About: I have owned dogs for 30 years of many different breeds and temperaments. I am very active with my own dog going to the dog park or hiking daily and have room for a few dog friends to go. I am available all days and hours with time to spend walking and going on adventures with dogs and keeping them mentally stimulated and happy. I have a puggle that is young and energetic so small nippy dogs will need prior introduction. He gets along great with big friendly dogs. I have a fenced yard and a puggle to keep your dog company and a dog door for them to go in and out. I will be present at all times when caring for your dog. I only accept dogs that are potty trained for indoor boarding.
“Denise has now been nice enough to house and dog sit for us a multiple amount of times and we have some booked in the future with her. We can confidently say we absolutely love having her take care of our pups and they love her too! She really goes above and beyond. She wrapped our Danes foot everyday for us on a wound she wouldn't leave alone and leaves us kind notes! Highly recommend. Really happy with her and Rover.com. - Chelsea and Tyler”
“Erin was incredibly helpful looking after my cats! She agreed to house sit last minute and over a holiday week and made sure to take extra special care of my cat while he was recovering from an illness. She was very sweet and I will definitely use her again for my next trip!”
“Edyn was a wonderful Rover for my 6 yr old mini Schauzer. In fact, we've booked her again already. She's very prompt, sent photos and updates, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommended”
About: my name is Eleanor. I've had pets my entire life and for the past 12 years, I've started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m currently working part time so i’ll have plenty of time for you pets needs and desires. I do offer boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced in back yard and a very friendly golden retriever who loves everyone. She is also kennel trained if needed to be separated. I have plenty of toys and enrichments if desired. Will not be kenneled unless owner requests has access to the house. Pets are treated like family members
“Lisa did a great job in watching my dogs Mercury and Hermes. Hermes was only 11 weeks old, so I was worried how he would do, but it was evident that both dogs had a lot of fun and were well cared for. Lisa took them hiking and carried Hermes when the hike was too far. It is evident that Lisa loves dogs and has fun watching them. I will definitely use her again when traveling.”
“Amanda is the best!!! We are SO happy we found her. She has such a calm, gentle, and genuine demeanor that put us completely at ease while away on a sudden work trip. I have a lot of anxiety leaving my pup and it’s not easy to let a stranger in your home, but after one time meeting Amanda, I was calmed! She stayed at our home for 5 nights, offering photos and updates, going on walks and hikes, and tided up before leaving. Can’t wait to have her back!”
“Jessie was amazing! She came through at the very last minute to house sit with my dogs and cats. She met them the day before and they did great for her. She sent lots of updates with pictures each day and I wasn’t worried at all. I will definitely use Jessie again when I need someone I trust to watch my dogs.”
“Our dogs love Ms. Chris. She is professional and caring. She took time to walk and play with the dogs, provided daily updates with texts photos, which put us at ease. We will definitely book her again.”
“Rebekah did a great job house sitting for us! She watered plants, brought in mail and newspapers as well as caring for our two dogs. Rebekah sent pictures and communicated daily with me which really helped me feel comfortable that my fur kids were in good hands. I will certainly use her again!”
“Danielle is wonderful. She took our dog on lots of hikes while we were gone and left the house very clean. She’s super responsive and very thoughtful! I would love to have her watch our pup again.”
“Stephanie was great. The dogs took to her immediately. She was a great communicator. She sent photos while I was away. She was very tidy and took great care with everything. We would definitely love to have her back again.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, from hedgehogs to horses. I love spending time with pets, keeping them safe and comfortable, and treating each one like they’re part of my own family. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my day making sure animals are fed, exercised, and comfortable, and I enjoy spending time playing, cuddling, or going on walks. I like keeping a consistent schedule so pets feel safe and secure, and I follow any special instructions you have for their care. I’m available for pet sitting and walks Sunday through Tuesday, as I work a full-time job on the other days. I have a small fenced in yard at my home and plenty of space in my neighborhood for walks. I feed AM/PM and crate at night.
“David is the best! Not only did he take wonderful care of our pets while we are away, he also took great care of our home. I think our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left! He was great at communicating and sent picture updates of the animals. Couldn’t have asked for better for our pets!”
“Maria is an exceptional sitter. We cannot recommend her highly enough. We wouldn't hesitate to have Maria sit for us again. In fact, we rebooked her for our next trip before we even got on the plane home!! She's just that good. Of course, we came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. But we had no doubt about that after seeing how happy she was in the pictures Maria sent over and after hearing Maria gush over how much she was enjoying spending time with her. It was nice to feel like we were leaving our pup with someone who liked being around her as much as we do. She took phenomenal care of our sweet girl, gave her so many cuddles, spent an absurd amount of time hanging out in the sunshine with her, and followed our requests to a T. Maria was kind, loving, and so attentive to whatever our pup needed. Maria sent plenty of pictures and videos so we never worried or had a chance to miss our beloved dog too much. It was amazing!! We've never had such a stress-free travel experience with a sitter before; we didn't worry one bit about her because we were confident she was in such great hands. Seriously, you cannot go wrong working with Maria. She is such a professional but also clearly cares about her charges. It was an outstanding experience having her house sit. Genuinely, we can't express our gratitude enough even after all this gushing. We can't wait to have her back.”
About: Hello! My name is Amy. I have many loves in my life which include my 9 children, my beautiful granddaughters, and my dogs! I've taken care of all kinds of dogs for 27 adult years and even when I was a kid I helped take care of our family dog. Our family loves dogs! I can bathe, brush, walk, administer medicine, and love on your family pet. I've trained many puppies with much success. I am my friends and families go to dog sitter. I am here most days with my kids who love to play and love on animals. Your dog will have access to the outside and inside of the house. I understand that leaving your beloved family member is hard but I will send you updates and photos all through their stay to reassure that they are having a great time while you are away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I do work part time outside the house. I am flexible with setting appointments or even spur of the moment I am currently working part time outside the home, so I have plenty of time to play with your family pet when I am not working. At our house your dog is part of our family and my children are all involved in the care and love of your pet. Your dog will be tired and happy when you come get them after having lots of playtime and loving. They won’t want to leave here.
“House was cleaner than when we left. Dogs were very well taken care of and great communication while we were home. Thanks so much. Second time we’ve used Sarah and we hope she is available when we need sitting again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Samantha was an AMAZING dog sitter for our sweet boy Wallace. We came home to a sweet and calm boy, and we could just tell how loved and attended to he had been during our time away. We appreciated her communication and she sent a few pics of our sweet boy, to let us know how he was doing. BONUS - she did an amazing sketch/doodle of him that I DO plan on framing bc it’s so incredible. Would recommend her to anyone!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Florissant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Florissant on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Florissant. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Florissant 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 Florissant 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 Florissant 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Florissant. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
