“Lillian was GREAT!!!! She was there on short notice and able to change her schedule to accommodate watching my pup! Anytime I needed to reach out she responded very quickly and kept me updated as well. Willow loves walks and attention and she got all of it def will use Lillian again for my baby.”
“Gabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns. Gabbie was attentive to what my dog needs, has been consistently on-time and has built up trust with her in the span of a week. Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!”
About: I have been working in the animal field for 16 years. I also have experience administering medications of all types. I do try to keep to the animal's schedule as best as possible. I'm currently between jobs so I am able to keep your animals active. Once I'm employed again, I'll be able to fit your animal's needs before and after working hours. I prefer keeping your animals in their own home as it is less stressful for them. I keep as close to their schedule as I can on a daily basis.
“Sarah took great care of our kitty, Chuck, while we were away for nearly a week. She was very communicative, and followed instructions and came at the appointed times as planned. We were very happy with her care and would love to have Sarah take care of Chuck again when needed!”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats — for friends, family, and many clients through Rover — over the past decade. I take pride in providing attentive, detail-oriented, and scientifically informed care to ensure your pets are happy and healthy. I am a physician research fellow completing a research fellowship at WashU, where I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I only need to be away one afternoon each week for clinic, so your pet will receive plenty of care and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of individual attention. In my home, pets have access to a dedicated indoor playroom that opens directly onto a spacious backyard, providing a safe and comfortable space to relax and play. There is also a large fenced play area approximately 300 yards from my backyard where dogs can enjoy additional exercise and outdoor time. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’m excited to start this journey to spend more time, outdoors, get extra steps in, and make new furry friends! I grew up with two cats and in my adult life, I’ve spent a lot of time with my sisters two medium sized Very energetic dogs. I take care of them a lot! I’m in school right now on Mondays and Wednesdays, those days i’m available after 1pm. Tuesdays, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I have a very flexible schedule and i’m happy to help! I don’t have the ability to watch pets in my home at this time but i’m happy to do stop in visits, reoccurring visits, and overnights in your Home
“Emily was fantastic! We have 1 very reactive dog so it is a bit of a challenge to get her acclimated to new people. Emily had such a calming presence and was so patient with our dog. She communicated very well and followed all instructions. We have already booked Emily for more trips and visits.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, especially Boston Terriers, so being around them has always been second nature to me. While I was in college, I lived with an Aussiedoodle, which gave me experience caring for a high-energy, intelligent breed as well. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and can guarantee they'll get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while they're in my care. My current dog has Crohn's disease and struggles with anxiety, so I'm very comfortable caring for dogs with special needs, administering extra attention, and following specific care routines. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly dog sit and house sit for family and friends. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a dog of my own, so I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets every day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to stay at your home full-time if needed and let your dog out frequently for potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I understand that every pet has a different routine, and I'm committed to following their schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. For overnight stays, I focus on keeping your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stay in your home so your pet can remain in a familiar environment, which helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take them outside for potty breaks as often as needed, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. If your pet has any medications or special care instructions, I'm happy to follow those as well. I'll also keep your home clean and respect it as if it were my own, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have taken care of young and old dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members since I was 16. I am always sure to take them on plenty of walks, tend to their nutritional needs, and spoil them with attention. Leave me an overview of expectations/directions and your home and furry friends will be in great hands! Disclaimer: I also work a full-time job. I work in Physical Therapy but my mornings and evenings are free and I will give your pets full care and attention before and after work, including overnight stays! If my Rover schedule is free, book me! Morning bathroom break Morning breakfast Evening walk depending on the weather Evening dinner Hangout and play at night -- I can accommodate most routines you may have your pets on throughout the day!
