“Katie is just awesome! I needed her to come by twice in one day to play with the dogs, let them out and feed them and she was so great. The detailed notes she sent were so appreciated and the pictures she sent of my boys just showed how much they love her.”
“Rachel provides weekly care for our dog and is always punctual. She provides excellent feedback, responds quickly, and is patient with our nervous dog, giving him the space and understanding he needs.”
“Lindsay has taken care of our pups several times and we’ve had nothing but great experience with her. Very communicative and willing to handle the chaos that our dogs can be!”
“Taylor B was terrific. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets. She was responsible, mature and extremely capable. She did an excellent job from the minute she contacted me. I felt very comfortable with leaving my pet in her hands. I would use her again for my pet.”
“Bridget was fantastic with our two cats. When she dropped in to feed them (2x per day) she always made time to give them affection and play time. Her check-in reports were very thoughtful and observant. She was also extremely communicative and easy to get in touch with. My husband and I felt like our pets couldn’t be in better hands while we were away. Thank you , Bridget!”
“We highly recommend Andrea! She watched our two cats while we were away and went above and beyond. We loved getting her detailed daily updates and the pictures she sent were so thoughtful and cute. You can tell she genuinely cares about her furry clients. 10/10 recommend Andrea to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!”
About: Life is just better with animals and I love having them around! Overall, I have around 15 years of experience caring for pets through helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting, check-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship in general. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is more of a passion and less like work to me. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I also understand the stress of trying to find the perfect sitter when you’re going out of town as I, too, have gone through it many times. That’s another reason why I decided to finally get on Rover, so I could be the dependable and loving pet sitter that folks are looking for. I do have extensive experience with both younger pets and seniors (mostly dogs and cats) and of course have a special soft spot for the older fur babies who require a gentleness that I’m very used to giving. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone reliable nearby, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care you can feel confident about. Our pets have always been treated as part of our family and the second your fur baby is in my care (via a walk, sleepover, or check-in) they will be treated like family too. I work full time but have a wonderfully flexible schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work from home so I get extra time to hang out with fur babies at my house and on the weekends I am also available! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get home from work between 4pm-5pm but can always leave earlier if need be. I love going on walks in the morning and at night (and during lunch time if I’m working from home) so if I had a pup with me and they like walks too, I’d love to add a companion to my walks!! I have a fenced in back yard and 1 indoor male cat named Pancake. My cat is very sweet (and neutered) and gets along great with other animals but we can absolutely separate if that would work best. I have no children so it’s just me, the cat, and my wonderful (animal loving) boyfriend of 9 years! We are about as stable as it gets lol. We have a couple empty bedrooms that your pet could stay in or be crated in if you prefer that they have some privacy and alone time (totally up to you but the option is there if they need quiet time). Overall though our home is pretty quiet and loving. No crazy noise - just two people and a cat who have lots of love to give other animals!
About: I've grown up around animals. Ive wanted a cat since I knew they existed, and since getting my first cat, I've taught him to sit, sit pretty, high five, and jump through hoops. Currently fostering a second with a compromised immune system, so I am no stranger to anxious pets, or pets with a complex care system. I work a part time job and have classes from 8-12 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ive got my own cats, so ill spend at least hour and a half or so each day spending time with them and doing chores at home, anything else is free time to spend with your pet. Ive got lots of energy to play with your dog and love to cuddle. I can keep a steady schedule with food, bathroom, play, etc. Also able and willing to do grooming like tooth brushing, baths, and other procedures.
About: I’ve been caring for animals all my life! I grew up with a total of 5 dogs, 7 cats, mice, fish, and gerbils. We had Dalmatians, terriers, and greyhounds. My last dog was a border collie mix so I understand how important a long, mentally engaging walk is. Spending quality time with your pet to make sure that they’re happy, comfortable, and thoroughly loved on is my top priority! I work from home in St. Charles, MO. For my boarders, I am able to have eyes on any dogs 24/7! For walking, I am able to stop by anytime of day with great flexibility. I am in a ranch style-house with a fully fenced in backyard. I work from home so your dog will have eyes on at all times! We have a corgi mix and small cat, who takes no true-interest in dogs. The corgi-mix, Ozzie, is well socialized and loves to play with others! I only take one client at a time to make sure your dog stays safe in the environment and there is no risk of major size or height difference between animals!
“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: My name is Taylor and I am new to the Saint Charles area! I live with my 2 year old cat Sushi who is the cuddliest cat to ever cuddle. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, so I know that your furry friend is an important member of the family. I have over 10 years of experience feeding, watering, and providing exercise and walks to dogs, as well as caring for and providing enrichment to cats. My keen eye for detail ensures that I follow any and all instructions when it comes to your pet’s care and when visiting your home. I know pet parents love getting updates on their fur babies when they’re away (same), so I make sure to send plenty of pictures and detailed updates whenever providing a service. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! 😊 I work in a hybrid environment, so I’m available throughout the day on Monday and Friday, and in the evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I am available for services on weekends as well, and will update my calendar if I am ever unavailable. I am very responsible and will follow any specific instructions you have thoroughly. Protecting your pet and your home are my number one priority when pet sitting.
About: I grew up around large breeds. At 22 years old, I started house sitting. After getting married and adopting 4 children, our large dogs that were litter mates passed away from old age. They are ready to have a dog in the house again. We work from home regularly and have plenty of time and people to spoil your pup. Our dogs were trained with a trainer that also trained police dogs. I'm happy to assist if you would like your dogs to have better manners. Typically we get up in the morning and feed the dogs, according to their regular schedule. I do school drop off and come back to the house for morning walks. Since we work from home we have plenty of time for potty breaks. We have a 1 acer property with a fence around the pool. We are also close to a trail if your dogs prefer the nature scene. We have a crib mattress for your dog to sleep on. If you require a crate, please bring one at the time of drop off.
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
About: I’ve grown up caring for and owning dogs my whole life! Currently, I have 3 dogs of my own who I love spoiling and enjoying life with! One is a golden retriever/lab mix, one is an 1 year old English lab and the other is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, especially large breeds. I have experience caring for senior dogs and giving medications, if needed. I have lots of experience with puppies as well! I don’t have any children, so I have lots of time to devote to taking care of your sweet furry friends while you are away! I would love to meet them! I’m a teacher, so I will have plenty of time to drop in to visit your fur baby after 3pm, and anytime on the weekends and holidays. I’m also off all summer and can come by anytime. I can stop by and play with your dogs, let them outside, feed them, etc. I can take them on walks around your neighborhood, dog park, or play with them in your backyard.
“Molly was a fantastic pet sitter for us while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of both cats, the high maintenance one and the hider. I would hire her again any time!”

Cara and her children come visit my chihuahua and 6 month old Great Pyrennes while I work. They are doing a great job, petting and playing with them like they are their own pups! They have even been able to get the Chihuahua to eat all of her kibble, not just her favorite bits.
We highly recommend Andrea! She watched our two cats while we were away and went above and beyond. We loved getting her detailed daily updates and the pictures she sent were so thoughtful and cute. You can tell she genuinely cares about her furry clients. 10/10 recommend Andrea to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Charles is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 2,662 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Charles. 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 Saint Charles. 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.
