“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”
“Paige did a great job with the house and 3 dogs for a week long assignment. I especially appreciated that she took out the trash and started the dishwasher before she left! I would recommend Paige to anyone needing someone to housesit with their dogs. Thanks Paige!”
“Heather is fantastic! We have an anxious dog that warmed right up to Heather and knowing that our dog and cat are in good hands while we are away, provides so much peace. Thank-you Heather!”
“Alex was super communicative, left our house as we left it, and was VERY caring w our pets. Usually our dog has big anxiety and depression when we leave but we came home to a happy and well taken care of boy! Cannot recommend enough and will be booking other dates w them in the future!”
“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”
“Rachel was amazing. She was very accommodating and communicative. She treated our pets like her very own and she is definitely a dog lover. We will definitely hire her again. Thank you Rachel!!”
About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.
“Sarah was an incredible sitter! She was more than accommodating with my frazzled self when it seemed like nothing was going as planned. She sent so many pictures and my girls loved her. I will definitely be booking with her in the future 😊”
About: Hi👋 I'm Jill. I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs & cats. I currently have two cats of my own. They were both strays and came into my life at different times. I love interacting with all types of animals. Since I can't have a dog of my own yet due to living situations, I would love to take care of yours! My sister and brother in-law have two dogs that I watch when they go out of town. One is a bigger 70 lbs Australian Shepard and the other is a smaller 10 lbs toy poodle. I hope to bring peace of mind to you and happiness & excitement to your pets. I work full time, but am available anytime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays most weeks. 6 a.m. is the earliest I'm available and 10:30 p.m. is the latest. Availability breakdown: Sundays- Before 11 a.m. after 5:30 p.m. Mondays- After 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Wednesdays- After 3:30 p.m. Thursdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Fridays- Before 8:45 a.m. after 7:30 p.m. Saturdays- 6 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. (Anytime) My two cats are grazers so they get fed twice a day and eat when they get hungry. They have a water fountain that circulates the water to mimick a stream. They seem to enjoy moving water better than still standing in a bowl. When I watch my sister & brother in-laws dogs I take them for walks twice a day and we play & cuddle. I work on tricks with them too. I normally use their dry food as treats if we work on tricks for a while.
“Grace immediately bonded with Quinn. Not only was she attentive to him, but she communicated regularly, took lots of pictures, offered to do laundry, and even changed the bedding before she left. Grace was approached by my next-door neighbor, a condo president (who frequently misunderstands his purview), in a verbally aggressive way. She handled herself admirably and made it clear she would not leave Quinn. I would book Grace again.”
“Madyson was great! She always responds and kept me up to date. Luna loved her from the beginning! She is normally scared but was drawn to Madyson almost immediately! The house was well kept and Luna was happy! I already have her booked for my next upcoming trip!”
“Great pet/house sitter. Rebekah did a great job with my pups, they got multiple walks, medication and instructions were followed properly. My house looked better after she left then it did before she got here!”
“Aubrey was a fantastic dog/house sitter! Our dogs were well cared for, our house was left clean, we received daily updates, and our more shy dog was very comfortable while we were away. I would highly recommend Aubrey!”
“Madeline was very patient with our dog as he was not use to her the first couple days and was very sketched out and timid. She took her time letting him get comfortable with her and did everything she could to make it work. By the end of their time together, they were besties! She did everything as instructed and we came home to the house the way we left it. She also sent us pictures daily of our pup and kitty. We will definitely be using her for future sitting and highly recommend her to others.”
“Bridget did a good job keeping me in the loop while house sitting with our pups. She shared pics and the dogs seemed to like her right off the bat. We will rebook soon.”
About: Hi! I am an extremely dog lover. I've had rescues for 13 years. I do have a dog 1.5yr old dog that loves other furry friends. My work is hybrid, so I can rearrange my days to be home if needed. Happy to care for your fur baby in my home, or if you prefer yours, I would need to be able to bring my dog along as well. Hybrid work schedule with a relatively flexible day to day. I am a homebody, so love just hanging out at the house teaching my dog new tricks. No kids in the home. My yard is unfenced, but easy to take short or long walks as needed. My dog is kenneled when I'm not home as well.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Earth City is $50

Rachel was a wonderful sitter! Our pet takes time to warm up to new people but Rachel was able to make progress with her even on our initial meet and greet. She was calm and patient as our dog warmed up to her. We returned home to a happy and well-cared for pet and lovely, clean home that barely even showed she had been there. We wouldn't have minded taking out trash, etc but she took care of that anyway! We will be happy to work with her again.
My dogs loved having Kat (Aleida) stay at my house and she was very communicative. I told her I liked any pictures so she sent me a ton and kept me updated of anything noteworthy. The boys were happy and healthy and the house was just as I left it. Would hire again
Ana did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and cats while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in great hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals, and it was clear they received lots of love and attention during our trip. She also took great care of our home, and everything was just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter. We would absolutely book Ana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!
When we initially planned our vacation I was VERY worried about dog care. I looked into several pet sitters but decided my dogs needed to stay at home. We do not crate our dogs at home and I really didn't want them in a crate somewhere unfamiliar. Then we found Billie on Rover and decided to give her a try. She has been great!! We went on a 2 week vacation and she did a wonderful job keeping us informed as to how things were at home. Our dogs are spoiled and I'm a worrier so receiving her frequent texts giving me updates was much appreciated! I could tell by the texts she was spending a great deal of time with our pups. She also did a great job with our home. I definitely recommend Billie to anyone needing a pet sitter. She is a 5 star pet sitter!! This means we can have more dog-free vacations:)
Absolutely amazing experience! She took the best care of my dogs! She treated them like her very own! She took great care of my house and even washed my towels. I’ll most definitely be using her service again. My dogs loved her! ❤️ I can’t thank her enough for putting my mind at ease while I was gone.
Bryant is a star house sitter! He's good with my dogs when I observe them together, and I know he's like that when I'm gone. I was 2,000 miles away, when Bryant notified my dogs were ill. He didn't hesitate to promptly call and take them to my vet. He kept me updated. My dogs are basically fine now. I hope to Use Bryant agaìǰ̣
The first time Aaliyah met my dogs they instantly took to her. I confirmed my booking with her immediately because I could tell how comfortable they were with her already. She took great care of my house and I was sent multiple pictures a day which put my mind at ease. Even in the snow, she took my energetic girl out to play ball. Although Aaliyah had to cancel part of her stay I was able to make everything work and I appreciate the time she was able to spend with them. I would recommend her to anyone and I will be rebooking with her in the future.
Charlotte and Wouter were wonderful. Between the time I scheduled them for my trip and when they came, I adopted 2 rescues totaling 4 dogs! They graciously agreed and we moved forward. What a great job they did. They stayed closely in touch, sent pictures often and my dogs were in great shape and happy when I returned. My 4 include 2 puppies which keep things pretty busy around here. They took everything in stride. I can’t recommend Charlotte and her husband, Wouter, enough. They are terrific!

FAQs for House Sitting - Earth City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Earth City on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,676 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Earth City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Earth City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Earth City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Earth City 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
