About: Hi! My name is Kori and I’m a former vet tech (with a degree) with many years of experience working with all kinds of animals. I love animals and treat them all like they were my own, my goal is to provide the absolute best experience for pets and their people! I’m currently available most days of the week, hours may vary but I’m generally fairly flexible! I will work with you to find a time that works. Between August 20th and May/June (the duration of the school year) I will be unavailable on weekdays between 10:30-2:30. I am currently open to doing drop ins in your home as well as dog walking. I may consider caring for pets in my home in the future but that would be on a limited case by case basis
“Kaylee was super communicative and the pups loved her! She took great care of the dogs and left the house neat and clean. Even our dog who is usually so shy around strangers loved her. Thank you!”
“We went out of the country for an extended weekend and Nadia took care of our older dog. She has become more high maintenance as she has gotten older and Nadia took care of everything that our little Allie threw at her! I’d definitely hire her again.”
“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.”
“Hannah did an amazing job with our two Aussies over the weekend. She came prepared, was always on time and very professional. She gave updates, photos and details every time they were in her care. Hannah will take great care of your fur babies!”
“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!
“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! ❤️”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I worked at my local vet in high school and took care of the animals that were being boarded as well as assisted in other tasks. Pets are family members and deserve to be treated as such. I have my nights, weekends, and holidays free so I'm available to make your pet as comfortable as possible with lots of love, playtime, and whatever else they might need. My wife stays at home full time and can help out with potty breaks. My kids are also able to assist with feeding, walking, and play time activities! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. I also have gates installed on both floors of my home for safety reasons in case your fur baby likes to dart out doors, etc. My house is also safety proofed so you don't have to worry about your pet getting into anything hazerdous or harmful.
About: I have worked with dogs for quite a while now, started off as a boarding attendant at kennelwood, then managed some group play at dogtopia. I do now work full time at a spa. But, I am looking forward to taking care of your pet rather that’s dog-walking, pet sitting! I do know how to administer medication, and care for senior pets! Questions? book with me today. This is a part-time thing for me. I work full time at a veterinary clinic! This is more of a monthly thing for me. I care for pets in clients home, same with drop-in’s and walks. I stay in contact with clients via text/call. I always provide pictures during the stay.

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
About: Hi! I’m Arturo, a responsible, active, and dependable caregiver with a strong background in leadership and coaching. I’ve spent years working with people in high-pressure environments as a soccer coach, which has taught me the importance of patience, communication, consistency, and attention to detail — qualities that also matter when caring for pets. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and understand that every pet has a different personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, structure, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to instructions, reliable with schedules, and committed to treating every dog like family. I’m also an active person, so I’m happy to provide walks, exercise, and engagement for high-energy dogs when needed. My goal is simple: give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. As an active person, I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a clean, safe environment where dogs can play and relax comfortably. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, exercise, and behavior preferences. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I make sure they receive patient, attentive, and reliable care while you’re away
“Rayna and Zach are absolutely terrific with my dogs. I was very nervous about introducing my 13 year old dog and new 3 month old puppy to strangers but they warmed up to them right away. Not only did they take care of their basic needs (food, water, bathroom), but they also took the time to teach my new puppy some essential tricks like not biting when he plays, being calm when entering the crate, etc. I come home every day with two tired, well behaved, and mess free pups. They have gone above and beyond my expectations and I am so lucky to have them taking care of my pups! I would recommend Rayna and Zach to anyone and everyone!!”

We absolutely loved having Pam care for Gus! The detailed updates and pictures were the best and really helped us feel connected while we were away. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Gus was. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they look after. We’re so thankful for the wonderful care and will definitely have them sit for Gus again! ❤️
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!
Elsie has been recovering from quite a tough time at the ICU (she almost died from kidney failure). We are very particular about leaving her, but we know Taro takes such good care of her that we were able to go out of town for a few days. He made sure she had her favorite water glass handy and gave her "lots of pets". He brushed her and she is so soft. She clearly was not traumatized by our absence. It was such a joy to arrive back home to a healthy, happy little girl cat. Taro is a such a blessing. Thank you!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cottleville is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 2,582 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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

- 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.
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.
