“Amanda is excellent. Not only is her communication top notch but so is the care and attention to detail she had for my cats/my asks (her 1st sitting was for 18 drop ins over 10 days). My pets loved her too, she is clearly an animal lover, they came right to her on the 1st visit. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m Sarah! I’m a dog mom myself and genuinely love getting to spend time with other people’s pups. I started dog sitting for family and friends and loved it enough that I decided to branch out and meet some new furry friends! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs I’m caring for. I know every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes your pup happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner, I also know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without worrying about how your pup is doing. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and plenty of picture updates! Basically, I’m very happy being the person who talks to your dog like they’re a human and sends you way too many pictures of them. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day! I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routine so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, dogs are always leashed and supervised outside, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and multiple walks throughout the day. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for many years. I have two wonderful dogs Kona and Beans, both over the age of 10! Have yet to meet an animal who doesn’t like me! Can move around my schedule for whenever your pet needs! Available for after work drop ins as well! Please reach out if you need a sitter! Love playing in the yard with dogs, especially throwing the ball and playing fetch. Always make sure they have plenty of water afterwords. As well as lots of pets and belly rubs!
“This was our second time requesting Rebecca to watch our kitties and she was even more amazing this time (which I didn’t think was even possible)! She is so thoughtful and caring! She pays attention to the little details and treats our cats as though they were her own! We definitely have a favorite Rovwe sitter now!”
“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”
About: Hey. My name is Ali, I train dogs and this is a cool way to do what I love! I treat my dogs as if they were mine children & would do the same for anyone’s pet in my care. Making sure they’re comfortable and safe is my top priority. The way pet care fits into my day is regular because I’m taking care of my dogs and others literally all day so it’s a normal routine.

About: Looking for more than just a typical dog sitter? I’m Roosevelt, and for the past 8+ years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding canine behavior from the ground up. I specialize in working with high-drive and anxious dogs, using proven body language communication to build calm composure and trust. Whether you need structured walks, behavior maintenance, or overnight care, your dog receives professional oversight in a safe, controlled environment. You’ll stay connected with daily updates and photos every day they’re with me. Reach out today to lock in your Meet & Greet! As a professional dog trainer, pet care isn't a side hustle it is my full-time daily routine. My entire schedule is strictly structured around high performance exercise, advanced handling, and pack management. Whether training or boarding, dogs are fully integrated into my disciplined daily lifestyle from morning until night. When your dog steps into my care, they are entering a structured environment built for engagement, confidence, and high-energy fun! Rain, snow, or heat—weather is never an issue. I utilize controlled indoor exercise equipment, including a dedicated dog treadmill, to maintain physical conditioning year round. Safety and trust are my highest priorities. To build real-world focus and reliable obedience, I introduce structured outings to local, dog-friendly spots and high-distraction environments to keep their mental skills sharp as a tack. Whether working on precision focus, brain games, or physical fitness, your dog gets an ideal mix of clear discipline, high-reward fun, and deep relaxation. I respect your home, enforce your precise house rules, and deliver daily updates so you always have complete peace of mind!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.
About: Hello, my name is Amillia, and I’ve taken care of the animals. Almost my entire life from big dogs to hamsters and turtles. I currently own three dogs and a cat. I love all my animals and they mean the world to me. I’m great with senior animals and puppies unfortunately though I do not know how to train them. Thank you for choosing and trusting me!! I’m currently working full-time, but I do have about 3 to 4 off days during the week and I don’t work till evening so 3 to 10 if it’s perfectly into my schedule for mornings and or afternoon drop in. I have a completely fenced in yard with two big pickles and we have a lead out front for our small dog. They get fed daily. They go outside to play. They get walks car rides and even little puppuccinos. Our cat gets weekly litter changes. She’s older so she doesn’t play as much anymore and she gets fed up to as many as three times a day as well.
“Catelyn is truly wonderful with our dogs :) They are always so excited to see her, which is SUPER special since they are both rescues. She always leaves the house better than she found it and is extremely communicative. I know they are in good hands with her. Could not recommend more!”
About: Hey friends! I graduated with an AAS in Veterinary Technology in 2019 from Muscatine, Iowa. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2020 and I absolutely love it. I have a large passion for animal care and know that they deserve as much love as people do. My family and friends have always had animals as well, so I’ve helped with them here and there. I’ve done quite a few jobs on here and it’s always been a great experience! I am CPR trained for both cats and dogs and know how to give various medications in various ways. I worked at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville, IL for over 2 years and recently quit this year due to my CF, but I still keep up to date with my licensure! I can work with dogs, cats, and small exotic animals including hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, etc. Don’t worry, you can trust me with all of your fur babies!!! As previously mentioned, I quit working as a Vet Tech in 2023 do to hardships with my Cystic Fibrosis. I still do Rover jobs, so feel free to ask me if you need me! I had a baby earlier this year in April, so my schedule will depend on him and that of my hubbys! Other than that, just let me know and ask me! I don’t watch animals at my home due to our dog, Chief, being dog aggressive but I’m always happy to come to your home and visit your pets! I’m happy to follow a schedule or do whatever you need while at your home!
About: I grew up with pets but I’ve also spend the last 4 years fostering dogs therefore I’m so excited to spend time with your furry friends!

