“Very communicative! Let me know when there was a problem with one of my girls! Sent cute pictures daily. I felt very comfortable leaving for a long holiday weekend with Mary taking care of my babies!”
“Laura was great! She took great care of my dog and 4 cats. Laura was responsive and polite and seems to really love animals. She did everything I asked and sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“This was our very first time using Rover, and as extremely overprotective dog parents, we were definitely nervous. But Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He eased our minds with daily updates, complete with photos and videos that showed just how well our dog was doing! We also had a Fi tracker on his collar and it was so reassuring to see how many walks and steps he was getting. Brad took him out so often, even more than our normal routine! Our dog occasionally gets so excited that he’ll throw up if he hasn’t eaten in a while, and when it happened, Brad immediately texted us, cleaned it up, and made sure he ate and drank after. His communication was quick, calm, and thoughtful, which helped us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was incredibly well cared for — he got plenty of walks, playtime with his toys, and lots of attention. Honestly, he looked sad when Brad left! Brad also left our home neat and spotless, which we really appreciated. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Brad. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our fur baby, and we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone. We hope to book with him again!”
“Alex is the best sitter we have ever used. He stayed with our girls(Border collies 8 and 3) and took the best care of our dogs! He sent updates everyday. Thank you Rover and thank you Alex!”
“Evelyn did an amazing job! We had a boil water order while away due to a water main break. She handled the situation flawlessly. Thank you so much for caring for Ruby and Sissy under less than perfect circumstances.”
“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”
“Emily was great. She was able to help me out last minute for the holidays and everything went amazing. She updated me frequently with photos. Came home to happy pups! I would and will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Our animals loved having Frances stay with them for 2 weeks while we were out of town. This was our 1st time having someone come into our home to stay with our animals so we were a bit nervous, she came and did a meet and greet with us and gave us frequent updates with pictures while we were gone, that really helped us feel at ease. We would recommend Frances to anyone with fur babies and we plan on her coming again to stay with our animals!”
About: Hey, I’m Elizabeth! I grew up with dogs and now have my own playful pup, Lorax (2 years, 6 months). From time to time, I also foster through Stray Rescue STL, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different needs, personalities, and ages. I provide a safe, caring environment where every dog feels comfortable—whether that means long walks, active playtime, or simply lots of love and attention. Your pup will be treated like family while in my care. I take dog-sitting very seriously. When I am dog-sitting, I prioritize it and my schedule revolves around taking care of them as best as I can. While under my care I stay with them at all times when going outside and on schedule with their food and if they take medication.
“We are so thankful for Shel. Our girl Pickles is very timid and anxious with meeting new people and Shel handled her with patience and unbelievable care. She was kind and did extra meet and greets prior to our trip to make sure Pickles was comfortable with her. While we were gone we received many updates and she continued our training program. Our home and pets were well cared for and everyone would be so lucky to have Shel watch their fur children.”
“Megan took great care of our fur babies while we were on vacation! Sent pictures and left our home just as we left it :) also very quick to respond! Would recommend Megan to others!!”
“Vada was absolutely amazing with our two pups, one of which is a pretty anxious and energetic little guy. She sent pictures every day, played fetch, even brought our mail and left our house looking the exact same as when we left. So sweet and so good to our babies!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lemay is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lemay
Super happy to have Katie stay with our pups again! They were extremely well taken care of and so was our home. Our shy old lady warmed up to Katie more during this visit and we love that so much ❤️ And our goofy lab mix had the time of his life. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip out of town!
Alex is an excellent sitter. He communicated with us daily with photos and updates. We seemed to have a good rapport with him and felt very comfortable leaving Riley and our house under his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best!
Kellie really went above and beyond when watching my two dogs over a long weekend. She stayed at my house and honestly left it cleaner than when she arrived and I could tell the dogs were happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would definitely use her again in a heartbeat!
We had a wonderful experience with her watching our dogs! She took great care of all of them during our trip and kept everything in great shape while we were away. She was thoughtful, communicative, and went above and beyond by keeping the house tidy, taking care of the dishes, and letting us know about anything important. We really appreciated the updates and how much care and attention she gave our pups. We felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. We will definitely love to book with her again! ❤️
Bridget was wonderful with our dog who is not the easiest fella. He is rambunctious and she handled him well. Kept us updated with just the right amount of pictures, took him for walks several times daily. She left the house sooo clean and communicated clearly throughout the week. Definitely plan to call her again.
As usual, this crew is amazing! They always take great care of our kitties, especially our elder cat who needs subq fluids and medication. Our flight was cancelled coming home, and Sharon spent a second night with the clowder with no notice. We knew they were in good hands! Thank you!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lemay is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $66 per night.

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 Lemay 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 Lemay 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 Lemay 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.
