About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I started just walking dogs, and then progressed to watching family/friends dogs while they were on weekend trips/ vacations once I was able to drive. On top of watching other peoples animals, I’ve always had animals of my own, so I’ve been around Dogs/Cats my whole life. I am due in November, and I won’t be working once I have my baby. My schedule is completely open and my Dog is looking for a friend to have a sleepover 🩵 I have 3 acres and lots of room for dogs to run around and play! My dog gets along with any kind of dog, so your fur baby will have a friend the whole time! If you would like your dog crated, I can do that as well.
“Julie was so kind and communicated wonderfully! She went above and beyond when an unexpected issue arose with our front door, staying until it was resolved rather than leaving the house unsecured. She also gave our cat, Milah, lots of attention and sent detailed daily updates with sweet photos. Milah was so happy when we returned, and it was clear she had been very well cared for. We will definitely have Julie care for Milah in the future when needed!”
About: I’ve cared for pets and homes across the U.S. and internationally with TrustedHousesittersdotcom—including month-long house and pet sitting stays in Thailand, Ireland, and England. As the founder of HomestewardZdotcom, I bring the same thoughtful, trustworthy care to animals as I do to homes and gardens. I’m also accustomed to working with special needs cats and dogs, including those with behavioral or medical requirements. I genuinely love animals and treat them like family, offering calm, attentive companionship and reliable routines. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or more exotic pets or horses, I ensure they feel safe, seen, and loved while you’re away. As the owner of HomestewardZ, where I offer handyman work, interior painting, and house/pet sitting, I have complete flexibility in my schedule. This means I can be fully available to care for your pets whenever they need attention—whether that’s daily walks, medication, or just quality time. Pet care isn’t a side gig for me—it’s part of a meaningful lifestyle rooted in trust, presence, and care. I care for pets exclusively in my clients’ homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize safety, consistency, and trust—following your routines closely, keeping the environment clean and calm, and giving your pets the attention and affection they need to thrive while you’re away. I treat every home with deep respect and every animal like a member of the family.
“Ruth was very professional and did the job well. She fed my pet, cleaned out the litter and also generously offered to water the plants while she was there. Highly recommend and will book again.”
About: I've administered diabetic medication and pills for years and am very comfortable doing so. I work well with high needs pets, especially those older in age and disabled. I can walk both cats and dogs at their pace and am committed to their cognitive enrichment with toys and games and also to their comfort with gentle words and cuddles. I work part time: Monday-Thursday evenings and Saturday morning-afternoon. My pet care schedule is super open as I am a very laid back person who usually prefers to stay in. Mon-Thur I can be around from early morning until 3, on Saturday I'm available by 4, and I am totally free for the day and night on Friday and Sunday. I always safety check harness and leash before opening the door and I'm extremely careful to keep all exits secured. As someone with a sneaky cat, I know how it is. I'm aware of harmful human foods and products and always keep my things stored away safely.
“Kayla was wonderful and took great care of our two girls. We were pretty apprehensive about leaving them since one was a 5-month old puppy with an overabundance of energy. Kayla showed them lots of TLC and kept them happy. Even now that we are home, they keep looking at the front door like they are waiting for her to come over and play. She reported on them to us regularly which greatly reduced OUR stress and anxiety.”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
“Taylor took great care of our 2 kitties while we were away! Knowing someone is looking after them when we are not here was a huge stress reliever... Even if they just hide the whole time 😊”
About: Hello! My name is Kate and I have been caring for animals for 20+ years, or as long as I can remember! My family has always referred to me as the "dog whisperer" due to my natural connection to them. I have experience with every age group, from young pups to our dear senior citizens. Friends and family have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they're away, walk them, feed them, bathe them, or give them medication. I look forward to helping to care for your family member, and making sure they have the best experience possible. I am available 7 days a week and my schedule is flexible! Let me know what works best for you, and I can work around yours and your animals needs. I am extremely attentive to the needs of your animal and will always make sure that they receive whatever level care or attention that they will need.
