Ollie loved Kate immediately upon her first visit. Callie stayed under the bed but when I’d check in the cats via camera it was clear both were more relaxed. Kate was consistent, checked on Callie under the bed and gave Ollie all the love he would let her. We came home & Ollie did not do his usual stomp to every floor of the house screaming at us. Nothing in the house was messed up, nothing broken, all as it was left including happy cats. I’ll definitely be using Kate again.

Don did a drop-in for us while we were at Paramount for the evening. He communicated during the booking process, asked great questions so as to ensure things went smoothly, and sent both photos and a post-visit note. Highly recommend him!

Elena was fantastic! Elena watched our two pets (Guinea Pigs) while we were out of town. Both pets are recent rescues and they both warmed up to Elena right away. We are very pleased. Elena is very friendly, respectful, great communication, and knowledgeable. We had peace of mind knowing out pets where in great hands.

About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.

About: I have had the pleasure of growing up with several different types of dogs and animals ranging from dogs, cats guinea pigs hamsters to more exotic animals like chinchillas My job is currently on break and when it does return it is very slow so I am always looking to stay busy and I love animals so that’s the perfect job for me! I tend to over love and care for them, as anyone would when you see how adorable they are! But most importantly safety is my #1 concern, my career is all about safety first so I take that very serious , you never know what type of environment or other animal can be thrown into the mix so eyes open at all times. I always pay attention to detail & how a animal is acting if out of the ordinary and safety is the #1 most important to me next to providing care & love while you are away

About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.

About: I have grown up with small dogs and large dogs. Between Shih Tzus, Aussies, labs, huskies and more, I have been around them all. I currently have four Aussies in our family home that I care for everyday. They are very energetic dogs so I am always playing with them outside or taking them on walks. As well, I have volunteered at many animal shelters and currently volunteer at my college animals shelter. It has given me lots of experience with dogs of all sizes, needs, energy levels, and comfort levels. As well as time spent socializing with the cats! As a college student who mostly babysits, I am very flexible with my weeks. I have a lot of random availability and free time during the day. As well, if I do work, it is usually during the day so I can stay with your animals over night. I am open to any options of care. With fenced in homes, I am always going to let your fur baby run around and play with them. Though, I love to walk and I know they do too. Walks will always happen even if play happens first!

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a baby. I’ve had around 10 dogs and cats throughout my life. Ozzie is my doggie right now. He’s lovely and I have been his parent for the last year. If you need someone who will not only take care of your pet but understand them I’m the ideal person for you. They’ll have fun while being safe and care for. I currently work from home. I’ll have plenty of time for your loved ones. My days off are Tuesdays and Sundays, therefore those days I’m not available for boarding. Any other day feel more than welcome to contact me! I live in 16 acres of beautiful grass, nature and plenty of space for your dog. Most of it is unfenced but I also have a fenced area. I’ll take care of your pet like it was my own baby. Either here at my home or yours! I have 10yrs+ of dogs and cats experience. I’m the best at this and you’ll have peace of mind like no other sitter can give.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life both cats and dogs. Know how to feed them and make sure they are alright in their environment. Pet care fits in easily I have taken care of pets my whole life especially dogs and cats. The idea of pet care is deeply instilled into me almost like religion. I can’t board animals here because of the animals already here but rest assured I can be trusted with your home and pet. I have watched over both houses and pets while friends and family were away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I treat every pet like family. As a future nursing student and lifelong animal lover, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling feeding routines, medications, walks, playtimes, and lots of affection. I currently have a very flexible schedule for the summer and am available for drop ins and walks throughout the week. Once I begin school in the fall, my availability will become more limited, but I’ll continue to keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about scheduling, and always happy to work with pet parents to find a time that works for both. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before walks or potty breaks to ensure safety. I respect each client’s homes, and make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, attention, and lots of affection. I also make sure to provide detailed updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

Alexis did an amazing job with my cat! She was able to give him his oral medication (which is not easy to shove down his throat) and his inhaler. She earned his trust and he loved her by the end. Alexis sent me videos and pictures every time she would drop in. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Saint Charles

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Saint Charles on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 12,256 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Saint Charles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Charles stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Saint Charles 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!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Saint Charles with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Charles. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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.
