Kennedy's wrap up notes are fantastic as are her pictures. She is communicative and dependable. We are so happy she's watching our girl!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care As a college student at mass maritime, I have class for at least a few hours every day with some days being longer but I can definitely work around my classes to give your pets the best care I will follow any rules and care instructions you give, also I won’t snoop around or go anywhere in your house that you don’t want me to be.
About: I have 45 years experience training and caring for dogs and other animals. I worked 17 years in animal control. I owned a pet store for 8 years. I have cpr training for dogs. I am a retired animal control officer who loves spending time with all animals. I also run, hike and walk daily if your dog is energetic.I visit my mother in a memory care facility and would gladly bring a well behaved pup for lots of love if you are comfortable with this. I have a fenced yard. I will play, walk and spend quality time with your dog. I can hike or run with your dog too if they enjoy this.
About: I have a pug named chunk he is my other son. I would love to have a dog to watch so he has a friend to play with & be around. He's friendly & loves to cuddle. He also loves to run around but gets out of breath quick. I live in an apartment with a dog park and also a fenced in outdoor patio area and a big yard to walk around. I have dog beds, and crate if your dog uses them. My 11 & 9 year old sons love dogs & would spend the whole day playing with them. I’m currently home most of the time I’m babysitting about eight hours a week in the middle of the day so I have plenty of time to be with your dog. Your dog will be leashed outside and safe inside abc out. Whatever you want me to do with your dog I definitely do as needed.
About: Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am a huge animal lover. I have been working as a nurse for the past 2 years, but I am super connected to animals also! I have experience with all kinds of animals. Predominantly dogs and cats. I have volunteered with both, and I have grown up with these animals as well. I have been working as an RN for the past 2 years. Let’s talk & see how I can help you! :) I take care of my cats daily. I volunteer with cats on Fridays 4-5 pm. I also have a gecko that I care for also. I make sure they are clean, fed, have water, and get daily mental stimulation! I love all animals and will make sure they get what they need.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15 years old and have had a black lab my whole life. My friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets which has sparked a passion in me. My sister’s dog is handicap (using diapers/harness for stairs) and I’ve found through my experience watching him that I have built confidence in taking great care of pets. I look forward to hearing from you! I currently work in an office Monday through Friday 8-4pm. I am available for boarding on weekends and evenings. I am completely available on weekends and limited during the week. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I can crate your pet if needed. I am a highly active individual, who looks forward to many walks around the neighborhood with your pet.
About: As a wildlife biologist, I’ve worked hands-on with animals, so I’m calm, observant, and quick to notice small changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable giving medications and caring for senior, special-needs, anxious, and reactive dogs, plus puppies, cats, and small animals. I grew caring for German Shepherds and spent 11 years with my own cattle dog mix, Topo, through old age and health challenges. I send photos and daily reports, reinforce basic training, and love taking dogs on trail and beach adventures. I work as a scientist during the week, so pet care fits around that schedule. I’m most flexible on Thursdays, Fridays, weekends, and holidays, and I can often do early-morning walks before my day starts. I have some availability Monday through Wednesday near Mashpee. For overnight stays, house sitting, or longer vacations, I can arrange extra availability, so just ask about your dates. I can usually pick up and drop off, and I’ll confirm times with you ahead of each booking. In my home (boarding): Dogs are always supervised and on leash for potty breaks, since my yard isn’t fenced. They get daily walks and playtime, and can sleep in a crate or free roam, whichever they’re used to. I live with my husband and two young children, so boarding is best for dogs who are comfortable around kids, and I supervise all interactions. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. In your home (house sitting and drop-ins): I stick to your pet’s routine, keep your home secure, and lock up whenever I leave. My background as a wildlife biologist makes me careful and observant, so I’ll notice changes in appetite, energy, or behavior and tell you right away. You’ll get photos and a short update after every visit. For everyone: I’m happy to do a meet and greet first so you and your pet can see how we get along. If anything seems wrong, I’ll contact you immediately and follow your vet’s instructions.

“Michelle was great dropping in on my cat Oakley when I was on vacation. She sent me updates and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands. I’d definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind and size of dogs and cats. Being in the healthy care field I’ve learned a lot about medications so I feel comfortable administering meds to senior dogs if needed. Neighbors and friends have relied on me for the past 10 years to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they were away. I’m currently in graduate school but in my last semester so I have plenty of free time to walk and watch your pets anytime you need! My landlord does not allow pets in the house but I am more than happy to watch your dogs and cats in the clients home. I am a very active individual who loves to run, walk, and hike so your animals are bound to get lots of exercise if you book me! I am in the healthcare field as well so I also feel competent and comfortable administering medications to animals as needed.
“Nikki is our favorite dog sitter. We were gone for two weeks, she communicated well with any issues that were going on, and paid attention to details about our dogs care. We highly recommend her!!”
About: I am a dedicated pet sitter with extensive experience caring for pets. My background includes managing daily routines, administering medications, and ensuring pets receive plenty of exercise and affection. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every pet, providing peace of mind for their owners. No problem for me! I work a few days a week but nothing I cannot manage. I will still be very present when staying with your dog! What’s not better than letting your pup stay in their own home instead of a kennel while you’re away?! I am a very prompt replier via phone call and text message. I will continue your daily routine with your pup as if you never left & I will always give them care/ love like they are my own:)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ellisville
Dorit was the BEST!! Our cat loved her right away. She took such good care of him and we didn’t worry a bit. She was in touch with us every day with notes and pictures. She went above and beyond and stayed longer than required to play with Bob and keep him company. We hope to use her every time we go away. Thank you Dorit!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ellisville is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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. 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 November 2026, there are 1,156 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ellisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Ellisville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
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.
