“Caitlin was incredible with my senior diabetic cat. She gave her her shots and at the times I asked her to, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. I will absolutely book her again.”
“Kelly is the absolute best! We’ve used her multiple times for both drop in visits and house sitting. She has always taken great care of all our animals and able to give meds no problems. She has gone above & beyond and we will absolutely use Kelly again-highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Laura was excellent when it came to our two cats! She was there to feed and play with them, while also providing copious amounts of pictures of them looking happy and healthy! Definitely hire her if you need a pet sitter!”
“Haley was great! Always on time and took great care. This was our first time having Haley over and she checked in on two different days. Would recommend and request again.”
“Ashley is a great cat-sitter. She listened to me carefully, took care of my cat’s needs and did a great job overall. My cat got friendly with her pretty quickly. Highly recommended!”
About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! Hello, I currently work during the day as an office manager at a local advertising agency. My schedule is hybrid - I work form home Mondays and Fridays, so I am very flexible. I currently live in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the McKinley Heights negihborhood. There is both a front and backyard in my building but I also often walk to Lafayette Square, which is nearby.
“Katie looked after my 3 cats for drop in visits and was excellent! She was able to do medicine for the little one and everyone was happy when I got home.”
“Griffin was great! He helped Momo when we needed a sitter last minute. He asked thoughtful questions and really hit it off with Momo during their meet and greet. 10/10 would recommend as a sitter and we’re looking forward to scheduling more visits!”
“My brother and mom left positive feedback to me about her while I was gone. Bastet and Ginger were pretty happy when I came back. I'm told especially Ginger really liked her and was genuinely looking forward to her visits which is unusual considering she's a pretty scared dog. I'm super happy with the treatment.”
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.
About: I have always been a dog owner and welcome any dog into our home. There is no greater love than the companionship of a dog. I work full time but am available to care for dogs in the evening and on the weekends. They will also get special attention in the morning hours. I have a fenced in backyard and a silver Labrador of my own that loves to play with any and all dogs. I can accept crate trained dogs if needed.
About: I’m enthusiastic about caring for dogs of a large range of ages and sizes! I’m a runner and would specifically love to take your dog for however much exercise (running and/or walking) they require! I also am very much a cat person, and I have three cats of my own that each have their own unique needs. I’m currently working as a physician in training at WashU. My schedule is variable from week to week, so during weeks when I have lots of free time I’d be excited to provide dog walking services, drop-in checks on your pets if you’re out of town, or house sitting (depending on my availability). I feel equipped to provide for your pet’s unique needs. For dog owners, I specifically would be able to provide extra exercise to your dog since I’m an experienced runner. I would love the opportunity to take your dog on a run (to match their endurance/energy level, of course).
About: I grew up with a house full of animals! Including three dogs, a cat, two guniea pigs, and my little sisters breaded dragon!!Throughout high school I also volunteered at animals shelters, it gave me a lot of hands on experience caring for dogs! I’m a junior in college, and I am looking to make a couple extra dollars for tuition! So my weekly schedule consists of classes, studying, and free time for your pets! I love all animals, and have looked after many before! I will be able to provide a fun interactive, entertaining environment for pets of all kind!
About: I have two super goofy, friendly, and loving male Pit bulls. I work from home so will be around pretty much all the time. I take my dogs on a walk mostly 3 times a day but again I’m around a lot and get bored easily so might be 5 times a day :) My dogs are definitely spoiled and should not expect anything less for your pet when I’m watching them! I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special care such as taking medicine. Mostly home all day and night. I work from home so your pet will always be attended too unless I leave to make a quick errand run. My dogs do have cages but they are barely in them. Whenever I do leave my dogs stay out freely but they do well in their cages when needed. They do get along very well with other pets. Small dogs or large dogs.
About: I love animals they are my passion my life is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of our furry companies and making you life a little easier I'm a recent graduate taking a gap year, I am available every day for scheduling, except for Mondays, from 7 pm to 9 pm. 🖤 Every pet is different so my first job is to listen to the people caring for the pet about their needs (medication, potty time, feed time, etc) and take care of the pet accordingly!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Granite City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Granite City 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
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. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Granite City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
