“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
“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.”
About: I've grown up around animals. Ive wanted a cat since I knew they existed, and since getting my first cat, I've taught him to sit, sit pretty, high five, and jump through hoops. Currently fostering a second with a compromised immune system, so I am no stranger to anxious pets, or pets with a complex care system. I work a part time job and have classes from 8-12 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ive got my own cats, so ill spend at least hour and a half or so each day spending time with them and doing chores at home, anything else is free time to spend with your pet. Ive got lots of energy to play with your dog and love to cuddle. I can keep a steady schedule with food, bathroom, play, etc. Also able and willing to do grooming like tooth brushing, baths, and other procedures.
“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
“Jess stayed with our dog and cat and took such thoughtful care of both. They were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her the entire time. Her communication was perfect - checking in when needed and sending great pictures that gave us total peace of mind. Coming home to calm pets and a tidy house was wonderful. We would absolutely book her again.”

“Michael is the absolute BEST dog watcher we have ever had. He just did everything perfectly. He is very dependable and I did not have to worry about a single thing while I was away from my dog. He sent me a lot of photos and he was so good with my dog. I got home and she was so happy. I know she had fun. I will use him going forward for everything. He’s incredible!”

I take animal care seriously, providing consistent, loving, and responsible attention, including any needed medical care.

To provide the best experience, I would need to know your pet's daily routines, medication requirements, and any other special needs.
“Zach was amazing with Acacia, she’s super timid and he was very patient with her. I loved receiving photos and updates from him, and he really eased my mind while I was away from Acacia. I hope to work with Zach more in the future! 10/10 service. He also left the house exactly as we asked!”

Grace did an amazing job watching my cat and dog for 5 days even when asked on a shorter notice than I typically like to ask people. She came over within a few days for a meet and greet prior to watching my pets. She sent me updates and responded in a timely manner. I will definitely be using her for any future dog/cat sitting needs!
Over the years, I’ve had several great sitters who've grown up and moved on to big-girl jobs and busy lives. They still help out when they can, but their availability keeps getting more limited, so I’ve been looking for someone I can count on, and I’m so glad I found Heather. She house-sat for my two cats, Winston and Monkey, on short notice this weekend. I’m always a little nervous trying someone new, but she came over beforehand to meet the boys and immediately put me at ease. Winnie had his shots the day before I left, so I felt a little guilty leaving him. Heather’s updates were wonderful. She commented on all their weird little quirks, which told me they felt safe and comfortable enough with her to just be themselves. It meant so much to know they weren’t stressed while I was gone, and that both boys were happy and relaxed when I got home. Thank you, Heather! I’m already looking forward to having you back.
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.
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:)
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

FAQs for House Sitting - Earth City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Earth City is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $55 per night. 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 1,626 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Earth City. 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.
