About: I have lived my whole life with dogs and I am currently a Dog Mom of 1. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, including a summer job at a local dog + owner fitness facility and volunteering at stray rescue in STL. My pet is also a rescue, so I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra care and comfort. My main focus is to show your pet some extra love while they are patiently waiting for you to return, and to help you as a dog parent feel at peace, knowing your dog is being well taken care of. I am currently available all day and all weekdays as I do not have a full-time job that conflicts with my availability. I can also do weekends when advance notice is given. It is important to me that I get to know both you and your pet! I want everyone to feel safe and sound during appointments. For first-time customers: I am available for phone or video calls prior to the booking date, as well as in person meet and greets (when scheduled in advance). Afterwards, we can discuss communication preferences during visits and, if requesting regular care, what days/times you would like to book in the future.
About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve shared my life with my beloved dog (Bruno) since he was just 2 months old, and he is now 14 years old. Bruno has always been a challenge and huge motivation for me, as he can be anxious and reactive due to early experiences in his life; also a cocker Spaniel’s thing that can manifest within the breed. Growing alongside him has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, understanding, and adapting care to a dog’s changing needs throughout life. As a psychotherapist, I bring a calm, observant, and compassionate approach to caregiving. I also hold an international certificate in K9 puppy raising and training, which has deepened my knowledge of canine development and training. Fun fact! Im interested in Animal Assisted Therapy and that’s my next professional goal. I love spending time outdoors and exploring nature, and I enjoy making walks and playtime safe, enriching, and fun. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a beloved senior, my goal is to help every dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I understand that your dog is family, and I will treat them with the same care, respect, and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the day. I can plan walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their usual feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest schedules. I also have flexibility to provide companionship and regular updates while their families are away. My schedule allows me to be intentional about the time I dedicate to each pet, ensuring they receive attentive, loving care without feeling rushed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. Since I share my life with a senior dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to maintain routines, respect each pet’s individual needs, and provide a calm, safe environment. Specially with anxious and/or reactive dogs. For walks: I use secure leash handling, follow your preferred routes and instructions, and pay attention to your dog’s behavior and surroundings. I always prioritize safety over distance or pace. For drop-in visits: I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any other agreed-upon needs. I make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. For overnight stays: I respect your home and your pet’s familiar routines, providing companionship, supervision, and a consistent schedule to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Working from home gives me flexibility to coordinate visits and provide attentive care. I communicate with pet parents through messages and photos, and I follow their instructions regarding emergencies, veterinary care, and household rules. Before every booking, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, health needs, and any fears or triggers. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring, responsible hands.

About: I have taken care of 10+ dogs that stayed in my home. I like to take them on walks and give them the attention they love they need! I am a college student who only has class three days a week. I like to go on walks and exercise. I do homework in my apartment for the most part. I have all the free time in the world and would love to take care of your pets for mutual companionship! I do not have a yard in my home but I have beautiful trails and green spaces where I would walk or run with your pup! I have a living room where the dog would be fed. In a clients home I would feed pets in the designated feeding area and would take them outside and spend time with them!
“Kailey is AMAZING. She is so response, did everything as I asked for my pup, and was very reliable. This is the second time I am asking her to watch my dog in my home and I will continue to ask her if possible! She is great and I highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to have their dog watched. Very pleased!!!”

“Bridget did a great job house sitting and taking care of our pups! She sent pics every day or two so we could see the pups and she went the extra mile picking up the yard from the dogs, checking the mail and cleaning up some before she left. Thank you and awesome job.”

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.
“I could tell Alex and Cristina played with Sully a lot. I think Sully was tired when I got home! I appreciate the affection they showed Sully while I was there. My house was undisturbed. Thank you so much!”

“Kristen is the best! She takes great care of our girl! She loves her! Kristin gives great updates and sends pics throughout! I never worry about my pup when Kristin is here. She’s a great sitter!!❤️”


“Maria did a great job taking care of Charlie. She also made sure the house was exactly like we left it. The only glitch was a problem with her schedule that delayed her initial arrival. I would definitely use Maria again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Peters
I cannot recommend Charity enough! She provided a full week of in-home care for my two senior American Eskimo dogs, and it was a fantastic experience. It is always nerve-wracking leaving older dogs behind, but they were in the best possible hands. From managing their routines to giving them the extra patience and affection they need, everything was handled perfectly. It gave me total peace of mind knowing they were comfortable in their own home and well looked after. I will definitely be booking with Charity again!

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!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Peters is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $79 per night. 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 1,540 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Peters. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Peters. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
