“Cathryn was awesome! She took care of our fur babies like if they were her own. We have some needy fur babies with a few medical issues, but she made sure that they took their medication and were cared for!! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sent tons of pictures and she took care of our home. We had some trouble with our return flights and she was very flexible and willing to stay an extra night to ensure that our pups were taken care of. We would totally recommend her and we are definitely booking her again!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Ellie, since I was 9 years old, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Along with raising Ellie, I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing outside, or just getting lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. Outside of class, I have availability for walks, drop in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dogs. I will always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide a safe, calm, and caring environment.
About: I have had 6 years of experience as a vet technician and 10 years of experience with pet sitting. I have always had a close bond with animals throughout my life. I am comfortable with administering medications and any special instructions a pet may need during my time sitting. I love sending updates throughout my visit if the parent would like to receive them. Currently, I am a dental hygiene student, which entails attending classes from the morning until late afternoon on weekdays. I typically dedicate my time to studying both weekdays and weekends, ensuring ample opportunities to spend time with your fur baby/babies I’m great at following instructions and making sure everything is done carefully during my visit. I always respect people’s space and privacy when I’m in their home. I’m also a very tidy person and will tidy up or clean anything I use or touch.

About: I've grown up around animals. Ive wanted a cat since I knew they existed, and since getting my first cat, I've taught him to sit, sit pretty, high five, and jump through hoops. Currently fostering a second with a compromised immune system, so I am no stranger to anxious pets, or pets with a complex care system. I work a part time job and have classes from 8-12 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ive got my own cats, so ill spend at least hour and a half or so each day spending time with them and doing chores at home, anything else is free time to spend with your pet. Ive got lots of energy to play with your dog and love to cuddle. I can keep a steady schedule with food, bathroom, play, etc. Also able and willing to do grooming like tooth brushing, baths, and other procedures.
About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m extremely passionate about their care, health, and overall well-being. I also have hands-on experience with professional dog grooming, including bathing, blow-drying, brushing, dematting, scissoring, and shaving. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, great at following detailed instructions, and prioritize clear communication with every owner. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I feed a group of 14 animals everyday for a older couple that can no longer do it themselves (or no longer prefers to lol) and that takes 2-3 hours of my evening leaving my basically fully available to fit in additional pet care all throughout the day. I am very passionate about adequate pet care. believe when it comes to caring for pets that trust is the foundation for it all. So when caring for a pet I believing following introductions and routines exactly, this helps the pet adjust and trust me a lot faster as they know I know their routine. My typical day with my dogs consists of waking up and going outside and just hanging out for a little, then I will give them breakfast and give them fresh water, after they are finished eating I clean their food bowl as well, and to end our morning routine I finish with a walk. Our afternoons usually consist of be doing any tasks or errands and when I’m home we will play with toys and hangout on the couch. The evenings usually is the same routine as the morning.
“Kacy is amazing! She followed all our lengthy directions to a T. She kept us well informed about how our girl was doing. She made sure that our girl had multiple walks a day. She kept a perfect schedule. Our home was perfectly clean. Would highly recommend!”
“Emily was an absolutely exceptional dog sitter for our Frank. From start to finish, her communication with us was outstanding—she kept us consistently updated and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond by sending plenty of pictures of Frank, which we truly appreciated and looked forward to. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. On top of that, we came home to a clean and well-kept house, which was such a thoughtful touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion for Frank and would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!”
About: I have worked with dogs for quite a while now, started off as a boarding attendant at kennelwood, then managed some group play at dogtopia. I do now work full time at a spa. But, I am looking forward to taking care of your pet rather that’s dog-walking, pet sitting! I do know how to administer medication, and care for senior pets! Questions? book with me today. This is a part-time thing for me. I work full time at a veterinary clinic! This is more of a monthly thing for me. I care for pets in clients home, same with drop-in’s and walks. I stay in contact with clients via text/call. I always provide pictures during the stay.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. From tiny puppies to big adventure buddies, I’ve always been the one in charge of walking them, caring for them, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Since I was young, I’ve helped care for family and friends’ dogs, and I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience with puppies along the way. I truly love dogs, and I’d be excited to give yours the same attention and care I give my own! I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday, and I’m usually done by 12 PM, which means I have lots of free time to spend with your pets! 🐾My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and making sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention. Outside of work, I love spending time with animals, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Whether your pup needs a midday adventure, some company while you’re away, or just someone to spoil them with belly rubs and treats, I’m happy to help! 🐶🐱💛 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 Since I live in an apartment, I’ll be providing care in your home and taking your pets on walks rather than bringing them to my place. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet stays in a safe and comfortable environment. For walks, I’ll always keep your pet’s safety in mind by using their leash properly, paying attention to our surroundings, and following any special instructions you provide. I also want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, so I’ll take the time to build trust, give them plenty of attention, and make their time with me as happy and stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱💛
“Great experience! Ryan was very kind, professional, and took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was so nice to leave our dog in her own home for the weekend, knowing she was in his care. House looked great and we will definitely be utilizing him again!”
“They are so reliable and I feel reassured when they’re staying at our house with our two dogs. Great communication and leave the house in great shape and pups well loved. Thank you!”
“We had a great experience with our sitter, Taylor! She took wonderful care of our dog and was also flexible enough to watch our cats, which we really appreciated. When our travel plans changed and we came home earlier than expected, she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for while we were away. We truly appreciate her flexibility and kindness, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Taylor!”

So happy to have Melissa watch Asher today. When she is watching Asher I have no worries he is being taken care of like I would care for him. I get random, cute, pictures and I can see he is having so much fun! When I leave instructions for Melissa, she follows them explicitly. Hire Melissa to watch your fur baby. You wine disappointed!
Charity is a gem we're lucky to have found. She is prompt, attentive, consistently gives feedback, and allows us to relax when traveling, knowing our dogs are safe and cared for in their own home. She managed a complex feeding situation (one dog recovering from a gastrointestinal issue) flawlessly. Our dogs loved her and we returned home to happy, well cared for pets, and everything as it should be. Charity is an outstanding asset a prospective client would be wise to select!!
We had a wonderful experience with KP and Sam during their 5-day stay in our home. They took great care of our dogs, kept us updated, and left the house clean and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and comfortable while we were away. We would absolutely recommend them and would gladly use them again!
Jamie did a great job with my two dogs! One of the two, I had only rescued a month ago and he’s a little timid around strangers but, he relaxed right away with Jamie. My other dog is turning 16 this year and needs a little more TLC. Both dogs were relaxed and happy when I got back. Will definitely hire Jamie again.
Heather was AMAZING!!! Even when an unexpected snowstorm hit she pivoted to make sure my pets had everything they needed AND adjusted my rate accordingly. My house was exactly as I left it and my pets didn’t miss a beat, even the cat who usually takes a minute to warm up to people.

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 Peters 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 Peters 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 Peters 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.
