“ALL the stars for Alexis! First time Rover user here and Alexis was so great. She took care of my elder kitty while we were away and she was awesome! Very communicative, very willing to help out with an extra housesitting task and she made us feel like our pet was in great hands while we were on vacation.”
About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, from farm animals to rodents, cats and dogs, reptiles & fish and even a deer! I've taken care of senior pets and very young pets! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because I work part time - a couple hours a couple days a week. Other then that I'm home with my 19 month old baby boy who is excited to meet your pets! I do have my front yard fenced in but it is not the whole yard. I have a big back yard with a field behind! I can crate your dog if needed or just let them hang out with me while they’re here!
“I have three elderly dogs, two of which did not have not had a good past. They are fearful of people for good reason. They instantly trusted Mary. I have never before been able to go away without worrying the entire trip. She has truly enhanced our lives, already booked her a second time.”
“Elizabeth was extremely caring and responsible for our two cats during a month long trip during the winter (including bad weather). We would definitely recommend her for providing care for any fur family members.”

“As always, Gabbie took wonderful care of my cat. Gabbie always has open communication, awesome care skills for not only my cat but also our home, and makes sure that my cat is loved!”
About: I have 10 years of pet sitting under my belt! On top of having four dogs of my own! I am able to pet sit multiple dogs or just 1 dog! I currently work full time with a pretty consistent schedule, i also am never busy after work. The latest i am off is 5 and that’s every other Saturday. I like to know the pets everyday routine. I also prefer to watch them at my client’s home so it’s less stressful the fur babies.
“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”
“I've never felt so relaxed on a trip knowing my pets were being taken care of and safe. I could definitely tell there was genuine care for my pets. Thank you so so much.”
“Madison did a great job with our cats, Misty and Fae - they were in good hands. We received good communication and enjoyed the pictures. We hope she can care for our kitties again!”
About: I attended school to become a veterinary technician and now following my dream working in an amazing clinic ! I am use to working with all kinds of animals. I also offer pet sitting to many clients and friends! Pet care fits into my schedule extremely well because I am able to not only have eyes on my personal pets as they are allowed to come to work with me, but help out with other when needed! At my home my dog is able to be outside ( on a run) and enjoy his time out there! My cats stay inside as they are less sociable during the day! When In clients homes, I offer times (indoor or outdoor) to play.
“We hope that Danielle can continue to help us out with our dog. She was very responsive to our inquiries and made our first time using Rover a breeze. She took great care of our dog and we felt at ease going away for the weekend knowing Danielle was watching our pup!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,197 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Collinsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Collinsville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
