About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.

About: Hi! I’m Halle, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for pets. I have 5 years of experience caring for pets, and there’s honestly nothing I love more than meeting new pets and getting to know their personality! I had a sweet Puggle who lived to be 18 years old. She taught me just how special the bond between a person and their pet can be, and now I’d love the opportunity to give that same love, attention, and care to your pets! I’m easygoing, dependable, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or just a little company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Can’t wait! 🐶💕 I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your pets! I have availability in the early mornings before work, during my one-hour lunch break (which can be scheduled at different times throughout the day), and in the evenings after work. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find a time that works best for both of us. When I care for your pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your space with the same respect I would want for my own home. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big deal, so I’m always respectful, responsible, and mindful. I’ll do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and at ease in their own environment. I’m also very clean and tidy—I’ll clean up after your pet, keep their spaces neat, and leave your home just as I found it
About: I've trained service dogs and puppies. I've also cared for multi-animal (species and number) households and I've been doing so my whole life. Whether the dog is big or small, I'd love to help! Pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. I have ADHD that leans towards forgetting to do stuff for myself. To counter that, I connect my human activities with my pet activities. Like "I fed the dogs and cats" and then the next sentence is "Oh! I will feed myself too!" I have crate trained dogs before and can reinforce that training to ensure that dogs feel safe and secure in their resting area. I like to familiarize myself with their habits. For instance, where does your dog like to go for a walk? How do they exercise? What's their favorite treat and when do they usually get them? Do they like doing a particular activity? This is my client's home and with that it is my client's pet's home. I take that to heart and try to embed these habits into their daily routine so that they can be cared for well and in the way that they know.
About: I currently own 2 cats (age 1 and 3) who are my two little babies! I’ve lived with/taken care of cats my whole life and also have experience with drop ins/walks for dogs! It’s important for me to make sure your own little babies are still given important care when you are away! As an owner of cats who need their own care from time to time, I understand the important of keeping their owner’s mind at peace while they are away. I treat other people’s pets as if they were my own! I want them to be treated with the same care I would want my own to be treated.
About: I have worked at a vet, taken care of my own animals as well as family and friends. I have dealt with dogs and cats of all sizes. It will work with my job, get me exercise, and give me extra income I need. If I didn't have a weakness to blood, I would have been a veterinarian. I always make sure that they are exercised, played with, and taken to a park if necessary. I never hurt an animal but believe in discipline.
About: I will make sure that your pet is cared for and properly cared for as well. You can trust that your pet is in good hands when it is with me.

About: I grew up with all different sizes of dogs with different needs. I loved getting to know the pups and seeing what made each one unique. Im currently working part-time so my schedule is very open currently. The pet care would be the main priority of my days scheduled. The schedule would include feedings, walks, bathroom breaks, play time, and relaxing. I have a patio area connected to my home. I also have ample space to take long walks, as well as a park close by. I also am able to handle walking any size dog as I have experience walking all different shapes and sizes!
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”

“Rachel was fantastic! She took care of our two cats, one of which needed to be given liquid oral medicine (and he really doesn't like it!). She gave us great updates and it was a comfort to know our kitties were cared for. She also brought in a few packages and took pictures of our bird!”

About: I loved pets for as long as I can remember. Cats come to approach me when I visit my friends. My pet Charlie, a seven-year-old poodle mix relies on me to look after him whenever my parents are out of town. Our pets are known as some of the most loved and treasured parts of our families. Feeding, potty breaks, walks, administering medicine, and by request: batheing are normal parts of care that I can offer. I want to ensure I complete everything to a T in accordance to your pets needs.

“Nico is truly a pet whisperer. She has such a gentle, intuitive way with animals, and my senior dog, Pen Pen, absolutely adores her. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and takes the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She’s also incredibly respectful of my home and consistently goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. Knowing Pen Pen is with someone so attentive and compassionate gives me complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Nico to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and thoughtful care for their pets—especially senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention.”

About: We have a big fenced in backyard for lots of room for dogs to roam and explore. We live in a small cul de sac and quiet neighborhood where walks would be enjoyable. We have had several pets we have raised from young to old. We have taught basics of sit, lay, shake, and stay. I work from home and have the availability to play with your dog, give lots of snuggles, and let them have time outdoors and playtime with other dogs. I work from home and have 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, and a gecko (gecko doesn’t really come around other fur babies). My dogs are social and love to play with others. With our big fenced in backyard the dogs will have lots of room to run around and play. If your dog needs to be kenneled we can accommodate that.
About: Hello! I have done pet and home sitting a number of times, as well as other types of home care. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. It is important to work with someone that is responsible and can be trusted, especially during these times. Several training techniques can be incorporated to help make walking more enjoyable, and I would be happy to help with light training, if needed for pets. This may include a mindfulness to watch the dogs carefully and respond appropriately to their behavior and emotional cues, walking in areas with more or less foot traffic, with more or fewer dogs around, treat training, and or different types of collars and leashes. 45 minutes is a great amount of time to walk/ work with most dogs. I want to care for your pet as you would like them to be cared for, whether as a single time or weekend, or on a regular basis. I enjoy helping people, and helping with pets is one way to do so! To me, it is important to be caring to all animals, to help them feel secure, whether it is during a walk or in their own homes. I look forward to helping you with your pets! My schedule varies week to week. Please reach out and we can likely find something that works for you and your pets! Shorter and or longer term care may work, depending on the situation. I am very attentive to pets and communicate well with their owners. I have helped in home based settings many times and would be happy to help you if there is a good fit.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Edwardsville is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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.

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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
