About: Lifelong lover of all animals. I have a masters degree in wildlife biology and work as a Park Ranger. This is the first time in my life I haven’t had a dog and/or cat of my own and missing all the joy they bring. It would be an honor if you trusted me with yours. Open to moving at their pace and your preference, whether that’s a senior dog that just wants a lap in the park or a puppy who’d like to go for a hike. Would consider boarding after meeting pets and ensuring everyone (human and animal) is comfortable. I work full time, but have every Thursday-Saturday. I’m available most days after 5pm. Flexible to meet the needs of you and your pet! Safe, healthy, happy pets and people is my priority. I understand how pets are members of a family and currently have two very spoiled rabbits in my home.
“I’ve booked Jill before to watch just my cat and this time she watched both my cat and my dog. They both just loved her! She was fantastic with communication and she was great with adapting to both of their schedules. Will definitely book Jill again!”
About: I have dog sat for family friends several times and stayed over at their houses while doing so. I have a dog of my own and I trained her when she was a puppy. I have worked with different sizes of dogs and different levels of obedience. I am currently a college student so my hours will differ depending on the day, but I know that I have have time to fit pet care into my schedule. I am after 12pm on Tuesdays and after 2pm on Thursdays. The remaining days of the week I am pretty much free almost any time during the day. I find that even though my schedule is a little weird that may be beneficial as I can provide pet care at a variety of times. I care for pets in the way that they need to be cared for. I check on them often, make sure they are not anxious, as well as ensure they are getting plenty of exercise. If I am in a clients home I ensure the space is kept clean and the pet is happy and healthy.
About: Hi! My name is Helen. I enjoy spending time with animals, and taking care of them. I have experience looking after 2 dogs in the last couple of years - Charlie, the Labrador, for my brother; and Freya - a glorious mutt - for my friend. I've looked after them while their owners were away overnight, as well as hung out and taken them for a run in the park or the beach, just for fun. For pop-in visits, feeds and walks, I am available from 4.30am to 9pm. I can also stay at your home overnight, or take care of your pet in my home. I can look after the pet in my home, and I have 2 beautiful, friendly dogs (Poodle and Poodle-Shitzu cross) in my home for your pet to play with, if appropriate.
About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.

I work from home most days, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have provided in-home and boarding care for the last couple of years. I’m comfortable with senior dogs and can administer oral and injected medications when needed, following your instructions closely. -Star Sitter with strong reviews and repeat clients -WFH most days = more supervision -Secure fenced yard + structured play -Comfortable with seniors + medication routines -Fast replies and regular updates I am available weekdays and most weekends and can offer overnight care.

My two dogs are friendly and social, and I only accept dogs who do well around other dogs so everyone stays comfortable. “I’m happy to do a quick meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit.”
“Amanda is excellent. Not only is her communication top notch but so is the care and attention to detail she had for my cats/my asks (her 1st sitting was for 18 drop ins over 10 days). My pets loved her too, she is clearly an animal lover, they came right to her on the 1st visit. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been an animal lover ever since I was little. I have taken care of family members dogs, helped train them, and given each one quality attention and care. I love all animals, even the ones people often forget about. I adore dogs and cats, I’m a cat momma right now to two adorable kitties! I love pitbulls, but all dogs will always have my heart! I am a full time college student during the day, and I work at a daycare from 7am-8:30 am Monday through Friday. My evenings (any time after 4 pm) are almost always free. I am also free most weekends as well. I am more than willing to try to work with you if you communicate with me. I prioritize your fur babies safety, happiness and comfort above all. In order to create as little stress or confusion for your pet, I would like to first speak with you on your routines and methods of care you use everyday. I find that if I follow familiar routines, the pet feels a bit more comfortable in a new persons care.
About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.
“First time user and was very skeptical to have a stranger come into my home and care for my doggies. I am so happy and very pleased that I found Jennifer. She is very kind and my puppy who is normally barking and fearful of strangers warned up and kissed and played with her. Will be using her again and always. Dogs look happy and safe. She even snapped and sent some of the very cutest close up photos of our fur babies during her check-ins.”
“Our dog is high anxiety, even when staying at his own house and Molly is doing a drop-in. She is very patient and understanding of our rescue. We appreciate her trying to get our baby to play, but he doesn’t even do much when we try. So she tries to just be present with our dog, take pictures, and give treats. She understands him.”
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”
About: I have trained puppies, designed programs to solve behavior problems in adult dogs, cared for senior dogs, specializing in multi-dog households with a mix of all the above. I am currently designing software for a start-up idea so my schedule is very flexible. Ideal hours for day visits are between 8am - 9pm, overnight from 7pm - 9am “ish” and always available for emergencies. Different pets have different wants/needs so I will adapt my gameplan accordingly. Each visit will include some form of exercise, training and lots of love. My yard is fenced and my house is puppy-proofed. Lots of soft and shaded places to nap, inside and out. I use pest control and landscaping services so the yard is virtually free of stinging or biting insects and dangerous weeds or flowers. Clients can expect me to care for their pets and their property with utmost respect for house rules, privacy and courtesy.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 6 years including my own dogs. I have walked, fed, medicated and cared for all size dogs! From big sweet Argentinian Dogos to small and fiery Chihuahuas. My own Frenchie is epileptic and has severe allergic reactions which has given me experience with sick pets. I am always on watch and careful when on walks! I will care for your pet like one of my own. I currently work 3 days a week as a registered nurse! I have my other 4 days off to care for your pet. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate last minute bookings as well. I am able to provide loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home! I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and plenty of affection. I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also treat every client’s home with respect, keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rosewood Heights
Sabrina is awesome! I went out of town for a week and wanted someone to spend time with my two cats. Sabrina went above and beyond expectations! Not only did I feel like my boys had good company, but Sabrina was kind enough to share some homegrown veggies and pasta sauce and bring my recycling bin in from the curb. Sabrina is a great petsitter and person and I would recommend her services to anyone!
Zayden did a great job with Lucy and Ella. She sent me pictures every day and fed them and gave them water and gave them their treats every day. They were happy and well fed when I got home. Thank you to Zayden for doing such a great job I highly recommend Zayden.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rosewood Heights is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 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 2,261 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rosewood Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rosewood Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
