“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
“We LOVE Tea!!!! Our boys looked so happy and relaxed in the photos and when we got home they were excited to see us but showed no signs of stress or desperation. Our home also felt warm, clean and smelled beautiful! Thank you Tea!! We hope you felt comfortable and happy in our home too ❤️”
“We found Heather very last minute after our other dog sitter cancelled on us. Heather came in and helped with our very anxious 2 year old Nia. She came in and was greeted by a very anxious and scared Nia but was very patient with her and Nia eventually came around and by the end, they were best buds. Heather also helped with our very old cocker spaniel who is deaf and not the greatest at going outside to potty. We can’t say enough kind words about Heather. She is caring, responsible and has vet tech experience. We will definitely use her again!”
“Madeline was the PERFECT fit for our family! She was amazing from start to finish. We got daily updates and photos and she was so easy to communicate with. We can tell that our home and our pets were very well taken care of and we’d be happy to have Madeline back again!”
“We were very, very happy with Greta V while we were on Vacation in Colorado. We were gone for 7 days and left our two dogs in very good hands. Greta daily updates on our two dogs and went way over and above what we expected watching our house. We would use Greta again without any hesitations. We were very happy with Rover and the communication and replying to our questions. Dave A and Julie K.”
“Jennifer is truly kind. Our girls took to her immediately which is unusual for them. She was very transparent, had consistent and relevant communication, and was respectful of our home. Most importantly, she cared for our girls just as we would have (honestly, probably better!)❤️”
About: I’ve worked at a pet store for over 2 years, and I’ve been a dog bather for about half a year. I’ve always had pets my whole life but i’ve learned so much about our fur babies in the past few years. It’s something that I can do on weekends nights, and on weekends depending on school and my work schedule. Im pretty open though on most nights! I have a fenced yard with a big german sheppard, and two black cats that roam the house. I am always with my animals to keep them company and keep up there needs.
“Rachel was amazing. She was very accommodating and communicative. She treated our pets like her very own and she is definitely a dog lover. We will definitely hire her again. Thank you Rachel!!”
“Alex helped watch our dogs last minute after our other dog sitter canceled. Very thankful they were available to help! Sent lots of pictures of Betty and Luna, could tell they were very well taken care of. Would use Alex again!”
“Cathryn was awesome! She took care of our fur babies like if they were her own. We have some needy fur babies with a few medical issues, but she made sure that they took their medication and were cared for!! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sent tons of pictures and she took care of our home. We had some trouble with our return flights and she was very flexible and willing to stay an extra night to ensure that our pups were taken care of. We would totally recommend her and we are definitely booking her again!”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Aleida was so good for Miss Kitty. She gave me frequent updates with pictures. When we returned, Miss Kitty came out to see us much sooner than she normally would. She has great knowledge of cats. My house was in order and she had started the bedding from where she slept. I would definitely use her again.”
“Madyson was great! She always responds and kept me up to date. Luna loved her from the beginning! She is normally scared but was drawn to Madyson almost immediately! The house was well kept and Luna was happy! I already have her booked for my next upcoming trip!”
“We absolutely love using Erin as a dog and house sitter! We have used her many times now and are always more than satisfied with her communication and professionalism, and we know Bruce always has an enjoyable stay when she is around. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time using Aubrey and were just as happy as the first. Our pups love her, she is very communicative, and she is very respectful of our space. She is our go to sitter!”
About: I’m an attentive, deeply responsible pet sitter with a warm heart and a professional approach to care. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a child, loving and caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. I’m always open to learning and training because your peace of mind matters to me. My background in a detail-driven healthcare field means I value precision, safety, and following care plans exactly as written. Whether your pet has two legs, four, or more, I treat them with the same care and respect I give to my own family members. I’ll treat your pet like my own and give them the attention, comfort, and best care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m currently working part-time and have flexibility over my schedule. I can build in extra time for daily walks, feeding, play sessions, and care plan tasks without rushing. This means I’m able to stay consistent, be present with your pet, and adjust my day as needed to match their routine and comfort. I care for pets in your home since my place doesn’t allow pets indoors. I’ve been around animals all my life, and like many pet owners, I’ve learned to recognize their cues and patterns simply from growing up with them. It may take a little time to learn your pet’s quirks, but I enjoy that process and find it fun to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. The level of care I provide matches your pet’s specific needs. If you just need walks or drop-in visits, I’m happy with that. If your pet needs medication, special feeding, or other care tasks, I’m comfortable handling those too. I’m ready to rise to the level your pet needs and will follow your care plan exactly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Charles
Ana did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and cats while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in great hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals, and it was clear they received lots of love and attention during our trip. She also took great care of our home, and everything was just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter. We would absolutely book Ana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!
When we initially planned our vacation I was VERY worried about dog care. I looked into several pet sitters but decided my dogs needed to stay at home. We do not crate our dogs at home and I really didn't want them in a crate somewhere unfamiliar. Then we found Billie on Rover and decided to give her a try. She has been great!! We went on a 2 week vacation and she did a wonderful job keeping us informed as to how things were at home. Our dogs are spoiled and I'm a worrier so receiving her frequent texts giving me updates was much appreciated! I could tell by the texts she was spending a great deal of time with our pups. She also did a great job with our home. I definitely recommend Billie to anyone needing a pet sitter. She is a 5 star pet sitter!! This means we can have more dog-free vacations:)
We had an amazing first experience using Rover thanks to Aubrey! She took exceptional care of our two small dogs, Logan and Miley, and truly went above and beyond while house-sitting. We came home to an organized, clean house, happy pups, and great communication throughout the trip with regular photo updates that gave us real peace of mind. She exceeded every expectation, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. Five stars all the way!
Bryant is a star house sitter! He's good with my dogs when I observe them together, and I know he's like that when I'm gone. I was 2,000 miles away, when Bryant notified my dogs were ill. He didn't hesitate to promptly call and take them to my vet. He kept me updated. My dogs are basically fine now. I hope to Use Bryant agaìǰ̣
Allyson took great care of Maverick and he loved her - he’s sometimes selective in who he likes but he immediately felt comfortable with her. She sent me updates, left my house exactly as it was, and even picked up his poop in the yard. I had to change plans and times a few times and she was more than accommodating. I’ve already booked her two more times because I know I can trust she’ll take care of my pup.
Charlotte and Wouter were wonderful. Between the time I scheduled them for my trip and when they came, I adopted 2 rescues totaling 4 dogs! They graciously agreed and we moved forward. What a great job they did. They stayed closely in touch, sent pictures often and my dogs were in great shape and happy when I returned. My 4 include 2 puppies which keep things pretty busy around here. They took everything in stride. I can’t recommend Charlotte and her husband, Wouter, enough. They are terrific!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Charles
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Charles on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,654 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Charles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
