About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.
About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family! I’m caring, patient, and attentive, and I love giving pets plenty of love, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾💕 Hi! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m dependable, caring, and would treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to help with walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting! 💕 I have a nice-sized home and prefer pets who enjoy being indoors. Your pet will have their own comfortable space in my home, and you’re welcome to bring a crate or kennel if they’re more comfortable with their own setup. I can also provide their usual food if needed. I have two children, ages 2½ years and 7.5 pmonths. My older child is very mature and understands boundaries and directions. I’ll always gradually introduce her to your pet and only allow interaction if you’re comfortable with it. Otherwise, your pet can have plenty of quiet space downstairs with me. I also have safety gates on my stairs to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.
“This is my second time booking with Sabrina, who is always quick to respond, super enthusiastic and thorough. Surprisingly, even my extra shy cat came out to visit and get pets. Very grateful!”
About: Hi! I’m Tim—Star Sitter in Florissant. Your dog will be cared for in a clean, calm home with a secure fenced yard, lots of supervised play, and consistent potty breaks every 2–4 hours. I work from home most days, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have provided in-home and boarding care for the last couple of years. I’m comfortable with senior dogs and can administer oral and injected medications when needed, following your instructions closely. -Star Sitter with strong reviews and repeat clients -WFH most days = more supervision -Secure fenced yard + structured play -Comfortable with seniors + medication routines -Fast replies and regular updates I am available weekdays and most weekends and can offer overnight care. I work from home most days so someone is always with the pets. Safety and comfort are my priority. I have a high, fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor time, and I supervise play to keep things positive and low-stress. My two dogs are friendly and social, and I only accept dogs who do well around other dogs so everyone stays comfortable. “I’m happy to do a quick meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit.”
About: I've been around pets off and on my entire life. I have experience walking small and medium size dogs regularly, including putting on and taking off harnesses. I am not afraid to roll around on the floor and play with them. I am a firm believer in using dog communication, such as eye contact or lack thereof, and in keeping with the training that already started. If you always put a hand flat for sit, it means sit, if it means lay down, it means lay down. I follow your lead, you know your dog best. I'm currently in between jobs so I'm very consistently open, I will update my availability if something comes up for a day, and I hate letting people down so I pay close attention so I don't overbook myself. Consistency is key for most animals, I'm willing to work with you to maintain the status quo, so to speak, with your pets routine, food, and training.
About: I genuinely, whole heartedly love animals. Have worked with animals (grooming, walking, feeding) since 15, work with young & senior also give meds & arthritis massages. Patient, kind, loving and ready to spread my love for animals. Have worked at Kennelwood, No Leash needed, Camp Bow Wow and volunteer at the humane society. All animals deserve love. I’m available to house sit or pop in for walks, I start my new job 8-4 M-F so available anytime to house sit during the week & weekend would just be out during that time if house sitting. I love to go for walks and play so your baby will definitely be stimulated with me around!

My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.

“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”
“We really appreciate Tony being available for our last-minute request! He went above and beyond by spending extra time with our dog, and we could tell she had a wonderful time. The playtime and attention he gave her during the middle of the day was exactly what she needed. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was happy, cared for, and getting the activity she loves. We would definitely recommend Tony and appreciate his flexibility, kindness, and dedication!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra playtime or a shy cat who just wants quiet companionship, I adapt to each animal’s personality. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and experienced with everything from basic care to administering medications. My goal is to give pets a stress-free, comforting experience while keeping you updated and worry-free. I'm currently studying for my exams and only working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies! I am available 7 days a week, from 10am-9pm. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks, playtime in the yard, tug-of-war, fetch, or just some good old belly rubs and snuggles. For cats, I’ve got feather wands, laser pointers, and cozy cuddle sessions covered (if they’re the snuggly type, of course!). I love creating a happy, low-stress environment where your pets can relax, play, and enjoy their day while you're away. Whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they have a purr-fectly wonderful time! 🐶🐱💛

“First time user and was very skeptical to have a stranger come into my home and care for my doggies. I am so happy and very pleased that I found Jennifer. She is very kind and my puppy who is normally barking and fearful of strangers warned up and kissed and played with her. Will be using her again and always. Dogs look happy and safe. She even snapped and sent some of the very cutest close up photos of our fur babies during her check-ins.”

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 .

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.