About: I have had dogs in my house all my life! My family runs a dog grooming store, handling as many as 100-130 clients a week. I have worked in the retail and food service for the last 5 years and have great professional skills and patience. Give your pooch a chance with me and they’ll feel exceptionally loved and tended to! My only other job is Uber Eats, so I am completely flexible! Let me know what times work for you. I am completely open all 7 days of the week and am willing to spend the night! Whether you want your dog tended to part time or full time, I’m here for it! A dog must feel safe in order to feel at home. It is my duty and goal to ensure the safety of your dog. When introducing myself, I will get down on my knees and open my hands for him or her to sniff. From there on, I strive to be as loyal and loving as your dog is!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, I have had dogs of all sizes, personalities and traits! I will love your pets like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pups!

About: Hello everyone! I’ve been a pet sitter for as long as I can remember — starting with family friends, then growing through referrals, and even including my college dean. In high school I volunteered regularly at 5 Acres Animal Shelter, where I cared for cats in the Kitty Cottage and helped socialize dogs by taking them on outings and to special events. Fun fact: my college dean and their wife found one of my pet-sitting ads, and I spent four years as their in-home dog sitter! Between my boyfriend and I we have two cats and a dog. Let's just say they are spoiled rotten! I am a full time engineer at local company. For in house pet sitting, if your pet cannot go up to 8 hours being home alone on the week days we may not be a good fit! But on the weekends I can assure you that they will not be left alone longer than 3 hours. I do require a written out schedule and or pet habits (such as when they get fed, when they usually go outside, how many walks a day, how often to scoop litter, where supplies are) to ensure we have crystal clear directions! That way I can clarify anything before you leave! Please message me and we can discuss your pet's schedule! I do not provide pet sitting in my home due to I have pets of my own. I can assure you that in your home your fur baby will be well loved and cared for. As I have years of in home pet sitting I can assure you that your home will be cleaner than you left it, you will have an ample of fur baby pictures I have sent to your phone and most importantly a stress-free happy fur baby. Please message me with any questions!
“Melanie is fantastic. She did a great job with my two old grumpy bun buns. Followed instructions well and overall was great to work with. (Thanks Melanie! I’m sure the buns are going to miss you! 🐰)”
About: I've always grown up with 3+ dogs of all sizes! I am responsible and very loving. Not a certified trainer, but I will love your baby like my own! I'm a very active person and enjoy being outdoors in the sun and my favorite company is a furry friend 🐕 I have a pretty flexible job and can easily work around any schedule. I have experience with all dogs of all sizes! I prefer to go to your home to make your doggies experience better. Animals tend to be less anxious and scared being in their own space. 🙂 Will absolutely make arrangements if needed!
About: Hi there! I’m Camille, a dedicated and reliable pet caregiver with years of experience handling dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being deeply patient and attentive, ensuring that every animal under my care receives plenty of love, exercise, and safety-focused attention. Whether it’s high-energy walks or gentle, loving care for senior pets, I treat every pet like my own. I am fully comfortable navigating different leash manners and providing consistent, positive reinforcement. I currently work Thursday-Sunday at my full time job. I have evening availability on Saturdays and Sundays after 4pm. Otherwise, I am fully available Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. Just give me a heads up and I can make it happen! Your pet becomes my priority. I understand that your pets are family, and my goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while you are away. I specialize in following strict routines, including specific feeding schedules, playtime, and administering medication. I am happy to provide daily photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
“Keena has been fantastic with watching my two dogs! She has been able to care for them last minute and consistently provides updates, asks questions about food, routine, etc., and has been quick to let me know if any issues come up. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent and attentive dog sitter!”
About: Cai has been providing in home pet care since she was a teenager and began boarding pets when she started grad school in 2020. Joe has been boarding cats since around 2019 and has began boarding dogs since 2024. My partner and I work from home and provide full time care, meaning that, unless discussed beforehand explicitly, your pet will not be left alone and you can rest easy knowing they have our full attention. We only accept more than one pet at a time if they live in the same house and we are pet free right now, so you dont have to worry about how they might get along with any other animals. We have a fenced in yard for your pup to run around in and we live minutes away from Tower Grove Park where I love to take walks.
About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,364 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Schluersburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Schluersburg. 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.
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.
