“Melanie did a great job taking care of my kitty when I was away. My kitty had some vomiting issues before my trip and I had to change the frequency of visit last minute. She was able to accommodate the request no issues. She also made sure to let me know my kitty didn’t vomit in every visit summary. She did everything as I requested.”
About: I have owned and fostered dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, small, medium and large dogs. I have a great time interacting with and entertaining fur babies! I am currently on summer break from school, so most weeks my schedule is pretty open for the summer. I am typically available weekend and week days. I have experience walking small, medium, and large dogs. I have handled high and low energy dogs and cats. I walk my own dogs daily and have cared for high energy pups in the neighborhood.
“We had a last minute need for a sitter for our two cats and Heather was graciously available to come check in on them twice a day. She was wonderful with them, kept us well informed of what our kitties were up to each day and how they were eating. She even sent us daily photos which our kids loved since they missed their cats so much. We will definitely be requesting Heather for all our cat sitting needs in the future!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter and it couldn’t have gone any better. Danny and Jennifer were wonderful! They’re very communicative and let me know exactly what was going on with my older dog and sent lots of pictures. It really set my mind at ease knowing she was being so well cared for. 10/10 would highly recommend them.”
“Many thanks to Michael and Beth for helping to take care of my medically complicated cat while I was on vacation. He was fat and happy when I returned. He also looked super happy to see Michael on the cat camera.”
About: Hello! I am 19 years old and currently attend college. I have many years of pet care experience of various different animals since I was in elementary school. I enjoy hanging out and taking care of pets more than anything and I’d love to make sure your animals get genuine care that leaves them with the ability to live a long, happy, and healthy life! When I am home from college during spring break, summer, and winter break, my schedule is moderately flexible. I am able to fit in pet care whenever and have plenty of time to play with and take care of my cats and dogs every day. When I am at your home I will make sure it is a safe environment for the animals and that there is nothing they can be harmed by. I love going on walks at any time of the day as well as playing with the dogs or cats with toys, we can even work on some simple training together! Your pet will be safe, comfortable, happy, and healthy when they are in my care. :)
“Allison did fantastic caring for my pup while gone for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and made sure to give my pup lots of treats! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Lauryn has been great to work with and she shows a genuine love for my sons Mini Ausie Shepherd. We will continue to utilized Lauryn through March. I very highly recommend her”
“Bennett was so great with our two "high energy", playful, cuddly cats! It was clear how much he genuinely enjoyed spending time with them as if they were his own. Was so happy to have found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Thank you for checking on our old girl. She was glad for the midday break and to be spared the holiday noise of extended family, new puppies and little kids. We loved the photos and we appreciate you giving Mae her pills.”
“Katie took wonderful care of our two dogs, making sure they had ample breaks during the day, sticking to their schedule and going above and beyond to make sure the pups were comfortable while we were gone. A+ all around, thank you Katie!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sappington
Nicole did a fabulous dog with our 2 pugs. She is meticulous and shows up on time, every time. Our one pug can be very finicky and does not like to walk. But Nicole is patient and gentle. She always follows my instructions. The dogs love her. I would highly recommend her. She did drop in visits to let the dogs out of their crates, when I was gone from home 8 hours. She also sat outside, under their favorite tree, and let them observe their world.
This was my first time using Rover to have someone check on my dogs. I was a bit nervous of how it would go since my dogs get scared easily of new people, but Karen was very patient and attentive with them and overall did a fantastic job! She provided updates during each of the check ins and bonded with the dogs as the days went by. I would 100% recommend Karen as a dog sitter and if I need someone to watch my dogs again using Rover, Karen would be my first choice!
Rachelle helped take care of my 4 pets (2 cats, 2 dogs) almost daily for the past couple of months while I was at work. The pets all love her so much. She kept me updated about any abnormalities with my pets (scared of thunder, not wanting to eat, etc.) which was very helpful & kind of her to do. I will be a repeat client forever!
Anne was absolutely wonderful with our four month old puppy. He loves meeting new people, but is still very energetic (and teething). She was very patient with him and added in lots of playtime to tire him out. We will be highly recommending her to friends and family in the area!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Christi on Rover! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands. Christi went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she treated our dogs with genuine kindness and affection, making sure they were not only well cared for, but also loved. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and that made all the difference for us. We’re incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate to look after their pets!
E was fantastic in taking care of my high maintenance pup! She was friendly, communicative, punctual, diligent, and followed the exact care instructions provided. My dog is a high flight risk and my booking was somewhat last minute, but none of that was an issue and she was professional throughout. I will definitely be booking her next time I need a drop-in or pet sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sappington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Sappington 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sappington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
