“Tara was exactly what we needed in every way! She filled in when we were cancelled on with short notice before a very important trip, she communicated and showed up promptly to the messages, meet and greet, and every visit. It was so lovely to see my usually shy to strangers rescue boy fall in love with her so quickly. Tara sent detailed and heartfelt messages along with her photos of what our dogs were up to and how they were doing each time and we genuinely looked forward to them. It had us at ease while away and that was such a blessing. I highly recommend her and would love to book her again 😊”
“Bethany did such an amazing job! She was able to take our request last minute when our other sitter fell through and literally saved my birthday weekend. Her notes were thorough and I knew our babies were being well taken care of. 10/10 recommend!”
“Kayla was great- very reliable and communicative. Appreciate the time she sent with my dog & the helpful photos & summaries she shared. Highly recommend and will definitely hire her again!”
“Angela was great! Thankfully she was able to take our last minute request to sit for our dog and two cats. She was dependable and sent updates after visits. I highly recommend Angela!”
“We had never left our dog with anyone but family before since she can be incredibly shy and anxious but Cheryl was wonderful! She took such good care of our girl. Our dog warmed up to her so quickly and she enjoyed her visits from Cheryl which made our travels enjoyable to know she was being taken of. Cheryl went above and beyond to give her the love and attention she is used to. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Aubrey was awesome!! She did a meet-and-greet with my lil guy, got all his little quirks and needs down, and took great care of him!! I also was in need of a sitter last-minute and she was very quick to respond, so she was a great find :)”
About: I have taken care of different sized dogs since I was a teen. I have experience in hand feeding and drinking for dogs who are ill. Taught dogs to walk on a leash, and basic commands and tricks with my own dogs. Experienced with Australian Shepherds, Australian Kelpies, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, and mixed breed small dogs. Dogs have different energy levels so you have to adapt care to their specific age and breed. I do not walk dogs in the heat of the day or if the pavement is to hot so your furry friend can stay healthy. I prefer to walk your companion early in the morning or in the evening. I am currently retired and looking for ways to fill my time doing things that I love! I have a lot of time to spend with your fur baby! I do not leave small dogs unattended when going out in a yard even if it is fenced. I do not walk dogs in the heat of the day in the or if the pavement is too hot to the touch. My dog is currently recovering from a illness and she is being hand fed and at times drinking from your hand. She is older so we walk at her pace. We take all of our dogs to obedience classes and work with them regularly so they are good dog citizens. Water is always left out and I encourage the dog to drink after walks. I follow the feeding instructions given by friends and family members for their pet's. Treats are given at training and when we leave to go somewhere. Myself and my husband are the people who pick up a lost dog if they allow us to and take them home or to shelter so they can be reunited with their families.
About: I have tons of experience taking care of both animals and people. In addition to being a nurse and nannying, I’ve had multiple cats and dogs and also pet-sat privately for friends and family. I’m working and in grad school, but would love to do pet care on the weekends! If you’re leaving for vacation on a Friday and coming back on a Monday, I can help with that too. I am exceptional at caring for others, staying organized, and giving attention to detail. I can handle any mess made, I will carefully follow any detailed plan of care, I look forward to taking care of your pup or kitty!
About: Hi👋 I'm Jill. I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs & cats. I currently have two cats of my own. They were both strays and came into my life at different times. I love interacting with all types of animals. Since I can't have a dog of my own yet due to living situations, I would love to take care of yours! My sister and brother in-law have two dogs that I watch when they go out of town. One is a bigger 70 lbs Australian Shepard and the other is a smaller 10 lbs toy poodle. I hope to bring peace of mind to you and happiness & excitement to your pets. I work full time, but am available anytime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays most weeks. 6 a.m. is the earliest I'm available and 10:30 p.m. is the latest. Availability breakdown: Sundays- Before 11 a.m. after 5:30 p.m. Mondays- After 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Wednesdays- After 3:30 p.m. Thursdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Fridays- Before 8:45 a.m. after 7:30 p.m. Saturdays- 6 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. (Anytime) My two cats are grazers so they get fed twice a day and eat when they get hungry. They have a water fountain that circulates the water to mimick a stream. They seem to enjoy moving water better than still standing in a bowl. When I watch my sister & brother in-laws dogs I take them for walks twice a day and we play & cuddle. I work on tricks with them too. I normally use their dry food as treats if we work on tricks for a while.