“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
“Kacy is amazing! She followed all our lengthy directions to a T. She kept us well informed about how our girl was doing. She made sure that our girl had multiple walks a day. She kept a perfect schedule. Our home was perfectly clean. Would highly recommend!”
“Maria did a great job taking care of Charlie. She also made sure the house was exactly like we left it. The only glitch was a problem with her schedule that delayed her initial arrival. I would definitely use Maria again.”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands that pets are more than just animals, they’re family. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting tailored to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Visits can include neighborhood walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, companionship, and enrichment. Whether your dog has energy to burn, your cat enjoys some quiet company, or your pet simply needs someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make their time with me enjoyable. I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know the individual pet. Every animal has their own personality, habits, comfort level, and favorite things. Some pets are immediately excited to make a new friend, while others need a little patience before they feel comfortable. I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the attention they need. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. One of the biggest advantages I can offer is flexibility. I currently have an open schedule, allowing me to dedicate substantial time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting and can often accommodate different schedules and routines. Rather than rushing through a visit, I enjoy taking the time to interact with pets, give them exercise and enrichment, and make sure they’re comfortable before I leave. I also understand that good communication is an important part of pet care. I’ll pay attention to your pet’s behavior and needs, follow any special instructions you provide, and keep you informed during visits. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is getting individual attention and care. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Getting to know their personalities, earning their trust, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply sitting beside them is something I find rewarding. My goal is for every pet to look forward to seeing me and for every owner to feel confident that their pet is in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need a little extra attention, exercise, companionship, or love. I currently do not work, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or sitting anytime you need. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I always prioritize your pet’s with safety, comfort, and will follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, and house rules. I can also crate your dog, keep pets separated, provide medication, etc. when needed.
“Kyle was exactly the type of sitter we were looking for. We found him so personable, friendly and loved our puppies. He did an excellent job and will use him again. This was our first time using River and we were thrilled with this service. Of course Kyle made it a great experience for us and the puppies.”
“Mara did a fantastic job with all our animals while we were away in our 6 day vacation! She house sat with them for the full time and kept them from being lonely and sad. Everyone was well taking care of and the house looked as good if not better than it did when we left. We got daily pictures of everyone and many updates throughout the day. We will definitely use Mara again in the future!”
“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of my pup while I was away on business. Having an older dog requires extra feeding instructions, along with medications, and it all went smoothly. Definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter sometime soon!”
“Marissa is AMAZING!! She took wonderful care of our fur babies and sent pics and updates. I would 1000% recommend her!! Our babies were so relaxed and showed no signs of stress upon our return. Being able to vacation and know that your pets are happy and loved at home, is priceless!!”
About: I’ve always been an animal person! I grew up with both cats and dogs and now have two cats of my own who are very much part of the family. I’ve also spent years helping care for the pets of family and friends, as well as dogs and cats in the homes of families I’ve nannied for. I’m happy to go on walks, play, give lots of attention, or just hang out with a pet who wants some company while their people are away. I know how much I worry about my own pets when I leave them with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing yours are being loved and cared for while they’re with me! I’m currently a full-time graduate student, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I spend a lot of my time studying and working on school from home. I’m not currently working outside of school, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’d especially love to add some regular dog walks into my daily routine, it gives me an excuse to get outside, take a break from schoolwork, and spend time with some four-legged company! I’m also available for drop-ins and am happy to work around your pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to work around mine. I will follow your pets normal routine and any instructions you leave regarding schedules, medications, and preferences. Expect to receive pictures and videos of your friend when they are in my care as I love when others do the same!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies for the past four years for neighbors and friends. I provide entertainment, walks, fresh food and water, and ensure the safety of your pet. I’m currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule and I am available for pet sitting and check ins with your furry friends. I provide fresh food and water, change litter boxes, ensure the safety of your pet, provide pictures and updates, and provide entertainment and medication administration when needed.
About: Have had dogs all my life. I majorly spoil my dogs. Im 27 and have had my own dog my whole life and take care of my dogs by myself on my own. I was a dog trainer for 2 years at PetSmart! I am a full time supervisor at TJMaxx in Lake St Louis, so I will be able to either stay at your homes while I am not at work or do drop by on my way to work and on my way home, or whatever is needed! Dogs coming to my house is not available at this moment. I do not have a reliable area for other dogs to come to MY House but more than welcome to go to the clients house!
“Alex and his wife Cristina were fantastic. Very nice people who from the first moment, you knew they loved animals. We were very apprehensive about leaving our 2 puppy mill mamas that we rescued just 3 months ago for a week but Alex & Cristina made us feel very comfortable. They sent updates every day, including pictures. The girls were looking for them when we got home. They watched the girls in our home and we came home to a house in the same condition we left it in. We have already set up a time to use them again at the end of the month.”
“Kayla was amazing! I reached out last minute when my previous sitter did not show up to our meet and greet. Kayla responded quickly and was so kind and willing to help. My pups can be skittish, and they immediately fell in love with Kayla. I hate leaving my dogs behind and I felt so reassured having Kayla in my home and taking care of them. She was great with them and was thorough and caring, with consistent communication!”
“Allyson was great with Sadie. She is normally a shy dog, but she warmed right up to Allyson and was cuddling with her in no time she kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend using Allyson to take care of your dog she is great”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have had my dog since 2019. I pet sit for friends and family whenever needed. Our pets are so important and it’s hard being away from them! I would make sure I take care of your dog like I care for my own. I work from home full time but have the ability to work from anywhere there is internet available. Evening and morning walks are ideal during the days that I work. I’m off Saturday/Sunday/Monday I will follow any rules that you have for your pets. Everyone cares for their pets a little differently so it’s important to keep that routine. Going on walks if the dog is used to a leash or playing in the backyard is okay with me. I currently walk my own medium size dog on a leash daily as well as exercise at the dog park.
“Aubrey is absolutely amazing. We feel so comfortable leaving our puppies with her and they almost love her more than us from just from the couple of short interactions.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Old Monroe 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 Old Monroe 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Old Monroe 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
