“Jeena was pretty amazing... lots of pics of our 2 pups while we were gone for 8 days. She took great care of them while staying at our house...Lots of treats, play time and snuggle time. She cleaned up after herself as well including doing the laundry of the towels and sheets and took out the trash. Will definitely request to have her come back the next time we need someone to watch our 2 boys. Thank you Jenna :)”
“Jennifer and co were absolutely fantastic! I had a last minute request because my cat injured himself and needed extra care. Jennifer stayed with him, gave meds, and updated me with any changes. My other cat was also well loved and taken care of! I received many video and photo updates every night and I knew my babies were in good hands!!! I will definitely book again!”
“Chris has done both dog walking, and dog sitting for us on multiple occasions. Each experience has always been extremely positive and professional! It has given us such peace of mind to know our sweet (and very anxious) boy is well taken care of while we are out of town. Chris is trustworthy, caring, and attentive. And our dog LOVES him!”
“Claire was above and beyond for us! She took the most incredible care of Pebbles and she was so flexible with my schedule changes. She was so patient when our A/C went out while I was gone. She is the blueprint for dog watchers and there is nothing I wouldn’t trust her with! She played with Pebbles and I got a lot of photos. Claire is an ANGEL!!!”
“Sarah was great! We had her stay in our home while we were away and she watched our dogs. She did a wonderful job taking care of them and our home while we were away! She’s great with dogs and we really appreciated how communicative she was with us while we were away. We’d highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I started helping take care of my family dog at age seven, and over the years my experience has grown to include a wide variety of pets, from chickens and tortoises to rabbits. Each has taught me something different about patience, attentiveness, and individualized care. I currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with the day-to-day needs, personalities, and quirks that come with feline care. What sets me apart is the combination of this lifelong, hands-on experience and my medical training. As a medical student, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and comfort with administering medications when needed. I’m very attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy, and I understand how important it is to follow care instructions closely. I also have experience caring for senior pets. I had a cat who lived to 20+, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and consistency older animals need. Whether your pet is young and energetic or requires a slower, more thoughtful approach, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times! I’m currently in my fourth year of medical school and have completed my core clinical rotations, which gives me a lot of flexibility and free time. I can easily accommodate regular visits, walks, or extended care throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet’s needs are consistently met. I understand how important companionship and routine are for pets, and I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment whether in my home or yours. I use Rover myself to ensure my cats stay happy and cared for when I’m away, so I know what it’s like to provide peace of mind for both pets and their owners. I follow all instructions closely, supervise playtime, and make sure each pet feels secure and loved.
“This was my first time using Rover.com and we were very impressed with Alicia. She was available at the last minute on a holiday and confirmed all the details with me the evening before. She arrived promptly and immediately became acquainted with our dogs, who instantly liked her. We provided (more than) ample instructions for the pets before we left, and Alicia patiently listened to everything we had to say. I have to be in NYC for work and am planning to book with her if she is available.”
“Hayden did a good job taking care of Jack while I was out of town. She was very attentive to his needs and made me feel comfortable. Communication was good.”
“Max did a great job taking care of my senior pets! He was prompt, communicative, gave lots of updates, and took extra care to make sure my cat ate her meds with her food. Will use him again!”
“Katie did a wonderful job dog sitting for us. She kept us informed of how the dogs where doing and what they were up to. The dogs looked healthy and happy when we returned home. We would definitely book Katie again.”
“Gabrielle was just the right amount of communicative! She took great care of our dog while we were away and the house looked great. Would definitely book again.”
“Sarah was excellent!! She was a pleasure to plan with and a great communicator. She left the house clean and was resourceful when she needed to find things without my help. And of course she did a great job tending to and loving in our pups!! Would definitely book her again!!”
“Asia is a wonderful sitter. She kept Cooper for an extended period for me and was very flexible with scheduling. She has extensive experience with dogs and can read cues and knows how to give them space if needed, especially for my anxious pup. I came home to a clean house and living plants too :) I will definitely be rebooking with Asia when I can in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Wow! This was our first experience with Rover and we were very fortunate to find Jeremy. Everything about the experience was first class. I highly recommend Jeremy, but I selfishly do so with caution. Everyone will want to hire him and he won’t be available for us next time. Definitely a 5 star experience. Jeremy was prompt, communicative, respectful, attentive to our requests, also to the animals, and flexible in his schedule. Thank you Jeremy.”
