“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”
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. 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
“Cristin was so great!! Very communicative, took pictures with every visit/provided detailed updates, and did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. Would definitely rebook with her in the future ☺️”
“We are so thankful to have found such a great person and pet sitter. Mallory has provided care for our 2 kitties multiple times. We never have a doubt that they’re in good hands when we’re away.”
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.
About: I grew up in the country and have spent my whole life around animals—dogs, cats, and even horses. I currently share my home with a young Australian Retriever who keeps me active and entertained. I also recently cared for my senior dog through several years of diabetes that required twice-daily insulin, so I’m very comfortable with medication routines and supporting pets with special needs. I work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m available on weekdays and most weekends, so it’s easy for me to fit consistent, reliable care into my schedule. My priority is making pets feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow your routines closely - feeding, walks, and medications are all done exactly the way your pet is used to. I keep doors secured, double-check leashes and harnesses before every walk, and pay close attention to each pet’s body language so they never feel stressed or rushed. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.
“Christine so reliable, trustworthy and easy to work with when you need an extra hand. She loves animals, and might even sneak in some kitty pets if they are allowed.”
“Ruth was very professional and did the job well. She fed my pet, cleaned out the litter and also generously offered to water the plants while she was there. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“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!”
About: I've had dogs as pets ever since I was a child. I've been a dog sitter for several years for my parents' dog, my daughter's dog, and my neighbor's dog. I currently work part-time, and have extra time to walk and play with your dog! My schedule is very flexible, so I can be available most times. I can easily care for your dog, including feeding, watering, walking, and petting, snuggling, and playing with. I love dogs and love being around them!
“McKenna was able to drop in for my puppos on a late request to save the day!! She was very quick with responses and punctual on visit. My boys were grateful for the fresh air and bathroom break as I was gone most of the day! Will continue to call on McKenna when needed! Thanks!!”
About: I have over five years of experience caring for and sitting dogs, along with hands-on experience raising my own puppy. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all ages and sizes, including high-energy pups who need plenty of playtime and structure. I’m familiar with crate routines, potty training, and reinforcing good behavior, and I always follow each dog’s unique schedule and needs. I’m also able to manage specific feeding routines, medications, and any special care instructions to ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time on weekdays, but I’m fully available for pet care after 5 PM. This allows me to provide evening walks, drop-ins, or overnight care during the week. I’m also completely free on weekends, giving me plenty of time to focus on your dog with lots of attention, playtime, and consistent care. Whether you need weeknight help or full-day weekend support, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule. Your pup’s safety comes first! I live in a dog-friendly apartment with a fully fenced dog park for safe play and a quiet, friendly neighborhood perfect for long walks. I make sure every dog feels happy, secure, and loved while in my care.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. Taking care of them has been one of the greatest privileges I’ve had. I am always helping out and trying to train them! I also love taking care of my friend's pets as well. My dog is currently 11, so I’m comfortable with senior dogs as well. I have a part time job, so I have a lot of free time! I usually have mornings, afternoons, and evenings where I can work around my schedule. I have a very safe environment for my pets at home. I am able to follow any instructions or special accommodations your pets may need! I am willing to walk, play, feed, and give your pets all the love and care they want and need!
“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.”

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!

Pam and Dave were absolutely outstanding pet sitters—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the start, their communication was warm, professional, and incredibly reassuring. The updates they sent were not only detailed, but genuinely delightful to read—full of personality and little touches that showed how much they truly cared. The photos they took of our cat Gus went far beyond anything we expected. They didn’t just snap a quick picture—they captured his personality, his moods, and all those little moments that made us feel like we were right there with him. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention (on his terms, of course!). Pam and Dave truly went above and beyond in every way. They treated Gus with so much care and respect, and that kind of attention is priceless when you’re away. We came home to a calm, happy cat and complete peace of mind. We would trust them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cottleville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,642 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cottleville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.

- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
