“If I could give Jeena 6 stars, I would! She took exceptional care and was very attentive to Henry. Not only did she keep our sweet guys happy, she left our home in immaculate shape. We will be happy to have Jenna care for Henry in the future.”
“Samantha and Christopher were fantastic! Ned was so happy during their stay and I felt more at ease during our trip knowing he was being taken care of. We received lots of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Communication was great and our house was just as we left it, if not better! I would definitely recommend and will use again for our future trips!”
“Lauryn took great care of our dogs! She has great communication, quick to respond, and sent daily updates and pictures to us while we were away. We would definitely use her services again!!”
“We loved having Alicia care for our pups while we were out of town. She was kind and professional, and took extra care with our pup who was more anxious. She gave great recaps of their day and it really helped to know she was taking such good care of our pups. We will definitely be recommending her to friends if they need a pet sitter.”
“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”
“Louise can be a temperamental dog and Mac was extraordinarily patient with her. Before I knew it he was giving her belly rubs. He was also respectful of our house and left the place just as we left it. I'd absolutely use him again.”
“I had Tori stay with my three cats - two of whom aren’t integrated with the third. She paid attention to my directions about that and was in contact a lot during the weekend. I really appreciated her attention to detail and willingness to give my girls cuddles. And she cleaned up after herself. Definitely recommend.”
“Our pups loved their time with Rebecca! She is very detail oriented for their care and communicated well with daily photos. Even left our house in as clean condition as we left it in, which is greatly appreciated :) 10/10 would recommend”
“Kristin was wonderful with our 4 fur babies in our home! We got regular updates and could tell from photos and messages she went above and beyond giving them lots of TLC. We’d love to have her back next time we travel!”
“Maddelyn could not have been more loving and perfect when watching my two pooches while I was in the hospital. She sent me pictures that showed how happy they were with her care. She had them on her lap, loving on them ... I know they were so happy!!! She even stayed on with me for several hours as I got settled in when I returned home from surgery. Maddelyn is a keeper!! Wonderful, happy, bright personality.”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of our 1 year old puppy Peach. She was really reliable & took such great care of our girl. Highly recommend and would use her as a sitter again.”
“Alex & his wife took care of my 3 pups over a long weekend. I had them stay at my home as 2 are foster dogs & more comfortable here now. Everything was great & the pups were well taken care of.”
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kobe! She was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Kobe looked so happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
“Our dogs adore Alex and so do we! He is flexible with our schedules and always shows up on time. He is communicative and resourceful. He puts up with our crazy energetic lab puppy and makes sure she is tired out and fulfilled. This time around was his first time watching our dogs at our new house and he figured everything out with very few instructions.”
“Marsha took amazing care of my dog for an entire week, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the moment she arrived at my home, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. Marsha provided frequent updates and pictures, which I truly appreciated—it allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. It’s clear that Marsha genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I returned to find my dog happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Marsha again in the future. Thank you, Marsha, for doing such an incredible job!”
“Claire has been our best dog sitter to date- she did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and house while we were out of town for a week. She communicated frequently and was very understanding of our complex dog set up. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Cara dog sat for our family in August 2024. This is the first time we have left our dog with a sitter outside the family. Cara went above and beyond with our boy. He got suddenly sick and she communicated and sent us photos of him and made a special diet. Cara acted fast and we quickly got him on the mend. We knew we were in good hands with our entire family being out of the country. Cara sent photos and videos almost every day. It helped keep us at ease knowing he was happy with her and well taken care of. Our house was left clean and tidy. Cara is a very practical down to earth girl that we would bring back in a heartbeat. She definitely an animal lover.❤️”
“Katie always does a great job dog / house sitting for us. We have used her services several times and will continue to book with her. She sends pictures and keeps us well informed while we are away.”
About: **I currently have two dogs of my own, but they stay at my partner's home if I am boarding your dog!** Hi! I’m a PhD student who has called St. Louis home for the past five years, and I’m currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation. The good news for your pets? I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, belly rubs, playtime, and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away! I am located in The Grove with access to a dog park at my apartment complex as well as walking distance to both Forest Park & Tower Grove Park for pups that enjoy long walks. One of my dogs loves people and dislikes other dogs, while the other one enjoys dogs and is wary of people so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and their differing needs. Whether your pet is a professional cuddler, an energetic adventurer, or simply here for the treats, I’d love to spoil them ◡̈ Since I work from home while finishing my PhD dissertation, pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. 🐾 My schedule is much more “read a paper, take a dog for a walk, write a paragraph, give belly rubs” than a traditional 9-to-5. I can easily adapt to the schedule of your pup! I’m happy to build pet care into my day and give your pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Having a furry coworker around is honestly a pretty great dissertation-writing perk! 😂 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see what your furry family member is up to. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe & happy!

Izzy is a delightful, caring and conscientious young lady. She spent real time with me during our meet and greet & my dog took to her as if she was her owner. KC is a very timid and fearful baby but warmed up to Izzy like I have never seen. Trustworthy, timely and left my home cleaner than when I left. I would choose her over and over and over again! 💕
Emily was so flexible with us. When our first trip was suddenly canceled, she agreed to come fewer days so we could go somewhere closer. She was great with the two animals a cat and a dog. Both seniors. she sent pictures & the house was impeccable when we returned thank you, Emily. Hoping you’ll stay again if needed.
We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!
Bridget was wonderful with our dog who is not the easiest fella. He is rambunctious and she handled him well. Kept us updated with just the right amount of pictures, took him for walks several times daily. She left the house sooo clean and communicated clearly throughout the week. Definitely plan to call her again.
Michael is a great guy and animal lover. I am so grateful, he did an great job looking after my 2 dogs and 4 cats house sitting while I was away on a business trip. He took great care of each of my pets and shared lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Michael showed he is reliable and a genuinely nice person. I will for sure request him again for my next trip, my dogs like him very much which makes my life happier as I travel a lot for business and am new to St Louis. Thanks again, Michael.
As usual, this crew is amazing! They always take great care of our kitties, especially our elder cat who needs subq fluids and medication. Our flight was cancelled coming home, and Sharon spent a second night with the clowder with no notice. We knew they were in good hands! Thank you!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Webster Groves on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,652 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:
- 96% 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.
