“Elisabeth was kind and patient with our cat. Our cat got defensive during the first visit but Elisabeth still came back to take of him for all scheduled visits. We appreciate her understanding.”
“The best! When one of my goofballs nearly knocked herself out during play, she contacted me about the situation and had our vet info on speed dial just in case. Luna’s fine, btw! Beth also got my dogs to safety during a scary weather situation. Don’t know what I’d do without her!”
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
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.
About: I have been taking care of dogs of any kind ever since I can remember! I have been working at a local daycare and boarding facility for three years, and have been taking care of neighbor and family dogs for my whole life, I promise to give you an above and beyond experience! ❤️ I work part time at a local daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of time on my hands! I am home from college for the summer, so I am willing to spend as much time as possible with your pet! I have a sweet elderly dog named Olive to keep your pet company! And most importantly, I have a large yard to keep your dog active and on their feet!
“Sorry for the delay in getting this posted but I wanted to thank you again for taking such great care of my cats! It is so nice to know that you can be relied on to take care of them so well and it is one less thing I have to worry with when I am gone. Thanks again and I will reach out next time I go away!!!”
“Alli was everything I hoped for in a petsitter. I felt comfortable leaving my three big dogs in her care. She was on time with her visits and did everything I requested. I will be asking for her help again in a month or two.”
“Alicia was not only available last minute but connected with our two dogs the second they met. She provided updates with each visits and wonderful pictures. It was apparent when we returned that the dogs had been loved. Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up around and taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits and I have a lot of experience taking care of animals at rescues as well. Caring for animals is something that has always been a consistent part of my life. I’m currently in college and apart from babysitting a couple times a week, my schedule is very open and I am super flexible. I’m usually available for a meet and greet same day or next day, and I consistently answer my phone quickly. I go to university in the fall and spring, keeping me close to the area at all times. My schedule is very open, so I will be able to spend adequate time playing with and giving attention to your pet. I can be home almost all day if you wanted, spend the night with them and can take them outside as frequently as you like. I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I would treat my own. I am flexible, being able to provide just about any kind of care for your pet and open communication for you!
“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!!!”
“Gloria was absolutely wonderful while I was away. She was punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout my entire trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave me total peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Gloria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog walker.”
“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!”
“Jessica is an absolute pet-sitting superstar! Both Miley and Bruce Wayne, our stress-prone elderly pup and food-aggressive Corgi, were in her care at our home for 4 days, and she exceeded all expectations. Jessica went the extra mile to make Miley feel at ease, providing constant updates with photos, ensuring accidents were promptly handled, and giving her plenty of outdoor playtime. For Bruce Wayne, who has food aggression, which is common among Corgis, Jessica's attention to detail and adherence to specific feeding areas made the experience stress-free. We highly recommend Jessica, she’s a true gem in the world of pet-sitting!”
“Millie was amazing and attentive with our dogs! You can tell she truly loves dogs and cares that they are comfortable when being dog sat. She followed all of our instructions and sent detailed check in notes. Will definitely book again”
“Amy is an outstanding person and pet sitter. My puppy is so happy to have her come by for her visits. She is timely with communication, pleasant, and she takes exceptional care of my pet. I really appreciated her flexibility and attention to detail.”
About: As a performer who travels the world by sea, I know how comforting the love of an animal can be and while I’m away I miss that connection so much! I have loved, snuggled, and pet animals around the world and while I’m back on land I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same attention! I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up in a home full of furry friends. My parents volunteer with Duo Dogs, so our house has always been a revolving door of puppies and big dogs alike. Two of our English Labs are especially sensitive to fireworks and thunderstorms, so I’m no stranger to calming anxious pups with patience, love, and a gentle hand. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, some cozy snuggle time, or maybe it’s your turn to get out and see the world, I’m here to keep your pets happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is wide open during my time home-so don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s set something up! Since I am taking a land break, my schedule is very open! I enjoy my time at the gym, but other than that I don’t have many routine commitments. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in your home where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and treat your home with care. You can trust that your pet will be loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Absolutely amazing, we have two dogs and one is a rescue who is very nervous around some people but is a great judge of character! He adored Amy and she sent us update pics of our puppies and met my fiancé and the dogs the day before and was absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend her 10/10 ☺️☺️”
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 :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ellisville
Patricia does not let anything stop her from taking care of the pets she is assigned to, not even a locked house with no way in. She was in immediate contact and did not give up trying to get in the house to my pets. As any pet owner knows it is stressful to leave your pets in the care of someone else but I am completely confident in Patricia giving them the very best care possible! I am a repeat client and will continue to be so in the future.
Kayleigh took such great care of my dog during her drop-in visits. She was incredibly flexible with my scheduling requests which made everything so much easier. I could tell my dog really enjoyed spending time with her and looked forward to seeing her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and reliable hands!
Do not hesitate to schedule Angela to care for your pet while away from home. Rover was highly suggested when I needed help w my cat while away for the holidays. Normally I can rely on others, however, a daily dose of oral medicine was required; I felt better knowing Angela was responsible to make sure it was given each day. Glad I met Angela, she will be my first choice next time.
Gloria was absolutely wonderful while I was away. She was punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout my entire trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave me total peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Gloria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog walker.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ellisville on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,703 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ellisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ellisville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
