“Grace helped us out on pretty short notice! She sat with two of our dogs on our wedding day and really helped us enjoy our special day without worrying about the pups! She showed up right on time and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She is dependable, and we would highly recommend :)”

About: I have been dog-sitting for friends and acquaintances for the past couple of years. I am very accommodating and flexible. Whatever you need or request, I will do my best to fulfill it. My daily schedule gives me the flexibility to help you out anyway and anytime. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and attitudes. I work a very flexible day-to-day job that allows me to venture out and take care of your pet at most times of the day. I am also pretty flexible on days of the week and times of year to sit. I treat your pets as if they were my own. I do my best to make space for pets to choose whether they want attention or to be left alone, and try not to force contact. I also look to socialize the pet as much as I can fit in my strategy whether that is being present, going on walks, or letting them outdoors.

“Donna was great! She replied promptly to text and emails. Took the time for a meet up even though it was only a one-night booking. Donna was flexible and easy to work with. Our dogs, Rufus and Star would love to have her for another sleepover. We would definitely use her again.”

“Taylor was great house sitting with Harvey, our slober monster mastiff. After a long 4 day weekend, can't even tell she stayed over, cleaned up better than when she arrived. Thanks!”

“Lucas was such a wonderful find for our sweet pair of cats! My husband and I are helicopter parents about our babies who have very specific and different needs including our boy cat who needs to be medicated and is a very picky eater. Lucas sent us very frequent updates on the state of our cat's appetite and how things were going. In the past, we have come home to find our cat has either lost weight or has liquid medication smeared on his fur from medication difficulties. When we came home our boy cat looked the best he's ever looked after such a long stay with a house sitter. We can tell our cats felt very at home and comfortable with Lucas. The house looks great, very clean and exactly how we left it. All and all, among the best rover experiences we've had! Great communication, healthy happy pets, a clean home, what more could we ask for?”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, needs, and routine. I understand that puppies require extra patience, attention, and consistency, while adult dogs need plenty of love, exercise, and care tailored to their personalities. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether your pup wants to play, go for walks, or cuddle up and relax, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I work a set schedule, so I’m able to plan pet care around my availability and communicate clearly with owners ahead of time. I’m happy to coordinate drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and other care needs to help keep your pet comfortable in their normal routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my priority! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, food as instructed, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their individual needs. I’m also mindful of keeping doors and windows secure and making sure your pet stays safe while I’m there. I’ll provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands while you’re away. 🐾

About: During my time in a Service Fraternity at my university, I volunteered at Animal Care and Control of St. Louis on a weekly basis. The time I spent working here allowed me to gain crucial skills needed for understanding and working with animals. I have also spent time watching cats and dogs for friends while they off on vacation! I start medical school in August, but will have time to watch animals between study sessions and class. Currently, I am working part time as a science teacher at the middle school for summer school and am off at 1:30 pm, Monday through Thursday. Additionally, I have all of July off. I will not be providing boarding services. This is due to physical restrictions that will be imposed on the animal. I would prefer to house sit in a place where the animal is comfortable and less likely to be anxious.

About: I've been a technician assistant for 6 years and am a current 2nd year vet student. In clinics I was able to medicate and administer different treatments based on the doctors recommendation. I am a full time vet student so my hours may vary. I see caring for your pets as as an honor and responsibility. If I take a shift I aim to honor it. I'm willing to help out and check in on your pets if needed. I'm able to feed, take outside to use the restroom, and medicate your pets if needed. Please let me know if additional care for your pet is needed so I can see if it is a task I am able to complete.

FAQs for House Sitting - Murry

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 218 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murry. 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 Murry 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 Murry 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 Murry 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Murry. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
