“Heather is fantastic! We have an anxious dog that warmed right up to Heather and knowing that our dog and cat are in good hands while we are away, provides so much peace. Thank-you Heather!”
“Madyson was great! She always responds and kept me up to date. Luna loved her from the beginning! She is normally scared but was drawn to Madyson almost immediately! The house was well kept and Luna was happy! I already have her booked for my next upcoming trip!”
“Isabelle was a fantastic pet and home sitter while we were away. She sent us pictures regularly and updated us on anything out of the ordinary (mostly mischievous cat behavior lol). We felt confident in her ability to take care of our fur babes in every way and didn’t worry once while we were away for a week. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a commutative and dependable pet sitter!!!”
“Charrell was great. I was so worried about leaving my dog with someone else while I was away but Charrell was very responsible, prompt, and such a great person overall. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve been taking care of pets for over 15 years, including my own pets and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with different types of dogs and cats, their personalities, routines, and individual needs. I’m dependable, patient, and easygoing, and I’ll make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel comfortable and safe. I'm currently working full time, I am available to sit weekends and nights. I can also do weekdays, I would stop by before work at 8:30am and come back after I get out at 4:30pm. I can also stay nights if that's preferred. Your pets safety and comfort always come first. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can relax and feel at home. I’m respectful of each pets personality and routine, and I take the time to earn their trust. You can feel confident knowing your pets are in dependable hands and getting the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
“Rachel was a wonderful sitter! Our pet takes time to warm up to new people but Rachel was able to make progress with her even on our initial meet and greet. She was calm and patient as our dog warmed up to her. We returned home to a happy and well-cared for pet and lovely, clean home that barely even showed she had been there. We wouldn't have minded taking out trash, etc but she took care of that anyway! We will be happy to work with her again.”
About: I've taken care of and loved on dogs ever since I was a young child. We constantly had dogs in the house and many of my responsibilities would be to take care of them. My family relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe them. We have had a range of dog sizes from a Yorkshire Terrier to a Golden Retriever. For the past five years, I have also fostered dogs. Their activity levels and their physical capabilities would range as well. Pet care fits well in my daily and weekly schedules. Over the summer, I have much more free time. I love to go to parks to walk around and enjoy the outdoors. I would love to explore them with your dogs. I enjoy pets and I love to get to know their unique personalities. I establish a consistent daily routine for feeding, exercising, and grooming the pets. This includes providing fresh water, feeding them their prescribed diet, taking them for walks or playtime, and attending to their grooming needs such as brushing or bathing. I ensure that the home or designated area is secure, with no escape routes or dangerous objects within the pet's reach.
“Jeremy was perfect for watching our boys while we went on vacation for 4 days. He provided lots of updates with pictures, followed all instructions and even cleaned our backyard and mopped as it was a wet week. He respected our house and loved on our babies. We will be a repeat client for sure in future! Highly recommend Jeremy for his services.”
About: I love playing with cats and dogs to make sure they get the attention they deserve i will do do anything extra to help the owner like take out trash ect. Almost everyday when I'm not busy i make sure i take my feed my cats ol L Play with them using their toys and give lots of pets I make sure they are fed well i take them for walks if something is wrong i will contact the owner and i make sure they are safe.
“Savannah was amazing. Highly recommended as someone to help take care of your pets and home. Very conscientious and walked our dog five times every day and played with her tons, sending pictures and video updates all the time.”
About: I've grown up around animals. Ive wanted a cat since I knew they existed, and since getting my first cat, I've taught him to sit, sit pretty, high five, and jump through hoops. Currently fostering a second with a compromised immune system, so I am no stranger to anxious pets, or pets with a complex care system. I work a part time job and have classes from 8-12 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ive got my own cats, so ill spend at least hour and a half or so each day spending time with them and doing chores at home, anything else is free time to spend with your pet. Ive got lots of energy to play with your dog and love to cuddle. I can keep a steady schedule with food, bathroom, play, etc. Also able and willing to do grooming like tooth brushing, baths, and other procedures.
“Grace immediately bonded with Quinn. Not only was she attentive to him, but she communicated regularly, took lots of pictures, offered to do laundry, and even changed the bedding before she left. Grace was approached by my next-door neighbor, a condo president (who frequently misunderstands his purview), in a verbally aggressive way. She handled herself admirably and made it clear she would not leave Quinn. I would book Grace again.”
“Aubrey was fantastic! I was nervous about leaving my dogs for so long, worried about how they’d be with a stranger, but they love her. She met them before we left, and she was great with them from the beginning. She sent me pics often, and she’s just a genuinely good person. And I’m pretty sure the house is cleaner than when I left! I would jump at the chance to book her again.”
“We loved Rebekah! She took wonderful care of our dog and cat and even did some cleaning in the house. We got pictures every day and could tell they were being loved. Will definitely book Rebekah again!!”
“Jasmine was such a blessing and truly met my needs and expectations. She took really good care of Bear while I was gone, playing ball, making sure he had his meds, and fed him each day. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone that LOVES animals!”