About: Cai has been providing in home pet care since she was a teenager and began boarding pets when she started grad school in 2020. Joe has been boarding cats since around 2019 and has began boarding dogs since 2024. My partner and I work from home and provide full time care, meaning that, unless discussed beforehand explicitly, your pet will not be left alone and you can rest easy knowing they have our full attention. We only accept more than one pet at a time if they live in the same house and we are pet free right now, so you dont have to worry about how they might get along with any other animals. We have a fenced in yard for your pup to run around in and we live minutes away from Tower Grove Park where I love to take walks.
“Mollie was so wonderful with my 15 yr old kitty! She came in every day for a week and sent pictures and messages to let me know everything was going OK. My kitty is known for hiding from pet sitters, but Mollie worked her charm and she came right out to see her! She truly is the cat whisperer! She gave me great peace of mind and even was kind enough to fill our bird feeder and take in the mail. Will definitely use Mollie again!”
About: I’ve pet sat for family friends multiple times over the years and have successfully kept pets alive, loved, and slightly spoiled. My own pet care journey really began when I moved in with my boyfriend almost a year ago—and with him came his cat, Onyx. Getting to help care for a rescue kitty has made me a certified softie for animals who need a little extra love. Living with Onyx has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read those very important cat moods (because cats definitely let you know how they’re feeling). I’ve also helped take care of my boyfriend’s bearded dragon, Harlow. From feeding time to habitat care, I’m comfortable following specific routines and making sure every pet—furred or scaly—is happy and healthy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with plenty of attention, cuddles, and care. Whether it’s a playful pup, a chill cat, or a unique pet with special needs, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away 💕🐶🐱🦎 I’m a college student with my evenings free, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve after a long day. Evening walks, playtime, feeding, and cozy cuddle sessions fit perfectly into my routine. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to stick to your pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar and stress-free while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddle time—so they feel right at home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Some pets want nonstop play, others prefer quiet company, and I’m happy to do both! I keep spaces clean, make sure food and water are fresh, and always prioritize safety. I also love sending photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Brenna! I can provide walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, and home visits to check on your pup or cat. I enjoy taking care of and walking dogs around my time working as a nurse. Depending on the day, I am available either nights or days and weekends. My schedule is flexible. I have taken care of small and large dogs and feel comfortable around all breeds. I can take your pup to the dog park and play frisbee or catch. I can check in on your cat, take care of litter, feed them, and play with them. Finally, I hope to get to know you and your dog or cat and provide excellent care! I work part time as a nurse, so my schedule is pretty open/flexible to be able to care for your pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. As an adult I got involved in helping train law enforcement dogs. After replying I came back and decided to become a professional dog trainer. I work overnight shifts a few days a week but am available most days during the day. I spend a lot of time working with my own dogs and can offer training if you are interested. I have a fenced yard and three dogs. I have a kennel room that allows for plenty of room for care and a basement that I use as a training facility. My dogs can be rotated on a basis if your dog is not pet friendly.
About: I have worked in vet care for almost a year, I've learned how animals work, and heard about how to help puppies get used to you playing with their feet as ears. I can work with them every day of the week but would need the weekends off for myself, but I will dedicate my week to the animals. I am very gentle with my animal at home but firm when she acts up, I'm very playful and love to play with her when she is in the mood

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
