“Gabrielle is an excellent choice as a dog sitter. She stayed in her home for a few days and Coco had a great time with her. She's easy to communicate with and very kind.”

“Gail is a superstar! I needed to find a dog sitter at the last minute and had never used Rover before. Gail responded right away and made a plan to meet me and my pup right away to confirm it was a fit. Gail did a fantastic job watching Rocky! She sent me updates and I never had to think or worry about how things were going at home during our trip. I will absolutely use Gail again and cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, especially dogs. My first pup was an Irish Setter when I was just four, and over the years my family rescued many dogs — including plenty of Basset Hounds — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’m now a cat owner as well — it’s a new experience, but one I’ve grown to love. At the moment, I’m available nearly every day, including weekends, thanks to a flexible work schedule. I’m happy to work around your needs and adjust as things come up. My kids are fully grown, so I have some more time on my hands! I’m completely comfortable crating dogs when needed, and I’m confident handling daily walks, potty breaks, and general exercise routines to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well‑cared for.

“Ashley stepped in when my pet sitter canceled a week before Christmas and she was amazing!! Maui and Kaedie were well taken care of and I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I’d happily book with Ashley the next time we go on vacation.”

About: I’m new on Rover, but over the past 15 years, I have provided dedicated pet sitting services for a wide variety of families, including those living on military bases. This extensive background, combined with owning a high energy Brittany Spaniel and a gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has given me a deep, well rounded understanding of different breed temperaments, strict home care rules, and structured routines. Whether your dog requires high energy exercise, specialized attention, or careful adherence to specific neighborhood boundaries, I bring the experience, trust, and reliability needed to keep your pets safe, happy, and completely at ease. Hi, I'm Daniella! I have a massive love for dogs and bring over 15 years of dedicated pet sitting experience to the table. Throughout the years, I have cared for pets for many different families, including those on military housing. I am also a proud pet parent myself to two wonderful dogs: a high energy Brittany and a sweet, cuddle loving Cavalier King Charles Spaniel . Raising two very different breeds has given me firsthand experience managing contrasting energy levels, temperaments, and unique care routines! I believe our pets are truly family, and my top priority is ensuring your pup feels safe, loved, and completely at ease while you are away. Because I work with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to dedicate plenty of time and structured care to your dog. Whether they need energetic play sessions, a long walk to explore, or just a cozy spot on the couch to relax, I adapt completely to whatever your pup's routine looks like. When your pup is with me, you can expect regular text updates and plenty of cute photos so you can have total peace of mind! Safety is my absolute top priority, and I treat every guest pup with the exact same vigilance and care that I give my own two dogs.

My goal is to provide a reliable, peaceful, and incredibly safe environment so you can travel with absolute peace of mind!
“Jen was the best sitter I could have found for my 115lb. Golden. I knew the day I met her and watched how Charlie reacted with her that she would be the person I could trust to stay with him. It was our first time leaving Charlie with anyone other than family, also it was the longest amount of time we would be gone. She stayed with Charlie for 6 days and 5 nights. Our flights were delayed both going and coming home. Jen was so accommodating, she came earlier than I had booked her for and stayed later at the end. I was completely at ease knowing Charlie was going to be so well cared for, even loved. He's such a creature of habit and Jen followed our routine perfectly. It was obvious from the way he reacted to Jen that he knew she was a good person and a dog lover. My husband and I will feel so much better about going away and leaving our dog, knowing that we will be able to call on Jen again. We were so fortunate to have found her!! Thank you so much Jen!!”

About: Hello! My name is Caitlin, and I bring more than 12 years of veterinary experience to every pet I care for. Working as a veterinary technician gave me the opportunity to care for animals of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs, and it deepened my passion for helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience caring for senior pets, puppies and kittens, anxious animals, and pets requiring special attention due to medical conditions or mobility challenges. I am comfortable administering medications and monitoring pets closely to ensure they remain happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your beloved pet. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps your pet’s routine as normal as possible. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits and am available between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. I offer house sitting which includes drop in visits to feed, walk, play etc. but I can not sleep over. Price includes 1-3 visits per day. Every visit includes plenty of attention, affection, and communication, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My days are structured around my daughter’s school schedule, which gives me plenty of time during weekday mornings and early afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, or cat care. I focus on a few pets at a time so each one gets my full attention and gentle, loving care. Evenings are family time, but I’m happy to accommodate occasional evening or weekend visits for regular clients. Whether it’s a quiet cat who just needs company or a dog who loves a mid-day adventure, I make sure every visit is peaceful, safe, and full of affection. Your pets will be cared for like family — with kindness, intuition, and reliable communication. I provide loving, reliable care in your pet’s own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps their routines consistent — meals, walks, playtime, and cuddles just the way they like them. Because I’ve worked as a veterinary technician for over 12 years, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including those who may be shy, senior, or need medication. I take time to learn each animal’s rhythm and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. My goal is for you to return home to a relaxed, happy pet — cared for with patience, compassion, and the same attention I’d give my own.
“Jared and Tanya were AMAZING. They came and house and puppy sat for a weekend while my husband and I were away. They took such great care of our 1 year old boxer puppy. They were incredibly attentive, professional, so kind, and kept me updated all weekend long. This was our first time booking with them and we absolutely will use them again in the future for over nights. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes & needs for friends, family, anyone who needs it for several years now! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and no matter who’s they are, I treat them all like my own. I’m currently working part-time, only on weekends for the most part, so I have lots of time on my hands to take care of your fuzzy friends. I have two sweet pets currently, a small dog and a cat, that can easily be separated from your pet if they are staying in my home!
“Emma was wonderful watch Max for a few hours at our home. Our beagle gets anxious when we go out but Emma calmed him down and sent us pics. I highly recommend her to care for your dog .”

About: Hi there! My husband and I are the ultimate dog people. We both grew up with dogs and have been caring for them on and off Rover for years! We took a break from this app as we had a couple of regular pup clients but we are back and eager to meet yours!!! We have been caring for dogs for over 25 years. We are very active and we love hikes in the state forest or long walks on the trails of Pinehills, Hedges Park, Plymouth Long Beach, and the canal. We live 2 houses down from Bloody Pond if your pup enjoys swimming!! We have a mellow 3 year old boxer named Polly. She is such a little love, more mellow than your typical 3 year old boxer, is great with all dogs, and can often be found sun bathing on our back patio. Although not completely fenced in, we have a tie out run and live on a dead end street. We both have very flexible schedules which makes for great availability. We will always do our best to accommodate requests! Drop ins and dog boarding are mostly what we do but don’t hesitate to reach out re: dog walking and house sitting. Please note, meet and greets are required for all dog boarding and house sitting requests. Our yard is 3/4s fenced in and we live on a dead end. Dogs are NEVER off leash without owner permission and our full trust in the pup.

Sorry I’m just getting back to you now. I was very happy with how the animals appeared when I got home that is the best way to tell if the dogs and cat were treated well. They were there normal selves and very happy to see us. Thank you for that we will definitely use you again.
Allyson was amazing! She was very communicative throughout our trip and sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pets absolutely loved her, and she took great care of both them and our home. We highly recommend Allyson and have already booked her for our next two trips!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ellisville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ellisville on Rover is $79.92 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 728 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
