“Emma was a fantastic dog sitter! She was super thoughtful and caring, our dog was in great hands during our weekend away. Communication was a breeze, she always responded promptly and sent daily updates.”
“Perri is a fantastic house/dog sitter!!! We received countless photos every day of our dog Murph looking very content, happy, and well taken care of. We would highly recommend Perri!!”
“This is the second time that Jeremy has sat with Sirius. Sirius was so excited to see him again! Jeremy brings a great calming presence to my sometimes anxious big guy- always offering affection, play and fun food enrichment (Sirius’s favorite). Jeremy is a super communicator and I love that he sends me a few pics to let me know how things are going which I very much appreciate. We will absolutely continue to be repeat clients.”
“Sarah was amazing. She’s a great communicator and sent a ton of pictures, which was great to be able to see our dog having fun while we were traveling. She took our dog on tons of walks and to the dog park, and judging by how tired and happy our she was when we got home, she had tons of fun. Our house looked like Sarahj was never here when we got home or maybe even better! We plan to book Sarah again when we’re traveling again later this year. 5 stars all the way! Thanks Sarah!”
“Tyler did a wonderful job in both taking care of our 5 dogs but also in keeping us informed throughout our trip. We are so happy that we have found a trusted person to work with for all of our trips.”
“Emma was prompt kept in contact with me I have a dog who needs special care she was able to be there and provide that,My dog seemed to be very happy when we returned home very happy with her service!!”
“Ashley was fantastic. She took excellent care of my two shy cats and earned their trust. Daily updates and photos helped me relax and know they were in good hands. I will be booking Ashley again as my kitty nanny!”
“Azra was absolutely wonderful, and I am so happy to recommend her!! She took excellent care of my pets during her recent booking, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her capable hands. Even though there seemed to be a glitch, and the system didn't send her the detailed message I had texted with specific instructions about where things are located and how to best care for my pets, Azra was incredibly observant and resourceful. She intuitively understood their needs and provided them with everything they required, making this pet-sitting experience truly outstanding.”
“Damica is an excellent sitter! My cat absolutely adores her, she took great care of him and made sure to send me updates, pictures, and videos throughout the stay. I will definitely be booking her again”
About: Nearly three decades experience Wide open availability Have worked with every breed/personality imaginable. Can adapt to any pets needs great or small. Have worked with all ages and medical needs. Medication, food sensitivities, and personal preferences are very important and will be treated with equal priority. I have a very open availability and no spouse or children. I prioritize the pets I'm caring for over other obligations and will be open about any scheduling conflicts. (but that's unlikely to happen) My service involves precise and personalized care depending on the pet's needs and personality. No two pets are the same and each needs to be understood according to their lifestyle.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and have worked with a wide variety of temperaments of dog throughout my life. I believe I have a good understanding of dog behavior because of this I am currently looking for much more stable employment, but because of this, I am free pretty much every day of the week. My schedule is widely open. I have two dogs who lived in a fenced in yard. Both are super sweet, if funny dogs who can be very needy for attention and will let me know when they need food. I have learned how dogs act throughout the years, even if the two I have are more chatty
“10/10 highly recommend! We used Amber for the first time to care for our three animals (Dog, Cat, & Parrot) while heading to Italy for two weeks. Obviously we were nervous about having a new pet sitter for this long but wow was Amber incredible. From the moment I inquired she was extremely communicative and personable. I could instantly tell she had a love for animals & she was accommodating to a meet and greet prior to booking. Our animals instantly vibed with her which was a great sign for us! Throughout our trip she sent a bunch of photos and shared quirky stories about them which was so fun. She was a very responsible and thoughtful house guest as well. Seriously we came back and everything was in mint condition. She even brought in our mail and packages! Honestly she was wonderful, we feel so lucky to have found her and will continue using her for all of our travel and pet care needs. I highly recommend booking her! 🤍”

“Lisa stayed at our house with the pups for just over 2 weeks while we were away. We were nervous about hiring a new sitter, especially for such a long period, but she was fantastic. We even had a travel delay coming back, and she stayed an extra night to care for our pups (it was a HUGE relief!). The pups seemed very happy and well cared for, and so did our house. Her and her boys were a pleasure and we would absolutely book them again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ellisville
Omgoodness! Cynthia was such a God-send and a Blessing! She was able to do a meet and greet the night before we left on our trip. Everything was very last minute, but she was able to do it. All of my animals acclimated to her very well, and fairly quickly. Cynthia is also very friendly and easy going. COVE star
Lori was fantastic and we will definitely use her again if possible. Our Ollie is a rescue and very skidish around strangers. While he never warmed up to her enough to be petted, he did get close enough to take treats when offered. Lori never forced the situation with him. She sent us messages with updates and pictures throughout the weekend. You can tell that Lori is a real dog lover and your pet is safe with her.
Kelsey is fabulous! She watched my 4 pups and my son’s pup for a week. She sent pictures and updates. We were in communication throughout our trip. We came home and the pups were happy, the house was clean and laundry done! It was so wonderful to come in and not have to instantly start cleaning! She loves the dogs and I will definitely book with her again whenever she is available. Cannot recommend her enough!!
Alexis was amazing! Lots of updates (as requested!), left our pup happy and our home just as left it. She watered our plants, gave our dog medication as directed and lots of attention! Maverick had a health issue come up the morning we were set to leave and Alexis immediately took notes and was happy to administer medication. We were able to take our trip with minimal worries about our fur baby!
Lindsey did a great job sitting for my 2 dogs. She even took them for walks together which I have never done since I have a large fenced in yard. I believe they both warmed up to her and loved the walks. She was always quick to respond and kept me informed on how things were going. I came home to happy dogs which is always a good sign. I would highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
One of the best Dog Sitter I have ever had, willing to work with us in every capacity, and very, very, very good with elderly dogs. They absolutely adored him and took to him instantly I would recommend this gentleman to anyone that comes across my path 100%.
Brianna was absolutely wonderful! I have a very high energy dog who needs a lot of interaction and walks, and Brianna definitely gave him that and kept him active throughout the day. She took him on several long walks and sent me photos during and after each one. I could tell he was having the time of his life. I will definitely use her again.
Shruti was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated- it was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet!
Anna went above and beyond taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation! She asked very thorough questions ahead of our trip, which showed she cared about taking care of our dogs and our home to our satisfaction. She sent lots of pictures while we were away which was comforting, and left our home clean and organized. We were very happy with her service and comfortable having her in our 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .

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.
