My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.”

“Ashley was so great with our cat, Dizzy. Dizzy was clearly well taken care of, and was excited when Ashley came to visit her. I really appreciated all of the pictures she sent, showing us what Dizzy was up to. I felt at ease in our travels knowing that Dizzy had such good company. We will definitely be booking Ashley again!”

About: I’ve loved and owned cats and dogs through every phase of my life, making animal care second nature to me. As an extremely empathetic and caring person, I treat every pet like family. I absolutely love snuggling kitties and promise to give your fur baby all the patience, warmth, and attention they deserve! I work from Monday to Thursday each week, so I'm available after 5pm on those days. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I am always free to spend time with your furry friend. As a pregnant mom living in an apartment, I'm currently only available for walks and drop-in visits with cats and dogs (up to medium size). I'm also open to caring for small animals and exotic pets - feel free to message me and ask!
“Kim communicated, was helpful, and extraordinarily caring! I know my boys were well taken care of and we are happy to have her sit anytime! She sent us pictures and even bought in our mail! Thank you Kim!!”
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!
“Jennifer took the best care of our dogs while we were away. The regular check-in notifications with pictures and messages were a comfort, and I looked forward to receiving them. We normally use a kennel, but I will be using Rover from now on!! Highly recommend!!”
“Amanda was great! Could tell right away she loves animals and I could trust her from the start. My dog has separation anxiety and Amanda was very understanding of that. Would highly recommend her 100%”
About: Hi, I'm Missy! I've been caring for animals my entire life and owned my own pet-sitting business, Pet Sitting by Missy, since 2014. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and special needs. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, and providing comfort to anxious animals. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, reliability, and dedication to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets in someone else's care, and I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they are away. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to pets' behavior, ensure doors and gates are secure, and make sure they are supervised appropriately. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
“Andrew was incredible!! He watched our 2 cats while we were out of town for about a week and was very quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures. He was very accommodating to some last minute changes and was so good with our little kitties!! Will definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I am currently unemployed so taking care of your dog(s) is my top priority! So whether it’s staying at your house over night, or just coming in occasionally to check on your dog, I’m your guy! I work well with dogs in any environment, big yards, small yards, or even no yard at all. I am very good at commanding dogs & keeping them out of trouble while also letting them have fun at the same time.

Adam did a wonderful job caring for our dogs when we were away. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and loved. One of our dogs is 19 years old and has special needs, and Adam was very knowledgeable in how to care for her and give her the extra attention she needs. Thank you Adam!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 410 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
