“Amy has been a God-send! It's been so nice knowing my puppy is in good hands while I'm away. She is timely, plays with my pup, and leaves the house looking great. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
About: I’ve been a dog sitter and worked with dogs for 4 years now. I have experience with large and small dogs. Along with this I have a golden retriever dog who is 6 years old who I have trained since he was 10 weeks old. He is a very social dog and loves all animals and people! I currently work part time! So I am able to be at home more often. With the free time on my hands I would love to care for your animals while you are away! While I don’t have a fenced yard I have a lead! I have a pretty open yard so lots of space to run around. Along with this I take my dog on walks every day to get all the energy out!!
“Griffin was great! He helped Momo when we needed a sitter last minute. He asked thoughtful questions and really hit it off with Momo during their meet and greet. 10/10 would recommend as a sitter and we’re looking forward to scheduling more visits!”
“Kelly was amazing! Picked up a drop in visit last minute and spent time with our puppy, making sure she got her potty breaks! We loved having her visit & Ellie was happy to have someone to hang out with for a bit!”
About: Having grown up in the country we are no strangers to animals of all types. We particularly love dogs and have had them all of our lives. We love being around all animals, large or small. We are available most days around the clock for drop in checkups, in house sitting, or housing furry friends. We are on the edge of town surrounded by families that also love animals of all kinds. There are many dog friendly parks in the area we can visit so your four legged family members get plenty of play time and exercise while under our care. We look forward to helping you put your mind at ease while you are away from your beloved family pets. We know that "pets" are so much more.
About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.
“This was our second time requesting Rebecca to watch our kitties and she was even more amazing this time (which I didn’t think was even possible)! She is so thoughtful and caring! She pays attention to the little details and treats our cats as though they were her own! We definitely have a favorite Rovwe sitter now!”
“Eden was amazing and took care of our cats while we were out of town. She stopped by twice a day to feed them and give them some love. She is a wonderful girl and was great with our babies. I already have her booked for our next trip!”
About: I’m always that person at the party who hangs out with the sweet dogs. I’ve always had pets in the house. When your pet is happy, I’m happy. I enjoy getting to know them! I’m currently on a very flexible schedule. Having a position like this brings me great joy. I’m also a flexible personality, and an excellent communicator. I am very thorough with communicating with you about your pets needs. I feel very comfortable being in the pets home. I can imagine it’s hard for an animal being in a new home with totally different and unfamiliar scents. I’d be happy to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Getting to know them, and what they enjoy, is one of the best parts about this position!
“Rebecca was the best dogsitter!! She responded immediately to my request and showed up at my airbnb for three days straight on time to care for my doggies!!! She is 100% reliable and my dogs were super happy to see her daily!! She followed instructions and made my work week away from home much easier. I am so pleased that Rebecca went out of her way to be a part of my puppies' lives this past week!!! Thank you so much Rebecca! We hope to see you again soon!!”
“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”
“Kyani was great with our high energy husky while we went for a weekend away! She was very responsive, sent over photos and reports and took great care of our dog! Thank you!”
“Keena has been fantastic with watching my two dogs! She has been able to care for them last minute and consistently provides updates, asks questions about food, routine, etc., and has been quick to let me know if any issues come up. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent and attentive dog sitter!”
About: Hello! I have previously built a small dog sitting clientele in the city of Columbia between the years of 2017-2019. In 2019 I moved to STL and worked through Rover for about two more years until I got a full time job. Currently dipping my toes back into pet care! Although I am in St. Louis I am willing to travel to areas including, but not limited to; St. Charles, Wentzville, O'Fallon, etc. My set days off are Sunday and Monday. I do still currently have a fulltime job, so for the time being I will only be able to do drop in visits and walks. I am comfortable working with either dogs or cats. I have a 4 year old orange cat that I rescued at just 2 weeks old, so I have experience working with very small kittens as well. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I work about 30 hours a week, but will not let this effect how I care for your pet! My days off are always Sunday and Monday, and I am available at anytime either of those days, as well as most evenings and certain mornings. I unfortunately cannot offer services in my own home, but I am more than willing to provide pet watching in the clients home. I am able to do drop in visits, feedings, hair brushes, playtime, walks or whatever your pet needs while you're at work or just out for the day.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. Between pets of my own and caring for pets of friends and family, I have a lot of experience with care. I have also taken care of bearded dragons, tortoises, and birds. I will exceed your expectations when it comes to caring for your fur baby. I am currently in between jobs so I have open availability! I am free anytime, any day of the week! Let's get something on the books so you can have peace of mind while being away from your pet. I have 3 dogs that are my world. They enjoy a fenced in yard, walks, and get plenty of kisses and cuddles from me. I take them with me when I visit with my parents. My dogs are my family too.
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
