“Joy did a fantastic job taking care of our cats. She kept us updated about anything and everything. All of our cats enjoyed having g her around and would certainly have her watch them again.”
“Brandi is the best! She took notes on what needed to be done during the drop in and made sure to do them all (and some!). She was great about taking some photo updates and giving Copernicus plenty of attention before leaving. So happy we found her to watch our furbaby while we were gone!”
About: I have had all kinds of pets throughout my whole life, and absolutely love taking care of all animals. I have experience in pet sitting big and small dogs, including cats. Additionally I have pet sat for animals who need extra care and attention. I am a college students and have a very flexible schedule, so we can discuss and communicate any times that you would need a sitter! I have good experience with crating, leashing, and walking large dogs, and have always done very well. I can easily accommodate to any needs you pet needs in your home, or on a walk.
About: I grew up on a farm with many various animals, tending to their needs all year round. We also raised Great Pyreneese, and I trained my dog in 4-H! I'm currently in nursing school, so I have time around classes during the week. Monday and Wednesday, I am available until 12 and after 2:45. Tuesday and Thursday, I am free before 11 and after 12:15! My schedule does differ so feel free to reach out! In your home, I follow your routines, secure doors and gates, double-check leashes, monitor constantly, and keep your pup calm, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Layne, a dependable dog owner with experience caring for dogs. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions to help your dog feel safe and comfortable. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in the Edwardsville area. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. You can expect reliable care, respectful treatment of your home, and photo updates during every visit. I have an Australian shepherd myself, and while we can’t get another dog right now, I am eager to share some extra love, attention, pets, and walks with you dog! 🐶 I currently work hybrid, so I could stop by before work, during my lunch break, or after work on my virtual days. Additionally, I have free weekends where I could easily help out! I go based off the vibe of your pet! If they need some space, I’m happy to give them some space. If they need some time to warm up to new people, I completely understand that! If they are high energy and ready to go on a walk or play I can match that energy too!
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 8 years—not just walked or watched, but truly loved them like family. From overnight stays to daily adventures, I’ve built lasting bonds with pups and their people. Clients trust me because I treat every dog as if they were my own—with gentleness, consistency, and genuine affection. I work remotely full-time, which means my midday walks are a must—and always better with a pup tagging along. I’m also happy to stop in for bathroom breaks or quick visits during the day. I care for pets in their own space, keeping their routines and comforts intact. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a drop-in visit, I respect the home, follow instructions to the letter, and make sure each pup feels safe, loved, and seen. I’m neat, quiet, and attentive—like a guest who happens to adore your dog.
About: I grew up with dogs of every kind: German Shepherds, Dalmatians, Cocker Spaniels, Lhasa Apsos, and plenty of friends' Poodles and Sheepdogs. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I'm comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring new trails, or just wants company while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll treat your dog like one of my own. I work full-time during the week, so I'm available for evening walks, overnight care, and weekends. I don't mind long walks if needed and even some extra attention like belly rubbing. I currently cannot host pets in my home due to condominium rules. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, respect your instructions, and provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for while you're away.
“Kathleen is always so amazing! She goes above and beyond to look after our cat and has helped with food/water/litter and even my mail and packages. Our shy cat who is scared of people loves her. Thank you again for helping us out!”

“Keri and her daughter were very friendly and helpful with taking care of our cat for a week. The pictures were great to see and she was responsive in answering questions. We appreciated them and their service!”
“First time hiring Kelly to look after 3 cats and we knew they would be in good hands after the meet and greet. She provided pictures and detailed updates on how they were behaving (2 cats were recovering from respiratory issues). And our cats took to her quite readily. Great care and peace of mind while on vacation. Highly recommended.”
“Jenee did an amazing job taking care of our cats. Our Garfield and Morticia were always excited to see her and get pets. Our cats really enjoyed her company. She even went above and beyond to even feed and water the outside feral cats that like to take up residence on our porch. Next time we go out of town we will definitely be more than happy to have Jenee watch our cats. They will be in good hands.”
“First time using Jill, she went above and beyond with are fur baby Sophia! Loved all the pictures she sent us. Really felt at ease knowing someone so caring took care of Our fur baby. Jill kept in great communication with us! Definitely will use her again! ?”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was around 12 and always loved to meet new dogs. I would pet sit at my home and also take care of dogs in their homes. I love to take care of animals and make sure they are enjoying every moment. Pet care has always been something that I’ve put time into my daily life. I take care of my own pets everyday and always have down time with them. I currently have one cat with me and it’s important to me to keep all her things clean as much as possible and refill water and food regularly.
“Griffin was great! He helped Momo when we needed a sitter last minute. He asked thoughtful questions and really hit it off with Momo during their meet and greet. 10/10 would recommend as a sitter and we’re looking forward to scheduling more visits!”
About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

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.

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 .
