About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets whenever needed. As a college student with high availability, I can house sit Mondays after 12pm, Tuesday-Thursday after 3pm, and anytime Friday through Sunday as one needs! I prioritize your pets safety and comfort through constant supervision, secure routines, and open communication. I will carefully follow your specific home rules, maintain your exact feeding schedules, and provide frequent photo updates to ensure total peace of mind. Your home will remain clean and respected, and your furry family member will receive undivided attention, love, and dedicated care in their own familiar environment.
“Ruth was phenomenal! I was concerned about leaving my recently adopted dog while I traveled for 12 days, but he thrived under Ruth’s care. I appreciated the Rover note from every visit. I will definitely have Ruth care for Gibbs when I travel!”
“Cara was able to come by to let out my two little boys on shorter notice. The dogs loved playing with her and her kids. I much appreciated the ease of scheduling. Your animals will love her coming by, you won’t regret it!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl, and I grew up with them in my home, I treat every animal as if they are my own! I work 12 hour shifts, but I have a consistent schedule so I have days off during the week and every other weekend off to help ease your mind with letting your pet out for breaks or a nice walk! I have a fully fenced in yard with two dogs, I have a French bulldog named Winston and an English bulldog named meatball. Both of my boys are very friendly.
“Lindsay and her kids loved on our boys so much while we were gone! They went above and beyond and played extra with them too. We loved getting our text and photo updates for each visit. It made us feel at peace knowing they were getting so much attention while we were out of town. Highly recommend booking for any furry needs!”
“Bryan and Kellee are the best! We have one incredibly mean and difficult cat that requires insulin, the other is incredibly shy and hides with strangers. So it was really important that we made the right choice for care when we were gone for 2 weeks overseas. We thought about taking our diabetic cat to boarding but knew she’d prefer to be at home. I loved that they could administer insulin to a grumpy cat! Both of my cats did so well with Bryan and Kellee! They both are cat whisperers and I would definitely let them watch my fur babies again. Thank you so much!”
“We could not be happier with the care our dog received. Excellent communication and easy breezy. One of our dogs has never eaten while out of town and he eats with Angela. That says everything you need to know!”
“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!”

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!
“Jordyn did an excellent job. She has very patient and loving to our sometimes skittish and bashful kitty. She even got her to come from under the bed and play. Also, Jordyn took my trash out and wiped down the kitchen counters, great job, thanks you very much. I will definitely call Jordyn the next time we are away. I appreciated all you did.”
“Melissa was great! She was extremely attentive to our dog and was always on time (if not early). We will certainly be using Melissa again in the future! Thank you!”
About: I grew up around large breeds. At 22 years old, I started house sitting. After getting married and adopting 4 children, our large dogs that were litter mates passed away from old age. They are ready to have a dog in the house again. We work from home regularly and have plenty of time and people to spoil your pup. Our dogs were trained with a trainer that also trained police dogs. I'm happy to assist if you would like your dogs to have better manners. Typically we get up in the morning and feed the dogs, according to their regular schedule. I do school drop off and come back to the house for morning walks. Since we work from home we have plenty of time for potty breaks. We have a 1 acer property with a fence around the pool. We are also close to a trail if your dogs prefer the nature scene. We have a crib mattress for your dog to sleep on. If you require a crate, please bring one at the time of drop off.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Cottleville is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottleville
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

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. 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 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.

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 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.