“Buddy seemed to enjoy hanging out with Taylor! She sent multiple pictures each day and followed his instructions. She left my house tidy and even ran the dishwasher before she left.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley went above and beyond for Monkey and Winston, sending the sweetest pictures and keeping me updated the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing they were so well cared for. I’ll definitely be rebooking her next time I’m away!”
“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”
“Cara was amazing with our 2 jack russel terriers while we were on vacation for a week. She sent pictures and videos daily which we adored. Our younger, newer dog warmed up to her quickly. She played ball with pur older dog. Good communication, reliable and helped us relax by not having to worry about the dogs while on vacation since we knew they were with someone who cared. Definitely will be requesting Cara in the future. Thank you Cara!”
“We were very upfront with Marsha that our rescue dog can be slightly aggressive and does not like strangers—we had almost given up on finding a sitter. Although Marsha never rushed the process, always listened to our concerns, and used techniques that helped our pup build trust slowly. She’s a great communicator with lots of messages, pictures and video. It was so nice to be away and not feel concerned. She’s a great sitter for anxious pups!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Webster Groves
Alexandra watched my German Shepherd and senior cat while I was away for a float trip over the weekend. Even though she knew I would be in an area with limited cell reception, she took the time to send pictures and updates a few times a day so they’d arrive when I did have service. I could tell that my printed care instructions were followed because they were checked off and notes added where needed. Alexandra also went the extra mile and took the time to brush my cat, strip the bedding off the bed, and leave a written note before she left. Would highly recommend Alexandra as a petsitter!
Julia stayed with my pup Fiona for 3 nights and was wonderful! Fiona took to her immediately, zooming around the when Julia came over for the meet and greet (an activity usually reserved for special friends and family). Julia was professional, responsive, and took care to leave my place tidy. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Julia!
I feel fortunate to have found Anya on Rover to dog sit my beloved beagle for a week while I was on vacation. She did a great job, and I appreciated her sending me updates during the week on how my dog was doing. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend Anya!
Janina is the best. Her communication is second to none, including consistent updates with photos so we know our pups are well taken care of. Our two pups can be slow to warm, including our 90-pound boy. But they both took to Janina right away. When our plans changed last minute, she was very accommodating and went above and beyond. Plus she left our home cleaner than when we left. She’s the first person we’ll be reaching out to the next time we need someone to care for our pups!
Denita was the BEST dog sitter I've ever had! She cared for my dog so well, was communicative, and kept to her schedule (which has some flexibility, but I've had sitters in the past who have adjusted meals/being let out/etc by hours or been gone during important times, and it really throws a dog off). My puppy was very happy and content when I got home. I never had to worry that she wasn't being taken care of. She also left the house extremely clean.
Thank you to Alicia for taking great care of our cats and backyard chickens while we were out of town! I knew they were in great hands and I really appreciated the updates and photos. You even won the trust of our shy cat, something that takes most people a while. Thank you again for all of your effort and care for our crew!
I came home to a happy dog and a clean house, this was great. Max took good care of my senior dog while we were away and also tended to a couple domestic surprises that occurred while we were gone, all with common sense and grace. Would definitely do this again.
Lauren was excellent! She arrived on time and sent updates on our pups as well as mail/packages that arrived while we were gone. She took great care of our girl and boy. I think they were both more sad she was gone than they were happy we were back! She was accommodating when our return was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances as well! She left our home clean and went above and beyond with washing towels and bedding before we returned. 10 out of 10 recommend Lauren for sitting!
Chris was amazing! Great communication and some great pics of our pups enjoying their time with him. Our pups were relaxed and happy when we came home and our house was spotless. This was our first experience with Chris and Rover, but it most certainly will not be our last.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Webster Groves on Rover is $73.26 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,697 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Webster Groves. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Webster Groves 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 Webster Groves 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 Webster Groves 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Webster Groves. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
