“Alexis was very attentive to our 3 cats. We will definitely book her again. Our cats range from young to old and they all loved her. She’s responsible and trustworthy.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of pet medical experience, pet care, cat rescue, and TNR work. I have volunteered at Animal Rescue, Inc, walking dogs and caring for cats. I also volunteered for feral cat spay/neuter clinics. For over 20 years I have provided complex daily care, including medical needs, for my personal pets. This, and petsitting, have previously been accomplished during full time employment as a veterinary technician at veterinary hospitals. I have provided petsitting many times in owners' homes in the past. I can also pick up mail, water plants, close curtains, turn lights on and off, etc.
“Kat is Amazing. This was her first visit with our dog Fergus and je had a great time. She arrived at our agreed time and took wonderful care of our boy. We will definitely be using Kat again to care for our boy.”
“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.”
About: I've been providing house sitting and pet care for the past three years, caring for both dogs and cats while giving owners peace of mind when they're away. During that time, I've looked after pets of all ages, including senior animals and pets with medical needs, so I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining their routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home, and I treat every home and every animal with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I make time each day to provide attention, play, feeding, and care to ensure pets feel comfortable and happy. I am able to work pet care into my schedule by prioritizing consistency, communication, and making sure each pet receives the time and attention they deserve. I provide pet care with a focus on safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I have a cat of my own who I spend plenty of time playing with and caring for, while making sure his needs are always met. I keep my home clean, organized, and free of hazards, with anything potentially unsafe kept out of reach. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect their space and belongings, and treat their home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Louis took care of my pup while we were out of town. He did home drop-ins. He did a meet & greet ahead of time to get to know my pup, his routine, etc. Louis was great!! My pup loved him and felt comfortable with him. Louis sent us updates, communicated quickly, sent pictures, etc. This was helpful as we missed our boy so much! We would gladly use him in the future!”
“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!”
“Rachel was wonderful. My dogs were excited every time she visited. She left copious notes on what they were up to. She cleaned up any messes they made and kept them happy, healthy and safe.”
About: I've had cats since I was 2. Then we got a dog when I was 10. I take him for walks and throw a ball in the yard for him too play. I did go to my friend's house and take care of their dog while on vacation. I bathe and feed him and everything else. I also watched my grandma's dog when she went on vacation. I work Monday-Friday 7am-3pm. I have weekends off. If I have a baby sitter I wouldn't mind doing a weekend shift and a night shift We have a fenced in yard. They have food and water at all times. We have lots of toys for them to play with. We play all the time.
About: I have lived with cats and dogs my entire life. Taken care of neighbors’ and co-worker’s pets. Previously worked for a cat vet, so giving medications is not a problem. Recently retired and looking to stay busy! I currently live with three of my own dogs and I’m finding extra free time these days. Recently retired from law enforcement and looking to stay active with dog walking or drop-ins. Looking forward to decompressing and helping those who work long hours not worry about their pets!
“Murray was the best sitter we’ve could’ve asked for while we were away. He communicate daily and included photos and information about our fur babies. In fact, our shih-poos are two that don’t warm up to people immediately, but it was literally no time at all before Murray was treated like he was one of the family. He definitely has a way with establishing trust, nurture and genuine care shared in every visit.”
About: I am experienced in animal rescue, and therefore am familiar with all aspects from the routine, to special care for extremely young dogs, special medical, grooming or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Aquatic, Reptiles, Farm Animals, etc. Just reach out and ask if you have a need you don't see listed! I am currently self-employed, so I can work and care for your animals flexibly. Please reach out and let me know your details and scheduling needs! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to be companions to your pet. Or, if your pet is solitary, I can provide their own space to relax while you're away!
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.
About: I am experienced in walking, playing, and taking care of dogs. I will be playful, affectionate, and loving towards your dog and treat them with the best possible care. I previously have worked in a pet store driven more towards cats and dogs and had the best time! I take college classes during the day through the week and am looking for an enjoyable job about something I am passionate about. I would love to spend my free time with your pet! I will care for your pet in your home by using your provided supplies like food, bathing, and cleaning items. I love caring for animals and pampering them.
“Lauren was a wonderful sitter. She stepped in last minute after I had a cancellation and was so stressed about finding someone. She took great care of my 3 kitties and was great with communication. I very much appreciated the picture updates and detailed notes she left for me each day. I would highly recommend her services and look forwarded to booking her in the future.”
About: Hours of availability on the weekends, Friday 5pm-Sun 9pm. Possibly before 5 on fridays depending on location. I Love dogs, and have had 3 jack Russell terriers and 2 German short haired pointers and now 2 Labrador retrievers. I want to make it easy for pet owners to do things and not have to worry about their pet. I have also been in charge of the grooming(nails,bathing etc) since I was young. I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.

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

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.
