“Hannah has been a terrific sitter for our new pup. Prompt and informative communication, always leaves multiple photos and comments, highly reliable, and she’s clearly knowledgeable about dogs, kindly offering tips and suggestions when asked.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. From tiny puppies to big adventure buddies, I’ve always been the one in charge of walking them, caring for them, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Since I was young, I’ve helped care for family and friends’ dogs, and I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience with puppies along the way. I truly love dogs, and I’d be excited to give yours the same attention and care I give my own! I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday, and I’m usually done by 12 PM, which means I have lots of free time to spend with your pets! 🐾My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and making sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention. Outside of work, I love spending time with animals, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Whether your pup needs a midday adventure, some company while you’re away, or just someone to spoil them with belly rubs and treats, I’m happy to help! 🐶🐱💛 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 Since I live in an apartment, I’ll be providing care in your home and taking your pets on walks rather than bringing them to my place. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet stays in a safe and comfortable environment. For walks, I’ll always keep your pet’s safety in mind by using their leash properly, paying attention to our surroundings, and following any special instructions you provide. I also want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, so I’ll take the time to build trust, give them plenty of attention, and make their time with me as happy and stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱💛
About: I have dropped in and walked so many different dogs. My best case was a dog that needed to be let out and was scared of men. I sat with her for 30 minutes allowing her to get comfortable with me, and by the end of our time together loved seeing me! I am a student teacher and end work everyday at 2:20. I coach volleyball every once in awhile, but it is routine every week and only a couple hours. I can not have any pets in my home. When I go to your home I am very respectful of your privacy. I always give your pet time to get used to me.
“This was my first time with Tonia and she was wonderful and my dogs loved her! Great communication and lots of updates. It’s hard to be away but comforting to know my pups are so well taken care of!”

“Melody was amazing and will absolutely book her again in the future! Work for me is crazy busy and even when I wasn’t able to respond right away, I really appreciated the frequent and thoughtful updates on how our kitties were doing!”

I am experienced and comfortable washing, brushing and clipping pawnails, from my small terriers to my Rotties. I am a confident walker with a redirect/treat bag for larger or “busy” dogs. My dogs have been with me from puppy to passing. i am a current domestic worker as i recently retired from govt contract work. i have no specific schedule and am able to accommodate almost any schedule as i have no set obligations. i would be giving sole attention to your fur-members. i have a large fenced in backyard with grass and shade, a large covered back patio, safe clean neighborhood to walk w/a small interior park. i have mostly tile floor w/some areas rugs, and a carpeted basement. i have dog friendly specific clean bowls for drinking and eating, and can provide a raised serving platform for tall or older dogs.

About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes ! I love doing basic training with them . Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets , in my career as a licensed esthetician, I’ve developed patience, reliability, strong attention to detail, and the ability to provide personalized care qualities that also make me a dependable pet sitter. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply keeping pets company, I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own. I love to do house sitting / boarding , your dogs will get lots of one on one attention, walks and more ! I usually only work 30 hours a week so I have plenty of time to care for your animals,available on weekends , I work around 4 days a week sometimes it can be up to 9 hours. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly Husky of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs and talented escape artists! I’m always extra mindful when opening doors, using leashes, and making sure pets are secure at all times. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I would my own. If your dog stays with me, they’ll have access to a fully fenced yard for supervised play, a friendly Husky companion if they’re comfortable with other dogs, and a crate available if they prefer or are crate trained. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay. I have lots of experience with high energy dogs , puppies and senior dogs :) I of course will send pics / vid updates .
About: Growing up in a home with multiple dogs, a cat, and many small animals at once I can now provide the best care for your loved ones. I am currently attending Maryville University where I am majoring in interior design and minoring in business administration while also running track. I am looking for a flexible schedule where I can help support pet owners in the area, while also getting the opportunity to be around animals since I can’t have my own. I can handle many situations based on your wants/ needs whether that’s letting your dogs out into an electric fence or taking them on walks. I also know how to make sure your pets are safe and secure when leaving your home.
“Jacqueline was an amazing dog sitter. She went above & beyond & our Sparky really grew to love her during their 3x a day for a week visit while in Jacqueline’s care. She provided us with photos & videos which meant so much to my children as they missed their dog while on vacation. I would hands down recommend Jacqueline & would absolutely use her services again.”

