“Morgan did a wonderful job caring for my three dogs while I was out of town. She handled it with confidence and care. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She was also very attentive and respectful of my home. I will absolutely continue using Morgan in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Raylin was amazing! She sat our two pups in our house for almost a week. This was the first time we have left them alone at home this long and she took great care of them. They really took to her. We will definitely reach back out to Raylin when we need a sitter again!”

“We are all happy us the pet parents and our fur babies! Olivia was just what we were looking for and more I hope she posted the pictures because they say it all you can see just how happy the babies are. Can't wait for our next get away and they can't wait to see their new best friend....”
“Gabrielle provides excellent care for my 3 dogs and goes way above and beyond what most dog sitters do. She is the ultimate 5 star in pet care: top notch attention, loving, thorough, caring and genuinely loves her 4 legged clients. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Peace of mind and lots of photos and videos of my doggos is guaranteed when I book Gabrielle. We are extremely fortunate to have her in the Fairhope area!”

About: With over 20 years as a devoted dog mom, my heart and home are open to your fur baby. I have a profound love for dogs and prefer them to people. lol- JK…ish🐾🤭 jokes aside, every dog deserves a place where they can be cared for, loved, and comfortable when their people have to be away. Offering that is a great responsibility I take pleasure in embracing. Raising my current Weimaraner’s, June and Pluto, from puppyhood, I’ve honed my skills in consistent, patient, and loving puppy training. I’m equally experienced with senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges or blindness, ensuring they feel safe and cherished. From the eye boogers to more serious issues, I’m always prioritizing your dog’s unique needs with honesty and integrity. My home features a large, fenced backyard and a cozy screened-in patio for relaxing together. With me working from home, your pup will enjoy constant companionship alongside June and Pluto, who love welcoming new pack members.🐾🤎 Working from home, I provide round-the-clock companionship for your dog. My flexible job lets me step away to play outside, cuddle indoors, or give pets and love throughout the day. Whether in our dog🐾approved large backyard, my couches, or even my bed, I’m always by your pup’s side, ensuring they’re never alone. June and Pluto, my 2 Weims are naturally gentle, playful, and welcoming to dogs of all sizes, from tiny paws to big goofballs. Dogs are masters at reading energy, and I promise your pup will feel safe, loved, and a genuine pack inclusion.🐾 Our backyard is great! It is a secure paradise for zoomies, fetch, and adventures—safe, private, and fun. When it’s time to wind down, our screened-in patio is the spot to relax together, soak up the breeze, and just chill…. or get the squeaky out of every toy 😆 We do have pool, but rest assured: I’m always vigilant and take precautions or jump in fully clothed without hesitation- seriously, no worries. To make your pup feel extra comfortable, please bring their favorite daily essentials (bedding, blankets, crate, toys, food, etc.). I have plenty of backups on hand if needed, but nothing beats their own familiar smells! 🐾 Every stay is tailored with all my heart to your dog’s unique personality and routine. Your pup will have constant companionship, warm welcomes from June and Pluto, and never a dull (or lonely) moment. *and they will comeback to you bathed if needed* Contact me for a safe, fun, loving stay—
“I can’t recommend Debra enough! She stayed overnight with our dogs for several nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, her communication was wonderful. She made scheduling easy, kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent plenty of photos and messages so we always knew our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond by taking them on lots of walks, spending so much time playing with them, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only being cared for but were genuinely having a great time while we were away. We’re so grateful for everything Debra did and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about your pets, I highly recommend Debra!”

“Wow! Dalton is the best of the best. Attention to detail was fantastic. We have very big dogs and one is a puppy in a new strange house as we just moved to the area so he needed special attention. Dalton was a joy to work with and loved our dogs as if they were his own. Dalton would receive our highest recommendation! (I wish we could keep him all to ourselves. Ha Ha) if Dalton can manage a 200lb dog and a 90lb. 6 month old puppy.. in a house with multiple large staircases… he can handle your dogs with ease.”


