“Leroy was absolutely wonderful! He took care of our two dachshunds as if they were his own while we were out of town. Throughout our trip, he sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, healthy, and well cared for. By the end of the stay, they were genuinely sad to see him go! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to Leroy for future trips. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
“Evelyn did a great job keeping us informed of our yellow lab's daily activities. She left the house in great condition, and we are looking forward to having her watch our pup again soon in the future.”
“While Dutch was super happy to see me when I got home, he was relaxed and clearly well cared for by Alex while I was away. My home was as tidy upon my return as it was when I left. Thank you, Alex, for being good to my boy and for updates while I was away.”
About: Over the past 20 years I’ve owned and cared for dogs (both puppies and elderly), cats, reptiles, rodents, and invertebrates. I’ve rescued a pup and trained a couple high energy dogs, one with a great deal of anxiety and fear aggression.I have experience cat sitting for various out of town owners over the years I currently go to school part time so my schedule is pretty flexible right now. I have a one year old pup who is very active and would love to make some new friends if the opportunity arises. I love to stay active, spend time outdoors, and meet new animal friends. Providing pet care is a job I was made for. Whether in my own home, or in a clients home, I can guarantee that your pet will get the care they are accustomed to. I am a detail oriented mother myself and understand the value of knowing your instructions will be followed and your babies will be safe.
“Lauryn did a great job staying in our home with our pup. She followed our instructions for feeding and meds and sent updates with pictures. It was our first booking with Lauryn and we’ll certainly book her again and would recommend!”
“Kristin did such a great job watching my mini Bernedoodle, Mason... He gets nervous when he's alone, but Kristin made him feel very comfortable and took great care of him. I came home and I could tell he was happy and had a nice time. Great communication and professionalism as well. I'll definitely be booking Kristin again!”
“I feel fortunate to have found Anya on Rover to dog sit my beloved beagle for a week while I was on vacation. She did a great job, and I appreciated her sending me updates during the week on how my dog was doing. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend Anya!”
“Emma was kind and considerate. She took great care of our dogs and when we came home everything was neat and clean. She allowed for us to leave our dogs and be worry free for the duration of our vacation. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Chloe took wonderful care of my Frenchie and cat! Her communication was great, she left my house in impeccable shape and my babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Would definitely book her again!”
“Jamie was great with our senior pups and came through in super short notice when another person no showed. Her patience and kindness was overwhelming and definitely set our minds at ease .”
“Emily was great. She was able to help me out last minute for the holidays and everything went amazing. She updated me frequently with photos. Came home to happy pups! I would and will definitely use her again.”
“Jasmine was such a blessing and truly met my needs and expectations. She took really good care of Bear while I was gone, playing ball, making sure he had his meds, and fed him each day. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone that LOVES animals!”
“Claudia did amazing with Lola! Lola appears to have enjoyed her time too much with her! She sent daily updates and went above and beyond in taking care of the house and her. Definitely recommend her!”

Stephanie is the best pet and house sitter I’ve had, which is saying a lot, because I’ve had several. I haven’t seen my pets bond with someone other than myself the way they did with her. She understood each of their needs right away - a dog and 2 cats. Her professionalism and gentle nature with the pets is admirable. She took good care of the house as well. She also kept in touch with me often with updates. I will be recommending her to friends and families!!
Super happy to have Katie stay with our pups again! They were extremely well taken care of and so was our home. Our shy old lady warmed up to Katie more during this visit and we love that so much ❤️ And our goofy lab mix had the time of his life. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip out of town!
Alex is an excellent sitter. He communicated with us daily with photos and updates. We seemed to have a good rapport with him and felt very comfortable leaving Riley and our house under his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best!
Kellie really went above and beyond when watching my two dogs over a long weekend. She stayed at my house and honestly left it cleaner than when she arrived and I could tell the dogs were happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would definitely use her again in a heartbeat!
We had a wonderful experience with her watching our dogs! She took great care of all of them during our trip and kept everything in great shape while we were away. She was thoughtful, communicative, and went above and beyond by keeping the house tidy, taking care of the dishes, and letting us know about anything important. We really appreciated the updates and how much care and attention she gave our pups. We felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. We will definitely love to book with her again! ❤️

Evelyn stayed at my house and took great care of my dog and two cats. She communicated well, sent pics, and managed all pets with care. Everything was clean and taken care of, and I came home to happy pets and a perfect house. Will definitely use Evelyn again!
As usual, this crew is amazing! They always take great care of our kitties, especially our elder cat who needs subq fluids and medication. Our flight was cancelled coming home, and Sharon spent a second night with the clowder with no notice. We knew they were in good hands! Thank you!
Asa was very respectful of our home during their stay. We also really appreciated that Asa kept our dogs on their regular schedule. It helped us have peace of mind while we were out of town, and helped our dogs to be less stressed, too. Thanks, Asa, for your competent care of our babies!

The average cost of House Sitting in Mehlville is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $110 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
