About: I grew up with numerous pets; cats, dogs, hamsters, and even a sugar glider. I love animals and the playful energy they bring! I am used to caring for multiple animals at once and have no issues doing so! I’m currently a full-time college student. I am available on the weekends and in the early morning/late evenings during the week. I enjoy running and being active so I’d love to have a furry friend to accompany me! I currently live in a townhome with a large unfenced yard that faces the woods. I can easily crate if needed and I am very active so active dogs are welcome!

About: I have had pets since I was 7 years old. Growing up, my family had a beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, for 12 years. I also had a bonded pair of bunnies, Bo and Minette, for over 13 years (up until this February). I am an avid bunny lover and have extensive bunny care knowledge. The first couple years of my time in college I couldn't have a dog of my own. Instead, I volunteered at the APA in St. Louis. There, I learned how to care for and interact with dogs from Great Danes and Mastiffs to 4-pound chihuahuas and all the ages and personalities in between. Since then, I have adopted my own dog, Nala. She is a 5-year-old pitbull lab mix who is my child and love of my life! I am a full time student and I have class 9-3 Monday- Thursday and Fridays 1-3. Most weekends I am available too! Please message me for more information! When caring for your fur babies (or hairless, I don't discriminate), I am meticulous following any directions left for me. I will give your pet all the love they could want! Even if that might just look like sitting near them if they are on the shyer side. For the stage 5 clingers, I love snuggling, playing with and just loving on your baby while you are away. I always send at least 1-2 photos a day to pet parents to keep them up to date with their babies. I know how special a picture of your beloved pet means to owners when they are away!

About: I have experience working at a vet clinic so I have experience with all sizes and temperaments when it comes to pets! I am a college student and would love to help you feel happy and comfortable when I help care for your pets! I am currently working part time in the mornings and a college student. I would be able to make drop in visits in the mornings, around lunchtime and any time in the afternoon and evenings. As well as most weekends being free. I have access to large walking areas. I live in an apartment but would cuddle up with or crate if they were staying with me for the night depending on what you prefer for them.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I'm a lifelong animal lover, experienced dog owner, horseback rider, and proud cat aunt! Growing up around animals has given me a genuine appreciation for their different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I'm comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels, from playful puppies who need plenty of attention and activity to older pets who benefit from a little extra patience and a gentler approach. My experience with horses has also taught me the importance of consistency, attentiveness, and understanding animal behavior. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether that means going on walks, playing, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing companionship, or simply giving them extra cuddles, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for pet care. I do have evening dance commitments a few nights a week, but otherwise my availability is open. I'm happy to accommodate different schedules and can be flexible with visits, walks, and overnight stays. I look forward to making pet care a priority in my daily routine! My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I take the time to learn each pet's individual routine, personality, and needs, and I follow their owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily care. I am respectful of clients' homes and make sure to keep everything clean, secure, and just as I found it. I also believe communication is important, so I love sending updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away. Above all, I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have always been passionate about caring for animals. Throughout high school, I regularly dog sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family during weekends and vacations. I have experience caring for animals of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m dependable, patient, attentive to routines, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work full time during the day, but I dedicate my mornings, evenings, and weekends to pet care. I’m reliable, flexible, and always make time to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, playtime, and care they deserve. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. Having grown up with dogs my whole life and with years of pet sitting experience, I’m comfortable caring of animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs while creating a calm, trustworthy environment.

About: I have grown up with Dogs and Cats my whole life. I have also pet/house sat for family and friends through middle school, high school and now college. I have/had many dogs and cats who have been/are massive parts of our family. 4 German Shepherds, Apache, Zoom, Ranger and Camo. 1 Husky Cherokee and 2 Australian Shepherds Banjo and Max. I have taken pride in self training my dogs to be good K-9 citizens. Ex: “Sit”, “Waite”, “Down”, “Leave it” and not jumping. Some of my favorite activities with dogs are walking/running, brushing/baths, playing with toys/wrestling, snuggles, driving around and a snack never hurt anyone! :) As for cats I’ve had/have 4 (Dizzy, Yoyo, Bast and now Tiffany!) My favorite activities with kitties are playing with the string toy, brushing, giving treats and snuggling while reading/watching Tv/doing Homework. Of course I love watching them get the zooms! :) I am a full time college student with MIZZOU Army ROTC. During the summers I’m available most days/nights and weekends. As for the school year I’m pretty open as well. We will have to communicate and see what works best for everyone at that time. I was raised to hold myself to high standards and values some of these values are summed up best by the Army values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. I believe you need all of these to not only be the best version of yourself but pull the best out of others, person or paw. I care for my pets by making them an important part of my life! I love to be active and take my dog on runs/walks and play. As for my cat when I’m doing Homework or relaxing after a long day she likes to snuggle me or play with her toys. My pets are my family, team and life. I keep them safe by keeping them in active parts of my life, researching the food they eat and have a great relationship with there vet!

“Rylie was amazing! She had excellent communication and kept us updated throughout our vacation with messages and photos of our pets. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She took them on walks, gave them plenty of love and attention, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her!”

About: During my time in a Service Fraternity at my university, I volunteered at Animal Care and Control of St. Louis on a weekly basis. The time I spent working here allowed me to gain crucial skills needed for understanding and working with animals. I have also spent time watching cats and dogs for friends while they off on vacation! I start medical school in August, but will have time to watch animals between study sessions and class. Currently, I am working part time as a science teacher at the middle school for summer school and am off at 1:30 pm, Monday through Thursday. Additionally, I have all of July off. I will not be providing boarding services. This is due to physical restrictions that will be imposed on the animal. I would prefer to house sit in a place where the animal is comfortable and less likely to be anxious.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal since I was 10 years old. My neighbors, friends family all rely on me to feed and care for their animals I currently work 3 PM to 11 PM and then every other weekend sometimes I do have to work overnight at my job which is 11 PM to 7 AM. But I definitely make sure I have time to do my animal sitting on the side. I care for my pets and a client’s home very well. I love when they have written out instructions and allow me to come over a couple days prior to know their animals routine.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hartsburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 397 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hartsburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hartsburg. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
