“Heather kept our dog safe and sound while we were out of town! She was flexible about a change to feeding that our vet required shortly before her stay and made adjustments as necessary to make sure our dog was eating enough. She also administered medication with no issues. Heather was always responsive to my messages and kept me up to date about how our pup was doing. She was respectful of our home and left things neat and clean. I would hire her again!”
“Madyson was the sweetest sitter we have had ever! She really was loving to our pup and considerate of our wishes re the house sitting. We will definitely book her again if we can.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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: 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.
About: I have over 10 years of experience handling multiple cats and dogs in my home simultaneously. In addition, I worked at Brush College for almost a year as a kennel attendant. I currently only have 2 cats, but they are spoiled with treats morning and night, plenty of toys, catifications and cat trees for them to climb on, and a good sized catio that allows them access to outside through a kitty door whenever they want to. I make sure to play with them and cuddle as much as possible. Prior to moving in, I took care of 4 dogs and 4 cats with the same love and compassion. I have a fenced in catio that allows my cats to enjoy the outside in safety. In addition, I have catifications inside allowing the cats to enjoy finding high perched in almost every room.
“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.”
“Jeremy did such a wonderful job caring for Bruce and our home for a week! He was very communicative and sent photos and updates during the stay. We would highly recommend Jeremy and will definitely book with him when we need a Rover again in the future!”

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.
“I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was phenomenal and went above and beyond in caring for my dogs and my home. From the start, she truly listened to my care instructions and respected the routines and individual needs of each dog. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind while I was away. I returned to a clean, tidy home and, most importantly, happy dogs who had clearly been loved and well cared for. As a pet owner, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing someone treats your dogs with that level of care. She exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely trust her with them 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”
About: There has been a dog living in my house my entire life, so I have lots of experience with caring for and spending time with dogs. Since 2020, I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and temperaments when house sitting or dog sitting. In addition to typical tasks, such as walking, feeding, and playing with dogs, I have completed tasks such as administering eye drops to an elderly dog, giving medication to dogs of multiple ages, and helping an elderly dog use pet-friendly stairs. I currently have a part-time job, so I have plenty of extra time to check on your house or spend time with your dogs this summer. I am able to crate dogs as needed, play with them inside or in a fenced yard, and take them on walks as requested. I make sure to carefully follow instructions regarding safety, such as proper leash usage and the implementation of baby gates. One of my dogs at home is slow to build trust, so I have experience helping anxious dogs warm up to me. I understand that dogs have boundaries and that they may take several days to become comfortable around me.
“Ayana is terrific! We had a kind of crazy last min need and she was fab. Our pup and our home were so well cared for. She even sent tons of pics to share with our kiddos who were very much missing their pup. 10/10!”
“Lauren took great care of our blind, old husky. We’d never left him with someone outside of family before and were nervous how he’d do. When we got home, he was happy, healthy, and had obviously been cared for well. Lauren also left our apartment clean/how we left it. We’re so appreciative!”
“Erin was great! Our dog Piper can be a lot, so we were worried leaving her alone for the first time. Erin kept us constantly updated with pictures and texts. She really put our minds at ease. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have experience with dogs & cats of all different breeds & ages. I have a dog & 3 cats at home & love being around animals whenever possible! I work part time & I have a lot of free time during the day to spend with the pets! I love playing with them or just having them near me when I’m home. I am available to walk the dogs when needed & spend time with them in the yard/play with them inside and hang with them during the day.

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.
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!

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. 🩷

FAQs for House Sitting - Maryland Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,657 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
