“Keena has been fantastic with watching my two dogs! She has been able to care for them last minute and consistently provides updates, asks questions about food, routine, etc., and has been quick to let me know if any issues come up. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent and attentive dog sitter!”
About: I've been around pets off and on my entire life. I have experience walking small and medium size dogs regularly, including putting on and taking off harnesses. I am not afraid to roll around on the floor and play with them. I am a firm believer in using dog communication, such as eye contact or lack thereof, and in keeping with the training that already started. If you always put a hand flat for sit, it means sit, if it means lay down, it means lay down. I follow your lead, you know your dog best. I'm currently in between jobs so I'm very consistently open, I will update my availability if something comes up for a day, and I hate letting people down so I pay close attention so I don't overbook myself. Consistency is key for most animals, I'm willing to work with you to maintain the status quo, so to speak, with your pets routine, food, and training.
About: Having grown up in the country we are no strangers to animals of all types. We particularly love dogs and have had them all of our lives. We love being around all animals, large or small. We are available most days around the clock for drop in checkups, in house sitting, or housing furry friends. We are on the edge of town surrounded by families that also love animals of all kinds. There are many dog friendly parks in the area we can visit so your four legged family members get plenty of play time and exercise while under our care. We look forward to helping you put your mind at ease while you are away from your beloved family pets. We know that "pets" are so much more.

“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.
About: I have cared for a wide variety of pets from slippery and slimy to cuddly and soft. I currently work with a diverse group of animals every day as the education coordinator at Treehouse Wildlife Center. I Have pet sat for friends and neighbors since I was 12 and love the opportunity to make new animal acquaintances. I understand not all animals are perfect and can have varying levels of temperament and care. I am ready for anything, as I understand all pets deserve the best love and care regardless. Work full time 7-5 available weekends and evenings primarily but can make exceptions due to flexibility in my current position. Let me know if you have any questions. I have two dogs, a parrot, a hedgehog, and a few aquariums. I know my pets are cared for by the people I live with like they are their own, whenever I am gone. I plan to do the same as a sitter as I know how it can feel to be unsure to leave your pets while your away. Unfortunately we can’t always take our fuzzy friends where ever we go, no matter how much we love them.

I worked at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville, IL for over 2 years and recently quit this year due to my CF, but I still keep up to date with my licensure! I can work with dogs, cats, and small exotic animals including hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, etc. Don’t worry, you can trust me with all of your fur babies!!!

About: I’ve been dealing with animals literally my whole life. I went to a technical school and I worked at a doggy daycare for 4yrs.Dogs are my passion/therapy. Im trying to save up enough to continue my education. I’m currently working as a part time dog groomer Mondays/Fridays, a little busier after holidays . I’m still available to do check ins every 2-4hrs for potty breaks on those days. My home is very spacious, plus I have a dog park within walking distance.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. As an adult I got involved in helping train law enforcement dogs. After replying I came back and decided to become a professional dog trainer. I work overnight shifts a few days a week but am available most days during the day. I spend a lot of time working with my own dogs and can offer training if you are interested. I have a fenced yard and three dogs. I have a kennel room that allows for plenty of room for care and a basement that I use as a training facility. My dogs can be rotated on a basis if your dog is not pet friendly.
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life. From training puppies, to caring for older dogs who have needed round the clock medicine and care and everything in between. I have taken care of kittens/cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, you name your pet and I have probably come into contact with it at some point. I have always wanted to become a veterinarian, but life took me in other directions, so now I show my love and support for the animal community by helping people take care of their fur babies. I am currently working night shift 3 nights out of the week, but I could be available for walks or pet sitting any other time. My neighborhood is wonderful, I have plenty of nearby parks, as well as, a walking trail directly in my neighborhood. It is a very pet friendly place, with lots of other pets to interact with and also has a dog park. I usually only do healthy treats for training, but obviously will cater to whatever schedule or routine your animal needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Edwardsville 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
