“Tonia was a fantastic house sitter! She communicated regularly, stuck to the schedule she set, and was overall a joy to work with. Our family will definitely hire Tonia again!”
“Nadia did an excellent job watching my dogs, Winston and Georgia! I appreciated all of the communication and photos from her just keeping me updated on my dogs as I don’t leave them very often. Everything went really well and I would absolutely book with her again. She even drew a portrait of my dogs that I’m going to have framed! Thank you, again for all that you did!!”
“Greta watched our 2 large dogs for a long weekend in our home. She checked in with us daily and sent us lots of photos. We could tell our dogs were having fun and enjoyed her company. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Cristin was AMAZING! She was so helpful and understanding when our flights got canceled, even adjusting her own schedule, to make sure our babies were taken care of. She was awesome with our guys and I know they were in great hands. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Madeline was amazing!! I couldn’t have recommended someone better to watch our guys, she’s a great communicator and sends pictures very regularly. Our dog has bad separation anxiety and nervous around strangers and she handled him wonderfully, would highly recommend Madeline!!”
“Ella was great! The girls were well cared for, we received pictures and communication, and she left our home in good condition. If she will have us, we will definitely hire her again!”
“Charity was amazing! She stepped in and helped us when we needed someone to come and take care of our dogs last minute. She showed care for our home, make sure the dogs were cleaned up a little bit after having a muddy time outside, and just show them love and care while taking care of them! We will definitely be using charity again !”
“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”
“Rachel was amazing. She was very accommodating and communicative. She treated our pets like her very own and she is definitely a dog lover. We will definitely hire her again. Thank you Rachel!!”
“Nicole did a great job with my elderly dog! She sent many photos and gave us updates everyday. She even washed the sheets on her bed before she left! I would recommend her for sure!”
“AMAZING!!! Jenni literally loved him like we do. We couldn't have found a better house/dog sitter. Thank you for all the communication and pictures and videos while we were gone. Truly one of the best we've ever had! Thank you again 💓”
“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of my pup while I was away on business. Having an older dog requires extra feeding instructions, along with medications, and it all went smoothly. Definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter sometime soon!”
“Cathryn did a great job with my two pups. The apartment was just as clean as it was when I left it to get and the dogs seemed to adjust just fine with no temperament issues after. She kept in contact and followed med/feeding/walking directions; even sent pics. I would definitely book again.”
“Jasmine has and continues to be a wonderful and reliable sitter. She connects wonderfully with our pets and we feel so at ease knowing she is there to care of everyone. Outstanding experience!”
“Tara was Great!!! She watched our Newfoundland and our daughter's deaf and blind aussiedoodle. She kept us updated and of course with lots of pictures. When we got home we could tell they were well taken care of.”
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.
“We are very happy with the care our dogs received. Kayla is reliable and great with communication. We have already booked for future stays! I would absolutely recommend. Thank you Kayla!”
About: Hi👋 I'm Jill. I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs & cats. I currently have two cats of my own. They were both strays and came into my life at different times. I love interacting with all types of animals. Since I can't have a dog of my own yet due to living situations, I would love to take care of yours! My sister and brother in-law have two dogs that I watch when they go out of town. One is a bigger 70 lbs Australian Shepard and the other is a smaller 10 lbs toy poodle. I hope to bring peace of mind to you and happiness & excitement to your pets. I work full time, but am available anytime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays most weeks. 6 a.m. is the earliest I'm available and 10:30 p.m. is the latest. Availability breakdown: Sundays- Before 11 a.m. after 5:30 p.m. Mondays- After 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Wednesdays- After 3:30 p.m. Thursdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Fridays- Before 8:45 a.m. after 7:30 p.m. Saturdays- 6 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. (Anytime) My two cats are grazers so they get fed twice a day and eat when they get hungry. They have a water fountain that circulates the water to mimick a stream. They seem to enjoy moving water better than still standing in a bowl. When I watch my sister & brother in-laws dogs I take them for walks twice a day and we play & cuddle. I work on tricks with them too. I normally use their dry food as treats if we work on tricks for a while.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Peters
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!!
Ruth did a fantastic job house sitting with our two dogs. She communicated regularly through the weekend and shared lots of photos. Additionally, all instructions we left were followed to a T, she did a wonderful job managing our high energy pets, and our home was left in perfect condition. Without a doubt, we will be booking Ruth for house sitting again!
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.
Marissa was great! She is such a nice person, and I was able to enjoy my time out of town even more, knowing that my dogs were happy in our home. She sent pictures of our dogs each day, and when we arrived home, she had put a cute autumn scene on our tv to greet us.😊

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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.
