“I have used Madison multiple times, including for last-minute bookings, and have had absolutely zero issues every time. She is reliable, responsive, and always communicates clearly throughout the entire process, which gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. Madison is professional, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I always feel confident leaving my dog in her care, knowing that everything will be handled well. I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and communicative dog sitter.”
“Mason was wonderful! He came over for a pre-meet and was very polite and was happy to do what we asked. BUT he went above and beyond walking the dogs, playing bubbles. Great communicator. Sent pics and videos. Had a small emergency and he handled it beautifully! So happy we found him!!!!”
“Theresa is an outstanding dog sitter. The dogs love her so much, and she is wonderful interacting with them. She even tidied up the main floor of our house, which is above and beyond. She will definitely be my future number one choice.”
“This was my first house sitting booking through Rover and it went smoothly! Shelby was great looking after my girls while I was gone! It can be overwhelming with 3 but I came home to happy dogs. She wasn’t hesitant to ask questions or let me know what was happening with them. Such a great experience overall!”
About: I have been around pets my entire life, so taking care of animals comes easy to me! I am experienced at both house sitting and home visits. I have taken care of kittens and senior animals, ensuring they always feel safe and happy. I am a full time college student looking for work over summer break, giving me plenty of time to help out! You can trust that I am efficient when it comes to taking care of your pets. I have plenty of tools to take your fur babies on a day of fun! With both a pet stroller and leashes, I can ensure cats and dogs get some nice fresh air.

“Jordan was wonderful! Great communication before and during her care for our dog and cat. She regularly sent us pics and let us know how our anxious ones were doing while we were away. I definitely would recommend her and will book with her again.”

About: Aside from my own fur babies - friends, family, and neighbors have often trusted and called upon me to ensure their pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each one and provide the individualized care they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and loved from the moment we meet. I can accommodate any almost arrangement.

I utilize controlled indoor exercise equipment, including a dedicated dog treadmill, to maintain physical conditioning year round. Safety and trust are my highest priorities. To build real-world focus and reliable obedience, I introduce structured outings to local, dog-friendly spots and high-distraction environments to keep their mental skills sharp as a tack.

I respect your home, enforce your precise house rules, and deliver daily updates so you always have complete peace of mind!
About: Growing up, I developed a profound appreciation for a variety of pets, many of which I have cherished and lovingly cared for over the years. For as long as I can remember, I've found true joy in the unwavering companionship of most animals, especially dogs. Most of my pet sitting experiences stem from my own 20+ year journey as a pet owner, but I’ve also gained invaluable insights into relationship-based, obedience, and positive reinforcement training methods for dogs of all sizes. Though I have a full-time job, my workplace is just a short ten-minute drive from my home, allowing me the flexibility to attend to your pets' needs at a moment’s notice. My heartfelt promise as a pet sitter is to create a safe, happy, and nurturing environment that feels like an extended home, ensuring your pet's needs are met with love and care. My current work schedule typically spans Monday through Friday during regular business hours. While I can’t offer consistent 24/7 care, I do have the flexibility to take short breaks and enjoy lunch at my own pace, which means that any dog I pet sit will always receive attention and care, never going without it for more than 2-3 hours at a time. I care for all pets in a loving, home-based environment where they are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in backyard that gives them plenty of safe space to play, explore, and relax outside. My home is in a quiet, safe community that's perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. Inside, pets have free roam of the house and are always supervised. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible to help them feel right at home - and of course, there's no shortage of belly rubs, snuggles, and attention!
“Evelyn was very communicative and took very good care of our girl. Our senior dog has some quirks and special requests, and Evelyn had no issues, making our time away stress free.”
“Brandy did a great job caring for our dogs. She stayed with them the entire time we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciated her reliability and dedication.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mascoutah
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mascoutah on Rover is $42.8 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 1,058 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mascoutah. 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 Mascoutah 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 Mascoutah 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 Mascoutah 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.
