“It was my first time using Rover and I could not have found a better person to take care of my kitties! Samantha took time out of her day for a meet and greet prior to booking which gave me the extra peace of mind I needed. She was responsive in our communications, on time for check-ins, sent the best updates and took some great pics. I'm so glad I took this chance on Rover! I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone in need of pet care while you are away, she was absolutely wonderful!”
“Lindsey was overall amazing. This was our first time using Rover and Lindsey made us feel so comfortable and confident. She went above and beyond, scheduled a meet-up, asked great questions, and fully delivered on care. We have a cat that has diabetes and I knew Lindsey would take great care in administering his insulin. I’m so glad we booked her!”
“Ashlyn was fantastic!! I was so nervous about leaving my cats with a stranger. I have only ever let family watch and take care of them. It can also be a little nerve wracking to let a stranger into the house. But Ashlyn made me feel so at ease knowing she was coming to see my cats. She arrived on time every single day. Never left a second early. She made sure to send me pictures, which I loved and made me feel confident that my cats were being cared for. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not have to check in with her everyday to ensure she was doing what needed to be done. When I got home, the house was just as we’d left it. Ashlyn even brought in a package from outside when we didn’t ask her to!! I will absolutely use Ashlyn again (if she takes me)”
“Alex did a fantastic job! She was quick to reply and communticated well with us while we were gone. She was also great with our two kitties! They were both in good moods when we got back, so I know they appreciated her.”
About: Hi, I’m Shanna! I provide care at your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their normal routine while you’re away. As a remote worker, I’m able to stay at your home during work hours - great for pets who are used to company throughout the day! My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible. I am happy to follow detailed instructions, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going. Specialties: I have a soft spot for shy or nervous pets, and I take extra care to follow their lead and let them warm up at their own pace. My experience caring for my own anxious and reactive dog has given me extra understanding for pets who need a predictable environment and time to build trust. I am also experienced with puppies and young dogs, and I understand the importance of consistency, routine reinforcement, and providing outlets for their energy while they’re still learning. Meet & Greet: I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet with new clients to make sure everyone feels comfortable and that we are a good match. For safety, my husband Nathan may join me for this first visit, but all pet care and in-home services are always provided by me. I work primarily from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around your pet's needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, or spending extra time keeping them company. I truly enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the care and respect I’d want for my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet (and your space) in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. For pets, I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, and their safety and well-being is always my top priority. In your home I am very mindful that I am a guest. I keep things clean, make sure everything stays secure, and treat your space with respect. I aim to leave everything just as you left it. I am happy to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for.
“Nathaniel has been amazing with our new pup! He’s reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about providing great care. Since we recently got our puppy, it’s been such a relief knowing someone trustworthy is coming by to take our dog out while we’re at work. He’s always accommodating, communicative, and great with our pup. We’re very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable pet care!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have owned 8 dogs total, with as many as four at one time. I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds and personalities, from Great Danes and German Shepherds to Sheepadoodles, Airedales, and mixed breeds. I’m very comfortable with both large and small dogs, energetic dogs, and puppies. I also have experience around litters of puppies since one of my dogs had puppies multiple times while I was growing up, so I’m used to younger dogs and all the energy that comes with them. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s playing, going on walks, giving attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m very patient, responsible, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m a college student home for break, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of free time. I just ask for 3 days notice for changes! I have two big dogs at home, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs and daily care routines. I love playing, cuddling, feeding, and keeping pets active and comfortable.
“Rachael is always fabulous! Very communicative and great with my older dogs that have special needs. I greatly appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting.”
About: I have had extensive experience taking care of dogs across multiple age groups, especially older dogs who require more frequent bathroom breaks, medicines, and special routines. I have also grown up in a house with numerous cats and dogs, leading to being familiar with how they interact and how to take care of each animal. Finally, some unique animals that I have taken care of include a lizard and a bird. I live in a studio in Atlanta for graduate school and I miss being with my pets back home. During the week, I would be able to stop by during the day for a bit in the morning, during lunch, and after class through the evening. On the weekends, I am mostly doing studying or homework anyway, so it would be nice to have some company while I do it! I will be attentive to each pets needs and provide them ample love and affection when I am present in the house! I will not just be dropping by for a few minutes, but will spend quality time with them. That way they feel loved, appreciated, and remembered.
“Morgan was amazing! She took such good care of our dog and provided great updates while we were gone. Even our neighbor commented on how friendly she was. It’s so nice to know your pets are cared for by great people when you have to leave them.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and lover since I was a child, have had my own dog for 10 years now. I’ve been caring for others dogs since I was 10 for neighbors and friends. I love all breeds of dogs and would love to help love and care for yours! I’m currently a teacher on summer break, so I have a lot of free time to give for caring for your pets! My day to day schedule is open to be able to care for all you and your pets needs. When caring for your pet, I would use the utmost responsibility in treating your home with respect and care. I would make sure that all was taken care of and your dog was in the best hands.
About: I am new to the KC area and looking to start doing Rover again. I take pride in doing a job well done. I vow to treat your furry friend as my own. I am currently working a full time job but would be interested in doing Rover on the weekends. Dog walking or drop in visits preferably. I am comfortable with going to your home. I live in an apartment but have a front yard. I love to go on walks and I love dogs.
“Muskaan was amazing! She took such good care of our elderly dog and our home while we were gone! She went above and beyond what was asked of her. We will definitely have her help us again!”
“We can’t say enough great things about Samantha! She was so flexible with our work schedules and absolutely so sweet with our 2 fur babies. I think they miss her! Such a comforting thought, knowing that they were taken care of. Can’t wait to book again!”
“Emily is so good with my dogs. One dog wouldn’t come out of the kennel for a couple others but loves Emily :) She helps me out when I’m at work for a long time and it brings so much peace of mind.”

I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to provide personalized care, attention, and affection. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am a full time nurse with a flexible schedule!

In a client's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well.
“We found out at the last minute that our spring break accommodation did not allow cats, and Susan saved the day! We always prefer someone who has experience with cats, and Susan’s experience and love for all animals shone through from even the first meeting. When we had questions after coming home, Susan was responsive and helpful.”
“Abbie has been so helpful taking care of our two corgis. She arrives on time and takes great care of them with walks and treats. We are so grateful for her help and highly recommend her services.”
“Stephanie was so helpful and kind with our two dogs! This was a first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded all needs and eased our worry. With a senior dog who needs extra care and a younger dog who has much more energy, she was able to accommodate both of our boys to keep them happy and safe!”

Thanks so much to Amanda for taking such good care of my two little ones while I was away at MD Anderson this week. It meant a great deal to me to know they were in such caring and capable hands during a stressful time. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well-loved when I got home. My family and I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the care she gave our sweeties.
Michaela was amazing! She took this booking very last minute when we were in need and she was nothing short of perfect! She had open communication, sent photos, and provided updates on our two fur babies. When traveling, it can be stressful to leave your pets but she took all of that away by providing great care.
Elizabeth took great care of our Penny while we were away for the weekend. She was fantastic at using the app to send pics and provide details of what all Penny did at each drop in visit. She was on time for each drop in and loved on our sweet pup. Elizabeth really was helpful, patient, and kind. I’m grateful she was available on short notice, and I will use her again!! Highly recommend!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,942 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Edwardsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Edwardsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Edwardsville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
