“"I cannot recommend highly enough! She took exceptional care of my dog, Maserati, while I was out of the country to Italy. We were not worried for his care one time. We were able to receive updates with photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog was happy, healthy, and well-exercised when I returned. If you’re looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter, Sarah is by far best choice!"”
“Paige did a great job with the house and 3 dogs for a week long assignment. I especially appreciated that she took out the trash and started the dishwasher before she left! I would recommend Paige to anyone needing someone to housesit with their dogs. Thanks Paige!”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”
“Heather is fantastic! We have an anxious dog that warmed right up to Heather and knowing that our dog and cat are in good hands while we are away, provides so much peace. Thank-you Heather!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently working 9-5 while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am also available before work and after work to care for your pets. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.
About: I've had pets my entire life. Im the person who saves all the neighborhood kitties. I'm comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. I would love to help care for your fur babies!! I have a very open schedule and am available most days and times. Please feel free to contact me I am available on short notice. I would currently prefer to come to clients homes not care for pets in my home i have lots of animals at my own home.
“Zach was amazing with Acacia, she’s super timid and he was very patient with her. I loved receiving photos and updates from him, and he really eased my mind while I was away from Acacia. I hope to work with Zach more in the future! 10/10 service. He also left the house exactly as we asked!”
About: Hi! Thanks for looking at my profile. I’m Karah. I first began pet/house sitting when I was living in Ecuador in 2012. I am well practiced with dogs of all sizes, cats of many temperaments, and critters ranging from fishes to bearded dragons. I am currently working part time at a craft store. As such I can be with your critters for most of the day. Everyone will be well looked after and let out, walked, given specific care, et al. Quite frequently. I am not able to keep pets in my own home. I have my own two dogs and a cat who claims his own space.
“Breanna did an amazing job at taking care of our 7 month old puppy!! This was our first time using the Rover app and she was so great at communication and very flexible. She was very kind and detail oriented. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Taylor followed all of our instructions perfectly and sent great photos of our dogs! We came home to our apartment looking the exact same as when we left. Would absolutely recommend and/or use again!”
“We are a repeat customer for Ginger. Ginger has a love of animals and especially our 80 pound Doodle, Lupin! We can always count on her taking excellent care of Lupin and our home when we are away. Everything is always perfect when we get back home. Looking forward to our next trip in which we will again be using Ginger! Thank YOU!”
“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”
About: I can train dogs I’ve trained many in the past and even mine ! Potty train walking on the leash bad behavior with aggressive eating and trained them to be patient as well. I groom clip nails clear ears sometimes I even trim their hair down I’m well at what I do. I was asking God what is it I can do and all I think about is helping others with their animals if it’s Gods will for my life all will fall into place and if your dog needs training I am that person to help you we can make appointments and I can help you with your pet. Your pet will need to have all his or her vaccinations including flea and tick prevention to keep all the animals safe and mines. They have to be crate trained at least and I can do the rest if not I can work on crate training as well. But I will prefer them to be crate trained. Although i pray in Jesus name you pick me to take care of your pets. Cats aren’t allowed in my home my husband is allergic I can only do dogs God bless and Jesus loves you all !!! Every morning I wake to take my pets outside around 6am every morning, I let them play outside sometimes we go on walks depending on the conditions of the weather if it’s to hot then no if it’s to cold then no I try to go on days I know the weather will be okay enough to take walks but I have a big fenced in back yard so I have a lot of space in my back yard to let them all run around and be free. In my home I would do as I always do train feed take on walks when can and have a great time. Although if in a clients home I always follow their rules I use to do wag and I had a high rating I’ve actually helped people with their dogs when they were out on trips and or just at work and needed someone to take their dog outside and that’s what I did never had anyone complain. I am very trustworthy.
“Aubrey was perfect really helped me when I was in a bind and I truly appreciate it! I'm forever grateful honestly. I think Mocha had a great time too! So that's always great! Would defiant recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Bethany and I have been caring for animals for my entire life. I even made a career out of it for a decade! Including schooling, I was in the animal care field from 2010 to 2014 and was a registered veterinary technician from 2014 to 2022, after which I pursued other career interests. If your pet has special needs, especially medical, I am equipped with the knowledge and skill to make sure your pet is well taken care of. My prices reflect the loving expertise I will show your pet while caring for them. While I am available and more than happy to look after your pets while you are temporarily away, such as for a vacation/business trip, I am currently unable to provide regular, long term care. If you would like services in addition to those listed here (nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, bathing/brushing, etc) please ask! I am a strong advocate of rescue/adoption, Fear Free techniques, and positive reinforcement training, however my passion lies in helping senior pets with hospice care. My first dog, Chewie, was diagnosed with cancer and I discovered this passion while caring for him in his final year. Currently, I have adopted a rescued puppy mill mama Yorkie named Rey and a Miniature Schanuzer named Wicket. However, I have experience caring for a whole range of animals including cats, rabbits, pocket pets, and exotics. I currently work part time, 5 hours a day, in either the evenings or the mornings, depending on what day of the week it is. While I am available and more than happy to look after your pets while you are temporarily away, such as for a vacation/business trip, I am currently unable to provide regular, long term care. While at a client's house, I prefer to keep to the pet's normal routine as much as possible as disruption can cause stress. So please let me know how you take care of your pets at home, what their daily routine is line, and how they spend their time so I can make sure they can be as stress free as possible while you are away.

We are a repeat customer for Ginger. Ginger has a love of animals and especially our 80 pound Doodle, Lupin! We can always count on her taking excellent care of Lupin and our home when we are away. Everything is always perfect when we get back home. Looking forward to our next trip in which we will again be using Ginger! Thank YOU!
We are so happy and glad we hired Leah and Mara and Sydnie! Amazing job, SUPER communicative, and so on point with our pets! They took care of our bearded dragons and cats. I was really thankful they also communicated when wind storms broke part of our fence and made sure everything was still ok in our house. Would love to hire them again next time we need a sitter! 10/10 recommend!
Janay & Carlton did wonderfully at our place with our critters. We were gone for 10 days and our anxious goldendoodle, young poodle, and teenager cat were very well taken care of. The house was very well kept and everything just as we left it. We will absolutely be rebooking them next time we leave town. Thanks y’all!!
Tazhae is awesome! She took great care of my 5 needy dogs and the house. She brought in my packages and the house was in great shape (clean) when I got home. Excellent communication and sent updates and pictures while we were gone. Have already booked to use again and would highly recommend!
Heather was amazing, from our meet & greet to the end of her stay with Lily. She's a great communicator, and was great with lily who has some separation anxiety. She even taught lily a few new tricks! Took care of the house as if it were hers. I super appreciate Heather and would definitely recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - Florissant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Florissant on Rover is $54.37 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 1,712 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
