About: I am a big animal lover and I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I could remember! I am very comfortable around dogs and I am willing to adapt to how to best take care of your pupper! I would love to take them on walks around the neighborhood and to the dog parks so they could interact with other dogs while you’re away. As a side note, I have a pup of my own - an energetic miniature poodle who loves walks and cuddling. I am available on the weekends if you want to take a trip or on weekday evenings after 5:30 if you have a date night or need a night away! I provide dog walks, enrichment activities, and of course- lots of snuggles- during my care routine for dogs. Dog walks typically include 30 minute walks around the neighborhood to give your dog mental stimulation and get some sniffs in. Drop ins include potty breaks, feeding, medication (if needed), and lots of pets and belly rubs!
“Katharine was great! Our kitties warmed right up to her and were happy to receive pets and play while we were away. She was prompt, provided helpful updates, and was so kind. Thank you Katharine! 😻😻”

“Alex was outstanding! She is professional, dependable, and an excellent communicator. It was clear from the moment we met that she genuinely loves animals, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She took wonderful care of my dog and cat during each drop-in visit and consistently provided timely updates and photos so I always knew they were doing well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Alex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter through Rover.”

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 Glen Carbon 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.

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.