About: I offer attentive, personalized pet care tailored to each animal’s needs. I’m experienced in administering medications, following specific diets, and supporting crate training. I specialize in socializing pets, giving snuggles, and creating a calm, loving environment. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time Monday through Friday, with Wednesdays spent working from home. I'm available in the evenings and have plenty of weekend time to care for your pets like they're my own! I provide a safe, welcoming environment with a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. Pets are allowed on the furniture, so they can relax and feel at home. I can accommodate crate-trained dogs and follow any specific routines or preferences you share to keep your pup comfortable and happy. I offer reliable drop-in visits where I provide fresh food and water, snuggles (if your pet wants them!), and play. I always respect your space and your pet’s routine to ensure they feel secure and cared for while you're away.
“Kat is just fabulous! My dogs loved her and so did I. She was reliable, on-time, warm and loving with my pets, and always kept me up to date on their activities. She sent me the BEST pictures every day of my furry family. I felt like they were loved and happy while I was gone. I would re-book her in a heartbeat!”
“Allison gets 10 stars out of 5!! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier with Allison and the job she did with our 7 year old dog. She stopped by on two separate occasions prior to our trip to get acquainted with our dog. She was super diligent and on time for every visit. She communicated very well and provided ample updates and pictures. We’re lucky to have found her and will use her again.”
“Samantha was awesome!! She came to meet us and our boys before the actual dates. I felt like I had known her forever and that made me feel so much better about her checking in on our babies. We will definitely be reaching out again for the next time. Thanks so much!!!”
About: During my middle school years, I engaged in volunteer work at a local animal hospital, where my responsibilities included maintaining the cleanliness of animal crates and assisting in the adoption process. Subsequently, during my high school years, I gained valuable experience through an internship with a professional groomer. Since then, I have had the privilege of caring for approximately nine dogs at various points in time, each of whom I consider an integral part of my family. My personal experiences have reinforced my belief that pets are cherished members of the family and should not be left unattended. I am currently a stay-at-home parent seeking opportunities to engage myself productively during the hours when my children are in school. I am eager to contribute my time and skills to meaningful endeavors that align with my interests and expertise. My pets get updated vaccines and vet visits as needed. I also make sure to walk them when weather is appropriate. I believe in active play. The more a dog is active, the less he/she will tear your house apart. I also believe in treat time but also to keep them on a healthy balanced diet.
“Meredith did a terrific job taking care of my cat Sandy. She was very responsive and proactive with communication and her experience as a vet tech was a huge bonus since she knew how to administer sub-cutaneous fluids. She is an excellent cat sitter!”

Cyndi is wonderful with our dog, Sherman and loved on our kitties as well. She was great at communicating, sending pictures and keeping us updated on how he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend Cyndi and will continue to book with her as long as we can. Thank you again, Cyndi!
Katy was a great dog sitter - it helped that I have known her for many years. She came for a meet and greet ahead of time for instructions etc. And Katy is a vet tech - what better person to leave with your dog for your dog's care- I was completely comfortable and confident about her abilities. Very friendly and professional.
Tara was such a blessing on this last trip. Communication was great as both dogs had issues. Tara has experience with pet medications that really is reassuring. Both dogs were great when we got home and very happy! I'm so glad she lives in our area too. We will be using Tara again when we go out of town. Thank-you Tara!
Nicole did a fabulous dog with our 2 pugs. She is meticulous and shows up on time, every time. Our one pug can be very finicky and does not like to walk. But Nicole is patient and gentle. She always follows my instructions. The dogs love her. I would highly recommend her. She did drop in visits to let the dogs out of their crates, when I was gone from home 8 hours. She also sat outside, under their favorite tree, and let them observe their world.
Asa was wonderful. Trustworthy, spent quality time with our puppy Violet. When I got home she looked better than when I left and is better behaved. I can't say enough great things about Asa. I never needed to worry because the updates and pictures told the story.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Christi on Rover! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands. Christi went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she treated our dogs with genuine kindness and affection, making sure they were not only well cared for, but also loved. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and that made all the difference for us. We’re incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate to look after their pets!
Diane went above and beyond to make certain my Sheltie and Ragdoll cat were well taken care of, loved and happy. I especially enjoyed the pics of Charlie she would send twice a day. I know now who to request when I need someone to care for them again. Thanks Diane!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mehlville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Mehlville 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Mehlville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
