“Thank you for taking care of our little Jing Li. This is the first time we have EVER had a stranger take care of her and I must admit, I was very nervous. The fact that you sent daily photos of her put my mind at ease. Thanks again. We look forward to a couple more bookings this Summer.”

About: i’ve been taking care of friends, family, and neighbors fur babies for the past nine years of my life, and I absolutely love every single one of them. I love all of them all sizes and breeds it does not matter to me. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for five years. I also have previous training experience working with young puppies so i’m able to work with them as well. :) I’m working currently part-time and only have classes a couple days a week for an hour. I’m very flexible and available on an as needed basis for you and your fur babies! Safety is my number one priority. I will never put your fur babies in harms way or put them in uncomfortable situations. I treat each pup as if they were my own. I’m very big on schedules/routine. If you have one you’d like to stick to, I will happily oblige.
About: I have always been around animals my whole life and have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, and reptiles. I have accumulated 70 animal volunteer hours. I have helped train my dog and love to taking her for walks. Summer just started so my availability has become very open. I do work a part time job that normally schedules me 4 hours twice a week so nothing too crazy. I do ride my horse often which usually takes about 3 hours with drive time and I normally ride him in the mornings or afternoons. I am completely ok with staying for multiple days or weeks at a time. I can crate your dog if need be and love walks and play time. I am used to giving my dog medication and have gotten very good at hiding the medicine with treats or tricks if your dog does not like taking medicine. My parents always taught me leave the place better than you found it so I carry that with me when I sit animals. Midnight potty runs do not affect me and am happy to accommodate to your dog or cats needs. I am completely ok with cleaning liter boxes or pee pads. Not much phases me as I have been around and owned animals my whole life
About: PET SITTING — In Your Home • Dog sitting • Cat sitting ABOUT ME Hi! I’m Jessica - a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to feel confident when someone else is caring for your pets. My promise is simple: I’ll treat your animals with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work full‑time Monday–Thursday, but I’m available for morning and evening visits on those days. Weekends are fully open, and I’m happy to customize a schedule that works best for you and your pets. SERVICE AREA Pevely Festus Herculaneum Crystal City (Additional fee applies for locations more than 25 minutes from my home.) CONTACT I work full‑time Monday–Thursday, but I’m available for morning and evening visits on those days. Weekends are fully open, and I’m happy to customize a schedule that works best for you and your pets. In my home we have back yard and lots of down time to cuddle and love on both my dog and cats. I would love on your animals just like my own.
About: I am a dog mom and also have had chickens,turkeys, a ferret and bunnies. I was a zookeeper for almost 10 years. I recently graduated with my PhD in biology and my focus is on river ecology. I love animals and would love spending time with your fur baby! My schedule is flexible during the summer/currently. I have the ability to fit plenty of walks and play time in with your pet and I look forward to it! Depending on your pups ability I will take them for as long or short of walks as needed. If there are parks nearby I would love to venture to those.
About: I'm a big fan of caring for animals, and I have lots of energy to provide your pet with all the attention they deserve. If your dog wants to walk, we'll get in a good walk, but if your dog wants to run, I'm also able to put in the miles so we both get some exercise. I don't have experience with training puppies, but I am happy to support any on-going training by following through with established protocols (specific feeding times or amounts, specific walk times, etc.). I have a flexible job that allows me to build my own schedule from week to week, so I have lots of time to care for pet needs. All pets will have their basic needs met plus more! I will attend to whatever is needed with love and care - feeding, walking, playing, snuggling, and cleaning up all the messes that can come with animals too.
“Alex has gone way over and above in the care of my best friend! I have used home several times and am continually blessed by his professionalism and attention to detail. I will continue to call on Alex to visit Buddy!”

