About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.
“I could tell from the moment we met Ashely our girls were in good hands. She was so thoughtful getting to know them and their routine. It clearly showed, how the girls weren’t even phased mom and dad were gone. Her notes made me feel at ease and like I was there. Thank you for making your way into the cheese family!”

“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”

“Andrea was fantastic and took great care of our pets! She was reliable and we were very happy with all her services. Definitely recommend and would certainly use her again!”

“We’ve utilized Rachel’s drop-in visit service for our pug. Rachel is amazing & we love her. She is patient & caring of our dog & if there are any modifications that need to be made to the dog service reservation due to any unforeseen circumstances, she always contacts us in advance. 🩵”

“Valerie was very sweet to my fur babies. She went the extra mile and took wonderful care of them while I was on vacation. I am a rover sitter as well and I would highly recommend her. Thanks Valerie!”

About: I have experience working at a kennel where I cared for many cats and dogs at once. I was responsible for walking, bathing and feeding these animals along with checking on them throughout the day to make sure they were comfortable and safe. My friends and family have always relied on me to watch any animals while they were away. I have also given medication for diabetic dogs. I am currently working full time and am working at home while having a flexible work schedule. It would be very easy for me to incorporate drop in visits and dog walks into my schedule. There is a dog park near my apartment along with plenty of places to walk. I enjoy long daily walks within the neighborhood I live in.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairview Heights
Lauren has been amazing with our pup. She is super patient with our playful, sometimes stubborn and now teething puppy. She has also been a great communicator and extremely reliable. We are so grateful to have her help us with mid day check ins as we transition back to school and work.

We were very pleased to meet Rachel - she was warm and smart and confident; had a good way with the dogs! I somewhat hate to leave her the great review she deserves for fear she will be booked up next time we need her! LOL - Seriously, she was beyond my best expectations!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fairview Heights 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.
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 Fairview Heights 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
