoys caring for animals of all kinds, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. I have professional experience working at Woodland West Pet Resort, where I became a Certified Kennel Technician. This experience taught me how to safely care for multiple animals, recognize their individual needs, maintain clean and comfortable environments, and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention and care. I also have experience caring for a variety of animals, including wildlife. Caring for so many different types of animals has given me a great appreciation for how unique every animal can be. Needless to say I’m up for anything! In addition to my kennel experience, I have experience providing drop-in pet sitting and dog walking, as well as caring for pets in their homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medication routines when needed, and giving pets the companionship and attention they need while their owners are away. I also have hands-on dog bathing and nail-trimming experience and understand the importance of keeping pets clean, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your pet needs a fun day of play, a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I would love the opportunity to care for them! Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life and schedule. I am a mother of three boys, and my youngest is one. I am also a full-time caregiver to my autistic son when he is not in school. Because of this, I am already structured around being home and available when my family needs me. Providing pet care allows me to support other families while still being present for my children and maintaining a schedule that works around school hours and my caregiving responsibilities. It’s a meaningful way for me to do something I love while balancing my family’s needs. Whether your pet needs a fun day of play, a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I would love the opportunity to care for them! Big or small, I can care for them all! I love animals of all species. Canines, felines, reptiles, avian’s, and exotics. I have a big backyard with plenty of room for playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I’ll always make sure they have fresh water, attention, and everything they need to feel comfortable. Every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their individual routine and personality. We can enjoy open play and cuddle time with naps in between, or give them space if they prefer some quiet time. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home!

I am the pawfect sitter for your fur baby. Pick me and you will not be disappointed. I will be available seven days a week so i will have plenty of time on my hands to help look after your fur baby. I have a pretty decent size backyard, lots of toys and things that a cat or dog will need. I also have a sweet Chihuahua named Bella, who is about 7 years old who loves to be around other cats and dogs. So they will have plenty of company and lots of fun.
About: My history with dogs began the day I was born. My family has always had at least one dog, and I've always had responsibilities regarding dogs. My dog, Oscar, is a rescue and recently turned one. He loves people, other dogs and all other animals he’s met so far. I began house sitting when I was 17, and have been taking care of pets and homes for 15 years.
About: I’ve always taken care of pets whether they were mine, or someone who needed a sitter for the weekend! Pets are our babies as well! I’m currently between jobs, and have more than enough time in my life right now, and would love to take care of your fur babies! We have 5 acres for them to play on! I have two of my own dogs, who are little social butterflies. They would gladly take on some new friends!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Collinsville
My cat is a very skittish cat. He is very loving around the people he accepts. Taylor does an exceptional job taking care of my cat. From my first time using Rover Taylor was able to get him to interact with her. I don’t travel a lot and she is able to get Buddy to come out for her with her even after not seeing her for months. I have friends and family visit, that he has been around a lot, where he will hide and never show himself. .i will definitely keep using her as my pet sitter and recommend 100%.
Brooke took such great care of our three pups while we were at our daughter’s wedding. She kept us updated throughout the day, and knowing all three were in good hands meant we could relax and enjoy the wedding. She really went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the care she gave our girls. We’d happily book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Collinsville is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 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 730 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Collinsville. 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 Collinsville. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