About: Hello! My name is Katie and I love animals of all sizes! I have grown up around dogs my entire life so I know how important human interaction is for them throughout the day. I currently own an amazing 10 year old yellow lab mix named Sophie. She is my world! I have had her since she was 6 months old. This means that I fully understand the level of trust it takes to have a complete stranger take care of your precious baby. I will do my very best to protect your dog while also making sure they have a good time exploring the world around them on our daily walks. Every dog deserves love and attention throughout the day and I will do my best to provide it! I work in the leasing office of an apartment complex out in Fenton. My schedule is Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. My weekends are typically free! Whenever I leave your house/apartment, I can crate your dog to ensure that they don’t hurt themselves or get into anything while I’m away. If they don’t need to be put into a crate, I’ll make sure that I pick up and put away things that could potentially be harmful to them!
About: Hi! My name is Elyse. I am a graduate of the University of Missouri - Columbia and currently work for a healthcare company in the St. Louis area, but also love taking care of cats and dogs! I am so excited about the opportunity to take care of your pets! I have had pets all of my life - dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, frogs, you name it! I have 13 years of experience caring for all pets, even those with special needs. My goal is to not only take care of your animals and make sure they are happy and healthy, but to make sure you have ease of mind while you are away. I will take them on walks, administer any kind of medication if needed, play with them, send you check-in texts and photos, and comply with any other requests you may have! I strive to find ways to connect with your pet, whether they are low or high energy. All it takes is patience and maybe a treat :) Even though I work a full-time job, I will do everything in my power to be flexible for you and your pet. If you require specific times for care, we can make it work! I care for pets in clients' homes by making sure they are greeted/acknowledged. Sometimes it takes a while for them to calm down. :) Checking on food and water is my next task. I will let your pet outside/on the leash, walk them and play with them. Depending on the service, I will stay however long you would like me to for house sitting and drop-ins. I will ensure all doors are locked, the space is tidied up, and follow any other directions you may have while house sitting.

About: I have had pets all my life, and I have pet sat for various friends, family members and neighbors over the years. I love animals, get along great with all animals. This is my second job. Its a part time gig to make extra money but still be doing something I love. On my day off amd my weekends, I pet sit and do dog walking. I have a large, fenced in backyard. Plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. A park is 5 minutes from my house, with a dog run
About: I’ll start with my experience, I have worked at a veterinary hospital, groomers, and doggy daycare! Currently working at a pet urgent care too so my hours may not work with you pets schedules. I know how to do basic first aid, any grooming, care for all types of animals, and I can notice different types of behavior changes. I will treat your lovely babies like they are my own. I currently own 4 dogs, all different ages and size. They are my babies for sure. I love to take them outside and get them running around and having fun when weather is nice. I can do walks for dogs. Can even go for hikes if you approve of it. I’m willing to work with anyone and there schedules as much as I can. I do like to offer grooming of any sort while they are in my care! If there are any other questions don’t be afraid to ask. I currently work full time at a pet urgent care. My hours are weird and as of right now my only off days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. My shifts are usually 8 hours but it can be longer as we don’t control emergencies. I will always care for your fur and not so furry babies as if they were my own! So I apologize if you return home and they are a little more spoiled than before! I always send pictures because who doesn’t want pictures of there happy babies while away! Will follow schedules and directions that you give to me to keep them in their daily routine to the best of my ability and schedule!
About: I've grown up with many different types of dogs. I learned at a young age the importance of walks, exercise, how to love and care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog-sat for multiple families in the past, sometimes up to a week, and end up creating life-long bonds with each 4-legged friend! I currently work remotely, making my own schedule apart from an in-person part-time job that is about 14 hours a week. My availability: Mondays all day, Tuesdays after 5, Wednesdays after 1, Thursdays after 5, Fridays after 1, Saturdays all day, Sundays between 12 and 4. (Starting in June I will be available pretty much all day everyday!) I have two cats and rent, so care would need to be at your home, which I am comfortable with. I am trustworthy and dependable and will have eyes on your furry friend at all times!
About: I have had all kinds of animals and have been around even more. Your pet is your family and I will treat them as it. I’m a stay at home mom and available more frequently now. Weekends are flexible but I have marked them as off, but there is a potential we can arrange a weekend visit. I make sure the pet(s) have attention, playtime, frequent potty breaks, and food/water depending on how they are. (If a dog needs scheduled feedings or if they can handle a full bowl all the time). You’ll get solid proof of poop/pee breaks when “walking”. You’ll get a gallery of photos at the end of “house sitting” stay of your lovely pups!
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”

About: I have experience in walking dogs, and house sitting. I have stayed with cats as well. I used to be a doggy daycare attendant! My responsibilities included: feeding animals on a regular schedule, walking them on a schedule, giving them medication, and giving them play time and attention. As an animal lover I know that pets need more than just food and water. They need love and affection too! Count on me to give it my all to your pets. :) I am currently employed part time, and am looking to make extra cash and to connect with pets since I don’t have any of my own. (Yet!) I would have to have an early heads up of when you’d need me, because I get my work schedule weekly. I apologize, but I am unable to provide at home services. I will do all that is necessary to love and take care of your pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Imperial
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.

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 Imperial 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 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 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 Imperial with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Imperial. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
