About: I have experience pet sitting puppies, cats, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I also love being active, so animals of all activity levels are welcomed! I available most weekday afternoons and evenings, and anytime on the weekend! I also have a lot of flexibility when it comes to last-minute requests. I am comfortable feeding, walking, handling medication, playing indoor/outdoor, and exercising with pets. Extra accommodations for young or senior animals will also be managed!
About: I have been dog-sitting for friends and acquaintances for the past couple of years. I am very accommodating and flexible. Whatever you need or request, I will do my best to fulfill it. My daily schedule gives me the flexibility to help you out anyway and anytime. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and attitudes. I work a very flexible day-to-day job that allows me to venture out and take care of your pet at most times of the day. I am also pretty flexible on days of the week and times of year to sit. I treat your pets as if they were my own. I do my best to make space for pets to choose whether they want attention or to be left alone, and try not to force contact. I also look to socialize the pet as much as I can fit in my strategy whether that is being present, going on walks, or letting them outdoors.
About: I've had extensive experience with various dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Im quick to learn and willing to figure out things with experience. Just show me how to do it and I'll follow accordingly I work all weekdays between 6-7 hours, which gives me a decent amount of time to handle the pets afterwards. If needed I can show up briefly during my lunch to let them out. I am relatively flexible As long as i am informed of the dos and donts of the household animals, I can be readily available. Medication, allergies, and other variables can be taken into account with the right amount of precaution and acknowledgement. Just let me know wha to expect.
“Lucas was such a wonderful find for our sweet pair of cats! My husband and I are helicopter parents about our babies who have very specific and different needs including our boy cat who needs to be medicated and is a very picky eater. Lucas sent us very frequent updates on the state of our cat's appetite and how things were going. In the past, we have come home to find our cat has either lost weight or has liquid medication smeared on his fur from medication difficulties. When we came home our boy cat looked the best he's ever looked after such a long stay with a house sitter. We can tell our cats felt very at home and comfortable with Lucas. The house looks great, very clean and exactly how we left it. All and all, among the best rover experiences we've had! Great communication, healthy happy pets, a clean home, what more could we ask for?”
“Grace helped us out on pretty short notice! She sat with two of our dogs on our wedding day and really helped us enjoy our special day without worrying about the pups! She showed up right on time and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She is dependable, and we would highly recommend :)”
“Chelsey was amazing. She took care of the dogs, the cats, the house- even our little garden! My babies were all well cared for and happy when we came home. She was communicative, super respectful, and cleaned everything behind her (which was unexpected but so kind!). She is very genuine and down to earth and emits such a positive vibe. We are so lucky to have found her and hope to have her watch our menagerie again in the future! Highly recommend her!”
“We were originally going to board our dogs during our destination wedding, but I got nervous last minute. Mackenzie saved the day for us. Our dogs loved her and they got to stay home with their routines instead of being anxious somewhere new. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend 💓”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through my professional work in veterinary care. I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of personalities, sizes, ages, and needs, including providing daily care, exercise, and following individualized routines. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need extra attention, patience, or close monitoring. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and quick to notice changes in a pet’s behavior or wellbeing. Most importantly, I treat every dog with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM–4 PM, but I’m available before and after work, as well as during my lunch break, for pet visits and care. I’m available from 5–7 AM, 11 AM–1 PM, and 4–8 PM during the week. My weekends are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for longer visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is already an important part of my everyday life! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure their pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. My professional animal-care experience has also taught me to be very attentive to changes in behavior or wellbeing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
“Camille did an amazing job with our German Shepherd. She really went above and beyond making sure she was taken care of and didn’t get lonely while we were out of town for the weekend. I think our Kiya might have been disappointed to see us come home. ❤️ Will definitely be using her again!”
About: During my time in a Service Fraternity at my university, I volunteered at Animal Care and Control of St. Louis on a weekly basis. The time I spent working here allowed me to gain crucial skills needed for understanding and working with animals. I have also spent time watching cats and dogs for friends while they off on vacation! I start medical school in August, but will have time to watch animals between study sessions and class. Currently, I am working part time as a science teacher at the middle school for summer school and am off at 1:30 pm, Monday through Thursday. Additionally, I have all of July off. I will not be providing boarding services. This is due to physical restrictions that will be imposed on the animal. I would prefer to house sit in a place where the animal is comfortable and less likely to be anxious.
“Taylor was great house sitting with Harvey, our slober monster mastiff. After a long 4 day weekend, can't even tell she stayed over, cleaned up better than when she arrived. Thanks!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats in my home since I was born! I love all types of animals and I miss my pets from home dearly. I am a student who’s looking for a fun way to fill my free time and make some extra money! I’m a big runner, so I’d love to have a pet to come with me! I am big into walking around campus and on trails in Columbia, so I’d be able to do that with pets! I’d also be able to take them to my apartment or my sorority house for a nice break.
