“Brooke is in one word ... EXCEPTIONAL! My family and I went away on a 17 day trip to Europe and we were naturally anxious about leaving our two cats alone. We connected with Brooke through Rover and we knew as soon as we met her that she was the right person for the job - friendly, personable and down to earth. She came over to visit with us before we left. She has a true gift for working with animals. We watched in amazement as our VERY skittish kitty Rosie took to her immediately. We had a couple of special requests that she handled with ease. She took care of our gecko, willingly supplying him with live crickets, and fed the fish. She brought in the mail and watered our plants. WHAT A GEM! Added to all that, we felt so comfortable knowing she was there for the cats. She visited at the exact times we requested, and cared for them perfectly. She played with our gregarious Orange boy and was gentle and patient with the prickly Ms. Rosie. Brooke took incredible photos of them - much nicer than the ones I take myself. I recommend booking Brooke most highly. We could not have asked for a better care-giver for our menagerie. We think you will be delighted too!”
“Rachel was wonderful from booking to the last visit! She cared so much for our two cats and she went above and beyond to communicate and be helpful! Highly recommend!”
“Amy was a life saver! This was our first time using the rover app and she made sure our Dog was very well taken care. She made sure to send us alot of pictures and kept us updated on the daily. Little does she know made my trip stress free knowing our dog was in good hands. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Our boys feel so comfortable with Allison. She checked in on them after a bad tornado came near our place late at night. She handled our long trip like a cakewalk and we could not be more thrilled to have her as our go to cat sitter.”
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’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m a dog owner myself, to a 3yo and a 14yo beagle mix, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, basic medications when needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable with large dogs and small and understand that different dogs have very different energy levels and needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog gets the individual care and attention they’re used to. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to fit walks and drop-in visits into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week and can often accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I’m happy to provide regular recurring walks or check-ins as well as occasional care when you’re working late, traveling, or just need an extra hand. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your dog. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs or house rules. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large and giant breeds, and I pay close attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have experience in walking dogs, and house sitting. I have stayed with cats as well. I used to be a doggy daycare attendant! My responsibilities included: feeding animals on a regular schedule, walking them on a schedule, giving them medication, and giving them play time and attention. As an animal lover I know that pets need more than just food and water. They need love and affection too! Count on me to give it my all to your pets. :) I am currently employed part time, and am looking to make extra cash and to connect with pets since I don’t have any of my own. (Yet!) I would have to have an early heads up of when you’d need me, because I get my work schedule weekly. I apologize, but I am unable to provide at home services. I will do all that is necessary to love and take care of your pet.
About: I used to have two dogs: a German Shepherd and a Pug. I also had two cats. My friend took them in when I moved and I still get to see them regularly. They were the most loving dogs and cats I could have ever asked for. I love animals and will treat your pet like it’s my own! I work from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays, but I’m always available after work and on weekends to take care of your pet. I can provide your pet with all the attention they require. I reside in an apartment with ample outdoor space, but I’ll take them for walks whenever necessary.
“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.”
“Amazing care! Kaity went above and beyond to keep my pups happy & comfortable while I was gone. She Treated them as if they were her own pets. I will definitely be returning for care in the future!”
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!
About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”
“Bennett was so great with our two "high energy", playful, cuddly cats! It was clear how much he genuinely enjoyed spending time with them as if they were his own. Was so happy to have found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“I am so very thankful for Michael’s services! He takes excellent care of my baby feline, Puddy, when I am away. I never have to worry about my cat when I am out of town.”
“My dog waited at the window on the days Kathy was coming. Dottie LOVED Kathy. Dottie had way too much energy & Kathy played fetch until Dottie gave up. She is loving and dependable. Can't say enough good things about her!!!”

Kelly did an amazing job! Our pups were completely comfortable with her and received wonderful care. She provided updates for every single visit, and the pups looked incredibly happy in all of her photos. Even with our last-minute request, she jumped right in and reassured us that they would be well looked after. Thank you so much!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mehlville is $32 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $70 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,692 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mehlville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mehlville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
