“We were visiting family in the area and Nicki watched our mini goldendoodle at the Westin while we saw a concert. Our girl Mabel was well cared for and happy and already taken out for her last potty of the night when we returned. Next time we visit we will surely request Nicki again!”
“Sharon took wonderful care of our Batman. Ensuring he was eating and taking his meds. She provided feedback and was responsive. I feel comfortable with her staying in my home and at ease he will be ok. Thanks again”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Evelyn did an amazing job! We had a boil water order while away due to a water main break. She handled the situation flawlessly. Thank you so much for caring for Ruby and Sissy under less than perfect circumstances.”
“Marsha was super communicative and took great care of our fur babies! She left the house super clean as well. Logan and Gilly seemed very happy for the company and cuddles while we were out of town!”
“Kat was great! I was in a last minute crunch to find a sitter and she came through eager and experienced! 🙌🏽 The meet and greet went well and she handled my big 97lb baby beautifully. Plenty of updates and the house was clean upon return. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Kat!”
“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”
“Katie always does a great job dog / house sitting for us. We have used her services several times and will continue to book with her. She sends pictures and keeps us well informed while we are away.”
“Lauryn was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, and she was responsive to messages. We will definitely book her again the next time we go on vacation!”
“I am so forever grateful for Matt!!! He is the most dependable, flexible, patient person on this planet. Aside for accommodating my schedule during a very chaotic, crazy time, when I got home, my dog was the happiest and most well adjusted she’s been while I had to go out of town. I know he played with her a LOT. I got a lot of photos and videos. I cannot emphasize enough how dependable Matt is. Very hard to find in this world. Thank you, Matt! Amazing job!”
“We had such an amazing experience with Tim over Christmas. He stayed at our place and was incredibly easygoing and wonderful with Emory. He even came by beforehand to meet Emory, which immediately made us feel comfortable. He brought his dog Oliver along, and the two of them got along so well. It was really sweet to see. Throughout our trip, he sent us daily pictures, videos, and updates, which we truly appreciated. The best part was how kind and flexible he was when our flight got delayed and we couldn’t return until the next day. He didn’t hesitate to take Emory home with him, made sure our flight had taken off, and then dropped Emory off the next day. It took all the stress out of an already stressful situation. We couldn’t recommend him enough and would absolutely trust him with Emory again.”
“Ryleigh was fantastic. She provided us with lots of updates and pictures during our trip and made sure our dogs had lots of love and play time. Would highly recommend anyone to go to Ryleigh for your pet sitting needs!”
“Michelle was super friendly and responsive to us and our pups loved her immediately! She sent pics of Biscuit and Dobblin showing how good they were doing and even sent extra updates when a bad storm rolled through. We are so happy we found Michelle!”
“Eleanor stayed with my Pom for a week while I was out of the country, and she was fantastic! I came home to a happy doggie and a neat and tidy place. Eleanor sent regular updates and pics through the week so I didn’t worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!”
“Niara, Took very good care of mine and my sister’s dog’s. She would send updated pictures a couple times a day. Let them out so much and gave them a lot of love. I didn’t feel they were lonely or in danger at all. Highly recommend. 5 Stars.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mehlville
Alex is such a professional! He’s always on time, has great communication skills and took such wonderful care of our schnauzer while we were away for the weekend. She just took to him so quickly and made a friend for life. He sent us pictures throughout the trip and helped me feel at ease. We recommend Alex for your pet care! He’s terrific!
Katie watched our dogs while we were away and was fantastic! We have two pups, and both can be a little slow to warm up. Within 5 minutes of meeting Katie they were following her around asking for pets. She sent consistent updates and was very quick to respond to messages. Our house was even cleaner than when we left. Would book again without any hesitation!
Diane did a great job taking care of my 80-pound dog Ollie while I was out of town. She was available on short notice, and she spent lots of time with him and kept me well-informed. She was very respectful of our home and left it very clean. I would recommend Diane to anyone without hesitation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mehlville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mehlville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,668 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mehlville. 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 Mehlville 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 Mehlville 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 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!
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.
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.
