“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Sydney was amazing as always. We truly can enjoy any time away while Sydney is with our pups because we know they are in good hands. She always provides great updates and communication about her plans. We look forward to her watching our dogs again in a few weeks!”
“Alexandra was great! We got daily pictures and updates while we were away and she stayed with our dog and cat. She took great care of our house while staying here as well! We would definitely book her again in the future!”
“When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”
About: I have been taking care of sweet, precious pups since I was 7 years old when my mom surprised me and my brother with a basset hound puppy after school. Her name was Roxanne. A couple years later, we rescued a 6-year-old basset hound, Brandi, and a few years later, we rescued a 1-year-old beagle mix, Misty, and adopted a basset hound puppy, Willow, who had just been born on a farm near our house. We treasured our sweet babies, cooking for them every day - hard-boiled eggs for breakfast and meat and veggies for dinner. And they lived long, happy lives. Brandi, Misty, and Willow all made it to about 15 years old! I just moved from Colorado to start my PhD in Public Health at WashU, and I can't wait to pick back up with dog sitting again! In Colorado, I was the honorary dog sitter at my church. One couple even flew me out to California a few times to continue caring for their sweet pup after they moved! Between my own dogs and others' dogs, I've taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors who need lots of support. I am a PhD student at WashU Bursky School of Public Health. This semester, I have a class on the Danforth campus on Tuesdays from 9am to 12pm, Wednesdays from 12pm-1pm, and Thursdays from 1pm-4pm. My research is remote. So, I have lots of flexibility to make sure your pups get their potty breaks and play time and walk time, even on days that I have class. And house sitting would work super well :) I am offering house sitting, check-ins, and walks. If I am house sitting, I will always stay the night to make sure your pets are safe and well taken care of. I will keep the outer doors locked and make sure I am able to hear your pets if they need me. I am also happy to sleep in the same room with them if that is your preference. I will make sure to follow whatever schedule your pets need, e.g., eating, medicine, walking. As far as check-ins and walks, I will make sure to respect whatever rules you have for the house (e.g., shoes off, doors locked). I'm also happy to give your dogs a bath when they need it!
“Alec watched our three angels while we went our our honeymoon and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to do so. He did a phenomenal job with them and provided many pictures and updates. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be using him again.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 6 from my personal pets to my aunts or neighbors I’ve always cared for and adored animals. Caring for pets isn’t just “checking in” to me — it’s making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood while you’re away. I DO NOT PET SIT PITBULLS AND I DO CHARGE FOR DAMAGED PROPERTY CAUSED BY PET. I specialize in working with cats (especially shy, anxious, or independent ones who don’t warm up to everyone), but I also provide loving, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. With my background as a licensed pharmacy technician, I bring an extra level of attention to detail when it comes to medications, routines, and noticing small changes in behavior. Whether your pet needs basic care or a little extra support, I’ve got it covered. I also keep a small pet supply inventory on hand — so if you’re busy or forget something (food, litter, treats, etc.), I can help without it turning into a stressful situation. You’ll always get consistent updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, structure, and a lot of love. I am currently a stay at home mom, so your pets can get most of my undivided attention from me and my daughter who also adores animals. I do not have a fenced yard, but i have a big back and front yard definitely enough space for any pet to enjoy! I let my daughter play out there while I watch.
“Sarah was excellent!! She was a pleasure to plan with and a great communicator. She left the house clean and was resourceful when she needed to find things without my help. And of course she did a great job tending to and loving in our pups!! Would definitely book her again!!”
“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
“Charrell was great. I was so worried about leaving my dog with someone else while I was away but Charrell was very responsible, prompt, and such a great person overall. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Breanna did an amazing job at taking care of our 7 month old puppy!! This was our first time using the Rover app and she was so great at communication and very flexible. She was very kind and detail oriented. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Kristin is a delight!! I had serious issues leaving my dog with other Rover dog sitters, as my dog was viciously attacked by a large dog on a stay in a Rover dog sitting home. We decided to use a House Sitter Animal care specialist. Kristin is lovely and wonderful. I would definitely use her again. She took the best photo of my kitcat ever!!”
“Evelyn was very communicative and took very good care of our girl. Our senior dog has some quirks and special requests, and Evelyn had no issues, making our time away stress free.”
About: I have taken care of every breed of dog. Have worked in the industry for over 3 years and will have my dog cpr and first aid certification. I will be able full time to take care of your lovely dogs. I have experience in the doggy daycare industry for three years now. I will be able to come to your house where your dog feels like home and take care and love them and make sure they are ok.
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cool Valley
We had the pleasure of working with Isabelle for the first time to watch our pups while we were getting married! She was a phenomenal sitter! Despite my chaotic sparse instructions she rose to the challenge and went above and beyond to take care of our pups and keep us updated. We can't thank her enough for putting our minds at ease and taking care of the girls so we could focus on our special night. Would definitely recommend to anyone else and plan to schedule her again next time we need a sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cool Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,655 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cool Valley. 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 Cool Valley 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 Cool Valley 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cool Valley 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
