About: Have had dogs all my life. I majorly spoil my dogs. Im 27 and have had my own dog my whole life and take care of my dogs by myself on my own. I was a dog trainer for 2 years at PetSmart! I am a full time supervisor at TJMaxx in Lake St Louis, so I will be able to either stay at your homes while I am not at work or do drop by on my way to work and on my way home, or whatever is needed! Dogs coming to my house is not available at this moment. I do not have a reliable area for other dogs to come to MY House but more than welcome to go to the clients house!
About: I grew up in a house full of animals, so loving and caring for pets is second nature to me! Our household currently includes two cats (Walter and Wanda). When your pet stays with us, they become part of the family—expect plenty of belly rubs, playtime, and pampered care! Being a Stay at home mom, I have flexibility that allows me to do things like hiking trails, running at the lake, and house/pet sit for my friends and family. Growing up with both indoor and outdoor animals has helped me adapt to different pets behaviors and still create a trusting environment so they feel safe.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies for the past four years for neighbors and friends. I provide entertainment, walks, fresh food and water, and ensure the safety of your pet. I’m currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule and I am available for pet sitting and check ins with your furry friends. I provide fresh food and water, change litter boxes, ensure the safety of your pet, provide pictures and updates, and provide entertainment and medication administration when needed.
“Kacy is a truly exceptional dog care provider. I have used many walkers, sitters, and boarders through Rover over the past 12 years, and Kacy is easily one of the very best, if not the best, I’ve ever hired. She is also a very warm and friendly person who is easy to work with While Kacy handled all the essentials perfectly—communicating regularly and providing detailed status reports and photos—it was her proactive care that really set her apart. For example, Kacy identified a GI issue my Newfoundland, Josie, was developing and immediately adjusted her diet to address it, carefully selecting an appropriate food and tweaking things as needed. She also handled some urgent cleaning and grooming Josie needed right away. It is rare to find a walker so attentive and observant. I felt completely at ease knowing Josie was in such capable, caring hands. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi! I’m Arturo, a responsible, active, and dependable caregiver with a strong background in leadership and coaching.

“Our cats love when Diane comes by to check on them. Our youngest cat is scared of dang near everything and doesn't like strangers but even he comes out for playtime/pets when she comes by. She really takes the time to play with the boys and make sure they are well taken care of.”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Troy is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 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 598 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Troy. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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.

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.
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 .
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.
