“Katie is just awesome! I needed her to come by twice in one day to play with the dogs, let them out and feed them and she was so great. The detailed notes she sent were so appreciated and the pictures she sent of my boys just showed how much they love her.”
“Lauren was so patient and thoughtful with our dog. She went the extra mile in everything we asked. It was so reassuring to know that we left him in good hands while we were traveling.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was about 13 years old whether it was the neighbors animals or the family pets. This included me playing with them during the day, taking them out for walks, letting them out for bathroom breaks at set times, feeding them when the owner wanted, and bathing the animals if asked to. Most days I am free after my classes on M/W/F I am free anytime after 6pm and on T/T I am free after 1pm unless something comes up randomly. On the weekends I’m free anytime. The only days I may have some trouble is on Thursday and Sunday since those are my plasma donating days and it depends when I can get an appointment for it, when I get out of the donation, and how I feel after it. I will play with the dogs and give them plenty of love and attention, I can take them for walks if the owner wants me to, let them go potty when asked by the owner, feed them at whatever times the owners want me to, and even bathe them if I’m requested to.

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!

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 Maryland Heights 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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Maryland Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
