“Nickali was fantastic with the dogs. We had never left them with someone before. The dogs were happy to see us, but were just as content with Nickali. It was a huge relief. The fact that he sent us pictures also helped. We will use him again.”

“Sterling was a fantastic dog sitter. It was our first time leaving the country without our pups and we were naturally a little nervous.

We will absolutely be trusting our dogs with Sterling again, giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away while being confident that they are in safe hands. Thank you Sterling!!🐶🐶🐾”

About: I’ve had pups of my own my whole life. I love all animals and want to make sure your other half is cared for! I work five days a week but I am allotted an hour everyday at lunch to go provide care to your furry friend! After work I will be able to let them out and get them out for exercise ! I always ensure that the animals care is met based on their specific needs, walks are very important and making sure they have ample time to get their energy out.

About: Hello, my name is Eden. I grew up around both cats and dogs of different breeds and sizes, so I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. As a full-time college student, I’m used to staying organized and following schedules, which helps me provide consistent and reliable care. From walks and playtime to simple companionship, I’ll make sure your pet is well looked after and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, or overnight companionship, I’m committed to giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your home, keep everything clean, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. My priority is your pet’s safety and happiness, and I am committed to providing reliable, trustworthy care that you can count on.
“I could tell Alex and Cristina played with Sully a lot. I think Sully was tired when I got home! I appreciate the affection they showed Sully while I was there. My house was undisturbed. Thank you so much!”
“I have used Madison multiple times, including for last-minute bookings, and have had absolutely zero issues every time. She is reliable, responsive, and always communicates clearly throughout the entire process, which gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. Madison is professional, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I always feel confident leaving my dog in her care, knowing that everything will be handled well. I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and communicative dog sitter.”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”

Sterling was the absolute best! 10/10 recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. He watched all five of our animals and kept in contact the entire time, sending us pictures and videos every day. You could tell all of the animals absolutely loved him and were so comfortable with him. We had zero worries while we were away knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be using Sterling again in the future!
Abbey is an excellent friend for my Chewy while we are out town!! He hates it when we leave, he is depressed and a big baby but Abbey doesn’t bat an eyelash and when we get home he has eaten like normal, had great walks and lots of love and attention! Definitely recommend!!!!
Here’s the revised version with that change: ⸻ I couldn’t be happier with the care Ashley provided for my dog! From the very beginning, her communication was warm, clear, and reliable. She took the time to learn my dog’s routine, personality, and preferences, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, Ashley sent thoughtful updates and photos that showed my dog relaxed, happy, and genuinely enjoying her time. It was clear my dog was treated with kindness and real attention. Ashley watched my dog in my home, and she was respectful, responsible, and made everything feel effortless. When I returned, my dog was content, well-cared for, and clearly comfortable. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy sitter. I will absolutely be booking with Ashley again!

FAQs for House Sitting - O'Fallon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in O'Fallon on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,365 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across O'Fallon. 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 O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon 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 O'Fallon 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.
