“Kacy was very friendly and really appreciate her coming over the holidays - including twice on Christmas Day, to watch my two cats and visiting cat. She did a great job and left everything in order.”
About: I've had multiple pets all my life and strive to make their day as better as their last. I have a true strong passion for animals. I will be providing dog walking, house sitting and drop ins for dogs and cats. I have lots of experience with both, from taking care of my own pets to watching others in the past. I work, but am very flexible with my hours and open to most days and times. I'm outgoing so would be able to play and be active with pets that need to burn energy and like to have fun. I'm open to taking pets to a park or on trails to go on adventures. I'm very responsible and respectful. I'd treat every furbaby like they were one of my own. I'm comfortable with multiple pets all shapes and sizes. I'm great at following instructions if they needed certain feeding details and or also medication. I'm excited and hoping to work with alot of wonderful people and their animals. It's everyday. I feel better about myself knowing I've been able to help others and their pets have the best day that's possible for them. I treat my pets like my children. I'm a upstanding respectful young man who would be professional and caring the entire interaction with peoples home and their pets.
About: Have had dogs all my life. I majorly spoil my dogs. Im 27 and have had my own dog my whole life and take care of my dogs by myself on my own. I was a dog trainer for 2 years at PetSmart! I am a full time supervisor at TJMaxx in Lake St Louis, so I will be able to either stay at your homes while I am not at work or do drop by on my way to work and on my way home, or whatever is needed! Dogs coming to my house is not available at this moment. I do not have a reliable area for other dogs to come to MY House but more than welcome to go to the clients house!
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: 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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Silex
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 222 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Silex. 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 Silex. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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.
