“Kacy P. was an amazing sitter for our three fur babies (two cats and a dog)! We recently took a ten-day vacation and needed someone who would love our pets as much as we do, and Kacy was the perfect match. I was extremely hesitant at first because I am so attached to our dog, Ripley—and both of us suffer from a bit of separation anxiety! But Kacy was wonderful, sending consistent updates and videos. Even my family members on vacation with me kept asking every day, 'Can we see today's video of Ripley?' Kacy gave loads of attention to Ripley, Happy, and Delilah, taking fantastic care of both our pets and our home. They couldn't have been in better hands! I highly recommend Kacy to anyone looking for a sitter who will do far more than just check in, but will truly shower your animals with love.”
“Kyle was exactly the type of sitter we were looking for. We found him so personable, friendly and loved our puppies. He did an excellent job and will use him again. This was our first time using River and we were thrilled with this service. Of course Kyle made it a great experience for us and the puppies.”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands that pets are more than just animals, they’re family. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting tailored to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Visits can include neighborhood walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, companionship, and enrichment. Whether your dog has energy to burn, your cat enjoys some quiet company, or your pet simply needs someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make their time with me enjoyable. I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know the individual pet. Every animal has their own personality, habits, comfort level, and favorite things. Some pets are immediately excited to make a new friend, while others need a little patience before they feel comfortable. I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the attention they need. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. One of the biggest advantages I can offer is flexibility. I currently have an open schedule, allowing me to dedicate substantial time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting and can often accommodate different schedules and routines. Rather than rushing through a visit, I enjoy taking the time to interact with pets, give them exercise and enrichment, and make sure they’re comfortable before I leave. I also understand that good communication is an important part of pet care. I’ll pay attention to your pet’s behavior and needs, follow any special instructions you provide, and keep you informed during visits. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is getting individual attention and care. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Getting to know their personalities, earning their trust, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply sitting beside them is something I find rewarding. My goal is for every pet to look forward to seeing me and for every owner to feel confident that their pet is in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need a little extra attention, exercise, companionship, or love. I currently do not work, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or sitting anytime you need. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I always prioritize your pet’s with safety, comfort, and will follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, and house rules. I can also crate your dog, keep pets separated, provide medication, etc. when needed.
“Awesome!! Love the communication and pictures! I knew my two crazy dogs were in great hands. When my plans changed a bit, she was flexible and helpful. Thank you!!!”
“Kathryn did a fantastic job watching our boys! She and Marlee took great care of them. She was super accommodating with our schedule and was very easy to work with! Will definitely book again”
“Allyson took great care of Maverick and he loved her - he’s sometimes selective in who he likes but he immediately felt comfortable with her. She sent me updates, left my house exactly as it was, and even picked up his poop in the yard. I had to change plans and times a few times and she was more than accommodating. I’ve already booked her two more times because I know I can trust she’ll take care of my pup.”
“Tracey saved us! We stayed in an Airbnb in Hermann, Missouri and our dogs were upsetting the other Airbnb guest with their barking. Tracey stayed with them and calmed them down while we were out wine tasting! She was so sweet and swiftly came to our Airbnb to help! 10/10 quality! She is amazing! Thank you Tracey. My husband and I can’t thank you enough!”
“Allyson was great with Sadie. She is normally a shy dog, but she warmed right up to Allyson and was cuddling with her in no time she kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend using Allyson to take care of your dog she is great”
“We are very happy with the care our dogs received. Kayla is reliable and great with communication. We have already booked for future stays! I would absolutely recommend. Thank you Kayla!”
“We appreciate everything you did Ruth! Great communication, reliable, went beyond our expectations. Our trip would not have been the same if we didn't have you watching our pets and home. Highly recommend!!”
“Rylee was fantastic!!! She was very communicative the entire trip and sent several photos every day. I could tell my pup was being very taken care of! I would recommend her to anyone and would book her again!”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
About: I have worked with dogs for quite a while now, started off as a boarding attendant at kennelwood, then managed some group play at dogtopia. I do now work full time at a spa. But, I am looking forward to taking care of your pet rather that’s dog-walking, pet sitting! I do know how to administer medication, and care for senior pets! Questions? book with me today. This is a part-time thing for me. I work full time at a veterinary clinic! This is more of a monthly thing for me. I care for pets in clients home, same with drop-in’s and walks. I stay in contact with clients via text/call. I always provide pictures during the stay.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, have shared my home with cats as an adult, and have cared for both a hamster and a chinchilla. (Did you see the old photo of me in my highchair feeding King, my family's German Shepherd?) I've also pet-sat for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From keeping up with their daily routine to playtime, walks, treats, and cuddles, I'll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I give my own. I am retired from full-time work and have time to care for furry family members while their humans are away. Plus, I absolutely LOVE walking, and walking your dog certainly would be more entertaining than walking by myself! I will care for your pet(s) in your home according to your instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your pet(s) while giving you complete peace of mind.
About: I’m an animal lover and pet owner just looking to help other pet parents. I can take your dog on runs or hikes if desired, or we can just go for a casual stroll. I’ve dog sat and house sat in the past, so let me give you some peace of mind when you are traveling! Your pets will be loved like one of my own and given the best care possible. I am in between jobs right now so I have lots of flexibilty, even on holidays! No pet is too big or too small and no task too hard! I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and horses. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate almost any needs at any time of day. Please reach out to me with your specific schedule and I will see what I can do to assist. I do not currently take pets in my home for boarding as I have a dog who prefers to be the center of attention. But I am willing to and comfortable with providing any sort of care in the comfort of your pet’s home. I am more than happy to facilitate outside activities like hikes, parks, or even just socialization outings. If your pet has any special needs at home, I am more than happy to listen and accommodate!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Flinthill
I can't say enough good things about Kathryn! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving our Golden Retriever Molly. Kathryn set my mind at ease from the very first messages we exchanged. Her communication skills are excellent. Whenever I messaged her, she responded within a few minutes with a clear detailed response. At the meet and greet, she was great with Molly and listened closely to care instructions. On the day that we left for our vacation, Kathryn arrived at the agreed upon time. She sent a message and photos of Molly already snuggling with her on the couch. During our vacation she sent a message once every day with information about how Molly was doing and that she was eating well. With every message she also sent pictures. I don't know how, but my dog seemed to always be smiling and living her best life in the photos! Kathryn also took great care of our house while we were gone. She watered our plants and left our house clean. I would 100% use Kathryn as a sitter again!!!!
Kyra did a great job looking after our pup! She was flexible with times making sure that our dog got his medicine and the care he needed! Most importantly she made sure she took care of our pup as if we were there with him and that was the biggest relief off our shoulders being away from him. We will continue to book with her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Flinthill 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 Flinthill 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.
Tip: 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 Flinthill 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
