“We are so grateful for Katie! She is communicative, flexible, and dependable. It is so nice not having to worry about who will take care of our guy while we are away. She goes above and beyond and we are incredibly lucky to have found her!”
“Holli did a great job of caring for our pets and home while we were gone. If she had a question she didn’t hesitate to ask for clarification. We will definitely be requesting her to watch our pets in the future!”
“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.”
“We loved having Taylor watch our Murphy while we were away. She was very punctual, provided us with great photos and left us with great details after each visit. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Brett was wonderful and very punctual. I have an extremely large dog and he handled him like a pro. They are best buddies now! Thank you, Brett for taking such good care of my big baby!”

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.
About: My experience includes caring for cats and doggies, including pups, with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Super comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and medication schedules when needed, managing puppy potty breaks and exercise, and providing the same attention (and cuddles) for kitties. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions to ensure pets feel well cared for in my care. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so there are no restraints due to my work schedule. This allows me to do drop ins when needed as well as at home care/boarding attentively. I have a two bedroom apartment where pets can roam and hang out in the common living space and guest room, as needed. Pets will not be allowed in my primary bedroom.
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.
“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!”
“Samantha goes above and beyond watching my baby girl Missy. ! I know I never have to worry when she's with her. She always keeps her normal routine and for a dog parent that always worries about my pet, she sends us numerous check in pictures and videos and lets us know how she's getting along with the other pup. Really recommend Samantha and her family!..”
About: I’ve lived in a home with three or more pets for my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I also worked at a 24-hour emergency animal hospital for over a year, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals in a fast-paced clinical setting. I’m currently in school to become a credentialed veterinary technician, which has expanded my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and compassionate patient care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities while they’re in my care. I am currently in-between jobs, but actively in school through Penn foster so I have a relatively open a flexible schedule with proper notification ahead of time! I currently take lewie on walks fo outdoor enrichment ant local parks or we play fetch in the house! We do monitored potty breaks in the back yard. Sadly I will not be able to bring your pet to my home as I have a very reserved shy little guy here who isn’t too kind to others and doesn’t adjust well, but I will be glad to care for your fur baby at your home!
About: I have lots of time to tire out your dog! I love taking walks and playing in our fenced-in backyard. I have a black lab named Jolene and she loves loves loves doggie play dates. I have lots of space for your doggo to explore and chill out. I walk my dog daily and we love to play in the yard. I have time to play and throw the ball dozens of times. My dog is by my side all day and yours will be too! I am happy to let your dog roam in the house and can crate if you'd prefer. My dog is house-trained and comfortable sleeping on her own bed.
“Lindsay and her helpers were amazing! She is super sweet and I could tell she cared for my pets just like I would have! She was very thorough, going above and beyond send photos and keeping us updated during her visits! I will be using her for all our pet sitting needs!”
About: I have been a poodle pet owner for 6 years and a lover of all dogs since I was born! I am also a mom of 4 teenagers and 7 chickens and am used to caring for lots of needs. I personally loved rehabbing my own dog who was an abused breeder female. I built confidence through slow trust and lots of love. I also groom her on my own and have groomed several other dogs as well (for fun). I definitely have a knack for animals and kids, in fact, I was a high school choir teacher because of my passion to help and care for others. Now I find myself as a homeschooling mom with open hours to love on my own kids and your furry family member! Taking walks with dogs is the beginning of building trust and confidence. I would LOVE to get to know your furry family member! I am currently a homeschooling mom of teenagers and also work at my church very part time. I have the ability to come let dogs out or take them for a walk. If your dog is a hypoallergenic breed, I could watch them at my house. I have one fur baby that could come keep your dog company only if desired, and animal loving teens that may tag along sometimes. I follow directions well and will make sure your pet’s needs are tended to in a loving and gentle way.
“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!”
About: I started raising dogs at the age of 15, use to be a dog groomer so I know about nervous behavior, I have a dog of my own. I have a pretty open schedule on the weekends, after work I just chill with my dog and play with her, and spend some time with her outside. I tend to my clients pets as if they’re my own, under pet parent instructions of course ( as in if your pet needs medicine or special food)

Pet 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.
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.
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.

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 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.
