“Beth did a phenomenal job caring for our cat while we were out of town. She was excellent with communication, and I could tell from her many pictures that our cat felt so comfortable around her. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Five stars!”
“Tricia is awesome! Our kitties were always glad to see her! Appreciate Tricia getting our stubborn feline’s meds in her mouth when it appeared she staged a canned food revolt!”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life. While I’m not ready to adopt yet, I’d love to care for yours. I’ve fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend’s cat for about a year during COVID, and have cat-sat for friends many times. I also have some experience with dogs through friends—walking them together, spending time at dog parks, and playing with them at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.
“Elisabeth is a pet whisperer. Our shy cats came up to her immediately and knew they were safe. Unfortunately she had to handle an emergency and stayed with our pet the pet hospital until we could get there. She’s terrific.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia. She was friendly, attentive, and took great care of our dog while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and she kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure all of her needs were met. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“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.”
“Visits with messages and pics were thorough and appreciated! Both cats seemed to do just fine without us. LOL Will definitely book again if Callie is available. Thank you, Callie!”
“Paige followed instructions exactly as laid out, was on time, and the dogs clearly loved her. She is so friendly and such a warm presence, dogs warmed up to her immediately. Very lucky to have run across 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.
“Emma was great with my boys! They really enjoyed her company, and the snuggles. They were well taken care of and it was very nice to not have to worry about them. Thank you for a great experience!”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped train my family’s dogs in the past so if there are any reinforcements or cues necessary on walks I’m more than capable of helping to keep a routine! I’m currently full time graduate student, but I have some free afternoons with plenty of time to walk your pets! I am also flexible to do drop ins for potty breaks and evening feedings. I do not have any pets but I can help care for your pet with walks! If there are specific needs your dog requires such as to be crated after walks I am more than willing to follow any directions for making sure your pet is safe and comfortable!
“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.”
About: Animals are our family members. There’s a good reason they say dog is mans best friend. Dogs are special. I have owned several dogs over the past 30 years I have dog sat for several friends and family members. I know your fur babies are precious which is why I treat them like they are my own. I have always only had good experiences with dogs. I am a sahm, so breaks to play or walk with a dog are welcome! We love being outdoors. Supervised Play keeps everyone safe and happy:) I homeschool one of my two kids so we have a pretty flexible schedule. We have a goldendoodle pup named Gracie she loves walks and chasing tennis balls and she would love some doggie friend play dates! We take several walks daily, trips to the park for a fun run or play in the yard with tennis balls and bubbles. Dogs will always be on leash to keep them close and supervised unless they are enclosed in a safe area.
“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 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.
“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!”
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.

I felt very comfortable having Beth care for Willow. They seemed to form a friendly bond immediately. Beth adhered to my suggested schedule of visits and prompted forwarded me information about those visits. Please compliment Beth and apply a $10 tip. Thank you!
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.

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 .

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.

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.