About: I have worked in animal care fields for over five years. I used to work at two different boarding facility's where we would get not only dogs but cats and even birds sometimes. I have also stayed at family and neighbors houses while they were away to help with there fur babies! I look forward to meeting your beloved animals no matter how big or small! I currently work full time at a bank. I have a lot of free time for the weekends and for after work. I have to be at my work by 8:15 but will be able to come depending how close for my lunch to let the babies out. I get off around five so I will be back for the rest of the night. I am currently not able to bring pets to my home due to one of my dogs not being the friendliest. I am able to come and stay at your residence and also available for walking.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who deserve gentle, attentive care. I’m comfortable with administering basic medications, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in last minute. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I stay organized and committed so your pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent in a familiar environment. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, and any special care needs like medications. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am a cat person through and through. I have 4 cats of my own - 2 British shorthairs and 2 rescues. I make sure to give them as much stimulation and play as possible and I’ll treat your cats as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to find sitters who prioritize cats, and too often kitty care is an afterthought. But not for me! I’ll give your babies the attention and playtime they deserve. Though I am most passionate about cats, I will make sure all the animals in your home are fully taken care of and happy while you’re away. I have experience administering medication, caring for kittens and senior cats, as well as dogs, fish, reptiles, and birds. I work as a freelance media buyer and have full control of my remote schedule. My husband and I used to travel a lot for work, and I really struggled to find quality care for my own 4 cats when we went away. As someone who has dealt firsthand with some not-so-great cat sitters, I really know what it takes to give pet owners peace of mind while away from home. My schedule is completely moldable to your needs. If caring for pets in your home is not an option, I have a spare bedroom with a window and a cat tree, window perch and toys that I have reserved for fostering cats. While I prefer to care for animals in your own home, I will happily take them in if it would be beneficial for your situation.
“Jordan recently house sat for us and took care of our greyhound. She did a great job! Our poor dog had just broken her toe and was in a splint, so she required extra care and medication. We could not have asked for better care. She is highly recommended and we are looking forward to using her services again.”

“Michael has watched our dogs twice now. His communication is excellent, and he probably takes better care of our dogs than we do! It’s obvious he truly cares about our animals. Thank you Michael for giving us peace of mind that our dogs are well cared for while we’re away!”

About: Hi! My name is Mariah, and I’m excited to start offering dog-sitting services. I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’ll take the time to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are very important to me! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend and give them the care and attention they deserve. 🐶❤️ I am currently not working at all so I promise your pet will have literally all of my time and I wouldnt want it any other way Since my home doesn’t allow pets in the clients home I will clean up and pick up behind pet plenty of walking and outside time, ofcourse feeding and playing and then hopefully you won’t mind if we take a nap together on your couch if you allow dogs on funiture
“You can trust Bella. She was super communicative and so organized. She even kept a journal of how many treats our 3 babies got. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Our flight got significantly delayed and Bella stepped in and stayed an extra night and took so much stress off a stressful situation. So grateful we found her. We will definitely have her take care of our house and animals again.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Chelbi. She provided me so much reassurance and took such good care of my boys. One of my babies requires lots of medications and she was on top of everything. I have never felt so at ease with a dog sitter. Our babies were beyond happy when we got home and I can tell they were cared for so well!!!! You will not regret hiring Chelbi!!!!”


About: I’ve had animals my entire life and currently have two German Shepherds, Bella and Enzo, whom I’ve personally trained in basic obedience using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Caring for them has given me experience with energetic, intelligent dogs and the importance of maintaining a consistent routine. As a music educator, I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to detail—qualities that naturally carry over into how I care for pets. I’m comfortable with active, high-energy dogs as well as those who need a slower pace or extra attention. My goal is to treat every pet like family, providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As an educator currently pursuing another degree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m also an early bird, so morning walks, feedings, and potty breaks are already part of my day. I have an established daily routine with my own two dogs that I can easily incorporate into caring for your pet, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and care. I intentionally keep my schedule organized so I can provide dependable care while keeping you updated and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I focus on providing care that keeps your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in the environment they know best. Whether I’m house sitting, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking your dog on a walk, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. As a pet owner myself, I treat every pet the way I would want someone to care for my own two dogs—with patience, kindness, and genuine attention. I believe trust is the foundation of every relationship between a pet sitter, a pet, and their owner. My goal is to earn that trust by providing dependable care, respecting your home, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have helped raise and train 4 dogs. I dog sit my parents golden retriever and Bernadoodle anytime they go out of town. I love all animals and would love to take care of them! I currently work the dinner shift at Oso in orange beach. I typically only work 3-9/10 and would be available anytime during the day and can even stop by after I get off for a night walk and treats. I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.
About: I’ve taken care of animals as long as I can remember and I enjoy it immensely. I use to raise and show Boxers and Dobermans. After that I started fostering for a number of different rescues so I have a lot of experience with different breeds and situations. I also helped with training so the dogs were more adoptable. I have had different sizes of dogs from a Lhasa Apso to Great Danes. I have also had horses, goats, cows, pigs ( inside and outside)and chickens. Lastly I have a Veterinarian Technician certification. I am currently working only a few hours and days so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. I’m available weekends and during the week. I can adapt my schedule for you and your pet’s needs and provide the love, attention and care that your pets deserve when you are away.
About: I’ve always had a special soft spot for pit breeds and short-haired dogs, but I truly love and appreciate every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I enjoy learning each animal’s unique personality and providing personalized care, patience, attention, and plenty of love. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parent is away! Pet care naturally fits my routine. I enjoy feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets plenty of love while respecting their unique schedules and personalities given any special requirements they may have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ellisville is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 404 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ellisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ellisville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ellisville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Ellisville 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
