“Katie is the best! My cat Ollie adored her and she took excellent care for him especially giving him his medicine. She was communicative if there was a schedule change and if it was okay. When we go on a trip again, Katie will be taking care of Ollie 100%.”

“Brendon was awesome with my high drive dogs. I was in a bind on vacation and he stepped in. And I did not have to worry about the care my kiddos were receiving! He spent quality time with them, played with them, and kept us updated the whole time. Can’t thank and recommend him enough!”

About: My passion for caring for animals started at a young age. I spent many hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well as having the privilege of caring for my own pets at home. Growing up, I raised reptiles, fish, dogs, cats and hamsters….to name a few! In addition to being a down-to-earth, compassionate human, my friends would say I am trustworthy, responsible and reliable. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your furbabies (we can probably just call them children at this point, right) :) I am a very active person and enjoy walking, hiking and spending as much time outdoors as possible. My schedule is very flexible which would allow me work around yours! I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend!

About: I grew up with multiple pets, we often called it the "Cook Family Zoo". I've helped take care of many cats, dogs, turtles, fish and even ferrets at one point! I currently have two dogs a terrier/cattle dog mix and a German shepherd/lab mix puppy! They both are rescues and love to cuddle. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and am a proud foster fail. :) I’m passionate about protecting all furry friends and finding the perfect home for each loving animal. I love all animals, big or small, and do my best to be flexible and communicate with you quickly and thoroughly. I hope you will consider me to help take care of your loved ones and I will be sure to give them lots of love while you're away. Currently working full time but have availability on weekends and most evenings to help out! I also have flexibility at work so depending on your needs can make drop in visits and walks during the day. I work from home occasionally too so I can usually be flexible as needed. If visiting your home I would respect your wishes around routine training, diet and behavior. I typically provide photos and/or text updates of your pet so you know they’re doing well and we’ll looked after even when you’re not able to be there!

About: I’m the person people call when they need someone they can genuinely trust with their fur babies and their homes. I’ve cared for animals for 20 years and for the past 6 years I’ve built a loyal group of repeat clients right here in my community. I’m dependable, flexible with last-minute needs, and comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet gets my full attention. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for overnight stays, weekends, and holidays. I keep pets on their normal feeding, walk, and medication routines, and I send photo updates throughout the day so you always know how they're doing. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone in your home, so I always communicate clearly, follow your instructions, and treat your space with total respect.

About: As a child and young adult I grew up with a family dog and cat of my own. I know what the genuine bond and love feels like between an animal and their owner having experienced it myself. In addition, when I was younger I helped out on a family farm during the summers so I do have experience being around and working with different animals. I work as a teacher during the school calendar year but my schedule is completely free during our summer break. As such, I am mostly looking to provide pet care during the work week M-F but I am also willing to discuss weekend options if needed and if provided notice in advance. I can feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are away! I can also crate them if needed. If there are any other services you would like to discuss, I am open to hearing them.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life from frenchies to shelties. I’ve worked in a dog store for over a year. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away. On a weekly basis I have a flexible schedule that will allow for me drop by to check in and love on your babies. I work from home on most Wednesdays which allows me easy access to swing by. I will always make sure to give your pet lots of love and attention just like I would my own. Making sure to go the extra mile to let you know that I’m there to care in the ways you need!

About: What started off as a favor for a friend turned into a genuine love for all pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the guilt and sadness that comes with leaving your fur baby with a stranger, so it is my mission to make sure that the owner as well as the pet feel comfortable enough to put their trust in me. I am a student with a part time job. I have available time for any animal with any need. Evenings or even night walks are perfect. Boundaries are important, not only for the owner before the pet as well. That is always my top priority. As well as treating a pet as my own.

About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for) I work from home, so I can immediately take care of any and all needs. I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine. I will be sure to change my clothes and take off my shoes to avoid any anxiety from smells of my own pets.

About: I’ve taken care of, for one, my own dog since I was young and besides from that my neighbors, friends, and family always rely on me when they’re out of town to take care of their pets:) I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I’m currently enrolled at the University Of Louisville, and have some in person and also online classes so when I’m available could differ but I’m pretty flexible and I could bring my laptop anywhere! I love pets like they’re my own, I have a deep spot in my heart for them all🥹 I can crate any size dog if need be (I know some worry about that). More than happy to take them out wherever whenever, play/walk with them, or bathe them:)!

About: Hello! I've owned dogs since I was 5 and love being a dog owner. Having 3 dogs now I understand one of the difficult parts of owning them is figuring out their care while you're unavailable. This is where I come in! I have years of experience dealing with other people's dogs through teaching obedience classes and house sitting. With my own dogs, I've trained 3 dogs to compete in agility competitions and enjoy spending time with them. I'm available to walk and watch your dog most week nights and some weekends. I'm also available to house sit on the weekends. I am able to brush and bathe your dog if needed as well! I look forward to helping you and your dog with your pet care needs! I'm available most week nights and most weekends for house sitting, walks, and dog sitting in my home. Your pet will have regular potty breaks throughout the day regardless if it's a weekday or weekend! I have a tall fenced in yard with plenty of shade for those hot summer days. Living in Crescent Hills area, there's tons of walking areas nearby so your pet will get the exercise it needs!

“Monique has been our trusted dog sitter for a couple of months now and we intend to keep hiring her going forward! She is on time, never misses a booking, and is flexible with our crazy schedules. Her care for our young, crazy puppy has lifted a lot of stress off of my wife and I with our full-time jobs. We highly recommend Monique.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saint Joseph

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Joseph is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 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 1,109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Joseph. 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 Joseph. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
