“Kaitlyn was fantastic.! We have three large crazy and chaos menaces and she did fantastic with them all weekend. They have a lot of quirks and she did great managing them all. Our girls were taken great care of. Kaitlyn is a go to for dog sitting now. She also had great communication and sent tons of photos.”
“I thought I knew what a 5 star pet sitter was like, but Makayla has set a new standard! Our 2 cats and 2 dogs were WELL taken care of. One of our pitties can have door aggression, but after a meet and greet we found a way for Makayla to safely come and go while we were away. By the end of the trip, the anxious pittie was Makayla’s shadow. We got daily updates and pictures. Makayla knows how to take care of anxious pets AND their anxious pet-parents. We will absolutely be scheduling our next vacation around Makayla’s availability.”
“My babies are my children and I’m a nervous wreck about leaving them with anyone just for a few hours, let alone a 9 day trip! Shannon stayed in my home and cared for my three animals the whole time and I couldn’t be more happy with how she cared for them. We even have a pet camera and were able to check in from time to time and she treated my home respectfully, my animals as her own, and kept in contact with me as much as I needed! She was never annoyed at how much I wanted to keep in contact, respected how I wanted my animals cared for and just followed through with everything. I truly can’t say enough great things about Shannon and will be using her to care for our babies as long as she’s willing! Shannon is extremely flexible, kind, so so sweet, and a huge animal lover. My animals loved her and clung to her from the second they met and I just couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for them! I truly could go on forever with how pleased I am. Absolutely recommend!”
“Heather was a delight to meet. She was responsive, sent several pet photos, and left an update note. she took Bijou on a couple of walks and played with the kitties. The house was in good shape and the pets seemed happy when I returned. I would definitely ask Heather to watch my furry kids again.”
“I highly Recommend Sequoia. She was very attentive to our dog Oakley needs. Everything we asked of her was followed through with evidence of pictures and videos. Upon returning after a 2 day vacation our house was neat and clean......she was very respectful of our home. We will be contacting Sequoia again for further Oakley sitting duties!!!!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I’ve been 14 years old. I’ve had experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I have a passion for animals and love to make them feel part of my family. I’m currently in respiratory school while working a part-time job, which has helped me develop strong responsibility and time-management skills. I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them whenever I can. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I accept cats and dogs that are able to stay in the comfort of their own homes. I feel like as someone with animals the safest place an animals can feel is when they’re in the comfort of their own homes.
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and previously had a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve. I'm currently working at Bronner's outside of Rover, from 8-4:30 three days a week. This would just mean that for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I will be unable to provide services during those times but can still do so outside of then or even feed a pet in the morning before leaving and after I return. It changes depending on what is needed, but I prioritize the pet's safety, and the client's home condition. Leaving the place as it was when I arrived, if not better is a priority of mine, as I hate leaving messes. I always follow medical instructions.
“Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
“Highly recommend. She was prompt, sent regular updates and took great care of our pets. The dogs were happy and well cared for when we arrived back home. Will use her services again.”

“We were out of town for two days and Rachel and Stefan stepped into help us last minute take care of our dogs. We could not have been happier with their service. The dogs seemed content and happy when we returned and the house was left in an orderly condition. They followed our instructions for dog care and asked pertinent questions. I would definitely use them again for our furry pups.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since for many years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs and my siberian husky. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable.

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 Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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.
