“Alexandra was amazing and we will definitely use her services again! She was so communicative both before our trip and during and sent lots of updates and pictures. It was such a nice peace of mind knowing our pups were well taken care of while we were gone.”

“Morgan was amazing. Our little dog warmed up to her quickly. She was able to handle our big dog and all his puppy energy. She went above and beyond. We arrived home to a clean house and happy healthy pets.”

“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!”

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience in veterinary medicine. I have several years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and caring for pets with special medical needs. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may be nervous or require extra patience. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always provide reliable communication, photo updates, and personalized care to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I work in the veterinary field, so caring for animals is what I do both professionally and personally. My schedule allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I plan my day around the pets in my care to make sure they stay on their normal routine. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, playtime, medications, or just giving extra cuddles, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I always care for pets as if they were my own while following each owner’s specific instructions and routine. In my client’s home, I work to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure their home is respected and kept clean, and I provide regular photo and message updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of supervised playtime, exercise, and affection. I make sure each pet has fresh water, comfortable places to rest, and receives individualized care based on their personality, age, and needs. My veterinary experience also allows me to confidently care for puppies, senior pets, and pets that require medications or extra monitoring.
“I can’t recommend Emma enough! Leaving my kitten, Lumi, for the first time was something I was really nervous about, but Emma made the entire experience so much easier. She took such amazing care of Lumi, gave her lots of love and attention. When we came home, the house was incredibly clean. It was such a relief to come home to a happy, well cared for kitten and know she had been in such good hands. Emma truly went above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will absolutely be asking her to watch Lumi again. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and who will treat your pets like family, Emma is the perfect choice!”

About: Retired from law enforcement and have the time to spend with your pets! I have had dogs my whole life, I’ve had cats too but it has been a while. I love all animals and will treat yours like they are my own. I do not have a full time job other than being a wife and mom to two teens. I can assist you with your pet when you can’t! Whether is a quick walk or check in on your animal, I can take care of it. I can check on your house, collect your mail etc. while you are an away. I will take care of your home and pets as if they were my own. Whatever you need to be taken care of to make your absence easier on you and your pet.
“Matthew did a great job caring for Red on Reds schedule. Our Senior requires medications morning and evening with consistency on timing and dosing. What a comfort to travel and know Red’s care and needs were met. We will use him again!!”

“Abigail did an excellent job staying at my house and taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated the daily photos!! I will call Abby next time for sure. Thanks Abby!!”


About: I’ve had six years of kennel experience at places like doggy day cares and currently am employed at a vet clinic! At my jobs, I have been responsible for special cases such as dogs with health conditions and giving medications. I also have experience with home visits/overnight stays with clients as well! I currently am employed full time at a vet clinic working as a lead kennel assistant, this means I am responsible for the cats and dogs that are staying the night at our facility! The beginning of my day would be dedicated to your pet then I’m off to work at 7:00 am. I would return for mid-day care at 10:00-11:00 am. Once I’m off work I’d be back for the end of day around 5:30-6:00 pm! With my experience at not only at doggy day cares but vet clinics I know just how important it is to be attentive towards our pets! Especially pets with medical issues or issues that are common in certain breeds! With my training I can provide a safe and trusting environment that will let owners feel at ease when they are not home!

About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾
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.

“Claire was fantastic with Delta. She was very prompt in answering any questions, and followed all of the instructions that were asked of her. I will gladly use her again to watch Delta. Thank you Claire!”

“Gabrielle is fantastic! She is careful, fun, dependable and put our minds at rest as far as Angus’ wellbeing. I would not hesitate to highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

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—
“Sara was amazing with our little 16 year old Chihuahua mix. She was very attentive and did everything that we asked of her for our senior dog. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ellisville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ellisville on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 414 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ellisville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
