“We couldn't be happier with the overnight care Louann provided for our dog. Being new to town and nervous about onboarding someone new, she proved to be reliable, communicative, and flexible when our plans had to change last minute. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. We have already booked with her again and highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kim and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. She sent us so many photos and updates throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Stella is slow to warm up to new people, but she took to her right away, which says a lot. Even our cat Romeo, who is extremely shy, eventually came around too. It was clear all 4 of our pets were very comfortable and well cared for. We’re so grateful for how attentive and thoughtful she was, and we would love to book with her again in the future!!! Thanks again Kim!”

“Got it—here’s a draft: We had a wonderful experience with [Name] during a drop-in visit with our dog, Finn. She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated the whole time. Since we were from out of town, she even shared great local recommendations for places to eat and things to do nearby. Her thoughtfulness made everything so much easier, and we’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, kind pet care.”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their usual routines so they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet’s personality and energy level, making sure they get the attention and care they need. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility during the day for drop-in visits and check-ins. I’m fully available after 4:30 on weekdays. I’m also fully available on weekends, so I can offer complete care during Saturday and Sunday. I follow care instructions closely, keep homes tidy, and make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for. I’m respectful of your space and will always communicate updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“I seriously cannot recommend Angela enough!! I needed a last minute dog sitter while I was in Cancún for a few days and she truly came through. She was kind responsive and so easy to work with which immediately put me at ease. She sent me the sweetest pictures of my dogs while I was away and you can tell she genuinely cares and treats your pets like her own. My dogs were happy comfortable and so well taken care of. Angela is trustworthy dependable and incredibly kind. I’m so grateful I found her and will definitely be booking with her again. If you’re considering her do it your pets will be in amazing hands 🤍”

About: Hi! I'm a CPR and First Aid Certified pet sitter with over seven years of experience providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs. Whether you're traveling for work, taking a vacation, or simply need an extra helping hand, my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. Most of my pet sitting experience has come through referrals and repeat clients, and I'm excited to expand my services through Rover I offer overnight pet sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting services. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, aquatic animals, and other small mammals. I am comfortable with puppies and kittens, senior pets, special-needs animals, multi-pet households, and breeds of all sizes and energy levels. As a former volunteer with a dog rescue nonprofit, I have experience working with pets that require extra patience, structure, and individualized attention. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they receive the best possible care while you're away. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is keeping owners connected to their pets. I provide regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family members are doing and enjoy your time away with confidence. I pride myself on being dependable, punctual, communicative, and respectful of your home. I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or well-being and will always keep you informed if concerns arise. I treat every pet as if they were my own and genuinely love building relationships with the animals and families I serve. I look forward to meeting you and your special family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I intentionally maintain a flexible schedule so I can provide dependable, attentive care for the pets and families I work with. I am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, as well as overnight pet and house sitting. When caring for your pet, I prioritize their needs and work to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, evening feedings, medication administration, or extra cuddle time, I strive to provide consistent, personalized care that helps your pet feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I schedule my commitments carefully to ensure that every pet receives the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. My goal is to provide peace of mind for owners and a positive, stress-free experience for their pets. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment by keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, household rules, and any special care needs to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they are accustomed to. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and behaviors so I can provide individualized care. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I adapt my approach to meet their needs. Safety is extremely important to me. I am CPR and First Aid Certified, remain attentive during walks and outings, monitor for changes in behavior or well-being, and maintain a clean, secure environment. I am especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, and other factors that help keep pets safe while their owners are away. I also understand the trust involved in welcoming someone into your home. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, keeping spaces clean, secure, and following all household instructions. Throughout your time away, I provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected with your pet and have peace of mind knowing they are receiving attentive, loving care.

About: I have a gentle and loving spirit. I accept all animals into my world. The more the better! I have a lot of love to give. I work part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with all the pets. I love being outside and going for walks and spending time with animals as much as I can. Whenever I'm with any pets, they have my full attention and care. I'm happy to sit with pets as long as needed and give them the love and care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, as well as provide plenty of love and attention. At home, I’ve cared for my own pets daily ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well groomed. I also volunteer with the SMU feral cat community, helping feed, monitor, and care for stray cats on campus. My experience spans from puppies and kittens to senior pets, and I’m comfortable with all temperaments and sizes. Schedule: I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for cats throughout the day. I regularly help care for SMU’s feral cat community, so I’m used to feeding, socializing, and checking on cats at different times. I’m available for visits and drop ins most weekdays after 2 PM and weekends all day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet and always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure spaces are secure, remove hazards, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. I currently have a puppy (a bichonpoo) and understand the importance of both love and structure. My motto is “life is too short let them sleep on the bed,” but I also believe discipline is key in shaping well behaved dogs. I’m happy to bring my puppy along for companionship if approved, but I always ask first since I respect that every pet and owner has different boundaries.

I have a fenced yard for your fur baby to play in. I also have a male (neutered) dog who just turned two. He’s very friendly and trained! I have a large crate if your pet needs to be crated for any reason, otherwise they are welcome to snuggle on my couch or bed with me!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Collinsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,362 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Collinsville. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
