“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!”
“We’ve had Cynthia watch our dogs multiple times for extended stays and she is fantastic! She gives us frequent updates with pictures and videos, and the dogs always look so happy! We know our pups are in good hands with her!”
“Paige did a great job with the house and 3 dogs for a week long assignment. I especially appreciated that she took out the trash and started the dishwasher before she left! I would recommend Paige to anyone needing someone to housesit with their dogs. Thanks Paige!”
“I could tell Alex and Cristina played with Sully a lot. I think Sully was tired when I got home! I appreciate the affection they showed Sully while I was there. My house was undisturbed. Thank you so much!”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Sarah was an incredible sitter! She was more than accommodating with my frazzled self when it seemed like nothing was going as planned. She sent so many pictures and my girls loved her. I will definitely be booking with her in the future 😊”
About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.
“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.”
“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!”
“Tea is such a nice sitter. We had a religious get together at my home for 3 days. She was with us to sit Stella althrough. She kept Stella free of anxiousness and stress.”
About: Helloo! First my name is Mya. I have a little experience walking and taking care of friends and as well as my own dogs and cats !! I’ve always have a passion for animals. I would like to get more experience to hopefully make this a full time job for me!! Thank you for considering me ☺️ I’m currently working full time. Looking to make this a full time job. I am available any time before 1pm weekdays and any time on weekends! Your pets will be cared for with attention to detail according to your instructions so life doesn’t change as much while you’re gone. A compassionate understanding of the stress your animals are in without you home. I’ll will treat your pet as if they are my own!! ☺️
“Breanna did an amazing job at taking care of our 7 month old puppy!! This was our first time using the Rover app and she was so great at communication and very flexible. She was very kind and detail oriented. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”
“Kelscey was AMAZING with our 3 dogs. We have 1 dog that is very shy with new people. Kelscey went above and beyond making sure our dog, us, and herself were comfortable before we went on vacation. She also sent pictures of my fur babies every day. She gave medication, walked, fed and loved on my babies while I was gone. We will definitely use her again if we go out of town. She was amazing!”
About: Hi, I'm Raina! I love caring for dogs and cats and have years of experience, including with my late dog Coco, who lived to 15. I offer pet sitting at my home with a secure, fenced-in backyard, ensuring a safe and fun environment. I take animal care seriously, providing consistent, loving, and responsible attention, including any needed medical care. You can trust that your pets will receive the same love and protection I gave to Coco, with plenty of photo updates to keep you connected. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am usually working from home so I will be available to care for your pets. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your pet company. I ensure top-notch care by carefully boarding pets that I believe will do well in my house. To provide the best experience, I would need to know your pet's daily routines, medication requirements, and any other special needs.
“Brittney always takes wonderful care of our pups!!! I feel so at ease knowing that they are in such good hands. We have used her for both drop in visits and house sitting. She is reliable and professional. And she genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs! I couldn’t ask for more.”
About: My experience in pet care is broad and customized to each animal's specific requirements. I have experience working with older pets, adult dogs, and puppies, so I have a comprehensive understanding of their unique needs regarding care. I am different from other sitters because I take a different approach to establishing comfort and trust. I place a high priority on positive reinforcement methods, particularly for puppies, as it helps them learn important commands while making sure they have fun. I concentrate on the unique medical requirements of elderly pets, such as managing medicines and addressing mobility issues. I work hard to provide every pet in my care a loving environment, whether it means attending to their specific nutritional needs, exercise requirements, or affection. I work flex at Amazon so my schedule is pretty open. Just tell me what days you need me and I’ll do my best to accommodate for that. I take the time to learn about the unique personality and preferences of each pet, which makes them feel more at ease. I am open in my communication with pet owners about their unique habits and any worries they may have.
“We are a repeat customer for Ginger. Ginger has a love of animals and especially our 80 pound Doodle, Lupin! We can always count on her taking excellent care of Lupin and our home when we are away. Everything is always perfect when we get back home. Looking forward to our next trip in which we will again be using Ginger! Thank YOU!”

This is the second time Grace has taken care of my dog and house. Once again, I came back to a happy dog and a house that looked just I left it. Of course, I may have been tired from the trip, but the house actually looked a bit better. Grace is great on communication. She keeps me updated on how things are going without any prompting, and when I do send a message she prompt on a response. Roy, the dog, and I are looking forward to having Grace back in October. -
Madyson did a fantastic job! We always worry about Millie when we travel but Madyson put our fears to rest. She bonded right away at our meet and greet and it was clear from the start that Millie liked her. During our time away Madyson sent many pictures and updates so we were able to enjoy our vacation without stressing about life at home. Great communication and wonderful knowing we had a responsible adult in our house. Thank you Madyson!
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!
Absolutely amazing experience! She took the best care of my dogs! She treated them like her very own! She took great care of my house and even washed my towels. I’ll most definitely be using her service again. My dogs loved her! ❤️ I can’t thank her enough for putting my mind at ease while I was gone.
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 first time Aaliyah met my dogs they instantly took to her. I confirmed my booking with her immediately because I could tell how comfortable they were with her already. She took great care of my house and I was sent multiple pictures a day which put my mind at ease. Even in the snow, she took my energetic girl out to play ball. Although Aaliyah had to cancel part of her stay I was able to make everything work and I appreciate the time she was able to spend with them. I would recommend her to anyone and I will be rebooking with her in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Maryland Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maryland Heights on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,702 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maryland Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
