“We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Nancy and Paul for our two cats! They kept us posted with great pictures during their drop-in visits, which made our vacation totally stress-free. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST Rover sitter! Emily is truly such a blessing to us, and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! ❤️ She is the sweetest, most caring person, and it is so obvious how much she genuinely loves and cares for Thea. She treats Thea like one of her own dogs, and that means more to me than she will ever know. Emily goes above and beyond every single time she watches Thea. She brings her special treats and bones, takes her on walks, and even puts on Paw Patrol or a movie for her to watch while I’m away. 🥹 It’s all the little extra things she does that show just how much she cares. Knowing Thea is not only safe but also loved, spoiled, and happy while I’m at work gives me such peace of mind. As someone who has to be away from home for long shifts, having someone I can trust with my girl is priceless. Emily is so much more than a dog sitter to us. She is a huge blessing in our lives, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I would recommend her a million times over to anyone looking for someone who will love their pet like family. Thea and I absolutely adore her! 🐾💕”
“Melanie has been our go to cat sitter for over a year now and she is phenomenal, very communicative. I never worry about our fur babies when we are away since she is taking great care of them!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 18 for both dogs and cats of all ages! I’ve had experience with cats, puppies, big dogs, and small dogs. I’ve also had experience with giving medication to both dogs and cats. Pet sitting is something I enjoy doing and I always love them like my own! I do my very best to make sure all your pets are happy and healthy under my care :) I’m currently home from college for the summer so I have quite a bit of free time for check-ins! I’m pretty flexible so I can work with whatever you need. I follow any directions given to me for your pets, I like to make sure to keep them in their usual routine since I know that their owner being away can be stressful for them.
“Brooklyn was the best cat sitter!! I was super nervous to leave my two kittens for two weeks and she made me feel completely at ease. She sent great photos and updates each day. My two kittens seemed to really love her. She even offered to water my plants! I asked her to open my kittens advent calendars and stockings at Christmas time and she was so great about it haha!! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back!”
“Caeley was very nice and took wonderful care of my Maltese Maddie while I was gone out of state. She took Maddie on two walks everyday and played with him. She visited my house three times each day. Maddie enjoyed his walks with her. She enjoyed taking care of him and offered to do it again. She was very dependable and came on time. I will certainly use her again the next time I travel.”
“Our cats love when Diane comes by to check on them. Our youngest cat is scared of dang near everything and doesn't like strangers but even he comes out for playtime/pets when she comes by. She really takes the time to play with the boys and make sure they are well taken care of.”
About: Hi, I’m Brie! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from volunteering as a dog walker at the APA shelter to sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m also a college cross country and track athlete, so I love running with high-energy pups who need more than just a stroll. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or snuggles, I tailor care to each dog’s personality. With two dogs of my own, I know how important it is to find someone reliable, active, and loving. Your dog will be treated like family! Weekdays: Dog walking & drop-in visits Weekends: Overnight sitting & extended care Winter & Summer Breaks: Open availability for sitting, walking, and extended care Also available in Webster Groves Your dog’s wellbeing is my top priority. I create a calm, secure environment where pups feel at ease—whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. I follow your care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always prioritize safety on walks and during play. With years of experience and two dogs of my own, I understand how important trust is. I treat every dog like family, offering gentle guidance, positive reinforcement, and a space where they can thrive physically and emotionally
About: I grew up with three big dogs and loved every second of it! I am a middle school teacher looking to watch after your pets until I can afford my own! I am a teacher working a summer job from 12:30-4 most weeks until the school year! I am pretty available throughout the day to walk, feed and love your pets! I have countless years of experience in childcare and babysitting (which is helpful with pets as well). My apartment center has a wonderful dog park and I love to go on walks as well!
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a young kid. I practically grew up in a zoo with my many pets and have always been the go-to pet sitter when friends go out of town. I currently have my own pet Louie who is my world. I currently work part time and I’m a pre service teacher, meaning I’m student teaching, so I have plenty of availability before and after school and on my off days to take your furry best friend for a walk, let outside, and give extra cuddles. I currently will only take care of animals in your own home, so I will follow any and all directions of backyard time, walk time, etc that may be necessary.
About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”
About: Empathetic and caring towards pets. My first pet was a fish, named Cogi. Since then I've had a gerbil, dog (bichon frise) named Casso, and now have two cats (littermates - part maine coon - Sage & Chowder). I have enjoyed times when I volunteered with child care and senior care facilities in the past as well. Always enjoy spending time with and connecting with pets. Rarely if ever meet any pet I have difficulty connecting with. I'm currently self employed, studying for MO real estate exam & license, and often engaged in other opportunities on the side as well. However, despite my busy schedule at times, I am quite proficient at juggling tasks, maintaining physical & mental health, eating healthy, exercising when possible, and still prioritizing pet care in the midst of it all! I can bring toys, treats, food, litter or anything needed, but am not currently boarding pets at my residence. I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) feel comfortable, clean up after myself and any pet(s), and keep you informed of anything out of the normal.
“She was so kind and thoughtful when caring for our pets! We got plenty of update photos and she reached out of there was even the slightest concern. It was so comforting to know our fur babies were so well loved and cared for while we were away!”
About: I grew up around dogs and spent four years volunteering at an animal shelter in college, where I worked with dogs of every size, energy level, and temperament—including shy, anxious, and reactive pups who needed extra patience. Today I'm a dog mom to Coco, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I keep routines consistent, follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work a full-time consulting job with a flexible, project-based schedule, so I open bookings by date rather than every week. When I'm available, your dog gets my full attention—no hours alone in a crate. My Rover calendar is always kept current, so if a date shows open, I'm truly available. I'm happy to do a meet & greet before any first stay. My home in Webster Groves is a quiet house with a fenced backyard, and the landscaping was planned with dog-safe plants. I host one family's dogs at a time, so your pup is never in a crowd. My dog Coco is a 30 lb mixed breed who is gentle and easygoing with other dogs—she'll play for a bit, then happily nap and give your pup space. She's a little shy with new people, so meet & greets are relaxed and low-pressure. I require a meet & greet before every new stay, walk on leash only, double-check gates and doors, and keep your vet's info and an emergency plan on hand.
“I would 100% recommend Charnell. She took great care of Attila and the pictures she sent were very cute. She also responded very quickly whenever I had a problem, she made the whole process incredibly easy. I will probably use her again if I ever need a cat sitter”
“Katherine was a great sitter, my kitty loved staying with her. No items were lost and all the bowls were clean upon my arrival back. I recommend Katherine to everyone!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for since 2017, and using Rover since 2022, and I absolutely love taking care of animals! From playful pups to independent kitties, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets of all kinds. As a lifelong animal lover and a pet-mom, I know how important it is to provide pets with the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I am a full time biology student at UMSL. As long as it fits to my school schedule, I am flexible for your pet(s)' needs! I take care of your pets in their own home because I have 2 kitties, I am not able to offer in my home right now. I follow your pet(s)' routine to ensure they feel familiar and at ease in their space.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Parkdale
I had to leave a very skittish cat home while I went away for almost a week, and Tiana did a great job on her visits. I've never tried Rover before now, and I was surprised by how much she was trying to comfort my lil guy while I was gone. I would definitely book her again next time I need a drop-in sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Parkdale is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $23 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 of November 2026, there are 361 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Parkdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
