“Nina took great care of my 3 fur babies in our home for a few days. She sent photos and kept us posted on how they were doing, medications, etc. Really appreciate her attentiveness and communication.”
About: I take time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and specific needs. Whether that means structured playtime for high-energy pups or quiet companionship for seniors, I adapt to them. I prioritize safety, communication, and providing updates so you always feel confident your dog is in loving, capable hands I work full-time, but I maintain a consistent daily routine that allows me to provide dependable pet care. I’m available for morning and evening walks, feedings, and quality time, and I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and affection before and after work. On weekends, I have more flexibility for extended walks, playtime, and extra care When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your space and your pet’s established routine. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routes, medication needs, and house rules. I keep doors secured, monitor surroundings on walks, and ensure pets are always safely leashed or supervised. My goal is to maintain a calm, familiar environment so your pet experiences minimal disruption while you’re gone
About: Hi friends! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently share my home with four dogs, a cat, and some very spoiled chickens. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and it never feels like “work.” I know how busy life gets, and how important it is to travel or take a break without stressing about your pets. With experience in both home care and kennel settings, I’ve seen how much happier and calmer animals are when they can stay in their own environment. My goal is simple, make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re home again. I run my own cleaning business and homeschool my kids, which we’ve been doing for about a year and a half now. I love being my own boss and having a schedule that works for our family. With so many parents heading back to work these days, I wanted to do something that helps both people and their pets. I’ve always loved animals, so this felt like the perfect fit. Plus, it’s a great way to show my kids how even simple services can make a big difference for someone. I care for every pet just like I do my own — with calm energy, love, and lots of attention. Animals deserve the very best, and I truly enjoy giving them that. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are being cared for with kindness and respect while you’re away.
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 3 fur babies while we were gone. She kept in contact with us everyday when she was leaving and returning as well as some adorable pictures of them all snuggling together while watching a movie. Lindsey left everything the way she found it and took great care of everything in our home as well. The pups were very happy when we returned home and were not stressed out at all. We will definitely use Lindsey again and highly recommend her.❤️”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received while I was away! Jamie went above and beyond to ensure my dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. Sparky is an elderly guy, but Jamie kept him in his routine, which helped so much. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and treating my dogs like your own!”
About: My current job involves taking care of all types of animals, and I have had many types of pets my whole life. Reptiles, furry friends, small animals, birds, fish, etc. I know basic(and in most cases, more than that) care for majority of pets. Im comfortable with all kinds, furry, or scaly! I have a full time job, and schedule changes every week. Im often working evenings, so mornings are most open for me. Although I am flexible, and able, to move my schedule around. I have reliable transportation, and i'm comfortable coming to your home to care for your pet. I am okay walking, feeding, checking in on, etc., any pets you may have. I love all animals!
About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.
About: I've cared for pets since age 10! I've always had deep love for animals. I love to play with them or just cuddle, whatever they want. I can care for pets of any age! I don't mind cleaning up accidents or caring for animals with special needs. I currently work part time as a nanny so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. My availability is open most of the time. I take pet safety very seriously! When on a walk your pet will always be on a leash to prevent them running away or any other unsafe behavior. I always adhere to the wishes of the pet parent and strive to care for pets as if they were my own, providing all the love and care they could ask for. I can give medications or whatever is necessary to care for your pet.
