About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! Hello, I currently work during the day as an office manager at a local advertising agency. My schedule is hybrid - I work form home Mondays and Fridays, so I am very flexible. I currently live in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the McKinley Heights negihborhood. There is both a front and backyard in my building but I also often walk to Lafayette Square, which is nearby.
“literally the best sitter on this entire app. so attentive and amazing communication, i feel so safe leaving my cat with TzuYu!!! if she's available, she's the one i always choose!”
“Jessica was great! Communicated well before and during the drop in visits. She cared for my cats as if they were her own, my cats also LOVED her and felt very comfortable. I plan to rebook with Jessica in the future for any other needs! Also she took the cutest photos of my fur babies!!”
“Sheldyn was an amazing dog sitter, and we would highly recommend her! Before watching our dogs, she took the time to meet with them and really understand their personalities, routines, and the care they needed. She was incredibly flexible with their schedules and treated both of our dogs with so much care and attention. We loved receiving regular updates about how they were doing, and she was always quick to let us know if she noticed anything that might be a concern. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our dogs, which made us feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Best of all, our dogs were always excited to see her and ready to play whenever she arrived! Sheldyn is kind, dependable, animal-friendly, and someone we would absolutely trust with our dogs again. 🐾❤️”
“Jamie was great! He took great care of our cats, our older dog, and our fish! Jamie was very thorough in his descriptions for his visits, and the pics were wonderful.”
“Uğar is the best! He’s very thorough and he takes great care of our cat. He provides excellent updates with lots of pictures. We’re happy to have him as our cat sitter!”

“Jenn took great care of my cat over the holidays, sent me very cute videos of her, and even dealt with my landlords changing my locks with less than 24 hours notice right at the beginning of the stay!”
“Stephen did an awesome job watching our dog Frankie on short notice when we were out of town for a wedding. He stopped my multiple times a day to take her on short walks, play with her, and make sure she had food and water. Would hire again. Thanks Stephen!”
“This was my first time using Rover and doing drop In visits. I would definitely recommend. Hannah was excellent with my timid little older dog that had a slipped disc. He warmed up to her quickly, was excited to see her when she came and didn’t want her to leave; she took the best care of him. She left detailed updates daily with pictures. I was away for a week and she even offered to water my plants. I will definitely use Hannah again! Thank you so much!”
“Laura was excellent when it came to our two cats! She was there to feed and play with them, while also providing copious amounts of pictures of them looking happy and healthy! Definitely hire her if you need a pet sitter!”
“Mary was amazing! She was communicating well, sending photos snd my followed my instructions perfectly! My baby is usually a tough cookie with strangers, but Mary had him calm and well taken care of in my absence. I came back to him being happy and my home being safe!”
“Madeleine was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and she was extremely responsive and a great communicator. I felt super comfortable while I was away knowing that Madeleine was taking care of my pet.”
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”
“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”

Jenn was available on short notice to take care of my 2 kitties. She came over to meet them and was very sweet and patient. She was able to give my cat Sherlock his medicine without any issues and she sent me photos and video each day when she visited which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. Would highly recommend her to care for your pets and won’t hesitate to have her care for mine again in the future!
Thank you so much Caitlin for taking such great care of our littles! They were so happy, healthy, and calm when we got back! Excited to see us but not desperate, such a testimate to how comfortable they were with you and how much fun they had!! So grateful for your care of not only the boys but our home too. A most sincere thank you.
Jamie was amazing. He took excellent care of our two young cats and provided rover-card feedback and photos every day we were gone. He was even able to stop by a couple of impromptu extra times when we need help with unforeseen issues. Best petsitter ever. We will definitely seek his services again next time we have to leave the fur-babies.
As always we are so grateful for your first class care Uğur! The boys were happy and healthy upon our return. I cannot express enough the difference in how I feel when we are away now knowing that they are under your watch. Thank you so much for all the photos and videos each day its such a relief to see them so happy.
Taylor went above and beyond watching my cat. She made sure to play with her and could tell she cleaned up after since my feline requires thawed food. She remembered to do a few small tasks I mentioned only during the initial visit and was shocked by her great memory. Not to mention the cutest pictures. She even went back to check on my girl to comfort her during fireworks voluntarily! Glad I found her and will be recommending to anyone who needs a sitter.
I would 100% recommend Charnell. She took great care of Attila and the pictures she sent were very cute. She also responded very quickly whenever I had a problem, she made the whole process incredibly easy. I will probably use her again if I ever need a cat sitter
It was our 1st time having a person to check in on our cat Maggie and it just went so well! Brooklyn took good care of her as if she were her own. She spent time playing with her and showing her kindness. Maggie soaked it up and returned the love by rolling on the floor wanting her tummy patted. We will definitely be requesting Brooklyn in our future trips away. Thank you much Brooklyn!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saint Louis on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,305 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Saint Louis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Louis. On Rover:

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.