“Erica does so well with our dog, Duke. She checks in on him when our regular sitter is unavailable. She is very responsive and sends lots of photos of our pup while we are working. Highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been around dogs & cats my whole life taking care of them and I have a 3 year old and 4 month old fur baby right now! I will treat your baby like my own! When my family needs a pet sitter I’m usually the one they call! I currently work a full- time job but I am more than willing to keep your pup occupied while I’m at work if they stay with me if I do drop-ins I will do it before and after work! I do not have a yard but I am more than willing to bring your pup on walks and play fetch with them in my condo! I do have 2 female dogs that would love a friend to play with!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve owned dogs myself, helped care for neighbors’ pets, and walked friends’ dogs over the years. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I understand pets thrive on consistency, and I’m happy to work with your routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and live in a safe south-side neighborhood with plenty of room for walks and playtime. Whether your pet loves to be active or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like family.

About: I was raised by my granny and our neighborhood knew her as Granny Doolittle! She was the most nurturing person I knew and she gave me the love of animals! No matter what type of animal I brought home, she never said no and trust me we had our fair share of different types of animals. There is no better love than furry friend love. So, obviously I’ve had numerous animals; in fact I had a cat that was 22 when she passed and a German Shepherd that was almost 16 when she passed. I also fostered a chihuahua that was not able to be adopted because he was so scared, it took me a few months to bring him to trust again and he was adopted by a great family. I guarantee that your furry friend will have fun, be loved and nurtured while he/she is with me. I’m retired so I have plenty of time! I can watch over your animal friends anytime of the day or evening. I can also stay at your home. I have a fenced yard and two dogs. They are allowed on the furniture in our finished basement where we spend most of our time.

“This is the second time Kim has cared for our dog and did a fantastic job. She is excellent with communication and our dog is well taken care of while we’re away. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have 4 cats and a 11 month old puppy morkie mix. They all get along so well which I think is a strong testament to how I've raised my pets to behave and coexist. I know how to take care of multiple pets at once and I know the work it takes to maintain cleanliness and patience with different animals and different energy levels. In the past, I've had older dogs I adopted and loved dearly, so I'm comfortable watching not only puppies with high energy and high needs like my current dog Daisy, but all dogs and cats too. Pet care is a part of my every day being a pet owner, whether it's waking up and taking the dog out first thing in the morning and several times a day, or making sure my cats and dog gets enough nutrients, and play time/enrichment, as well as plenty of attention. I'm available all week for pet care. I believe I'm a very intuitive person when it comes to feeling animals out. I respect their space (especially with cats) and I build based on their comfortability. I love animals so much and am happy to respect any rules in your household or help you may need with your loved one.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottleville
We've booked with a few people before on Rover in the past, and no one has been nearly as thorough in preparing as Hannah! She asked questions about things I had completely spaced to mention, and even kept notes. She took great care of our dog while we were away!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Alizee! She took such amazing care of our dogs and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly treated them like they were her own. She also kept an eye on our cat, which we truly appreciated. On top of that, she sent pictures and updates after every visit, which made us feel even more comfortable while we were away. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but she exceeded our expectations in every way. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter!

Ardyth is exactly the person you’d want to care for your pets while away! She was extremely patient and caring with my anxiety driven pup. When our routine didn’t work, she rerouted and did her very best to accommodate our Koda and with such love! Ardyth went above and beyond with giving us thorough updates of her drop-ins along with several photos. Would highly recommend her!!

Cristin was amazing with our two dogs. One of our dogs doesn't socialize well with new people but Cristin was able to get her to warm up to her and went above and beyond taking care of our dogs while we were gone. Even willing to spend extra time with them during a severe storm while we were gone. Would definitely recommend her care. Thank you, Cristin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Cottleville is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 2,503 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cottleville. 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.
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 Cottleville 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!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Cottleville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottleville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
