“Latasha was wonderful with our pets, Pepper and Lily, during the 5 days she cared for them. She provided regular updates and kept us informed about how they were doing, including their food intake, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was very attentive to both of their individual needs. Lily is an indoor/outdoor cat who likes to spend time outside during the day, and Latasha was very accommodating to her routine while making sure Lily was safely inside by nighttime. She also took great care of Pepper and made sure both of our pets were comfortable and well cared for. We also really appreciated how thoughtful she was with our home. She kept everything clean and tidy, brought in our mail, and even left a few little goodies for us when we returned, which was such a sweet surprise! Latasha was caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly went above and beyond. We felt very comfortable knowing Pepper and Lily were in her care, and we would absolutely have her sit for them again. Highly recommend Latasha!”
“Claire was wonderful with Macy! We loved the connection they made, and Claire’s maturity and thoughtfulness gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She paid attention to Macy’s routine, kept us updated, and went above and beyond by tidying up, washing the towels she used, and bringing in our mail and packages. It was clear she cared about Macy and our home. We would absolutely trust her to stay with Macy again and highly recommend her!”
“Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet girl Roxie. She kept us informed of how Roxie was doing, when she would eat as well as send us cute pictures of how happy she was playing with her toys. It was so nice to get her messages and relieved some stress we had when leaving Roxie… especially with her arthritis. This was our first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience with Molly. We will plan to ask her to stay again on our next out of town trip!”
“Words cannot explain how at peace we were with Gabriella being at our house for 2 weeks and taking care of our fur babies! The boys were well loved and taken care of, the house was spotless and the communication was top notch! Don't hesitate for a single second, she is the best one out there!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Madyson has a great way with pets. Shelby didn’t bark and readily went up to her at their first meeting, and our cat Arya came up to cuddle on her first night, which she never does with people she just meets. Madyson was with our pets for a week and gave us regular updates with pictures. They had a great time with her!, and we will definitely use her again. We highly recommend Madyson as a pet sitter.”
“I feel fortunate to have found Anya on Rover to dog sit my beloved beagle for a week while I was on vacation. She did a great job, and I appreciated her sending me updates during the week on how my dog was doing. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend Anya!”
About: Nearly three decades experience Wide open availability Have worked with every breed/personality imaginable. Can adapt to any pets needs great or small. Have worked with all ages and medical needs. Medication, food sensitivities, and personal preferences are very important and will be treated with equal priority. I have a very open availability and no spouse or children. I prioritize the pets I'm caring for over other obligations and will be open about any scheduling conflicts. (but that's unlikely to happen) My service involves precise and personalized care depending on the pet's needs and personality. No two pets are the same and each needs to be understood according to their lifestyle.
“Natalie was great! The dogs loved her and I didn’t feel like I needed to worry about them at all. She checked in often, was on top of the scheduling, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Would definitely work with her again!”
“We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!”
“We really like Halle! She is professional and a sweet and thoughtful person! Halle is honest and trustworthy She notified us when an issue came up and she handled it promptly. She found a hot spot on our dog that we were not aware of and was able to treat it while we were gone. She went the extra mile to spend time with our dog, who has separation anxiety, to feel comfortable with her! We highly recommend Halle!”
“Lesley was a life saver! We have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 mini donkeys, and a horse and she cared for all of them while we were gone. She even sent pictures of our babies which I love receiving while away from them. She gave them lots of cuddles and love; even if the cat may have forced her to cuddle more than anticipated 😅 we will definitely be reaching out to Lesley again whenever we need someone we can trust to watch our four legged babies!”
“Courtney is a wonderful dog and house sitter. I knew as soon as she met our senior dog Chase that she was a good fit for him. Courtney is very gentle and mindful of Chase’s limitations at 18. Calm and gentle is what Chase needs, and Courtney is a great fit for him. She did a great job of giving him his medication and feeding him what he would eat. Chase is a very finicky eater, and we were not surprised when she messaged us that he had not eaten much in the morning. We very much appreciated Courtney’s detailed information about his food and medication intake while we were gone. We would definitely have Courtney watch our home and Chase again.”
“Erin took really great care of our dog while we were on a long trip. She stayed with Ruby most of the time, played with her, took her on walks, and gave her treats! She also kept us informed with pictures and messages daily. When Ruby started getting into our shoes, she sent us photos of what was damaged and moved them somewhere Ruby couldn’t get to them. Having her watch Ruby took a huge weight off our shoulders being away from her. Highly recommend!”
“Amy was able to step in super last minute when our previous sitter had to leave for an emergency. She was amazing! Super communicative and did such a great job caring for our dog. Would absolutely book her every time.”

Izzy is a delightful, caring and conscientious young lady. She spent real time with me during our meet and greet & my dog took to her as if she was her owner. KC is a very timid and fearful baby but warmed up to Izzy like I have never seen. Trustworthy, timely and left my home cleaner than when I left. I would choose her over and over and over again! 💕
Emily was so flexible with us. When our first trip was suddenly canceled, she agreed to come fewer days so we could go somewhere closer. She was great with the two animals a cat and a dog. Both seniors. she sent pictures & the house was impeccable when we returned thank you, Emily. Hoping you’ll stay again if needed.
Michael is a great guy and animal lover. I am so grateful, he did an great job looking after my 2 dogs and 4 cats house sitting while I was away on a business trip. He took great care of each of my pets and shared lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Michael showed he is reliable and a genuinely nice person. I will for sure request him again for my next trip, my dogs like him very much which makes my life happier as I travel a lot for business and am new to St Louis. Thanks again, Michael.
Clarisa took great care of my 2 senior dogs and one senior cat for a week while I was away for 5 days. She was very sweet my pets, and they were happy and content when I got home as if I had never been gone. Exactly what you hope for! Clarisa was very communicative with me during the trip and sent daily photos of them which is always comforting. I highly recommend her services for your pets!
As usual Sarah was awesome. I would actually rate her six stars out of five instead of five. I was worried when I left on my 8-day trip because my dog was a little sick and I had to take him to the vet on the Sunday before I left and fortunately the numbers were good enough that the vet felt I could travel and he would be okay. That said Sarah went up to my vet for me and picked up some medication to help him get back on his feet. She was the one making suggestions of what to feed him to get him to eat and I think that's typical of her going above and beyond.
Lucy was great! She communicated well and did a great job with our two little dogs. One of our dogs is very old and wears a diaper at night and Lucy didn't seem to have any problems with her care. All went well and we would certainly recommend her and work with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Huntleigh is $31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $39 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Huntleigh 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 Huntleigh 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Huntleigh 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
