âEvelyn was very communicative and took very good care of our girl. Our senior dog has some quirks and special requests, and Evelyn had no issues, making our time away stress free.â

âShe was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isnât booked up.â


âAshely did absolutely amazing with Winnie! I could tell our pup had lots of fun and was well taken care of, and we got lots of pictures and videos of our baby throughout the week!â

âMikayla was wonderful! She took excellent care of my cat while I was away for two weeks, sent daily pics, and left my place spotless for when I returned. She is so kind and thoughtful. Highly recommend!â

âTori was so great! Took good care of all of our animals, was a lovely guest in our home, shared frequent photos and status updates, and was overall a pleasure to work with. Will be rebooking. :)â

âRoss was great! All of our pets were well taken care of the whole time we were out of town. Our dogs are very particular about their routines so it was great to find someone who could stay with them all weekend. Weâre definitely making Ross our go to sitter when we leave town.â

âJennifer was great caring for our energetic one year old. She walked her and also took care of all her needs as she is still training a bit. Our house was well taken care of like we never left. Thanks Jen!â


About: Hi! Iâm Erin, and Iâm currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. Iâm a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so Iâm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, Iâm allergic to cats, so Iâm only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If youâre looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, Iâd love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services youâre looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.
âSheâs great!! Came over last minute to watch our Frenchie. Very responsive and left the house just like she found it. Sent us pics of the little fur baby and kept us up to speed on everything. Love her!â

âLatasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.â


âJennifer was a fun, attentive, affectionate and responsible caregiver for my 7 month old kitten. She played with her a lot, fed her and cleaned out her litter regularly, and sent me lots of pictures and messages updating me on my kittenâs days. She also went above and beyond on cleaning my house and laundering the linens before I got home. Totally unnecessary, but very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her services.â

About: Iâm an attentive, deeply responsible pet sitter with a warm heart and a professional approach to care. Iâve been pet sitting since I was a child, loving and caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. Iâm always open to learning and training because your peace of mind matters to me. My background in a detail-driven healthcare field means I value precision, safety, and following care plans exactly as written. Whether your pet has two legs, four, or more, I treat them with the same care and respect I give to my own family members. Iâll treat your pet like my own and give them the attention, comfort, and best care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because Iâm currently working part-time and have flexibility over my schedule. I can build in extra time for daily walks, feeding, play sessions, and care plan tasks without rushing. This means Iâm able to stay consistent, be present with your pet, and adjust my day as needed to match their routine and comfort. I care for pets in your home since my place doesnât allow pets indoors. Iâve been around animals all my life, and like many pet owners, Iâve learned to recognize their cues and patterns simply from growing up with them. It may take a little time to learn your petâs quirks, but I enjoy that process and find it fun to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. The level of care I provide matches your petâs specific needs. If you just need walks or drop-in visits, Iâm happy with that. If your pet needs medication, special feeding, or other care tasks, Iâm comfortable handling those too. Iâm ready to rise to the level your pet needs and will follow your care plan exactly.
âBrianna 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!â

âMarsha took amazing care of my dog for an entire week, and I couldnât be happier with her service. From the moment she arrived at my home, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. Marsha provided frequent updates and pictures, which I truly appreciatedâit allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. Itâs clear that Marsha genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I returned to find my dog happy, healthy, and well-loved. Iâll definitely be reaching out to Marsha again in the future. Thank you, Marsha, for doing such an incredible job!â

âThis is the second time Asia has watched our dog for an extended period of time! She did a great job taking care of our dog and keeping an eye on our house! Sheâs on time and detailed in her communication! Thanks Asia!â

âGrace was wonderful with my boys. I was having horrible anxiety about leaving them so she was really nice to provide me with frequent updates and pictures. I will keep her in mind for future care for my boys if she is willing to watch them again haha. She also left the house just as we left it which I really appreciated. Reach out to her!â
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life - from my own to those of neighbors and family friends. I am able to care for young puppies to those of a more senior age. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am available mainly in the evenings or on the weekends. I would love to help your pet get the care they need! I care for each and every pet like they are my own. First and foremost I will prioritize their safety, and your wishes as the pet parent!

Haley agreed to house/dog sit for us last minute when other plans fell through. She was so sweet, very communicative, and gave us lots of updates while we were away from our nervous pup during 4th of July fireworks! She took great care of our girl and we came home to a spotless house. 10/10 would recommend booking Haley!

Emilee was fantastic with Ferguson while I was out of the country for six days. She followed his specific feeding instructions to a T and kept me updated throughout the entire trip with photos and check-ins which genuinely put my mind at ease being so far away. She was also housesitting at my place and left the apartment in great shape. Couldnât have asked for more. Highly recommend!

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!

Bri was so easy to work with! She was communicative, reliable, and our pets absolutely adored her. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we felt so comfortable with her taking care of things for us. Our pets have never been less stressed out while we were away; they were immediately comfortable with her which says a lot (small neurotic dog and finicky cat). We're so thrilled to have found her.

Jason did a terrific job. He made an immediate connection with our dogs and was very mindful of instructions for the care of our senior dog that requires additional attention. He stayed in constant communication with us and left our home in great condition. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Louis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Louis on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,679 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Louis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Saint Louis walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint Louis 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
