About: I have owned and fostered dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, small, medium and large dogs. I have a great time interacting with and entertaining fur babies! I am currently on summer break from school, so most weeks my schedule is pretty open for the summer. I am typically available weekend and week days. I have experience walking small, medium, and large dogs. I have handled high and low energy dogs and cats. I walk my own dogs daily and have cared for high energy pups in the neighborhood.
“Ryan took great care of my dog while I was out of town for a week. She stopped by my house 3 times a day and walked my dog in the evenings. She sent me cute pictures which I appreciated. I was so happy that she was in good hands while I was gone.”
“Frances is awesome! She has taken care of my cats many times. She is prompt and communicates very well about how they are doing. She feeds them, makes sure they have water and everything they need and plays with them. She also gave my older cat liquid oral medication. I will definitely have her take care of my cats again!”
“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 had dogs and cats since 2011 and have been caring for them my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, play with, and give personalized care to their pets. I’m comfortable with cats of all personalities as well as dogs — from energetic pups to calm seniors. I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. As a recent college graduate, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including evenings, weekends, and last-minute requests. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, daily check-ins, or overnight sitting for both your cats and dogs at your home. I provide calm, loving, and reliable care in your home. Having grown up with both cats and dogs, I’m experienced at giving each pet the personalized attention they need — playtime and cuddles for cats, walks and enrichment for dogs, plus feeding, litter boxes, and medication if required. Your pets will be safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: All my life I've loved and connected to animals. I've had dogs since early childhood and several cats along the way. Now retired from corporate world, I'm excited to be a pet sitter, a job that thrills my heart. I enjoy being at home most of the time, so your sweet dog(s) will get lots of individual attention and love at my home. I am available every day of the week. No children in my home. All dogs enjoy my 3/4 acre fully fenced back yard that backs up to a wooded area. We have a good time! 😄 I have 3 small dogs and a spacious fenced yard. My home is near Grants Trail. The dogs and I enjoy walks on the trail every day weather permits. I am flexible to meet your needs as to crate training, potty training, medication, or any other specific needs for your dog. I am comfortable and experienced with all ages, puppies to seniors.
About: Hi, I’m Julia! With 6+ years of pet care experience—including two years at a dog daycare and training my own dog from puppyhood—I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and any dog in between. I’m certified in both Pet CPR and Pet First Aid, and I will always tailor my care to your dog’s personality and routine. Whether that means stopping to smell every tree on a walk, respecting their space, or playing fetch until they’re happily worn out, your dog’s comfort comes first. Photo updates (and pup cups) are always included! I work part-time (often in the evenings) and have a flexible schedule with several days off per week, giving me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and daytime care! My schedule allows me to be consistent and reliable for your pup. I’m currently fully booked for overnight stays and boarding through the rest of the summer, but I’m happy to help with daytime services in the meantime. I step into your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure when I’m around. I provide calm, in-home care that matches their energy. We’ll play if they’re feeling active, take it slow when they’re not—I will always follow their comfort level! During overnight stays, I stick closely to your pup’s routine and make sure they’re comfortable throughout my visit. I always clean and tidy before leaving, so you come home to both a well cared-for space and dog.
“Lauryn is fabulous as a pet sitter! Her calm but fun presence was just what our dogs respond to well! She sent so many great pictures capturing what was happening while we were away. Baxter is not initially warm and friendly and he was cuddling in her lap in no time. She knows animals of all kinds! She handled all their needs including the three times a day medication Baxter needs.”
“Kelly looked after our two kitties again and did a great job! She was very communicative, spent a lot of time playing with them to make them feel comfortable, and sent a lot of really good pictures to keep us updated. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I've grown up with many different types of dogs. I learned at a young age the importance of walks, exercise, how to love and care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog-sat for multiple families in the past, sometimes up to a week, and end up creating life-long bonds with each 4-legged friend! I currently work remotely, making my own schedule apart from an in-person part-time job that is about 14 hours a week. My availability: Mondays all day, Tuesdays after 5, Wednesdays after 1, Thursdays after 5, Fridays after 1, Saturdays all day, Sundays between 12 and 4. (Starting in June I will be available pretty much all day everyday!) I have two cats and rent, so care would need to be at your home, which I am comfortable with. I am trustworthy and dependable and will have eyes on your furry friend at all times!
“My cats were in good hands with Katie checking in on them and spending some time with them as well! She even left some cute treats and toys for them. Katie went above and beyond and also collected my mail while I was out of town. I’ll definitely Italy be reaching back out next time I need a sitter.”
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.
“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!”
About: I have 20 years of experience in the veterinary field. I am comfortable with animals of all kinds, ages, and sizes including ones with special needs I am currently working part time as a veterinary technician and I love to fill my free time helping care for your fuzzy, scaled or feathered friends I do in your home pet sitting. I can also do drop in feeding, walking, and medication appointments and of course, lots of love and attention

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!
Michelle was awesome and kept me up to date with juju process and anything. She sent some many pictures, even the freeloaders..LOL. I will use her again and again. it was a comfort knowing that she was taking care of juju while I was gone and keeping her company

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

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.
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.