“Morgan was great! She sent text and pictures through the weekend, kept me very updated. My dogs looked happy when we arrived home and my house was still standing and not a mess. great girl!! will use again.She was wonderful”
About: I’m an RVT that is wanting to help look after your little kiddos! I’ve been in the vet field for almost 9 years, I’m good with all types of pets, especially dogs and cats I’m currently switching to a new job so I have plenty of availability at the moment. I can stay overnights if needed or just stop by during the day. I’m able to walk your dogs and play with cats. Im very capable of giving medications if needed or just hanging out with your little kiddos
About: Honestly I love taking care of animals. I have a few of my own. Salem (cat) and Oscar (pup) Salem is very laid back and so friendly it’s insane. And Oscar being a puppy loves being around anyone and any pet. I currently work full time M-F but please know I will always make time for your fur babies. I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and I’m always available on weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard unfortunately but I do have a big grass area behind my house. We have a dog park we can go to nearby if permitted by owner
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Melanie was so great with our dogs. We typically only leave the dogs with family, but stepped out of our comfort zone by hiring Melanie and she was phenomenal! She sent several photos and sent us texts about the characteristics of our dogs personalities that one would only know if they were really playing and getting to know each dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs for friends and family. While my background is stronger with cats, I’m comfortable handling the day-to-day needs of dogs as well, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make it a priority to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, dietary restrictions, routines, or other special care needs. Because I work remotely, I’m also able to spend much more time at home with pets than many sitters can, which means more company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I currently work remotely on a typical Monday–Friday daytime schedule and am able to work from anywhere within the state, which means I can comfortably set up my work-from-home station while house and pet sitting. This allows me to be much more present and attentive throughout the day compared to sitters who may be away for long periods of time. My work is also fairly flexible, allowing me to adjust meetings and tasks as needed to help accommodate feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and other routine care. Weekends are typically very open for me as well, giving me even more flexibility and availability for your pets’ needs. I currently have two cats of my own: Draco, an 11-year-old part Manx, and Loki, a 6-year-old black American Shorthair. I’ve had both of them since they were kittens, and caring for them has given me years of hands-on experience with maintaining routines, monitoring health, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. Draco previously needed some extra attention with his weight and diet, and through a consistent feeding routine and focused care, he was able to lose over 10 pounds and maintain a much healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced for me how important consistency, patience, and closely following care instructions can be for pets. Loki is a rescue and can be a little shy at first, so I also understand the importance of giving pets time to adjust, respecting their comfort levels, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention they could ever want! I am trustworthy and dependable. I currently work part time as a nanny so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets! I currently work 3 days a week, 7-8 hours a day at my nanny job. I always make sure that pets are in a safe environment. While we're out on a walk they will always be leashed so there's no worry of them running away or anything of that sort. I always respect the wishes of the owner and take the safety of animals very seriously.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including regularly dog sitting for a couple from my church who had two dogs. They trusted me many times to feed, walk, play with, and check in on both dogs while they were away. I followed detailed care instructions, kept them on their normal routines, and made sure they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Managing two dogs at once helped me build patience, attentiveness, and confidence. In addition, I spent most of a summer independently caring for and training my own dog as a puppy. I worked on potty training, leash walking, and basic commands using consistency and positive reinforcement. That experience taught me responsibility, structure, and how important routine is for young dogs. I am dependable, observant, and genuinely love being around animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I am currently looking for a summer position starting in May, which means I will have a very flexible and open schedule. I will be available most weekdays and weekends and can provide consistent care, walks, check-ins, or extended stays as needed. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I am dependable, punctual, and able to adjust my availability based on your pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and household rules. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and monitor pets closely during walks and outdoor time. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and attention. I am attentive to body language and behavior to make sure pets feel safe and supported. My goal is to build trust not only with pets but with owners, so they feel confident their dog is in responsible and caring hands.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied upon me to watch their dogs on many occasions. I work during the day, and able to watch dogs 3pm and after every day during the week and available during the weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard so we can play and hangout inside the house or outside with comfort. Always a good time with me

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Horine
Nina was great! The first two days of our trips there was a storm and she kept an eye on my basement to prevent flooding while caring for the dogs. It was a short notice request, but she made time to come over for the meet and greet and was great with the dogs.
Used Cole to pet sit in my home for 6 nights while our family was on vacation, and he did amazing! He sent photos daily of our pup. He was very responsive when communicating. Cole was very attentive to our training requests. Oakley and I would definitely book him again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Horine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,316 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Horine. 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 Horine 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 Horine 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 Horine 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Horine. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