Ashley is the best! She took such great care of my dogs and went above and beyond while I was away. She sent lots of pictures and updates, was always quick to respond, and was super reliable throughout the entire stay. She also left my house so clean and even washed the towels and bedding so I had fresh sheets to come home to after traveling, which was so thoughtful! I really appreciated the extra effort and how she treated my pups like her own. Ashley made being away so much easier knowing my dogs and home were in good hands.
Jessica watched our dogs for the first time this past weekend and she did a wonderful job. She was up front with her work schedule which was not a problem for us and our dogs. She was very communicative and provided us updates and photos daily. If she needed to run home or be away from the dogs for additional time outside of her work, she communicated that with us which was great. The house was in perfect condition when we got home and she went beyond to help bring our packages and mail inside the house while we were gone. We have already booked her for another visit with the dogs next month.
Over the years, I’ve had several great sitters who've grown up and moved on to big-girl jobs and busy lives. They still help out when they can, but their availability keeps getting more limited, so I’ve been looking for someone I can count on, and I’m so glad I found Heather. She house-sat for my two cats, Winston and Monkey, on short notice this weekend. I’m always a little nervous trying someone new, but she came over beforehand to meet the boys and immediately put me at ease. Winnie had his shots the day before I left, so I felt a little guilty leaving him. Heather’s updates were wonderful. She commented on all their weird little quirks, which told me they felt safe and comfortable enough with her to just be themselves. It meant so much to know they weren’t stressed while I was gone, and that both boys were happy and relaxed when I got home. Thank you, Heather! I’m already looking forward to having you back.
We can’t say enough terrific things about Savory and her week-long stay with our dog and kitten. She was just the best!!! From the very first message we sent to Savory asking for pet-sitting help, she was extremely responsive, professional, and friendly. She came over twice to meet our pets and go over their needs and that of the house, and we found her knowledge of animal care and her experience with animals to be very comforting. (This was the first time we had an in-home, overnight pet sitter.) Savory gave us regular updates, photos, and videos of Copper and Milo, chatting with her at least once a day, and she followed all of our instructions 100%. She went above and beyond to bring in packages, change out the litter bags in the robotic smart boxes, and she took our dog Copper to the park for a long walk. In addition, she took it upon herself to wash her sheets and towels, remake the bed, and vacuum/clean up the living room. Her initiative and thoughtfulness were so appreciated. Finally, when our kitten Milo started displaying some symptoms of an upper respiratory illness, she called us right away. We will definitely be using Savory again, and we would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their pets.
Our dog is extremely anxious and not used to sitters at all, but Courtney was very patient and gentle with him. She not only took great care of our dog, but also our home. Our dog quickly became very comfortable with her and we would absolutely have her dogsit at our home again!
Bryant is a star house sitter! He's good with my dogs when I observe them together, and I know he's like that when I'm gone. I was 2,000 miles away, when Bryant notified my dogs were ill. He didn't hesitate to promptly call and take them to my vet. He kept me updated. My dogs are basically fine now. I hope to Use Bryant agaìǰ̣
We have loved having Evie over for our animals twice now! She was wonderful in keeping us updated on the pets and being attentive with their needs. She loves on them the way they deserve and is very responsive and dependable. We have really appreciated her professionalism and our dogs have seemed so happy and well taken care of when we get home. 🩷

The average cost of House Sitting in Maryland Heights is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 per night.

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 Maryland Heights 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 Maryland Heights 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 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!
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.
