“We’ve had Cynthia watch our dogs multiple times for extended stays and she is fantastic! She gives us frequent updates with pictures and videos, and the dogs always look so happy! We know our pups are in good hands with her!”
“Savannah was amazing. Highly recommended as someone to help take care of your pets and home. Very conscientious and walked our dog five times every day and played with her tons, sending pictures and video updates all the time.”
“Heather kept our dog safe and sound while we were out of town! She was flexible about a change to feeding that our vet required shortly before her stay and made adjustments as necessary to make sure our dog was eating enough. She also administered medication with no issues. Heather was always responsive to my messages and kept me up to date about how our pup was doing. She was respectful of our home and left things neat and clean. I would hire her again!”
“Ella is AMAZING! She kept us very updated with pictures of our dog and how she was doing. She was very communicative and responded quickly. We will definitely be using her again in the future 😊”
About: Hello, my animal care experience began when I was a child. I grew up on a farm, and learned animal care, and training. I have always loved animals, and felt and affinity for them. I have a background in human health care, but am well versed in animal CPR, and am experienced and comfortable administering medications including iv, and injections. I’m experienced caring for, and training pets of all ages, and stages of life. I love dogs and cats equally! I’m in the entertainment industry (musician) so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I often work on the weekends, but I will still have availability during that time. I’m not usually gone for more than 6 hours. I have no pets in my home currently. I live in a condo with a roommate. We have a small fenced yard, and a larger fenced area for dogs immediately adjacent to our yard. I love walking, and will typically walk dogs, unless there are reasons the dog can’t.
About: Hi! I’m Keirra, a reliable and energetic pet sitter based in Creve Coeur, Missouri, with experience caring for Pugs, Cavapoos, Shih Tzus, Miniature Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and more. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR Certified and committed to providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care while following your pet’s routine and treating them like family. I work from home most days, giving me flexible weekday and weekend availability. I also provide frequent photo updates and quick communication so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands. If you’re looking for someone dependable, responsive, safety-focused, and full of positive energy, I’d love to care for your furry family member! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just some extra companionship, I'm able to adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In my client's home, I strive to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I always treat my clients' homes with the utmost respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.
“Alec watched our 2 large dogs in our home while we were away for a week. He checked in with us daily, sent photos, and was a great communicator. We highly recommend him and look forward to booking with him again in the future!”
“Tea took great care of my fur-babies for 11 days and nights!!! My dog seemed quite content, happy, and healthy upon my return. Additionally, she took great care of my home. I was able to come back from my vacation with no messes or untidy spaces. I appreciated the updates and would love more videos/photos when Tea's back for future visits!”
About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me
“Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet girl Roxie. She kept us informed of how Roxie was doing, when she would eat as well as send us cute pictures of how happy she was playing with her toys. It was so nice to get her messages and relieved some stress we had when leaving Roxie… especially with her arthritis. This was our first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience with Molly. We will plan to ask her to stay again on our next out of town trip!”
“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
“Charrell was great. I was so worried about leaving my dog with someone else while I was away but Charrell was very responsible, prompt, and such a great person overall. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Chris was terrific! She all but adopted my little, old Maltese. She tended all her many needs and made her feel at home. She also tended to my old house: organized my pantry and even cleaned out my very messy fridge! HIghly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of and loved on dogs ever since I was a young child. We constantly had dogs in the house and many of my responsibilities would be to take care of them. My family relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe them. We have had a range of dog sizes from a Yorkshire Terrier to a Golden Retriever. For the past five years, I have also fostered dogs. Their activity levels and their physical capabilities would range as well. Pet care fits well in my daily and weekly schedules. Over the summer, I have much more free time. I love to go to parks to walk around and enjoy the outdoors. I would love to explore them with your dogs. I enjoy pets and I love to get to know their unique personalities. I establish a consistent daily routine for feeding, exercising, and grooming the pets. This includes providing fresh water, feeding them their prescribed diet, taking them for walks or playtime, and attending to their grooming needs such as brushing or bathing. I ensure that the home or designated area is secure, with no escape routes or dangerous objects within the pet's reach.
“Bennett did a wonderful job watching my two dogs while my family was on vacation. He bonded with both of them and helped them be comfortable while we were gone. I will definitely ask Bennett to watch my dogs again.”
About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m extremely passionate about their care, health, and overall well-being. I also have hands-on experience with professional dog grooming, including bathing, blow-drying, brushing, dematting, scissoring, and shaving. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, great at following detailed instructions, and prioritize clear communication with every owner. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I feed a group of 14 animals everyday for a older couple that can no longer do it themselves (or no longer prefers to lol) and that takes 2-3 hours of my evening leaving my basically fully available to fit in additional pet care all throughout the day. I am very passionate about adequate pet care. believe when it comes to caring for pets that trust is the foundation for it all. So when caring for a pet I believing following introductions and routines exactly, this helps the pet adjust and trust me a lot faster as they know I know their routine. My typical day with my dogs consists of waking up and going outside and just hanging out for a little, then I will give them breakfast and give them fresh water, after they are finished eating I clean their food bowl as well, and to end our morning routine I finish with a walk. Our afternoons usually consist of be doing any tasks or errands and when I’m home we will play with toys and hangout on the couch. The evenings usually is the same routine as the morning.
“Kristin watched our dog, Lola, for 5 days in our home. We usually bring Lola with us on trips or family watches her, but that wasn't an option so I knew I'd miss her tons. Kristin took wonderful care of Lola, she received two long walks every day (Lola wears a GPS collar) and plenty of play time and belly rubs. Kristin gave us detailed updates and pics 2x per day which always made me smile. I didn't feel the need to check in at all since the updates were very timely and detailed. We would definitely book with Kristin in the future!”

Ashley is the best! She took such great care of my dogs and went above and beyond while I was away. She sent lots of pictures and updates, was always quick to respond, and was super reliable throughout the entire stay. She also left my house so clean and even washed the towels and bedding so I had fresh sheets to come home to after traveling, which was so thoughtful! I really appreciated the extra effort and how she treated my pups like her own. Ashley made being away so much easier knowing my dogs and home were in good hands.
Emma did a fantastic job!!!!! My doggo was so relaxed with her he just went about his life as if I were there. The updates were fantastic and I know I made a great choice with Emma!!! I don't travel much but when I do I am definitely 💯 % asking her again!!!! Thank you so much.
Mya was great! She arrived within the window of time agreed upon. She sent pictures of my lil guy. She recalled a conversation we had upon our original meet n greet & acted upon it, taking my boy on a hike on his favorite trail! I will definitely be reaching out to Mya again for future care of my pup.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s 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 Sycamore Hills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sycamore Hills 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 they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s 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 Sycamore Hills 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 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.
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.
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 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.
