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 .
“It was my first time using Rover so I was little nervous, particularly that one of my dogs is older and has some health issues. Micheal S. Took excellent care of the pops , he was timely with his visits and both dogs were calm when I returned home, where in the past, they were nervous and little crazy! Definitely reliable caretaker , would use again and recommend!”
“Meg was great with our pups! She left a great summary of her visit. I especially appreciate her care of our deaf dog. We will definitely use Meg again to watch our pups. Thank you!”
“There were some miscommunication and timing issues, but after speaking with Emma, I truly feel she understood the problems and has learned from them. We will be using her again, if she’s willing to book with us!”
“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!”
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.

About: I started raising dogs at the age of 15, use to be a dog groomer so I know about nervous behavior, I have a dog of my own. I have a pretty open schedule on the weekends, after work I just chill with my dog and play with her, and spend some time with her outside. I tend to my clients pets as if they’re my own, under pet parent instructions of course ( as in if your pet needs medicine or special food)
About: Hi👋 I'm Jill. I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs & cats. I currently have two cats of my own. They were both strays and came into my life at different times. I love interacting with all types of animals. Since I can't have a dog of my own yet due to living situations, I would love to take care of yours! My sister and brother in-law have two dogs that I watch when they go out of town. One is a bigger 70 lbs Australian Shepard and the other is a smaller 10 lbs toy poodle. I hope to bring peace of mind to you and happiness & excitement to your pets. I work full time, but am available anytime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays most weeks. 6 a.m. is the earliest I'm available and 10:30 p.m. is the latest. Availability breakdown: Sundays- Before 11 a.m. after 5:30 p.m. Mondays- After 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Wednesdays- After 3:30 p.m. Thursdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Fridays- Before 8:45 a.m. after 7:30 p.m. Saturdays- 6 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. (Anytime) My two cats are grazers so they get fed twice a day and eat when they get hungry. They have a water fountain that circulates the water to mimick a stream. They seem to enjoy moving water better than still standing in a bowl. When I watch my sister & brother in-laws dogs I take them for walks twice a day and we play & cuddle. I work on tricks with them too. I normally use their dry food as treats if we work on tricks for a while.
About: I've always had a love for dogs and have always jumped at opportunities to dog sit for family and friends and I don't have a lot of experience with training but I can do basic training. I am currently working but I have a lot of down time and I love to work with dogs and make sure they are taken care of. I always make sure the dog has a trusting bond with me and is comfortable and well taken care of at all times night or day if needed.
“Our kitty Tucker was in good hands while we were out of town. We didn’t worry about a thing. The pictures and commentary provided after each visit gave us peace of mind.”
“Kim did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were away. She was prompt, played and entertained our dog, brought in our packages, and took down our trash cans. She is extremely professional and great at communicating. I appreciate that she actually uses the feature on Rover that shows where she walked our dog. She sent plenty of photos and gave great detail on the rover cards. I’d highly recommend Kim and will plan to use her services again should we need them. She even played with our dog out back with the water hose which he loves. Thanks Kim!”

About: I've had animals my whole life and currently have 3 dogs (2 huskies & a cattle dog, pit mix). I've had dogs, cats, a ferret, and some rodents growing up. I've always had a love for animals and have researched multiple animal topics on my own for many years! I worked in a vet office in the kennel for 2 years and have experience on the medical side. I trained my youngest husky all on my own, including kennel training, potty training, and obedience training, and grooming assistance. While I still have a full-time job until I get established I'll only be available in the evenings/nights for walks and overnights as I work 8-hour shifts at a time. Once I get established I will be available any time of day and any day of the week, except for maybe 1 or 2 hours on Wednesdays. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I always leave it how it was when I got there, if not better. I do my best to keep them in the same routine their owners have them in. I don't mind helping with other small tasks on the side for an extra fee.
“I cannot say enough how pleased we were with Tori watching two of our dogs while we went on vacation for 10 days. She was outstanding!!! Great communication!!! We got plenty of updates from her letting us know how things were going. We're going on another cruise in December and I've already gave Tori a heads up we'd like to have her again. I highly recommend Tori, but we've got dibs on her for the 2nd week of December.”
“Madison and Eric were great. Both our cats are not very social with new people, but towards the end one of them warmed up to them. They were great at following all the directions. We booked the service last minute however they were flexible and even did meet & greet fairly quickly.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Cottleville is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottleville
Kori is fantastic! She took great care of our pups while we were on vacay. My mom stayed home but wasn’t able to fully care for the pups flying solo and Kori was a tremendous help to her. I believe our pups loved her so much they weren’t even super excited when we came home!
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!

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.

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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.
