“Shilah is great! She kept me updated on our animals and gave them lots of love and made sure to spend time with them while we were away. Above and beyond. I could not recommend a better sitter. ❤️”

About: Just a dog mom and passionate animal lover with a dream of spoiling every fur baby in STL. I own a large, reactive senior dog that is my pride and joy so I’m well versed in reactive dogs with spicy personalities. Disclaimer: I’m a physician with unpredictable hours but I know my schedule months in advance so we’ll work together to find a good routine. I will always be transparent if I can’t provide the care needed due to time constraints. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or medical needs and cats are more than welcome to join the gang ! My schedule varies due to switching between clinic and hospital rotations every month. I’m usually available in the evenings and weekends. I know my schedule months in advance so will depend on what service you're looking for and what dates Unfortunately, my dog is not friendly with other animals so I cannot provide boarding. I can only offer house sitting if able to alternate between my home and yours
“We had a great experience with Keirra! She took great care of our cats; she was very communicative throughout the process, very easy to work with and kept us up to date how the cars were doing every day.”
About: I’ve been in the dog and cat world for 11 years, working at one of St. Louis’s biggest kennels. I started as a runner and climbed the ranks to Facility Manager. I also spent time in our grooming department, where I gave baths, trimmed nails and filed them, brushed teeth, and lightly trimmed dog furnishings. I’ve worked with all sorts of breeds and sizes. Right now, I have three dogs: Charlotte, a 12-year-old Beagle; Homer, a 6-year-old Beagle/Coonhound; and Eugene, a 1-year-old Beagle/American Foxhound. Plus and I have Jager, my 4-year-old Black Lab grandpup. Caring for other people’s pets has become my true calling. Since I got into the pet business, I’ve learned so much about how animals act. Taking care of your pet is what I love most. I’ll treat your furry friend like family. I am an early riser and my dog’s day starts early as well. They have a regular schedule eating and potty time. They also attend a local Day Camp for weekly play with other pups. I am able to leave them at home for several hours a day. I am not currently offering pet care in my home. However, I respect another person’s home as if it were my own. I ask that the client has an assigned location for all pet walking needs as well as a location for drop in needs such as food and treats. If a pet has had any potty accidents inside the home, I will definitely clean up any “ accidents “ that I should come into.
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Me and my cat have been together for 12 years and we’re still going strong! I’ve taken care of my family dogs as well such as going for lots of walks and bathing them. I am currently working as a postpartum nurse but have plenty of time on my off days to take care of your small family members :) I am very proactive and will make time to give your animals the best care! In my house, I have two cats that are both very active and enjoy running around. I’ve made sure to buy toys and furniture that stimulate their minds and keep the cats healthy. In past babysitting jobs, I’ve helped take care of dogs and cats by feeding them and going for walks.
About: My experience with dog care began at age 12 when I started walking my neighbors' medium-sized Labrador and Golden Retriever mix during summer afternoons, gaining early hands-on experience. Later, I expanded my responsibilities by dog-sitting for family friends, looking after dogs of various breeds and temperaments, which helped me develop a deeper understanding of different canine needs. I'm currently working remotely as an English tutor, and I have the flexibility to set my own hours to match your schedule and needs. I can assure you that your pet will be my top priority, and I am open to any changes, such as extended care time that you might require. I have a small backyard with a fence and a secure balcony if you want your cat to spend time outdoors. My cat is fed three times a day at specific times, so I can easily accommodate a strict feeding schedule for your pet.
“I would 100% recommend Charnell. She took great care of Attila and the pictures she sent were very cute. She also responded very quickly whenever I had a problem, she made the whole process incredibly easy. I will probably use her again if I ever need a cat sitter”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a kid. Today, I still have two family dogs and two cats that I absolutely adore. One of my favorite things to do is get outside and exercise, so if your dog loves long walks, runs, or adventures, I’m always happy to help them burn off some energy! I’m very comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved! Schedule I work from home with a very flexible schedule during the week, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My family dogs and cats stay at my parents so I don’t have any pets in my apartment.
About: I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies! I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.
“Coleman has been doing a great job checking on my father’s cat. My father is elderly and can’t bend down to fill the bowls or change the litter. Coleman has been consistent with the check ins and keeps me updated on how things are going. Thank you so much!”
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life - from my own to those of neighbors and family friends. I am able to care for young puppies to those of a more senior age. I work at a restaurant so have a somewhat flexible schedule. I can do drop ins, overnights, and walks. I would love to help your pet get the care they need! I care for each and every pet like they are my own. First and foremost I will prioritize their safety, and your wishes as the pet parent!
About: Cai has been providing in home pet care since she was a teenager and began boarding pets when she started grad school in 2020. Joe has been boarding cats since around 2019 and has began boarding dogs since 2024. My partner and I work from home and provide full time care, meaning that, unless discussed beforehand explicitly, your pet will not be left alone and you can rest easy knowing they have our full attention. We only accept more than one pet at a time if they live in the same house and we are pet free right now, so you dont have to worry about how they might get along with any other animals. We have a fenced in yard for your pup to run around in and we live minutes away from Tower Grove Park where I love to take walks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Northwoods
Paige is, hands down, one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the checklist of tasks. She sent frequent photo updates throughout each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away — it felt like we never really left. Beyond the basics, Paige went above and beyond: she cleaned up a mess without being asked and kept the litter box spotless the entire time. Little things like that show real attentiveness and care, not just showing up and clocking out. If you're looking for someone thoughtful, reliable, and truly attentive to your pet's needs, look no further. I cannot say enough good things about Paige — I will be absolutely be booking her again.
Emma did a great job with my cats! Her rover cards always had pictures and video along with thorough updates so I didn’t have worry at all while I was away. It was clear my cats loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also had no problem feeding my exotic pets and even watered some of my thirstier plants. She was always quick to get back to me will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 383 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Northwoods. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