About: I have been pet sitting for a long time! Outside of owning my own pup - a dane dalmatian pitty named Ekko - I am a long time volunteer of both CMHS and Second Chance! I have both short term and long term fostered both cats and dogs through both organizations. I pet sit on the regular for a few folks but otherwise excited to meet your furry friend! I am currently working full time but am happy to check in with your furry friend in the morning, my lunch break and after work! I will care for your pup in whatever way is best for your friend! I have experience with different kinds of crates, behaviors, prong collars, e collars, martingales, etc. I want to ensure your pet feels safe and secure to your standards!
About: I've recently sold my home in Holts Summit & am moving to Hallsville, MO. To all my customers over the last year, Thank you so much for entrusting me with the care of your fur babies. I've meet wonderful people & most of all, thier wonderful pets. Until I've settled in my new home, I won't be taking on the care of furbabies. The main priority is getting my yard fenced so I can do so in the future. For those of you who want to continue with my services, I would be willing to meet in Ashland for pickup & drop-off. For any new customers, this is only my 2nd year doing Rover but I have lots of experience with animals. Rabbits, horses even cows & rabbits but mostly dogs & cats. My home is a calm space & works best for older calm, mellow pets. I'm home for most of the day & they get lots of potty breaks. I hope to be available for bookings by end of August, early Sep. Thanks again for allowing me to be part of your babies lives. As of now I am no longer working & will be home for most of the day except for the occasional trip to the store I have a small fenced in yard for my pets to use I also have a room set up with additional pet beds a dog crate and potty pads for accidents. The room is especially set up for the dogs. My son-in-law and daughter also do Rover and I take care of their pets on a regular basis. I also take care of my son's dog on a regular basis
About: I’ve taken care of a range of dogs, cats, rodents, and birds since I was 12 years old. Over the years I have learned a range of skills from grooming and taking long walks to making sure your fluffy companion has someone there in the evening. I am comfortable and confident in my ability to fulfill the needs of your pup or cat. I look forward to meeting your fuzzy friends. I have a full time job working actively outdoors in the summer months which makes me available most weekends and most week nights after 5pm. I am respectful of the space your pets occupy and will always consider your pets needs and safety. I will treat your placeh as if it was my own home and will always ask about the considerations.
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal since I was 10 years old. My neighbors, friends family all rely on me to feed and care for their animals I currently work 3 PM to 11 PM and then every other weekend sometimes I do have to work overnight at my job which is 11 PM to 7 AM. But I definitely make sure I have time to do my animal sitting on the side. I care for my pets and a client’s home very well. I love when they have written out instructions and allow me to come over a couple days prior to know their animals routine.
About: I have grown up with Dogs and Cats my whole life. I have also pet/house sat for family and friends through middle school, high school and now college. I have/had many dogs and cats who have been/are massive parts of our family. 4 German Shepherds, Apache, Zoom, Ranger and Camo. 1 Husky Cherokee and 2 Australian Shepherds Banjo and Max. I have taken pride in self training my dogs to be good K-9 citizens. Ex: “Sit”, “Waite”, “Down”, “Leave it” and not jumping. Some of my favorite activities with dogs are walking/running, brushing/baths, playing with toys/wrestling, snuggles, driving around and a snack never hurt anyone! :) As for cats I’ve had/have 4 (Dizzy, Yoyo, Bast and now Tiffany!) My favorite activities with kitties are playing with the string toy, brushing, giving treats and snuggling while reading/watching Tv/doing Homework. Of course I love watching them get the zooms! :) I am a full time college student with MIZZOU Army ROTC. During the summers I’m available most days/nights and weekends. As for the school year I’m pretty open as well. We will have to communicate and see what works best for everyone at that time. I was raised to hold myself to high standards and values some of these values are summed up best by the Army values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. I believe you need all of these to not only be the best version of yourself but pull the best out of others, person or paw. I care for my pets by making them an important part of my life! I love to be active and take my dog on runs/walks and play. As for my cat when I’m doing Homework or relaxing after a long day she likes to snuggle me or play with her toys. My pets are my family, team and life. I keep them safe by keeping them in active parts of my life, researching the food they eat and have a great relationship with there vet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pierpont
Samantha was very professional, kind, trustworthy and concerned about the care and safety of our dogs. We have 2 Chihuahua/Terrier mix rescue dogs that have anxiety and trust issues. She was very sensitive to their needs and was very patient in giving them the time and space they needed. Thank you Samanatha and we would highly recommend her taking care of your baby.
Josselyn is very reliable. She did not hesitate to communicate as needed. Sent pics of my fur babies to show they were ok. Looks like they had a great time with her. She also went above and beyond to help on the day we got back and letting the dogs out in the afternoon since we were running late. Overall, we had a great experience with her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pierpont is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Pierpont 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 Pierpont 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 Pierpont 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 with handling special pet needs in Pierpont. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
