About: Hi! My name is Angela and I have had cats and dogs my entire life. I adore them all! I have taken care of my family and neighbor's pets over the years and I would like to use my experience to help you when you are in need. I am a certified fitness instructor and personal trainer in the morning but I am available to take care of your fur babies between 11am-7pm. In the later evenings, I will be with my family and pets. If you need someone dependable during the week, I’m your person. I’d love to meet your pet and learn their routine. Hi! I work part-time as a fitness instructor and personal trainer so I have time in my shedule to take care of your pets midday. I have a fenced in yard for my 11 year old dog and a 6 year old cat. My dog likes short walks and my kitty likes cuddles. They are part of our family!
About: I have loved and cared for pets all of my life! Throughout high school, I volunteered several hours at a local animal shelter until I was old enough to work for them. After several years and life changes, I am currently a dog bather at a local salon. In addition to sitting, check-ins, and walks, I offer basic grooming services (nail trim/grinds, ear cleaning, and brushing. Bath/Dry services TBA) I work part time Wednesday through Sunday midday. I will be available for services those same days. I am NOT available Sunday evenings through Tuesday evenings. I cannot accommodate pets in my home as I have pets of my own. I am flexible and able to accommodate most needs in a client’s home.
“Samantha was awesome!! She came to meet us and our boys before the actual dates. I felt like I had known her forever and that made me feel so much better about her checking in on our babies. We will definitely be reaching out again for the next time. Thanks so much!!!”
About: Have 3 pups myself. Can’t get enough of them. They are and always will be a part of our family, and I’ll treat yours the same! I work part time at the moment and would love to use my free time meeting some dogs and helping you all out in the process! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for the dogs to gallop around and do whatever it is they want to do.
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us and how difficult it can be to leave them in someone else's care. I am currently a full-time therapist and am looking for fill my weekends with furry friends. I am available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to care for your babies. I am very flexible and would love to know everything about your baby/babies beforehand. A meet and greet is the only way to go :)
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!
“Katie did a wonderful job with my babies, she stayed overnight and my anxious hound dog wasn't anxious with her there in the house. She kept in touch which was appreciated since I haven't left my dogs at home before. I'll definitely book with Katie again!”
“Amy was a life saver! This was our first time using the rover app and she made sure our Dog was very well taken care. She made sure to send us alot of pictures and kept us updated on the daily. Little does she know made my trip stress free knowing our dog was in good hands. I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.
“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: Full time job with ability to help do check-ins and help outside work hours. I can come before/after work or help on weekend as able. I’m working full time so this is on the side as I have the ability on a part time basis. I am excited to help out and get started. I can care for your animal at your home, and am happy to do anything for your pet that would make them more comfortable during your time away
“She was so kind and thoughtful when caring for our pets! We got plenty of update photos and she reached out of there was even the slightest concern. It was so comforting to know our fur babies were so well loved and cared for while we were away!”
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.
About: I have always had dogs since I was a baby. I currently have 2 of my own, a 9 year old beagle and a 3 year old doberman who I rescued. I trained my beagle by myself and am doing the same with my doberman. I have worked among amazing dog trainers, pet care workers, and I am shift lead at a boarding facility. I take care of all types and personalities of dogs and cats, from timid and aggressive to in your pocket and loving. I am very comfortable with both. In my free time I am learning grooming, animal health, and animal behavior. I also spend a lot of time outside with my dogs or horses. I currently work at a dog hygienist facility 8-3. Off Wednesday and Sundays, this is when I do all my grooming for my dogs as well as any dogs in my care. During my break at work I may be able to stop by (distance permitting) and also let your pet out. Boarding- I have a fenced in yard where potty breaks are whenever needed when I am home. When not home dogs will be kenneled (if you want) and/or put up in my dog room where camera access is available. When working I am able to let them out during my work break around 12pm. I feed my 2 dogs twice a day (AM & PM) House sitting- Your home my environment flexes towards your pet and what it is comfortable with! I do normally work 8-3 M, T, TH, F, and Saturdays but depending on distance I might be able to let your pets out or care for them during my lunch break on those days.
About: Hello! I have previously built a small dog sitting clientele in the city of Columbia between the years of 2017-2019. In 2019 I moved to STL and worked through Rover for about two more years until I got a full time job. Currently dipping my toes back into pet care! Although I am in St. Louis I am willing to travel to areas including, but not limited to; St. Charles, Wentzville, O'Fallon, etc. My set days off are Sunday and Monday. I do still currently have a fulltime job, so for the time being I will only be able to do drop in visits and walks. I am comfortable working with either dogs or cats. I have a 4 year old orange cat that I rescued at just 2 weeks old, so I have experience working with very small kittens as well. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I work about 30 hours a week, but will not let this effect how I care for your pet! My days off are always Sunday and Monday, and I am available at anytime either of those days, as well as most evenings and certain mornings. I unfortunately cannot offer services in my own home, but I am more than willing to provide pet watching in the clients home. I am able to do drop in visits, feedings, hair brushes, playtime, walks or whatever your pet needs while you're at work or just out for the day.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
