About: Hi all! My name is Lexi and I can’t wait to know and love on your pets! Most of my life, I took care of family and friend’s dogs. 6 years ago I adopted my boxer/pit mix Ace 😊! 2 years after I got Ace, we welcomed Bernie and Roy to the family as well. I love all sizes of animals and am comfortable with all breeds! I have a background in nursing which has come in handy to give medications to pets and for any bumps or scrapes they experience! I will be on a planned break from my career starting November 20 and will have all availability during the week and evenings to pop in to take care of your pets! Happy to go with what routine your pet likes! Whether that is playing in the backyard or going on a long walk together! You know your pet best and communicating their needs on what keeps them and others safe is all I ask!
About: Dogs are our family, and I understand that small breeds have their own quirks and attention needed. I have been a small dog owner for over a decade and have experience with administering medication. I have a highly flexible schedule because I am retired from the Air Force. Your dog will receive my undivided attention because I only accept one client at a time. I promise that In terms of walks, feedings, and playtime, I can adapt to any schedule your dog may require. My primary goal is to ensure that your pet is familiar with his/her environment. In addition to minimizing stress and keeping the pet's normal routine intact. Safety is also a high priority for me while caring for your fur baby. I will ensure to keep you updated with photos.
“Rachel was great with Dexter. Love the videos she sent me while I was out of town. Dexter clearly enjoyed seeing her! Thank you Rachel, it's good to know Dexter was in good hands while I was away.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.
“Dani was very responsive. She provided my elderly cat with the medication that it needed on a daily basis. Being a first time user of a service providing drop-in visits, I was anxious at first. However, Dani took great care in documenting her visits and my home is in as good a condition now as when I left it.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and loved being around them. I started watching my co-workers pets and it led to me making an account. I walk, feed, and bathe their pets this is something I enjoy doing in my free time. I am a shift worker so my schedule is different all the time, but I can always fit in at least 2-3 visits to spend time and take care the the pet I need. The weekends I always have more time since I am off, and during the week the time won’t always be the same that I drop by. I make sure the pets get enough play time inside and out to get all the energy they have all out. I think of myself as the pet and would want to do something if I’ve been by myself all day in a house. I make sure they are eating and note if something seems unusual that the owner should know about. I see every animal as if they are my own. When I dog sit I encourage a list of things you would like to be done and the dos and don’ts.
About: I spent a year training a service dog and have extensive experience caring for pets. I’m comfortable with animals and passionate about providing loving, reliable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I enjoy staying active, going on walks, and spending time with animals. I can provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and affection while making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes through drop-in visits, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection. I can also accommodate short stays in my home when possible, but drop-in visits are my preferred service. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine!
“Theresa was amazing! She went above and beyond while taking care of my kitties. She even vacuumed, took the trash out, washed the used milk bowls, and washed the soiled waterproof blanket that protects my couch from my old cancer ridden cat that sometimes forgets to use the litter box. My cats were happy and well cared for and that means everything! I have already booked Theresa again!”
“Emily was wonderful!! This was our first time leaving Ricky (a cat) home alone. I was worried he would be lonely or upset when we returned. He was happy everyday to see Emily and she sent me some great photos that captured Ricky's personality . Ricky was happy to see us and waiting by the back door to greet us when we got home. I highly recommend Emily she is a sweetheart!”
“Maddison did amazing with our doggies. The dogs were afraid at first, but she was able to earn the trust of our doggies by the end of the first visit. Our dogs opened up to her on her next visits. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Maddison was taking good care of our dogs. We are definitely booking her again on our next trip.”
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages and sizes for the past 30 years. Currently retired and have time to enjoy the company of a pet that I can treat as my own. My schedule is flexible which allows me to care for a pet anytime. My schedule can be tailor to your pet's needs. My focus would be the care of your fur baby. I have a spacious home that allows your pet to move freely throughout the day. I have a fenced in deck and I provide plenty of walks.
About: I’m recently widowed and looking for a way to get outside and walk more consistently. I don’t like to walk alone so I figured walking with someone’s pet would be a good place to start! I have owned animals all my life; birds, cats, dogs, horses, etc. I currently have a blue heeler/border collie mix but he’ll stay home during my walks with your pup! I’m available during the week, during normal school hours. I have a daughter in school so I need to be home in the evenings to help with homework, etc. I have one friendly dog that loves to have animal friends come play. I also have crates that can house small to medium sized dogs.
About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, and feed their pets. I can't wait to play with your pups! Hi everyone! I’m a recent graduate from Murray State University, and I am now available for dog sitting in the STL area. I have 6 years of dog care experience and am comfortable dogsitting of all ages. I'm available on the weekends. And certain times during the week. If you or someone you know is looking for a responsible, caring, and experienced dog sitter—whether it’s part-time, occasional, or regular—I’d love to help out! I have a fenced yard and a golden doodle that is very friendly. If you have any questions about accommodations for your doggy I am more than welcome to help!

I would highly recommend Cierra. As a travel nurse it’s hard going from place to place and trusting someone but I knew right away Cierra was the one! She’s always quick to answer and keep me updated and connected with my boy right off the bat. My dog needs a lot of attention and exercise and she fullfilled this and so much more and we will miss her!
We adopted Beef less than a week before I had to go on a weeklong work trip. We did not know that Beef was apprehensive around people and other dogs. We ended up having to change the plan several times because She wouldn't go back in a crate, was very hesitant to let people in, and other issues. Sterling was patient and accommodating. Ultimately, my husband ended up taking off work for the week but Sterling still came over to visit to help get Beef used to new people and having others handle him beside us. He started his training academy this week and we've been told he's doing so much better around meeting new people and is even starting to tolerate dogs now too. I feel like Sterling's willinness to do something out of the ordinary and just come over to basically be a guinea pig for a new dog lol was great and I feel like it helped start to transition him into his success at training now. Will definitely use again when needed and hopefully by then, Beef will be more acclimated and they can have a more normal visit and fun instead of working around Beef's fear.
Amanda took care of my bunny with such care while I was away for the holidays. She went above and beyond by stopping by extra days, vacuuming up his fur so I came home to a clean house, and buying him fresh veggies. I could tell she really cared about him and put in the effort to make sure he was well taken care of. I will definitely be a repeat customer for Amanda!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in O'Fallon is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 2,192 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across O'Fallon. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in O'Fallon. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
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.
