“Outstanding experience with William! My cat needs daily oral medications that require extra care and patience, and William did an incredible job administering them. The communication was prompt and consistent, with many wonderful photo updates during each visit. Very responsible, gentle, and reliable. Knowing my cat was in such capable hands gave me total peace of mind! My cat enjoys staying with him! Highly recommend!”
“Madeleine is wonderful! I was so nervous to use a new cat sitter after moving, but she was exactly what I was seeking. I am so grateful, she took great care of my cat for a few weekends. She’s prompt, responsive, and gave me awesome updates :)”
“Summer was a delight to work with and our dogs loved her! She did as asked and always arrived and stayed for her drop ins as arranged. We would definitely hire Summer again for drop ins with our dogs loved:)”
“Brenda was absolutely incredible with our cat while we were on vacation for 10 days. She sent us photos of our cat each morning and gave us updates as to how things were going while we were gone. She gave us the peace of mind we needed while we were gone and our cat warmed up to her immediately. She has such a great way with animals and is incredibly kind and easy to work with and even stayed an extra day when our trip was extended. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: I had two dogs growing up which gave me a lot of experience taking care of pets. And when I wasn't to bring any more pets home, I turned to petsitting. This gave me more experience working with cats. Flexible work and fully remote school schedule! This makes pet care during the day possible for me. I am able to accommodate your pet's schedule as well. I am and always have been an animal lover. I would be taking care of your pet as if they were my own to ease their stress as well.
About: My experience with dog care began at age 12 when I started walking my neighbors' medium-sized Labrador and Golden Retriever mix during summer afternoons, gaining early hands-on experience. Later, I expanded my responsibilities by dog-sitting for family friends, looking after dogs of various breeds and temperaments, which helped me develop a deeper understanding of different canine needs. I'm currently working remotely as an English tutor, and I have the flexibility to set my own hours to match your schedule and needs. I can assure you that your pet will be my top priority, and I am open to any changes, such as extended care time that you might require. I have a small backyard with a fence and a secure balcony if you want your cat to spend time outdoors. My cat is fed three times a day at specific times, so I can easily accommodate a strict feeding schedule for your pet.
About: I’m enthusiastic about caring for dogs of a large range of ages and sizes! I’m a runner and would specifically love to take your dog for however much exercise (running and/or walking) they require! I also am very much a cat person, and I have three cats of my own that each have their own unique needs. I’m currently working as a physician in training at WashU. My schedule is variable from week to week, so during weeks when I have lots of free time I’d be excited to provide dog walking services, drop-in checks on your pets if you’re out of town, or house sitting (depending on my availability). I feel equipped to provide for your pet’s unique needs. For dog owners, I specifically would be able to provide extra exercise to your dog since I’m an experienced runner. I would love the opportunity to take your dog on a run (to match their endurance/energy level, of course).
About: I have worked for 11 years in the dog/cat industry with one of the largest kennels in St. Louis. I started out as a runner and worked my way up t Facility Manager. I also worked in our grooming department providing baths, nail clipping/filing, teeth brushing and light trimming of sone dog furnishings. I have handled numerous breeds and sizes. I currently have three dogs; Charlotte a 12 year old Beagle, Homer a 6 year old Beagle/Coonhound, Eugene a 1 year old Beagle/American Foxhound. We also have Jager, my 4 year old Black Lab grandpup. I am an early riser and my dog’s day starts early as well. They have a regular schedule eating and potty time. They also attend a local Day Camp for weekly play with other pups. I am able to leave them at home for several hours a day. I am not currently offering pet care in my home. However, I respect another person’s home as if it were my own. I ask that the client has an assigned location for all pet walking needs as well as a location for drop in needs such as food and treats. If a pet has had any potty accidents inside the home, I will definitely clean up any “ accidents “ that I should come into.
“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!”
“I would 100% recommend Charnell. She took great care of Attila and the pictures she sent were very cute. She also responded very quickly whenever I had a problem, she made the whole process incredibly easy. I will probably use her again if I ever need a cat sitter”
“Max was an amazing pet sitter for my cat Birdie and my hamster Oso. I was worried as this was my first time leaving my cat for this long and she's a rescue and very shy. But, Birdie took to Max very quickly and Max made sure to keep me updated and let me know she was ok. I appreciated how communicative he was with me throughout my time away. Thanks to Max I was able to enjoy my first vacation in over 2 years. I will definitely be reaching out to Max the next time I go on vacation.”

About: I am a responsible college student with over three years of hands-on pet care experience, and I am thrilled to care for your furry family members! I have a steady weekday class schedule from 10:00 AM to 3.00 PM, Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours, my schedule is completely open for early morning or late afternoon drop-ins, and I love spending my entire weekend hanging out with your pets. Adult dogs have no problem with my short 3-hour class window, making me a perfect fit for overnight house sitting. I manage my pet-sitting around my college course load. I am in class from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. For house sitting, I spend my evenings, nights, and mornings at your home. I will occasionally pop out for a few hours during the day to visit my own home for meals, showers, or personal errands, but your pet will always remain my main priority. On weekends, my schedule is wide open, allowing me to provide multiple flexible drop-in visits or consistent companionship throughout the day. I prioritize keeping your pets safe and your home secure. During drop-ins and house sittings, I operate strictly within your home environment, following your exact household guidelines, tracking precise feeding portions, and handling daily litter box or potty routines meticulously. Dogs are kept on a secure leash at all times when outdoors. I double-check all door locks, security alarms, and property gates before leaving, and I send clear photo updates and text check-ins after every single visit to give you complete peace of mind.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Velda Village Hills
Paige is, hands down, one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the checklist of tasks. She sent frequent photo updates throughout each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away — it felt like we never really left. Beyond the basics, Paige went above and beyond: she cleaned up a mess without being asked and kept the litter box spotless the entire time. Little things like that show real attentiveness and care, not just showing up and clocking out. If you're looking for someone thoughtful, reliable, and truly attentive to your pet's needs, look no further. I cannot say enough good things about Paige — I will be absolutely be booking her again.
Emma did a great job with my cats! Her rover cards always had pictures and video along with thorough updates so I didn’t have worry at all while I was away. It was clear my cats loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also had no problem feeding my exotic pets and even watered some of my thirstier plants. She was always quick to get back to me will definitely book again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Velda Village Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 385 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Velda Village Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 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 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.

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 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.
