“Haley was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Enzo, Echo, Max, and Zach while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept us updated, treated our pets like they were her own, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and it was obvious they were comfortable with her. Haley is reliable, caring, and professional, and we would not hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our crew!”
“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.”
“Max took excellent care of our 2 dogs while away on vacation. He sent regular communication and I could tell he really cared about them. He left the house in great condition. Will use Max again for sure.”
“Alex and his wife Cristina, as always did a great job with our fur babies and maintaining our home. When we came back the girls are happy and the house is clean. I couldn’t ask for more.”
“We loved having Alicia care for our pups while we were out of town. She was kind and professional, and took extra care with our pup who was more anxious. She gave great recaps of their day and it really helped to know she was taking such good care of our pups. We will definitely be recommending her to friends if they need a pet sitter.”
“Tori was amazing. Our little critters were engaged and happy upon our return. Her constant communication, pictures and feedback made our trip stress free - knowing the cats (and the house) was in good hands. I’ve already put Tori on speed dial for my next trip. Totally would recommend her services to anyone!!”
“This was our first time using Cynthia and she was AWESOME! She was so communicative, sent so many pictures and videos (which was much needed as I am an anxious dog parent), and she was great with our babies and their medicines, meals and play time needs. Our two dogs love her so much and we are looking forward to working with her again soon. She even straightened the house before she left. 10/10!”
“Heather is great! I’ve been a Rover sitter for years but had never actually used the service myself before. Luckily when I reached out to Heather through the app a couple of weeks before I left for Christmas she was still available. When my return flight was canceled she was very accommodating and agreed to stay an extra night. I know Dewey was in excellent hands! She kept me updated on his antics and was super responsive whenever I reached out. Highly recommend!”
“Marsha was super communicative and took great care of our fur babies! She left the house super clean as well. Logan and Gilly seemed very happy for the company and cuddles while we were out of town!”
“Another successful booking with Chloe for our 3 pups! I received daily photos/videos, daily medication was administered, and the pups were in great spirits upon our return. You can tell they were well cared for.”
“Brittney is very caring, responsible, and communicative. I’m grateful I could relax on my trip, knowing our fur babies were in good hands. Thanks, Brittney!”
“Lauryn was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, and she was responsive to messages. We will definitely book her again the next time we go on vacation!”
“Ashley was amazing with our fur baby. We has a family wedding and a couple change in plans. She was very accommodating to our needs as well as our dog. She sent us pics and kept us updated on what he was doing. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I used to house/dog sit for a friend all the time but most recently I've been taking care of kitties. I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!
“Ranae is GREAT!! My dog, who tends to be cautious and hang back with strangers, ran up to Ranae and welcomed her with kisses and happy sounds the very first time he met Ranae!! WOW!! A very good start!! Ranae was prompt, attentive, knowledgeable about dogs and clearly an animal lover. Yesterday was our first dog sitting session, but I'm happy to recommend her and look forward to her great animal care in the future. Thank you Ranae!!”
“Lesley was a life saver! We have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 mini donkeys, and a horse and she cared for all of them while we were gone. She even sent pictures of our babies which I love receiving while away from them. She gave them lots of cuddles and love; even if the cat may have forced her to cuddle more than anticipated 😅 we will definitely be reaching out to Lesley again whenever we need someone we can trust to watch our four legged babies!”

Latasha was an unbelievable sitter for our dog and cat. She was communicative, so kind, and wonderfully reliable! This was the first time we have left them this long and we both felt so grateful to know Latasha was there taking care of them. Will absolutely book her again for future trips!
Virginia did an outstanding job caring for my 2 pups in my home while I was away. One of my pets has ongoing health issues, and Virginia tended to her with care and kindness, while ensuring the other had plenty of cuddle time. Apt was tidy upon my return, which I appreciated. I shall definitely be booking Virginia for all my out of town trips if possible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Olivette
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Olivette on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,724 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Olivette. 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 Olivette 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 Olivette 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 Olivette 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
