“I was so worried about my cat getting an oral medication from someone other than me as he is really scared around strangers, however, they did such an amazing job. It allowed me to enjoy my weekend without worrying about my kitty.”
“Charity helped us out with a last min booking! She was amazing! Her personality and caring attitude towards our babies made us feel at ease! I will be booking her again! ❤️”
“Emily was an absolute gem.💎 she was very responsive and kept me in the loop. It was very reassuring to have my pet stay home in his quiet environment rather than the loud kennel”

About: I have cared for multiple families’ pets starting in high school. I have cared for dogs, cats, and multi-pet households. I have experience with newborn kittens, and insulin administration to cats. I have a 3 year old cat named Penguin and have lived with big dogs my whole life. I work at an urgent care on varying days of the week. I am looking to make some extra money to pay down student loans. I will only take jobs that will not overlap with my other job because I work 12 hour shifts. I will do my best to meet the needs of your animals and their daily routines. I can spend quality time with your pet, trim nails, brush them, give treats, or any other special requests.
“Kirsten is always excellent to work with! She helped us tremendously this last time on a very short notice. She takes great care of our cat and communicates perfectly. Many thanks!”
“Lindsay was great with Bella! She scheduled an initial meet and greet and, during her following visit, allowed Bella to warm up to her slowly. By the end of the visit, Bella allowed Lindsay to pet her, which is impressive for this dog! Lindsay is a very kind and responsive individual - we give her the highest possible recommendation!”
“Holli did a great job of caring for our pets and home while we were gone. If she had a question she didn’t hesitate to ask for clarification. We will definitely be requesting her to watch our pets in the future!”

“Jaclyn is definitely good with pets and I would highly recommend her services. She instantly bonded with my cat and spend time with him while I was away. She also brought some toys which my kitty enjoyed (and still does). Jaclyn also visited before I left on my trip show I could show her around. She also provided very extensive reports and photos of her visits.”
About: Hi there! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have been around cats/dogs my whole life, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats! I currently have a dog and a puppy of my own. I am a school speech therapist who is off work for the summer. I would love to make some new furry friends and to help ease your dog mom/dad guilt while you’re vacationing or at work. I will treat your babies as my own, whether it’s giving them snuggles while you’re away, taking your furry friends for a walk or just stopping by to say hello! I understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies. I value open communication and will send you updates with pictures while you are away or busy! If you are interested or have any questions please reach out to me. I’d love to set up a meet and greet :) I am on summer break from work so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to my daily schedule. I am a night owl so I have availability during the night as well. I have a lot of pet experience and would love to provide long walks and visits with your pet while you’re at work or have plans!
“We will absolutely use Angela again next time we go out of town and can’t take our pups! She was very communicative with each visit and we really appreciated that after our last time using a different person that left us worried. Our dogs took to her (and her sons!) right away and seemed to have fun playing on their visits. Thanks again 😊”
About: When your pet stays with us, they’ll never be short on love, attention, or care. My fiancée and I work together as a team, so your furry family member always has someone nearby to meet their needs. Our home provides a safe, active, and welcoming environment, complete with a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of supervised play and exercise. Whether your dog loves to run, cuddle on the couch, stay by your side every minute, or requires medications and specialized care, we’re experienced and comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities and needs. Our family includes children who genuinely love animals and enjoy giving pets extra affection, playtime, and companionship. We treat every guest like one of our own, providing personalized care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your best friend is in experienced, caring hands. We can’t wait to meet you and your special companion! Caring for pets is a natural part of our everyday life. I have a flexible work schedule, and my fiancée is a stay-at-home mom, which means your pet is rarely left alone and always has someone nearby to provide care, attention, and companionship. Our daily routine revolves around spending time with the pets in our home—whether that’s supervised playtime in our fenced backyard, relaxing indoors, feeding, walks, cuddle time, or maintaining their normal routine. The only times one of us typically steps away are for brief school drop-offs, pick-ups, or our children’s sports activities, and those outings are usually short. Because someone is almost always home, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, personalized attention, medication if needed, and plenty of love throughout the day. We strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and like they’re part of our family during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our highest priorities. Our home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy under supervision. Inside, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the couch, enjoy plenty of cuddles, or simply find a cozy spot to unwind. For dogs who are crate trained or prefer having their own quiet space, we have additional crates available where they can relax with their favorite blanket or toy. With a two-story home, a finished basement, and multiple living areas, we’re able to accommodate a variety of personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves being in the middle of the action or needs a calmer environment while they settle in, we can provide a space where they feel safe and comfortable. Every pet is different, and we take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so we can provide personalized care throughout their stay. Our goal is for your pet to feel like they’re on their own vacation while you enjoy yours with complete peace of mind.
About: I currently own 2 dogs and have grown up with dogs my whole life! We are on a very good schedule with eating, potty, and walking. I am used to about a 30 minute walk with my dogs so I’m willing to take them however far they want. I love dog cuddles and playing fetch. I live with all my pets and am responsible for caring for them everyday. I can walk, play, and feed on a schedule very well I will strictly follow a schedule if you were to give me one and make sure your animals are well taken care of every day
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Rachel. She went above and beyond with making sure my pup was well taken care of and pampered and gave such detailed updates on her visits. Her communication was impeccable! Rachel goes above and beyond and loves your pets as if they were her own. 10/10 would recommend.”

Hannah was a pleasure to have take care of our pups while out of town. She was prompt with her arrival, followed instructions, and went above and beyond expectations. She updated us at every visit, made notes at the meet and greet, and sent adorable photos! We will be booking Hannah again in the future!
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!
Ruth is hands down my favorite dog sitter ever. Even my skeptical dog warms up to her and jumps on her lap for love. She sends me pics while I am away on business trips and lets me know my dogs are safe and loved. Every time I come home I can tell they are healthy and have been well taken care of . I will always call on Ruth for my doggo needs! She is a true animal lover and will always take the best care of your pets
Dawn was amazing as a sitter for my pups! She is incredibly professional, responsive and loving with my dogs. I will definitely be using her again in the future. My dogs love her and her excellent care for my babies allowed me to really unplug from any worry about being away from them. Thanks Dawn!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cottleville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 dog, 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.
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.

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.
