About: Ive been an animal lover since birth. At any function my friends know I'll be snuggled up with the pets. I worked at a boarding place with all different types of dogs and cats, with all different type of needs. Im very excited to love your babies like my own! I’m always happy to send updates and photos of your fur babies while I care for them. My schedule is currently open every day except Tuesday nights!

About: I have been taking care of and training dogs my whole life. Over 30 years. I am known for having the best dogs on the block. My military friends have depended on me to watch their babies thru deployments of six months and longer in my home. I work full time, but I have a set schedule. This makes planning much easier. There is a moderate amount of flexibility to it. It makes it easy to take care of the sweetest member of the family. I live in an apartment but my complex has a fenced dog park at the building. Also there are parks around that are great for walking. I work full time, Monday through Friday. I work 7:30a-4:30p. However, I do work 10 minutes from home and my boyfriend is usually home around 3:00p. He helps me when I need it. I follow the routines of the pets at home. I walk dogs 3 times a day in the park next to my home. I do have crates of varying sizes to use if the dog is used to that at home.
About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I have been house/pet sitting for the last few years on my own but I'm trying to expand my client base and meet new furry friends! I also have lots of experience with cats! A large portion of my clients prefer overnight stays but I am willing to do drop ins as well. I'd love to hear from you soon. I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!
About: I have been working in the animal field for 16 years. I also have experience administering medications of all types. I do try to keep to the animal's schedule as best as possible. I'm currently between jobs so I am able to keep your animals active. Once I'm employed again, I'll be able to fit your animal's needs before and after working hours. I prefer keeping your animals in their own home as it is less stressful for them. I keep as close to their schedule as I can on a daily basis.
“Diane is wonderful! We booked her for multiple drop-ins for our two pups and she was extremely communicative and professional. She sent great pictures from her visits and it was reassuring to see our pups getting so much love and attention! Absolutely would rebook with her again in future. Thank you, Diane!”
“Morgan took wonderful care of our pugs while we were away. She followed all of our instructions, was a great communicator and we loved all of the pictures and updates. We highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for since 2017, and using Rover since 2022, and I absolutely love taking care of animals! From playful pups to independent kitties, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets of all kinds. As a lifelong animal lover and a pet-mom, I know how important it is to provide pets with the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I am a full time biology student at UMSL. As long as it fits to my school schedule, I am flexible for your pet(s)' needs! I take care of your pets in their own home because I have 2 kitties, I am not able to offer in my home right now. I follow your pet(s)' routine to ensure they feel familiar and at ease in their space.
“Keena has been fantastic with watching my two dogs! She has been able to care for them last minute and consistently provides updates, asks questions about food, routine, etc., and has been quick to let me know if any issues come up. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent and attentive dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a dog or cat in my home! I have a Boxer who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention pets need at every stage of life. As he’s gotten older, he’s settled into his own routines, but he’s still just as loving and energetic as ever! He also experiences anxiety, which has taught me how to recognize signs of stress, provide comfort, and administer medication when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I’m a full-time college student, but my class schedule is flexible, with some later classes and earlier days. I’m happy to work my schedule around your pet’s needs and am willing to commute to campus in the mornings so I can provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I’m committed to following your instructions and caring for your pets just like I would my own pup! I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, so I’ll do my best to keep their routines consistent while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding time, walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands! 🤍
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets. My family currently has 2 German Shorthair Pointers and two tabby cats, but we’ve also had smaller dogs and ferrets over the years. In college I served as a Board member for a local no-kill animal shelter in Kirksville, MO where I helped make decisions for the good of our rescues and local strays. I also helped care for our rescues through feeding, walking, monitoring health needs, and transporting to the vet. Since college, I’ve been pet sitting for family friends in the Webster, Glendale, and Collinsville, IL areas. I’m hoping to branch out and help more families with their pets! I have experience with dogs up to 80 lbs, cats of all ages including very young kittens and elderly, and even pets who need quite of bit of medication. Occasionally once a week I’ll potentially work an 8-9 hour, but typically the days I work are around 5 hour shifts. When petsitting I generally hang out with the pets during my free time! I do my best to follow all directions given to me by the pet’s family. Many families have me come by before their trip to show me the pet’s routine, and they leave me a sheet of directions in case I want to reference it. I’ve helped with dogs who have very strict routines, such as specific feed times, walks 3x a day, etc. I want to keep the pets on their routine and in their own homes, so I usually stay at the family’s house with the pets while they’re gone.
About: I have always had a dog and been the main caretaker. I love spending quality time with pets. I love to go on walks and take them to dog parks. I work full time but have ability to work remotely when needed. I am able to make lunch visits when needed or work from home. I have a fenced in backyard should your pet need to stay overnight. I would take dogs on walks in safe environments. Safety is very important.
“Natalie was a life savor helping us in a last minute dog watching need! Our dog became sick just before a trip (unable to go to the boarders) and Natalie was able to help us with less than 24 hours notice! She took wonderful care of our dog and was great at giving updates!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8, and I’ve always loved being around animals! I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m currently between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your furry friends the love, attention, and care they deserve! I can be flexible with walks, visits, and playtime to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’ll stick to their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks, while giving them plenty of attention and affection.

Absolute professionalism and top-notch care for our pets from Eric and Morgan! This lovely couple boarded our dog Rosie and made home visits to care for our cat and guinea pigs during our spring break vacation. They were very responsive to our messages and took care to learn all the instructions for feeding and care of our animals. We received photos and updates throughout the week. Morgan even watered my plant babies! We highly recommend Eric and Morgan and will definitely book them again.

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.

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 Imperial 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. 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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