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Growing up I had cats and dogs and was the main caretaker for my families animals. I'm currently working part-time between 2-8 pm so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. I will keep up to date if I have work or/and a event I have to go to if it interferes with our plans. Prefer not to do my home because my 3 dogs are skittish and can intimidate your pets. For my pets safety and yours, I refuse to offer services at my home.
“Taylor was soo sweet and attentive to our kitty while we were gone. She was great at communicating any schedule changes and left a detailed review of her visits, along with some cute pictures of our cat. I would definitely recommend her for your future pet-sitter needs!”
“Kaylee was super communicative and the pups loved her! She took great care of the dogs and left the house neat and clean. Even our dog who is usually so shy around strangers loved her. Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a puppy and a cat of my own. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent college graduate currently in graduate school and a Division I football athlete. Because of football practice, I’m available any day after 11:00 AM, including evenings and weekends. I primarily offer dog walks and drop-in visits, and my athletic background allows me to keep up with dogs of any size or energy level. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, runs, or active playtime, I’m happy to match their pace and make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I give my own.
About: I am an animal lover who has grown up with and cared for dogs my whole life. I am a college student, majoring in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. This has given me experience caring for many different kinds of animals such as songbirds, small mammals, and reptiles. My biggest passion in life is caring for animals, and I would love to care for your dogs!! I am currently home from college for the summer, and have plenty of time to care for your dog. While there are specific dates that I will be unavailable, I have a very free and flexible schedule outside of those dates. I know all dogs have different personalities and needs. I am happy to do whatever is necessary to make sure your dog is comfortable and happy.
About: Experienced pet caretaker. I've worked with thousands of pets with all temperaments over the years including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, cows, etc. I have a wealth of knowledge, experience, equipment and the proper environment to ensure your peace of mind. I am capable of handling pets of all sizes, big or small, high energy or low. I possess knowledge administering medications as well as working with animals who have disabilities.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors always looked to me as a trustworthy caretaker. Even when I moved to a new state on my own, I was able to build a consistent clientele that could always count on me. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding center for 3 years, became certified to groom dogs, done baths, nails, walks, and stayed at people’s homes (including boats)! I am currently working on training my own dog. I begin my work day early in the morning and am done by 11:30am or 1pm, which leaves lots of time to care for your pet! My days off are Friday/Saturday and only work for 3 hours Sunday morning. I cannot take in your pet at my home, as I have my own furry friend who strongly values his personal space. At your home, I can do whatever is needed!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Charles
Absolutely great! Super friendly, understanding, flexible and the cutest fur baby! So grateful to have had her and making this vacation less stressful for us as we've never had a dog sitter before. The pictures were the best addition as well, thanks a million! Will ask for you again and recommend you highly by name.
Taylor was excellent! She took amazing care of Blue during her drop-in visits and really put my mind at ease while we were away. She sent check-in cards with pics for each drop in and it was obvious Blue had a blast! Taylor even went as far as wiping his muddy paws before he came inside from playing in the rain 🥰🐾 definitely will be using Taylor in the future! So happy to have found such a great pet sitter!!
Christina and her mom were great with our dog, Kiwi. Kiwi is a rescue that we have had for a couple of years. She loves my daughter and I dearly, and she is hesitant with other people. Christina and her mom had Kiwi convinced in no time that they were the best! I loved getting pics and status updates. Kiwi will ask for this duo again.

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.

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.

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.
