“We are repeat clients of Alexandra! She is fantastic and always takes great care of our cats. She is very responsive and always makes sure to send tons of pictures while we are gone! I will definitely use her again for any pet sitting needs!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 8 years! I love to take them on walks and my favorite thing is to teach them new tricks! I am working full time Monday through Friday but I get off at 3:30 everyday so I have more than enough time to take you pet of a late afternoon walk! I am unable to watch pets in my home as I live in an apartment and my dog is a rescue who has some trouble getting along with other pets than my own
About: I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 16. I have experience with dog breeds of all sizes. I also have experience with taking pets on walks, to and from appointments (vet, groomers, etc.), staying over night with pets, and just stopping by for feeding and/or potty breaks. Hey there! I’m Alex and I’m 22 years old. I am currently employed part time but I have a lot of down time so I am looking for more clients! If you’re looking for someone to love your fur babies as their own I’m your girl! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I can care for your pets at your home based off your needs. If you have a trip planned for the week and would feel more comfortable with someone sleeping there with your pets I can do that! Or if you have plans to be out late and would feel comfortable with someone just stopping by every few hours to check on your pets I can also do that!
“Bo was an exceptional sitter!! I would give her more stars if I could. I have an extremely high maintenance senior cat who requires medication, a special diet (like preparing a buffet twice a day) and a list of other instructions. Bo took care of all of her needs. She gave me several updates per day and also sent a bunch of photos - great communication. Bo cared for my little diva like she was her own!”
“Sandy took really good care of my cats and did additional things that like cleaning up cat throw up and vacuuming. Her communication with me about what was going on with my cats was outstanding and sent me many pictures so I could see them.”
“Dawn is the best sitter I've hired on Rover, hands down!!! She is professional, punctual, conscientious, pleasant and thoughtful! She did an awesome job taking care of my kitties! She even won over my shy kitty, which is saying a lot! I can't say enough good things about Dawn. She's the best!”
About: Animals have been my passion since I was four years old. I’m currently a veterinary assistant preparing to start school to become a veterinary technician. I’ve grown up caring for family pets and now have three amazing dogs—small, medium, and large—so I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities. One of my pups is an ESA, and while I know that title holds legal meaning, I truly believe every pet is someone’s emotional support. I care for each animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and respect. Currently I am a full time veterinary assistant, so most days do end with me getting off at 7pm. I won’t let that stop me because I am still available for those after hour times. I am always off Thursday/Sunday and available after 3pm on Saturday (unless stated otherwise). My fur babies are very spoiled! They each have their own crates, open all day to lounge in if they please, a big fenced in yard and plenty of toys they love to share. I know the connection I have with them is very special, and I’m betting the connection I can make with yours will be just as special too.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ellisville is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $33 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
