“Lisa is amazing. One of my furbabies hurt himself hiding under the couch during some heavy storms, and Lisa was very proactive in letting us know and worked with us to have a plan in place. She kept a close eye on him the next few days and kept us in the loop. Thank you for showing so much love for my kitties, Lisa!”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life. I have goats, cats, and dogs. I pet sit for my family friends when they need me to. I have walked, fed, bathe, and played with many animals. I am currently not working, so I have a lot of time to tend to your pets needs! Everyday but Monday’s bd Wednesdays work best! I will follow any guidelines for your pets that you give me. I can crate you dog if needed. However, I do have animals at my house
“Erin was very communicative and caring for our dog, Bruce! She came by to meet him beforehand and we know he was well taken care of for these drop-in visits. Would definitely recommend Erin!”
“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”
About: Life is just better with animals and I love having them around! Overall, I have around 15 years of experience caring for pets through helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting, check-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship in general. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is more of a passion and less like work to me. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I also understand the stress of trying to find the perfect sitter when you’re going out of town as I, too, have gone through it many times. That’s another reason why I decided to finally get on Rover, so I could be the dependable and loving pet sitter that folks are looking for. I do have extensive experience with both younger pets and seniors (mostly dogs and cats) and of course have a special soft spot for the older fur babies who require a gentleness that I’m very used to giving. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone reliable nearby, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care you can feel confident about. Our pets have always been treated as part of our family and the second your fur baby is in my care (via a walk, sleepover, or check-in) they will be treated like family too. I work full time but have a wonderfully flexible schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work from home so I get extra time to hang out with fur babies at my house and on the weekends I am also available! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get home from work between 4pm-5pm but can always leave earlier if need be. I love going on walks in the morning and at night (and during lunch time if I’m working from home) so if I had a pup with me and they like walks too, I’d love to add a companion to my walks!! I have a fenced in back yard and 1 indoor male cat named Pancake. My cat is very sweet (and neutered) and gets along great with other animals but we can absolutely separate if that would work best. I have no children so it’s just me, the cat, and my wonderful (animal loving) boyfriend of 9 years! We are about as stable as it gets lol. We have a couple empty bedrooms that your pet could stay in or be crated in if you prefer that they have some privacy and alone time (totally up to you but the option is there if they need quiet time). Overall though our home is pretty quiet and loving. No crazy noise - just two people and a cat who have lots of love to give other animals!
About: Animal Behaviorist | Vet Experience | Gentle, Confident Care for Every Personality 🐾 I bring years of hands-on experience in both veterinary care and animal behavior. I’m confident working with nervous, high-energy, and reactive pets, and I prioritize safety, calm handling, and individualized care so every pet feels secure, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an Operations Manager for mobile vaccine clinics, but I offer consistent availability before work, during lunch breaks, and in the evenings.

“Hayden was a huge help. She went above and beyond for my girl Sadie and made sure she was loved. Sadie seemed so happy when I got back. Hayden was always on time and was in constant communication with me. I will be using her again!!”
About: I started raising dogs at the age of 15, use to be a dog groomer so I know about nervous behavior, I have a dog of my own.

I’m confident handling high-energy pups, gentle with seniors, and patient with shy or stubborn personalities. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or meds, I’ve got it covered.

While I don’t currently offer overnight boarding, I do have a fenced-in backyard where my dogs love to run and play—it’s a great space for safe outdoor time! As for my cat, she’s not a fan of the outdoors, but I still make sure she gets enrichment and movement by taking her on walks when she’s in the mood. I’m all about giving pets what they need to feel happy, safe, and comfortable.
“Jenni was great! She was very attentive and happy to take care of all the needs of our dogs. She was reliable and punctual. She kept me in the loop after each visit which set my mind at ease. I really appreciated her time and TLC.”
“Katie looked after my 3 cats for drop in visits and was excellent! She was able to do medicine for the little one and everyone was happy when I got home.”
About: My love for pets run deep & I have such a soft spot for them. Pets love me, cling to me & become comfortable with me quick. I’ve sitted for family, friends & clients on several occasions. I make sure pets are cared for, looked out for, feel safe, special & shown love during my visit. I’ve also had well taken care of animals of my own since a kid so I’m real familiar with different kind of animals. I’ve cared for many different breeds and ages of animals over the years. I currently work during the night hours so my availability during the day is pretty much open. During the week, I can care for pets between the hours of 9AM-3PM and on weekends between the hours of 8AM-8PM. I keep pets safe by making sure that their outside time is supervised. I make sure the environment is safe and clear of any hazards or dangerous things.
About: I grew up alongside 3 brothers, 3 dogs, 2 birds, and a lizard. Now I am a mom to two tuxedo cats that mean everything to me. I am a fourth-year medical student applying for residencies with free time and I would love to help care for your four-legged family members. I have pet-sat for friends and family throughout my life and am honest, reliable, and love long walks in the park. I am comfortable helping with the complex medical needs of your animals. I am currently finishing up medical school and have a lot of free time. My schedule varies weekly but I am reliable and a great communicator. I only have my two cats at this time sadly. I am a very safe driver and have taken many defensive driving courses when I was an EMT.
About: I've worked in dog daycare, as a dog bather, walker, and sitter. I'm comfortable meeting dogs where they are at and learning how to do right by each pup My main job is working within a pet salon, so I plan to do Rover on my short days and/or days off. Typically, I ask for 24 hours ahead for booking. Although, I am willing to work with you because life happens. Let me know of any needs your pet may have. I've been trained in canine first aide and I will do whatever is needed to make my visit safe and happy

I have over 10 years of experience feeding, watering, and providing exercise and walks to dogs, as well as caring for and providing enrichment to cats.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maryland Heights
Suzanne was fantastic! She was super flexible, accommodating, and made sure Salazar was well fed on every visit, always sending plenty of photo updates. On top of that, she kindly brought in packages and went above and beyond by pointing out a few house issues that needed attention and was helped as much as she could while we coordinated with technicians to get those issues fixed. Wonderful sitter!
I’m very happy with the care she provided for my dogs. She did a wonderful job and was very responsible and reliable throughout the entire time I was away. When I came home, my dogs were happy, calm, and well taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I felt very comfortable having her care for them. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of my dogs again in the future. Thank you so much
Absolutely great! Super friendly, understanding, flexible and the cutest fur baby! So grateful to have had her and making this vacation less stressful for us as we've never had a dog sitter before. The pictures were the best addition as well, thanks a million! Will ask for you again and recommend you highly by name.
Courtney is a warm, professional and detail oriented person who wants to do the best job possible. She saved the day when my regular sitter was unable to help. She was calm and meeting my somewhat reactive German Shepherd and was comfortable with that dogs energy which probably made the dog feel much more comfortable. They became good friends at the end. I would highly recommend her!
Kelsi was great, accepted for us last minute as first sitter cancelled and we were stuck 600 miles away. She came over for a p.m. walk within a couple of hours. She saved us for sure! She gave thorough update and plenty of pics. We will try to book with her again next trip we take!

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 Maryland Heights 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.

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.
