“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Haley is a phenomenal dog sitter, we were extremely pleased with her attention to detail and gentleness with our very shy and excitable pit bull. She is a wonderful communicator and spent a lot of quality time with our dog. I will absolutely refer her as a pet sitter to any friend in need.”
“She was simply great! We have 2 fluffy huskies and one is diabetic, which means that has a VERY rigid and strict schedule and also requires injections. Taylor was on point with updates via texts and followed every single direction we have her. Absolutely amazing job! We'll be coming back to her 100%”
“Heather is amazing! This is the second time that we hired her to watch our two dogs while we were away. Our 5 year-old border collie had (his first) grand mal seizure while outside with her and she was calm and reassuring all while protecting his head from the concrete. She reached out to ask me if he had ever had a seizure (which to our knowledge he had not had) and after talking I told her I would check our Ring camera to see if it recorded it. Sure enough the whole thing was recorded and we were so grateful with how well Heather handled Marlo. On top of that Heather had to clean up after our GSD had diarrhea in the house (likely stress) and worked hard to leave everything clean and neat. We highly recommend her and will definitely request Heather to stay here next time- but hopefully for a less eventful visit!”
“Ashley was amazing with our fur baby. We has a family wedding and a couple change in plans. She was very accommodating to our needs as well as our dog. She sent us pics and kept us updated on what he was doing. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!”
About: I have a lot of experience with dog sitting and walking because of families that needed help with their canine friends while they were away for long periods of time. I have also had to give a dog shots of insulin everyday because of her diabetes so I am comfortable with medicine and needles if needed. I have also had the opportunity to walk dogs around multiple parts of St. Louis so I know the city and it’s roads very well. My availability is mostly flexible. I love dogs and want to continue to care for them. I will provide your dog with unlimited care, treat him/her as if they were my own, and love them unconditionally. I understand that dogs are a part of the family and deserve the best care.
“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!”
“Laura was fantastic! She was very response and sent daily updates, which put our minds at ease. She left our home clean. I would definitely use Laura again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Alex and Christina were very sweet. They sent lots of updates and spent a lotttt of time with our separation-anxiety cat while we were away for the week, and she seemed perfectly content when we returned home! We were glad to have them to help us!”
“Emma was absolutely wonderful with our dog Jack. He is an old guy who was not doing well and she went above and beyond making him comfortable. We highly recommend Emma. She is really super.”
About: Fortunately, I was born into an animal loving family so I was blessed to have and care for animals of all kinds. Includes but not limited too: hermit crabs, gerbils, fish and more. Since birth I’ve been fascinated about learning how to care for all animals especially mammals/dogs. I truly believe that dogs are a humans best friend and I’ve been potty training, house training, walk training and more since having my first fur baby Tyra (full blooded German Sheppard) at the age of 12 who just passed this last year. I’ve been rescuing animals since I can remember and I’ve been volunteering at shelters and in the community since middle school. Pets are truly my passion & I believe in caring for those who are sometimes unable to care for themselves. If God grants me the opportunity, I would be more than honored and grateful to care for your fur baby as well. Thank you for your time & consideration. Fortunately, I was blessed with a work from home job so I can give most of my time, attention & affection to the fur babies I need. With my own fur baby and when I baby sit others we stick to our schedule and routine throughout the day so they can be physically enriched and mentally stimulated; such as but not limited too 4-6 times of walking, a kiddie pool on hotter days, fruit and or peanut butter treats, new toys and more depending on the specific needs of your fur babies. Thank you for your time & consideration. Regardless of the environment pets are my passion and I will treat your fur babies like my own. Depending on the specific needs I’ll be more than happy to provide extra play time, extra treats or toys depending on trainings such as potty training or walk training so your pup no longer pulls you while you walk. I also don’t mind providing bath time, medications or even taking your pup to the vet or their favorite park for a pup play date. Lastly, I will be sure to provide hourly and or daily checkups so you can relax, unwind and have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy and is in blessed and gentle hands. Thank you for your time & consideration.
About: Animals have been my life since I was a child. Watching my mom take care of dogs at the local shelters and every animal she had taken care of in my childhood has left wonderful memories. Spending time with animals was always amazing because they felt more a part of the family. I’ve taken care of friends and family animals, and made wonderful bonds with them. I see my own pets as more than just animals, but as my own children and any pet that I take care of that’s not mine I treat as if they are. I recently moved to this state so currently this will be my only occupation until I find something else. Then I'll be part time care. always check in for any health and food necessities. Check and see if they are an indoor or outdoor animal to be more prepared for walks.
“Brittney took care of our frenchie for a whole week. It was our first time leaving our rescue alone so our worries were high initially but her communication was great and our dog took to her well. She followed our dog guide, sent plenty of pictures and ensured vinci was comfortable while we were away. We came back to our house even cleaner than we left it alongside a kind note. Would highly recommend Brittney!”
About: I am a reliable and patient person I have a lifelong connection to dogs. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, with a flexible schedule, I'm just 5 minutes from home so I can take my lunch break to give your fur baby a potty break. Perfectly! I do work full - time, with a very flexible schedule I'm just 5 minutes from home so if I need to leave to take you fur baby out for a walk or potty break that will not be an issue. I have a fenced yard for your fur baby to run and play around in or I can easily crate your fur baby if needed.
“Sara was absolutely amazing! She communicated well and kept me updated, she took great care of our home and doggos, and I am very much looking forward to having her come again! A++ human with a great energy and love for animals!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edmundson
Thank you so much Alex and Christina. They are the best. We've had them watch our pugs every time we are out of town and we wouldn't be able to enjoy our vacations worry free without them. They take the best care of our dogs and always send tons of photos and updates and we come home to a clean home! Thank you so much for all that you do.
This is our first time having Cynthia house sit our dog for us. Cynthia is a wonderful sitter! Our dog has separation anxiety and is on a special diet. Cynthia communicated with us when necessary, followed all of our instructions and sent great pictures daily. Our dog felt comfortable with Cynthia and he was well cared for. We would highly recommend her!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Edmundson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,688 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edmundson. 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 Edmundson 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 Edmundson 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 Edmundson 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.
