“Christine has helped me out a few times now. She is always very responsive and sends me cute pictures every time. My cat loves her which is a great sign! I airways feel comfortable with her checking in on him and my 16 year old dog. Thank you, Christine!”
“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'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!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Ellie, since I was 9 years old, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Along with raising Ellie, I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing outside, or just getting lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. Outside of class, I have availability for walks, drop in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dogs. I will always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide a safe, calm, and caring environment.
About: I have had 6 years of experience as a vet technician and 10 years of experience with pet sitting. I have always had a close bond with animals throughout my life. I am comfortable with administering medications and any special instructions a pet may need during my time sitting. I love sending updates throughout my visit if the parent would like to receive them. Currently, I am a dental hygiene student, which entails attending classes from the morning until late afternoon on weekdays. I typically dedicate my time to studying both weekdays and weekends, ensuring ample opportunities to spend time with your fur baby/babies I’m great at following instructions and making sure everything is done carefully during my visit. I always respect people’s space and privacy when I’m in their home. I’m also a very tidy person and will tidy up or clean anything I use or touch.
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of mostly dogs since I was a kid. I grew up raising dogs and showing dogs. We raised several breeds growing up. I have cared for puppies as well as adult dogs. I do teach full time, but am available after 4pm most days. My day starts at 7:10 so I could do a very early drop in or walk if needed. My weekends are very flexible and can be reliant on client needs. I am very conscientious of owner and pet needs. I will take of your pet like it is my own baby and follow care directions exactly.
“Bridget was amazing!! She is very calm and kind and my cats liked her right away! I have a senior cat who needs meds and other things and Bridget did everything he needed along with caring for my other 2 cats. She followed all instructions and loved on my kitties for 9 days and did a fantastic job!! I would absolutely hire her again!!”
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.

“Molly was a fantastic pet sitter for us while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of both cats, the high maintenance one and the hider. I would hire her again any time!”
“Reliable, dependable, and thoughtful. She never missed a day and always texted when she was with my babes. She always sent photos of the dogs afte the walk (I didn't even request any of this she's just that good). But it put my mind at ease knowing how well they were cared for.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cottleville
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! ❤️
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 $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 2,575 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
