“Sydney was amazing! She sent us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were gone, which we loved. She also cleaned and started laundry for us, which was absolutely incredible to come home too. We would absolutely recommend Sydney and use her again!”

About: I've been a multi-dog and cat-owner my entire life until recently, RIP. I'd love to care for your furry friends as if they were my own while you're away and happy to help tidy as well! I'm injection and medication-friendly and can safely and confidently administer meds. I'm a nurse practitioner for humans at my day-job. I have a fairly flexible full time job and am available most afternoons, evenings, nights and every other weekend. I'm happy to drop in before and after work and take animals on walks or long cuddles on the couch in the evenings. I work with animals of all sizes and breeds, am active and love taking them on walks. I'm happy to administer medications to any age dog.
“Max did a great job taking care of my senior pets! He was prompt, communicative, gave lots of updates, and took extra care to make sure my cat ate her meds with her food. Will use him again!”
“Jess stayed with our dog and cat and took such thoughtful care of both. They were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her the entire time. Her communication was perfect - checking in when needed and sending great pictures that gave us total peace of mind. Coming home to calm pets and a tidy house was wonderful. We would absolutely book her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Keirra, a reliable and energetic pet sitter based in Creve Coeur, Missouri, with experience caring for Pugs, Cavapoos, Shih Tzus, Miniature Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and more. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR Certified and committed to providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care while following your pet’s routine and treating them like family. I work from home most days, giving me flexible weekday and weekend availability. I also provide frequent photo updates and quick communication so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands. If you’re looking for someone dependable, responsive, safety-focused, and full of positive energy, I’d love to care for your furry family member! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just some extra companionship, I'm able to adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In my client's home, I strive to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I always treat my clients' homes with the utmost respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.
“CC was so friendly and immediately loving to our pup Magnus! He was very relaxed and calm when we returned and I could tell well taken care of. I would rebook for dog care and recommend her in an instant!”
“Ranae was the best pet sitter we've ever used. I HIGHLY recommend her!! The dogs warmed to her right away, she was great at communicating, sent us adorable pictures of the animals every day, and left the house immaculate. We will use her again!”
“Erin took really great care of our dog while we were on a long trip. She stayed with Ruby most of the time, played with her, took her on walks, and gave her treats! She also kept us informed with pictures and messages daily. When Ruby started getting into our shoes, she sent us photos of what was damaged and moved them somewhere Ruby couldn’t get to them. Having her watch Ruby took a huge weight off our shoulders being away from her. Highly recommend!”
“Marsha is complete magic! One of our dogs wasn’t eating and having accidents before we left to go out of town for a long weekend. By the time we got home Taco was consistently eating his meals and had NO accidents while we were away. Marsha is a super communicator and sent loads of photos. We could see how happy our dogs were with her there. We already re-booked with her for our next trip! Absolutely fantastic dog / house sitter!”
“Charrell was great. I was so worried about leaving my dog with someone else while I was away but Charrell was very responsible, prompt, and such a great person overall. I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. Over the last 6 years I’ve supported friends with short term care and fostered dogs Mikki has have a pretty flexible work schedule with a traditional schedule of 9am-5pm, Monday- Fridays, that can allow her to check in mid day for walks, feeding, or belly rubs. I pet sit for friends, walk and check in on their dogs when needed, and have fostered dogs. I’m comfortable and experienced in small and large dogs.
About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me
“Jasmine was such a blessing and truly met my needs and expectations. She took really good care of Bear while I was gone, playing ball, making sure he had his meds, and fed him each day. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone that LOVES animals!”
“Chloe was amazing! Her communication was great and our dog Holly really enjoyed her company. She took Holly for walks and a car ride and sent us lots of photos. To top it off, she washed the sheets and towels. We will definitely use Chloe again!”
About: I have cared for pets throughout my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ducks, and cockatiels. While I am allergic to cats, I love them and keep cat food available for the neighborhood strays. I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors and am comfortable meeting your pet at whatever stage of life they are in. I will provide you with updates on how your pet is doing at least once a day, including a photo and a message. Of course, you are also welcome to check in at any time. Please rest assured, your pet will be well taken care of and living their best life. I work in marketing for the pet industry, which enables me to work from home and maintain a flexible schedule. I am a morning person, so taking a walk in the morning is often more enjoyable for me than for the dogs. I strive to be attentive to the well-being of pets both inside and outside, focusing on their nutrition, training, socialization, and overall care. I have two 10-lb Goldendoodles, Pepita and Miso, who are very social and have a nurturing yet playful spirit. We prefer to care for one dog at a time, as we believe this provides a better experience for both the pet and the owner. Our goal is to prioritize the best interests of your pet, recognizing that each pet has unique needs and requires individual attention and care while their loved ones are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olivette
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Jordan was incredibly accommodating, even when I miscommunicated a few things, and was always kind and understanding. What impressed me most was the time and patience she took to earn the trust of both of my cats. One of my cats is very shy and takes a while to warm up to people, while my other cat can be… a little mean! 😅 She took the time to get to know them both and made sure they were comfortable and cared for in a way that worked for each of them. She also sent plenty of photos and updates, which made me feel so much more relaxed about being away from my cats. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and patient cat sitter. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
I came home to a happy dog and a clean house, this was great. Max took good care of my senior dog while we were away and also tended to a couple domestic surprises that occurred while we were gone, all with common sense and grace. Would definitely do this again.
Mya was great! She arrived within the window of time agreed upon. She sent pictures of my lil guy. She recalled a conversation we had upon our original meet n greet & acted upon it, taking my boy on a hike on his favorite trail! I will definitely be reaching out to Mya again for future care of my pup.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Olivette is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $80 per night. 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 1,646 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 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.

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.
