About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 4 years, i have 2 dogs and 1 cat at my house so i’m very used to how they act, crazy or calm. I’m currently able to do full time for drop ins, walks and house sitting. I can do Mornings, afternoon and evening for your animals! I am also very flexible on weekends and can accept last minute bookings if needed. I leash my dogs when they go outside so i can do that with other dogs, i love to do tricks for treats with them and teach new tricks just for fun, i also love to take dogs on walks and make them feel comfortable with what they normally do on a daily basis.

Cannon did a great job watching the dogs and cat. The cat is skittish around new people but by day 3 she was out and lying in her spot with the dogs and Cannon. That showed me she was comfortable with Cannon. The pictures Cannon send showed the dogs being their normal selves. I would have Cannon watch my animals again.

Cassie is wonderful and was able to deal with all our big dog personalities including our very senile schnauzer who is in diapers and needs medication. She is super responsive and left the house spotless. Definitely recommend her to anyone for peace of mind when on trips.

Our experience with Jamie on the Rover application was nothing short of exceptional, earning them a well-deserved five-star rating! Jamie's dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for our dogs were evident from the moment we connected. Communication: Jamie's communication skills were top-notch from the outset. They were prompt in responding to messages and incredibly friendly and approachable. We received regular updates, complete with adorable photos and videos of our furry friend, which reassured us that our dog was in good hands. Care and Attention: Jamie provided our dog with the utmost care and attention, treating them as if they were their own. They took the time to understand our dog's unique personality and needs, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved throughout their stay. From leisurely walks to engaging playtime, our dog received the personalized care they deserved. Clean and Safe Environment: Jamie's home was a clean and safe haven for our dog. We were impressed by the level of cleanliness and organization, which reflected Jamie's commitment to providing a welcoming environment. Our dog had plenty of space to roam and explore, all while feeling secure and at ease. Reliability: Jamie's reliability was impeccable, instilling complete confidence in their ability to care for our dog. They were punctual for drop-off and pick-up, and they followed our instructions meticulously. We never had to worry about the well-being of our dog while in Jamie's care. In summary, Jamie exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Their passion for dogs shines through in everything they do, making them the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Jamie to anyone in need of exceptional pet care – they truly are a gem on Rover! Thank you, Jamie, for providing our dog with such a positive and enjoyable experience. We look forward to booking with you again in the future!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and ducks for family and friends when they needed someone. I’m very comfortable doing longer periods of time if needed, I love playing with animals on top of just the necessities! I’m currently working part-time and I’m able to schedule around certain times as needed. In the fall I start college again with plenty of break times! I prefer to stay where the animals are used to. I communicate constantly while I’m watching someone else animals by sending pictures, videos, and regular updates.

Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.

We were leaving our beloved 'children' in someone else's care for the first time so both our expectations and stress levels were very high. We arranged a meet and greet with Emily and as soon as we met her we knew she was a perfect match for our gang. She came bearing treats and immediately won over even our shy girl with her kindness, patience and yummies. Emily took the time to learn each pup's individual personality, eating habits, sleeping habits, playing habits etc. While on our short trip we received frequent updates and photos. She even created mini training sessions for our very vocal boy and showed us how to continue the training. Our pups thrived in her care. We could not be happier with her stay! Bug, Squatch and Gracie say Thank You Very Much Emily, for taking such good care of us!

Brittany is the best! This is the 2nd time I've used her when I travel abroad for over 2 weeks. All three of my dogs (all on multiple meds, 2 in diapers, 2 elderly, 1 special diet, 4x day need to go out) get all the care, attention, play and love they need. She communicates well without being intrusive, sends me pictures, and alerts me if anything is going on of concern with the house. It's difficult to put a price on the peace of mind I have when she is holding down the fort so I can enjoy my respite away. I will continue to use Brittany. I encourage you to book her for your next vacation.

About: From cuddly cats to energetic dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I plan my schedule with flexibility, making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so your pets never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, I’m committed to being reliable and present when your pets need it most. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule—feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or yard cleanup, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, secure, and following any specific instructions you leave. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will receive close supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I keep routines as consistent as possible to help them feel at ease, and I’m attentive to any special needs, diets, or behaviors. No matter the setting, my goal is to make your pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

This is the second time that Bailey has watched our dog, and we love her! She really cares about him, and that means so much to us. She always sends pictures of him and follows our instructions perfectly, and we can tell that he really enjoys her company. We’re happy to have her as a pet-sitter for our boy!

About: At a young age of 5, I grew up loving and caring for a German Shepherd. Now, I have 3 dogs of my own. Outside of my dogs at home, I work at a Doggy Daycare. I am responsible for feeding, loving, entertaining, and sometimes bathing dogs. I am currently working part-time at a Doggy Daycare will being a student at Ohio State. I am able to take care of the dogs in my time between both. If your dog is able, I can also take them to work with me. At my home, two of my three dogs are able to go out in the yard unleashed, the other on a lead. For your dogs, I am able to walk them daily if needed, I can also crate them if necessary. I can do anything needed for your dog to be happy.

I can drop by for visits as well I do not offer care in my home but will stay in your home and be clean and tidy and send as many videos and pictures as you request.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Louisville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Louisville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 766 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Louisville. 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 Louisville 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 Louisville 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 Louisville 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 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.

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

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
