“Lauren is amazing! She’s went above and beyond on her visits with our dog - taking her on walks, spending time with her to play, and taking extra care when she was being a picky eater. She kept us updated with pictures and notes and put our minds at ease. She even watered my flowers. She was a fabulous find, and we will definitely book again with her next time. Highly recommend!”
“Jill is the absolute best! She’s an animal lover to the core and treats our babies like they are her own. She’s super communicative and always sends the best pictures! She’s professional and knows her stuff, we have a diabetic cat and she administers his insulin like a pro. Jill is our go to sitter on Rover!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, and feed their pets. I can't wait to play with your pups! Hi everyone! I’m a recent graduate from Murray State University, and I am now available for dog sitting in the STL area. I have 6 years of dog care experience and am comfortable dogsitting of all ages. I'm available on the weekends. And certain times during the week. If you or someone you know is looking for a responsible, caring, and experienced dog sitter—whether it’s part-time, occasional, or regular—I’d love to help out! I have a fenced yard and a golden doodle that is very friendly. If you have any questions about accommodations for your doggy I am more than welcome to help!
About: I have had pets of all varieties! I have cared for strays, my families pets, outside animals, large and small dogs. I also have 5 pets myself! 4 cats and a senior dog! I have experience administering medications, dealing with food restrictions, bathing, and manually aiding a senior pup if I have to! I volunteer at an animal shelter in my spare time, and work with 6 furry friends and my regular job. My goal is to provide safe, furry friendly services to your kitty or pup! Hi! I am flexible with my pet care and will be upfront with what my availability is. I am currently a college student so some hours are non negotiable! Just send me a request and I will try my best to accommodate your pups needs! I care for the cats in my home, as well as my dog. My dog requires medication distribution so I have experience with that, and basic pet care needs!
“Amy did such a great job with my guys! She was so kind and attentive, always gave a good update and contacted me with any questions. Will definitely recommend her and rebook :)”
About: I’m the go-to sitter for my siblings, coaches, and friends, which speaks to the level of trust people place in me when it comes to caring for their pets. I genuinely love dogs and have a passion for making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for whether that means staying active with them or providing a calm, comforting environment. I have a soft spot for all dogs, but especially dream of one day having two golden retrievers of my own. Until then, I love any opportunity to spend time with and care for others’ pets as if they were mine. I’m currently on a clinical rotation at Athletico as part of my Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Washington University in St. Louis. With some time off from school this summer, I’m looking forward to helping out families who need reliable, attentive pet care. As a former SIUE women’s basketball player, I bring strong time management, discipline, and professionalism to everything I do. You can count on me to be responsible, communicative, and fully committed to giving your pet the best care possible. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. I’m currently on a PT clinical rotation Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:00 AM–3:30 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 AM–6:00 PM, which allows me to consistently offer drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m available for visits after 3:30 PM for afternoon/evening walks or check-ins. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have availability in the mornings before 10:00 AM and in the evenings after 6:00 PM. I do not offer overnight stays, but I’m very reliable for scheduled drop-ins and walks. I’m also typically available on weekends with a more flexible schedule, making it easy to accommodate multiple visits if needed. With my background as a student-athlete, I’m highly organized, dependable, and committed to sticking to a consistent routine for your pet. I can come and let your dog out or take them for a walk whenever! I am very good with dogs and am willing to come over and meet them before to get accustomed with them!
“If you're seeking a respectful, trustworthy, responsive, caring, and compassionate pet sitter, look no further! Tiffany did an excellent job caring for my two labs over the holidays. She's earned my business from here on out! Thank you so much, Tiffany!!”
About: I've had my own cats for almost 6 years, I've volunteered at the Belleville Area Humane Society for around 4 months, and I do occasional dogsitting and housesitting for family friends when needed. I have a summer job that starts on May 26th, and I have training from 9-4 on May 17th and 23rd. I'm unsure of which days I'll be working yet, so I will let you know when I can what my schedule will be. I will be completely free on weekends aside from outside events. I appreciate detailed instructions on any specifics needed when caring for your pets, such as medications, feeding times, bathroom breaks, regular walks, or any other schedule they need.
“Kelly was so great with our anxious dog. She reassured me throughout the visit (and before haha). She took things slow with our dog and gave him his space. We are thankful to have her stop by on a weekly basis. Kelly also communicates very quickly and has good availability on her schedule!”

Being able to bring joy and happiness to your pets is something I absolutely love to do! I'm currently working part time. I work Monday's and Tuesday 3-8 and Thursday's 11-3. Besides that, my schedule is very flexible and I can be with your pets when needed. It is very important to me that I make sure I do everything I can to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you are away. I don't see your pets as just a job, but as a precious pet that should be given love and support at all times. I would be so excited to be able spend time with your pets!
About: EXPERIENCED IN CARE OF DIABETIC ANIMALS! I am a junior in college and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to spend more time with your loved ones. I have two dogs, a small diabetic Yorkiepoo and a high energy wire haired, pointing Griffin. As a college student I have a lot of flexibility to provide care almost around the clock! Additionally this is my only job, no other competing priorities. I am willing to stay overnight at your house to watch them. I can watch multiple pets at a time.

“Gabby was fantastic! We are so happy to find a pet sitter for ourselves as we are usually doing the dog sitting. We've been afraid to leave town without the pups since we moved here and we're confident that Gabby will always do a great job!”
“Nick did an amazing job watching my dogs while I was away. He is very knowledgeable about taking care of dogs and that out my mind at ease when I was out of town. When I came home, my dogs and cat were completely calm as if I had only been gone for a few minutes instead of a few days.”
About: With a nurturing touch and an innate ability to quickly bond with animals, I provide exceptional pet care by treating them as cherished family members. Specializing in both puppy training and senior care, I ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Drawing from my experience of owning multiple dogs since the age of 12, I understand the unique needs and dynamics of canine companionship. After completing my morning workouts, basketball training, and studies, I have plenty of free time throughout the day. I find solace in spending time with pets during these moments of relaxation. It's a genuine joy for me, and I'm always available to make new furry friends whenever the opportunity arises. I create a safe and cozy environment for pets, whether it's at my place or yours. I make sure there are no dangers around and follow your instructions closely. Your furry friend will get all the care they need, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
About: I have always been a dog owner and welcome any dog into our home. There is no greater love than the companionship of a dog. I work full time but am available to care for dogs in the evening and on the weekends. They will also get special attention in the morning hours. I have a fenced in backyard and a silver Labrador of my own that loves to play with any and all dogs. I can accept crate trained dogs if needed.
“Megan and Seth were awesome! Gave us consistent updates and even cleaned up for our return. Our dogs are all anxious with personality quirks but they managed to wrangle and befriend them all. We were so worried leaving them with a non family member, but we were comforted with their daily updates.”
About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Troy stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Troy 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 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 dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Troy with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
