“Beth took great care of our dog while we were gone! She sent pics and updates. Beth was very responsive to any messages I sent her and our dog was not stressed out at all. I highly recommend and I know we will be using Beth again!”
“Patricia was great!! She stayed for the full 30 minutes and took great care of our Sadie girl. She sent lots of photos and was very responsive. Could not recommend a better sitter! We will definitely book again! Thank you Patricia!!”
“Callie’s been great for my pup! My dog is now a grumpy elderly gentleman who prefers one and one attention. Callie has been a lifesaver by checking in on him while I’m at work. He loves her and she sends the cutest pictures. She communicates well with me and is meticulous with his needs.”
“Cynthia was fantastic!!! This was our first time using Rover and she made it such a great experience. She FaceTimed with me before the day we needed her to make sure she got to meet Trudy and myself before coming into our home. She was so kind and so great with our dog! Will no doubt use her again. Thank you!!!”
“Elisabeth was amazing!! My kitty is kinda hard to get to know and she did great with her. She didn’t force anything and even stopped to get my packages and feed my birds outside for me every day! I will be hiring her again!”
“Alli is excellent!!! Alli worked with us for 5 days straight, two times per day. She was on time 100% of the time and was excellent with our puppies. She took them for long walks and always asked if there was more she could do. Alli is very kind and easy to work with. She is also a good communicator. I highly recommend Alli and we will definitely have her back (often!)”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been personally responsible for my own dogs for the past 14 years. I currently have three dogs at home and have experience with everything from small breeds to large dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs with medical and senior-care needs. One of my dogs developed Addison’s disease at a young age and later battled cancer, so I became very comfortable with administering injections and medications, managing chronic health needs, and caring for a dog through chemotherapy, arthritis and mobility changes. As he got older, we adapted his routine so he could still enjoy walks and activities safely and comfortably. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, especially when they have special needs. I’m patient, attentive and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible, whether that means a morning walk, some midday company, or extra love while you’re away. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! I know how much trust it takes to leave a member of your family and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, your instructions, and any house rules closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to body language and individual needs and will never force an interaction or put your pet in an uncomfortable situation. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and am always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your family member is in good hands.
“Blanca was an amazing caregiver to our two dogs while we were in Hawaii. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of them playing, chasing the ball, enjoying pets and scratches. We would definitely recommend Blanca and will 100% use her in the future!”
About: I’ve lived with my dogs for around 10 years. I take them for walks, feed them when my family needs some help. I have a big dog and a medium sized dog! I don’t have any professional experience but I take care of my dogs often. :) I’m a student at Mizzou, so I will typically be busy until 3pm when I’m in Columbia. When I’m back home in Ballwin over breaks, I should typically be free at all times. I can’t have pets in my home, but in others home I am able to give walks, play with animals, and do anything that’s needed! I love taking care of animals and I’m super careful with them.
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of our two boys. We could see how excited they were to see her when she sent us the daily videos. We are so grateful to her and highly recommend her (except when we need her help) to everyone. Thank you J!”
About: I grew up in a dog-family so I've been taking care of dogs since I could walk. I regularly dog (and cat) sit for family and friends from college and church. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is very flexible excluding Monday & Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Down for morning/midday/evening walks and feeding or overnight stays. I like to do a Meet & Greet with all my clients well before my care-taking in order to properly care for your furry friend. I cannot currently board/crate dogs in my home but am able to offer walking, feeding, and overnights.
“Alicia was a great sitter. Took awesome care of our puppies and was an awesome communicator. She performed all the puppy duties and counted everything through rover including all the walks. I highly recommend Alicia!. Loved the pictures”
About: Ive been an emergency vet tech and helping hand for 6+ years. Ive had animals my entire life & adore them so much I made a living off keeping them safe & healthy. Your loved ones will be loved in my home & heart. I work long hours but that means I have more days off to help you out. 3 days out if the week i have off & can accommodate your oets here in my home or stop by your house for potty breaks/walks. My yard is fenced in, my animals are very friendly, my teenage son loves animals & hopes to follow in mom's footsteps in vet med.
“Cammie was super sweet to my little dogs which made me feel better leaving them at home!! I felt totally comfortable with her in the house! Would highly recommend her!”
“We left our cat for over 2 weeks, and since we’ve only had her for a few months, we were nervous about how she would adjust. They visited her twice a day to feed and give her attention. They sent photos and detailed updates every visit on her eating and behavior. They really put us at ease - we will absolutely book them again in the future!”
About: I am an absolute animal lover, always have been, always will be. Animals have been on the earth long before humans, and hopefully will always be around, long after humans, and to save the earth from humans. They are pure, non-judgemental, authentic and true to their nature. Their natural spirit contains no evil or manipulative tendencies whatsoever. They are wonderfully versed in non-verbal communication, through eye contact, bodily movement, and natural sounds. I treasure all breeds of animals but of course have the most experience with cats and dogs. Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed and treasured the friendship and companionship of my pets I have had experience with canines and felines of all ages and sizes.I look forward to meeting your pet and treating them as if they were my own. I I am at a time and place in my life where I do have the time and the place to be a pet-sitter. I have been a family caregiver, for my brother and then my mother, since 2018 That took quite a bit of time and attention, but they are both in a more peaceful place now. My two young adult children are more independent and one is moving out. I have inherited the family house and land, the house my grandpa built in the late 1940's on an acre of land full of trees on a quiet street. I have always wanted to spend more time and attention with animals and this is the right time and place. I can care and board your pet in my house or yours. I have a large yard with plenty of trees and a ranch style house. I only have one pet, he is a handsome older feline that gets along with cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, etc, I can come to your house if you and your pet would be more comfortable with that.
“I am very grateful to Damica for helping out with my Papi Chulo for 4 days on such a short notice. Also did an amazing job on communication and keeping me updated on all events, I would definitely work with her again 👍🏾”
About: I have been a professional dog trainer (AKC) and CGC certified trainer for many many years (10+ years). I have worked with many rescues in LA and PHX and continue to have clients back in those cities I still service (my clients love me). I have been watching animals for a long time and recently opening up my home to more clients. I have a large dog and small dog in my home as well as a very sleepy old cat. If your dog needs to be the only dog I can make arrangements for my dogs to be gone at grandparents :) The yard is fenced and dogs are only allowed out with supervision so they are always with me...I want to have fun and bond with your dog and ensure their safety and fun! I am able to do checkins, hikes, walks and obviously cuddles. I am responsible and will care for your pet as much as you do. I am happy to continue what rules/instructions you have for your dog and we will have a great time together. I will follow the rules you have for your dog and send tons of pics and updates! I have references and plenty of experience in all shapes sizes and breeds of dogs! I work remote so usually home. I occasionally travel for work to LA and Phx for clients but taking on new clients here in STL! When I am gone dogs on work related pet visits, the dogs are my home are separated into rooms by baby gates and monitored thru a camera. I am usually gone no longer than 2 hours. I care after your pet the same way you would, with love care and full of safety. I have long time clients that refuse to let me go because of not only the care I give but I think also the cuddles and pics :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ellisville on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,285 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ellisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ellisville. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
