“Sarah took great care of our kitty, Chuck, while we were away for nearly a week. She was very communicative, and followed instructions and came at the appointed times as planned. We were very happy with her care and would love to have Sarah take care of Chuck again when needed!”

About: Just a dog mom and passionate animal lover with a dream of spoiling every fur baby in STL. I own a large, reactive senior dog that is my pride and joy so I’m well versed in reactive dogs with spicy personalities. Disclaimer: I’m a physician with unpredictable hours but I know my schedule months in advance so we’ll work together to find a good routine. I will always be transparent if I can’t provide the care needed due to time constraints. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or medical needs and cats are more than welcome to join the gang ! My schedule varies due to switching between clinic and hospital rotations every month. I’m usually available in the evenings and weekends. I know my schedule months in advance so will depend on what service you're looking for and what dates Unfortunately, my dog is not friendly with other animals so I cannot provide boarding. I can only offer house sitting if able to alternate between my home and yours
“Jordan had a wonderful meet and greet with me and my kitties. Kept me updated twice over my vacation with photos. We forgot to discuss what to do with the key key at the end of the booking. Agreed to leave it locked in the house, He brought in the mail and kept the house clean (litter box, used cans of food, etc.) Found out he is starting off in the business. Might suggest to check beforehand with the client how often they would like photos. I was cruising and did not always have access to internet/texts/calls. I would consider rebooking Jordan in the future.”
“Anya was amazing with our 14 week puppy. She knew exactly how to help us stay consistent with potty training and teething. She was communicative and always on time. We will miss having her when she goes back to school!”
About: I'm a licensed veterinary technician with 10 years of experience and do in home pet sitting in addition to my regular job. I work from 8-4 Monday-Friday. I have experience with all types of cats and dogs and can give any medications needed including injections. I will stay in your home while you're away for pet sitting that way I can take care of your pet and your home so you don't have to worry about a thing while you're away. I love all animals, and have a passion for caring for pets. I know pets feel more comfortable in their own home which is why I pet sit. I have seen how anxious pets get in boarding facilities, and my goal is to avoid that anxiety for you and your pet. I work at wash u medical campus from 9-5pm Monday through Friday. Otherwise I'll be at your home taking care of your pets. I usually walk dogs before work and then right when I get home and again before bed. If they need extra walks or play time in the evenings, that's fine as well. On weekends I can do any play/ walk schedule that works for your pet. I will care for your pet the way that you would. Whether they like long walks and lots of play time or enjoy time just relaxing on the couch. I do work an 8 hour day during the week, but otherwise I will be hanging out with your pets just like you would, so they'll feel right at home. I'm a very neat person and have been told that I leave the house cleaner that it was left to me. I will take every precaution to ensure the safety of your pet, whether you create during the day, need a special harness for walks or anything else that your pet needs. I'm also very diligent about keeping your house safe however you'd like.
“Samantha was very communicative about what my boys were up to while I was away. She also was able to fit me into her schedule on a late notice. This was the first time I left my cats at home and didn't have my mom watch them with an asthmatic cat and I was not worried at all. She's the best!”

About: I am a dog daycare counselor during the day and hopefully your future sitter by evening. I am certified in animal CPR and 1st aid. I am experienced with medication administration for any kinds or conditions. I am also trained in dog behavior. I am currently a supervisor at a dog daycare and they are my day to day life. Even at home we have 2 cats and a dog. Our home is never without our 4 pawed babies. I love to give them my full attention because I know they always have mine. I usually like to follow a plan for our days, but I mostly want the pet to feel happy and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal since I was 10. I work from home completely remote and live across the street from Tower Grove Park with a fenced in backyard, and would love to spend my free time loving on more dogs. From neighbors, friends, family, and referrals I’ve cared for peoples homes and pets with just as much love and care as I do my own. I trained my own puppy daisy since she was 8 weeks old and she will hopefully soon be a therapy dog. She recently graduated from her first 12 week course and is about to enter the next level. Additionally we had senior special needs dogs growing up. I previously worked in heal care and have experience administering medications and acting in medical emergencies. I am a photographer by trade and will send you lots of cute updates 🤍 I can’t wait to love on your babies! I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to love on your pups! I can work with your dogs schedule as needed as I understand schedules can change. I live in an 1200 sq ft apartment with my puppy daisy who is great with other dogs and a sweet calm girl. I live across the street from tower grove park and have a small green space private yard for potty breaks
“Ashley is a great cat-sitter. She listened to me carefully, took care of my cat’s needs and did a great job overall. My cat got friendly with her pretty quickly. Highly recommended!”
About: Hello, I have many years of pet care under my belt and I'd love to show your pet some excellent care. I host dogs in my freetime on wag and I'm looking to expand that to rover. I'm very considerate, and I've grown up around a number of different dogs and cats. I think you'd be hard pressed finding someone as dedicated to details as me. I will bathe, walk, and tire your dog or cat out. Any special request are no problem, as I'm aware owners can be very picky about the care of their dog or cat. I've never met a challenge too great, or a request too daunting. If you're interested in my services, don't hesitate to contact. Thank you. I’m working part time as an event bartender and student. I have amble free time such that I am nearly available at any time. I live in an apartment building directly across from Forest park. I have 1 dog of my own that I take there various times throughout the day!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Louis
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!
Cannot recommend Jamie enough (and thank him enough)! We have two senior dogs who are starting to not have the potty control they used to, prefer things to be fun but also calm/peaceful, and don't always have a lot of energy for meeting new people. Jamie met our dogs and they immediately liked him; even our oldest who tends to be a bit on the grumpy side! Then when we needed to be gone (with no service for most of the day) to do some work in remote Missouri, it was so amazing knowing our boys were going to be taken care of, loved on, and given ample time in the yard to relieve themselves. Even got some amazing notes, pictures, and prompt check-in notifications when I got back into a cell service area! Aaaaand Jamie was understanding of how scatterbrained I can be / how exhausted we were when we got back from our work that he made sure we got home okay so the boys weren't home alone AND didn't get annoyed with me when I forgot to reply to his check-in message, ha-ha! Amazing experience all around and wonderful to have an additional person to help care for our "super seniors!"
Jenn was so wonderful with our big old goof of a dog! She was very communicative and sent cute photos during her check ins. Willie is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but he loved Jenn and she was great with him! It was an absolute relief to find someone to help us out while we’re away!
Wonderful experience! Stephen was professional and respectful of our older rescue dog who likes his space. He gave detailed updates during daily drop in visits that put us at ease. We appreciated his flexibility working with us. Our doggo was very comfortable with Stephen and we hope to book again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Saint Louis is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,606 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Saint Louis. 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.
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 Saint Louis 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
