About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve shared my life with my beloved dog (Bruno) since he was just 2 months old, and he is now 14 years old. Bruno has always been a challenge and huge motivation for me, as he can be anxious and reactive due to early experiences in his life; also a cocker Spaniel’s thing that can manifest within the breed. Growing alongside him has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, understanding, and adapting care to a dog’s changing needs throughout life. As a psychotherapist, I bring a calm, observant, and compassionate approach to caregiving. I also hold an international certificate in K9 puppy raising and training, which has deepened my knowledge of canine development and training. Fun fact! Im interested in Animal Assisted Therapy and that’s my next professional goal. I love spending time outdoors and exploring nature, and I enjoy making walks and playtime safe, enriching, and fun. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a beloved senior, my goal is to help every dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I understand that your dog is family, and I will treat them with the same care, respect, and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the day. I can plan walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their usual feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest schedules. I also have flexibility to provide companionship and regular updates while their families are away. My schedule allows me to be intentional about the time I dedicate to each pet, ensuring they receive attentive, loving care without feeling rushed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. Since I share my life with a senior dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to maintain routines, respect each pet’s individual needs, and provide a calm, safe environment. Specially with anxious and/or reactive dogs. For walks: I use secure leash handling, follow your preferred routes and instructions, and pay attention to your dog’s behavior and surroundings. I always prioritize safety over distance or pace. For drop-in visits: I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any other agreed-upon needs. I make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. For overnight stays: I respect your home and your pet’s familiar routines, providing companionship, supervision, and a consistent schedule to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Working from home gives me flexibility to coordinate visits and provide attentive care. I communicate with pet parents through messages and photos, and I follow their instructions regarding emergencies, veterinary care, and household rules. Before every booking, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, health needs, and any fears or triggers. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring, responsible hands.

“Skylar took great care of our 10yo dog Charlie, was very respectful of our home, and even cleaned up a bit so that everything was in order/looked nice upon our return. Skylar was quick to communicate with us and I felt that she was a trustworthy sitter. I would/will hire Skylar again to care for my four legged baby!”

About: I have lived my whole life with dogs and I am currently a Dog Mom of 1. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, including a summer job at a local dog + owner fitness facility and volunteering at stray rescue in STL. My pet is also a rescue, so I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra care and comfort. My main focus is to show your pet some extra love while they are patiently waiting for you to return, and to help you as a dog parent feel at peace, knowing your dog is being well taken care of. I am currently available all day and all weekdays as I do not have a full-time job that conflicts with my availability. I can also do weekends when advance notice is given. It is important to me that I get to know both you and your pet! I want everyone to feel safe and sound during appointments. For first-time customers: I am available for phone or video calls prior to the booking date, as well as in person meet and greets (when scheduled in advance). Afterwards, we can discuss communication preferences during visits and, if requesting regular care, what days/times you would like to book in the future.

“I've already rebooked with Ruth. We did a meet and greet with the pups since I have one that is very skiddish and is hesitant with strangers and by the end of the visit my pup would sit on the couch with Ruth! I felt very good knowing my pups were safe and being looked after while I was gone. She was phenomenal with the timing of my travels and wonderfully respectful of my home. I am beyond excited to have a reliable dog sitter, highly recommend!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and cat sitter! We have used Catherine twice as our sitter. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. While we were away, she stayed in our home and treated it — and our fur babies — like her own. We received updates when requested, a photo, and thoughtful check-in that gave us peace of mind. It was obvious our pets were not just being “watched,” but truly cared for and engaged with. Zoie who can be particular was on schedule and fell right back into her routine when we returned . Trusting someone with your castle and your pet is a big deal. She exceeded expectations in every way. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve had dogs for the past 12 years, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with a puppy’s energy, giving an older dog extra care and attention, or simply making sure a dog feels comfortable and loved while their owner is away. I’m happy to handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special routines or instructions to make sure every dog is well cared for. I currently work part time so I will always be able to make time for your furry friend! Check-ins will most likely be in the mornings or early afternoons. Whatever works for each pup I have a fenced in back yard that allows your pup to run around and play. My old man, Milo will be able to keep good company as well!

About: Hi! My name is Destinee, and I’m currently saving for my wedding while doing something I genuinely love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, chickens etc. and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure you receive updates and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Every booking helps me work toward my wedding, and I’m incredibly grateful for your support! I own and operate my own cleaning business, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. With advance notice, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play under supervision. I also have chickens, a friendly cat, and two children who have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals or children, so I’ll always discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic care, crate your dog if requested, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away.

About: I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a deep love for animals. Having cared for my own Golden Retriever for 13 years and providing pet sitting services for friends and neighbors, I’ve developed a strong foundation in pet care. My experience is primarily with dogs, but I also adore and have been around cats. My approach to pet care focuses on providing individual attention, maintaining routines, and ensuring safety and well-being. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and understand the importance of exercise and play for pets. I’m motivated by the joy of building bonds with different pets and seeing their unique personalities shine. Each pet receives personalized care tailored to their needs, ensuring they feel loved and secure while their owners are away. I offer a range of services including dog walking, overnight stays, administering medication, and anything else a client’s pet might need. My goal is to provide the highest level of care and ensure that every pet is happy and well-cared for. Feel free to reach out with any questions or specific requests. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I’m a full-time teacher with a consistent weekday schedule—out the door by 7 AM and home by 3 PM—which means your pup will get plenty of love and attention in the afternoons, evenings, and full availability on weekends, holidays, and breaks. Most dogs are used to their owners being gone during the day, so my routine works great for pups who are crate trained or used to a calm, midday break. After work, I dedicate time to walks and playtime, ensuring pets receive the attention and exercise they need. Over the past year, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and have added multiple XL crates to my house, making things super convenient for owners with crate-trained pups—no need to pack one! After work, I dedicate time to walks and playtime, ensuring pets receive the attention and exercise they need. Your pup will feel safe, loved, and right at home with me! To ensure the safety of pets, I have a very large, securely fenced-in yard where they can enjoy fresh air and play freely. Inside the home, I keep the environment pet-proofed by removing any potentially harmful items and maintaining a cozy, comfortable space with plenty of bedding and room for relaxation. I manage potential risks by thoroughly assessing and adjusting the environment to eliminate hazards and monitoring pets closely for any signs of distress. If I’m caring for more than one dog at a time, I always feed them separately to avoid any food-related stress or aggression. I have several XL crates available, which are primarily used to create a safe and calm space for feeding and rest—especially for pups who are already crate trained. To build trust with pets and their owners, I maintain clear and open communication, following the owner’s specific instructions and providing regular updates and photos. This transparency reassures owners and helps pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. My focus is on creating a safe, comfortable, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.

FAQs for House Sitting - Foristell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Foristell is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $37 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 634 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Foristell. 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 Foristell 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 Foristell 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 Foristell 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 with handling special pet needs in Foristell. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
