About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have three dogs of my own—a 10-year-old Husky, a 4-year-old Malamute, and a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. Caring for three large dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs has given me plenty of hands-on experience with walking, exercise, feeding, routines, and lots of attention. I’m especially comfortable handling larger, energetic breeds and understand that every dog has their own personality and pace. Whether your dog loves a long walk or just needs some fresh air and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Since I care for three dogs of my own every day, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m also happy to work with your dog’s normal schedule whenever possible. I’m a stay-at-home dad, proud dog dad to three wonderful dogs, and a lifelong animal lover! My Husky, Malamute, and Golden Retriever are a huge part of my family, and caring for them has taught me just how much love, patience, and attention every dog deserves. Being a stay-at-home dad has given me the opportunity to spend more time doing what I love, and I’m excited to make Rover a part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, getting outside for walks, and making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. With three large dogs of my own, I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, especially strong, energetic breeds. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll always take the time to get to know your dog, follow your instructions, and make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member!

“McKenna was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pups home for the weekend and having someone come house sit. McKenna helped put my mind at ease when we did the meet and greet. One of my pups left an unexpected surprise (my pup threw a tantrum and destroyed a furniture) for McKenna and she was so nice and cleaned it up for me. I came home to happy pups and I would recommend her. I’d have her back!”

About: I've been looking after dogs, primarily small ones, for quite a long time now. Have had to feed and walk and watch over them plenty of times over the years for family members. Currently unemployed, so my schedule is quite free, which includes all reasonable hours of the day. Currently unable to watch over animals at my place of living. I personally care for my own cat and one of my mother's dogs on the daily, but the house itself isn't fit for me to watch over any additional animals.

Willow hads allergy-related paw issues and she addressed them as instructed and also noted how it progressed or lessened. Both our girls loved her and we'd have her back in a heartbeat. She watched them in our home, and the house was tidy and well cared for. Thank you, Erin!”

“I adopted my 2 rescues 8 months ago and have not left them for more than 4 hours. They are anxious, reactive, and require a lot of activity and care. Because of a business trip, I needed in home care for them. Bill stepped in and calmly did the job. He sent many pictures of them playing. My dogs were calm and happy, and were sad to see him leave. This gives me great peace of mind knowing we will have someone we trust providing our sweet pups great care.”

About: I've spent years helping care for many animals. As a child I helped care for our family dog until we got another, then another, then another. By the time I was a teen I was helping my family out on our property to care for our three dogs, our many cats, our chickens, ducks, goats and Llama. I also had neighbors whose home I would frequently visit to help feed and care for their goats. I believe in animal rights. When I am working for you, I am not only here to make money but to apply my knowledge and the knowledge you share with me to serve the well being and needs of your furry friend. I will always stay focused and attentive on showing your pet the love, attention and respect that they deserve :) At the moment I make money through gigs and seasonal jobs. I love to live every day and every week doing something new with as much freedom as I can afford. My schedule is very open giving me lots of time for weekend and weekday bookings. I can do anything asked of me. If I haven't done something before it will not be difficult for me to learn if instructed. I love animals. I love working with them, caring for them and helping them and their owners feel comfortable and happy with the services I provide. I can feed them, take them on walks, play with them, let them rest, crate them when asked or necessary, give them meds. Anything you need.

About: I bring over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience across long-term house sitting, international shelter work, and specialized medical care. My background includes a 6-month, full-time house sit caring for three dogs and two cats, where I managed strict health regimens—including administering medications every 2 hours at precise times for a dog with a neurological seizure disorder, treating skin conditions and wounds, and managing flea care. I am trained in emergency response and comfortable handling complex medical schedules. Additionally, I volunteered for a year at a shelter in India caring for 60+ dogs, providing physical therapy to paralyzed dogs, assistance with vaccinations, behavioral training, and custom dietary meal prep. Locally, I volunteered at Multnomah County Animal Services, completing intensive training in medication administration and enrichment. I'm certified in Pet First Aid through American Red Cross. Through TrustedHousesitters and caring for friends' pets, I regularly handle multi-week stays for both dogs and cats, ensuring consistent routines, high-level medical attentiveness, and dedicated care. As a freelancer with a fully flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the dedicated attention they deserve. I am available for long-term house sitting, weekend stays, and drop-in visits or walks any day between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. I prioritize safe, precise, and low-stress care above all else. Certified in American Red Cross Pet First Aid, I am fully equipped to administer oral and topical medications, handle intensive wound care, and maintain extensive care schedules. Because I specialize in caring for anxious cats and special needs pets, I maintain a calm, quiet, and secure environment tailored to your pet's specific routine and comfort level.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Louis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,884 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Louis. 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 Louis 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 Louis 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 Louis 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 , 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 .

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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Louis. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
