“Emilee watched Ferguson for me again while I was traveling internationally, and once again she knocked it out of the park. It's such a relief having someone you can fully trust with both your dog and your home. Knowing I'd come back to Ferg happy and my place exactly as I left it made the whole trip so much more enjoyable. She's my go-to and I can't recommend her enough.”
“Definitely recommend Laura for your pet sitting needs. Very communicative with updates and photos during a recent booking. Always felt that my dogs (and cat) were in great hands while I was away. They may have even been a little sad to see me walking through the door instead of her.”
About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I’ve been the go-to pet caretaker for family members since I was nine. Whether it was for relatives traveling out of town or my own beloved dogs, I’ve handled a variety of breeds and temperaments with the utmost care and dedication. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in experienced, loving hands. My daily routine revolves around my pup. Each morning starts with a walk before I head to school for a few hours. When I get back, we enjoy some quality time, and I make sure my dog is fed and happy. Even when I work the night shift, I have a trusted friend who comes by to take care of my dog. At night, my dog is right by my side, sleeping in the bed with me until the next morning. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention I give my own. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every dog in my care. Whether your dog prefers to be in or out of the crate, I ensure they are comfortable and secure. You can trust that I maintain a vigilant and caring watch over all the dogs I look after.
“Zach was amazing! He was incredibly flexible and accommodating as my departure and arrival plans changed. He also sent me pictures of my two boys every day, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. My dog can be a handful since he’s large and has a lot of energy, but Zach handled him with ease, and there didn’t seem to be any issues at all. When I got home, my apartment was very clean, and most importantly, my boys were happy and well cared for. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to care for their pets!”
“Kristin did a great job taking care of our pups! One of our dogs is paralyzed and Kristin made an effort to learn how to care for her and make me feel comfortable. She had good communication during her stay with my dogs.”
“Lara was responsive and very helpful. She watched our sometimes stubborn puppy all day and did great! She texted photos throughout the day, and when we came home our puppy was happy and snoozing peacefully.”
“Brittany took great care of the pups while I was out of town! She was super nice and responded to messages quickly, both before and during the pet sitting. She also left the house really clean and sent some great pictures of the dogs throughout the week!”
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in high school, and have experience with a wide variety of dogs and cats. I am a lifelong "dog mom" and have fostered 55+ dogs and puppies over the past few years, and I know just how important it is to be certain that your pet is cared for just as you care for them! I am able to accommodate your varied schedule based on what's best for you and your pet. I'm available for ongoing or occasional services for your pet. I have a fenced-in yard, and fully supervise any pets in my care at all times. I strive to maintain a pet’s usual routine when at my home.
“Brianna was great with both of dogs! I got daily updates and pics that made me feel so comfortable being away from the dogs. She also took great care of the house. We will for sure be using her again!”
“Katie did an amazing job taking care of our dog and two cats during our 12 day trip out of the country on a family vacation. We were so nervous about leaving them, especially after our previous sitter wasn’t available. But Katie was so sweet, responsible, and loving to them while we were gone. She was incredibly responsive and sent us a lot of pictures which really put us at ease, knowing they were in good hands with Katie! We are SO happy we found her and will definitely use her services again. ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 6 years including my own dogs. I have walked, fed, medicated and cared for all size dogs! From big sweet Argentinian Dogos to small and fiery Chihuahuas. My own Frenchie is epileptic and has severe allergic reactions which has given me experience with sick pets. I am always on watch and careful when on walks! I will care for your pet like one of my own. I currently work 3 days a week as a registered nurse! I have my other 4 days off to care for your pet. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate last minute bookings as well. I am able to provide loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home! I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and plenty of affection. I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also treat every client’s home with respect, keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos!
“Caitlin did a wonderful job with our kitties. We just moved to the area so it's always nerve racking finding someone new to watch your pets. She put us at ease immediately, sent plenty of pics, and our cats warmed up to her quickly. We will definitely be using Caitlin again!”
“Karah was great! This was a last-minute trip, and I was concerned about leaving the pup behind with a new person, but she made me feel comfortable immediately. She came the same day for a meet and greet, and I knew her and Oslo would get along swimmingly. She kept me up-to-date with his walks and how he was doing, and I believe her being at my home really helped him take to her quickly. I will definitely use Karah again, and if you are looking for a sitter, I'd recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’m a life time dog owner, lover and rescuer. I have experience with all animals from puppies to senior dogs. Big or small I love them all! I’m an expert at senior care, maintaining routines, administering medicine and giving all the attention and belly rubs. With more active dogs I enjoy being able to take them on longer walks and explore new areas to keep them interested in the work around. I’m a full time college student, I am 3/4 remote learning on my lap-top so I have open availability all days except for class t/th 9am-12pm. I am comfortable with over nights and can handle long term stays. With dog walking and check ins I am extremely flexible to everyone’s schedule I follow any instructions provided first when caring for anyone’s dogs. As a routine I change to fresh water immediately when stopping in or first thing in the morning and following the feeding routine. I want to try to make the dog as comfortable as possible and then get into moving around and getting physical activity for the day!
“Phoebe was great! She did 4 days of pup-sitting/housesitting and I would definitely highly recommend. She was communicative and took great care of my snuggly pitty and my home. I received timely updates and photos throughout the week. I came back to everything being cleaned and in perfect order. Definitely will hire her again! Thank you Phoebe!”
“Ayana is terrific! We had a kind of crazy last min need and she was fab. Our pup and our home were so well cared for. She even sent tons of pics to share with our kiddos who were very much missing their pup. 10/10!”

The best experience ever! Zach was responsive and went above and beyond with our older pups who need a lot of specialized care and multiple medications. He was truly a great professional and we had absolutely no concerns and really enjoyed our vacation care free which is rare. Highly recommend him to any discerning pet owners. Zach is the best.
Rebecca was terrific. One of my two dogs can be pretty challenging, and Rebecca was able to find a routine that worked for both her and the dogs. She was calm and professional and kept me very fully informed about the dogs while we were away. She also stepped up at the last minute, after the scheduled sitter had an emergency. I greatly appreciated all of her efforts to take care of my doggies. I highly recommend her.
Maureen was amazing! My dog Busy loved her and was treated so well. Maureen was awesome with communication and sent a ton of great pictures. She also took great care of my house and everything was at least as clean as when i left. definitely highly recommended for in-home pet sitting and any other pet care you need. eleventy stars!
Wow Kellin was amazing. She came to meet everyone when we booked and then again a few days before our trip. She got our dog to take her medicine so well and kept us updated as our dog was having a bit of an arthritis flare. We also got a 24 hour + flight delay and Kellin was willing to last minute stay an extra night which gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely use and recommend her again!
Here's a warm, genuine review you could post: Hannah took such wonderful care of our dogs, Bowie and Django, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands while we were away. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly treated our dogs with genuine kindness and attention. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and that's the best feeling as pet owners. We're incredibly grateful for Hannah and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sauget is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 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 1,575 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sauget. 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 Sauget 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 Sauget 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 Sauget 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 Sauget. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
