“I never worry about leaving Dewey and my home in the care of Heather. It brings me peace of mind to know she’s here while I’m away, taking care of my boy. She is reliable, helpful, and goes above and beyond, making sure everything is in good order when I return.”
“This is our first time having Cynthia house sit our dog for us. Cynthia is a wonderful sitter! Our dog has separation anxiety and is on a special diet. Cynthia communicated with us when necessary, followed all of our instructions and sent great pictures daily. Our dog felt comfortable with Cynthia and he was well cared for. We would highly recommend her!!”
“Alex was super communicative, left our house as we left it, and was VERY caring w our pets. Usually our dog has big anxiety and depression when we leave but we came home to a happy and well taken care of boy! Cannot recommend enough and will be booking other dates w them in the future!”
“Madyson has a great way with pets. Shelby didn’t bark and readily went up to her at their first meeting, and our cat Arya came up to cuddle on her first night, which she never does with people she just meets. Madyson was with our pets for a week and gave us regular updates with pictures. They had a great time with her!, and we will definitely use her again. We highly recommend Madyson as a pet sitter.”
“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”
“Sydney was amazing! She sent us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were gone, which we loved. She also cleaned and started laundry for us, which was absolutely incredible to come home too. We would absolutely recommend Sydney and use her again!”
“Tea took great care of my fur-babies for 11 days and nights!!! My dog seemed quite content, happy, and healthy upon my return. Additionally, she took great care of my home. I was able to come back from my vacation with no messes or untidy spaces. I appreciated the updates and would love more videos/photos when Tea's back for future visits!”
“Sara was conscientious in taking care of charlie. She was polite and kept us updated as wo how our 14 yr old pet was doing. She followed directions well and will use her again.”

You can feel confident knowing your pets are in dependable hands and getting the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
“Jess stayed with our dog and cat and took such thoughtful care of both. They were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her the entire time. Her communication was perfect - checking in when needed and sending great pictures that gave us total peace of mind. Coming home to calm pets and a tidy house was wonderful. We would absolutely book her 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!”
“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!”

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!

About: I grew up with 15 dogs and 7 cat. I have been working g the the pet care industry for 5 years most recently I was a supervisors for petropolis where I cared for alot of dogs and cats and was responsible for the vast majority of reactive or extremely stressed animals My schedule is free and clear with no recurring commitments I can devote as much time to your fur babies as possible, and give them the care they deserve. Animals thrive on routine and I will do my best to keep them on the schedule they have, maybe with just a few extra treats along the way.
“Great experience! Our pups were happy and well cared for while we were away. We received daily pictures of what they were up to as well. Will definitely recommend Taylor!”
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.
“This was the first time we used Isabella and were very happy with her service. It was a little hard for her as she had to take over for the last 3 days from another sitter but she was very cooperative and handled it well! I liked that she sent us pictures and a note of all the the things she did before leaving. I will definitely use Isabella again!”

Another fabulous pet sitting experience with Haley. She’s amazing, our dogs love her and she’s so reliable which means we can relax when we’re away thanks to her. My husband and I both highly recommend her. You’ll be glad you gave her a chance if you haven’t used her already.
Kelscey is very kind, thorough and great with our German Shepherds. She was professional, communicative and thoughtful with the small details when it came to caring for our fur babies. Our dogs can be a lot but she handled them excellently. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know looking for a pet sitter.
Jess stayed with our dog and cat and took such thoughtful care of both. They were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her the entire time. Her communication was perfect - checking in when needed and sending great pictures that gave us total peace of mind. Coming home to calm pets and a tidy house was wonderful. We would absolutely book her again.
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. -
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. 🩷

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
