About: I’ve been a dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Ellie, since I was 9 years old, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Along with raising Ellie, I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing outside, or just getting lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. Outside of class, I have availability for walks, drop in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dogs. I will always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide a safe, calm, and caring environment.
“Kirsten was communicative and our animals all seemed to really like her (they are picky, so that says a lot!!). She sent pictures and made sure things were handled while we were away. Also quote flexible and available with our requests. We already have her booked for another longer sitting next week. Definitely recommend!!”
“Donovan was amazing. He really cared about our furry friends as his own. He spent a lot of time with them in our home, and they were the focus of his attention, which set our minds at ease. He sent us lots of photos and updates, and he also took care of our home as if it were his own. I would be happy to work with Donovan again, and I know that he will take great care of Ringo and Ginger anytime that we are away!”
“Naomi was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dogs, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our house was spotless when we returned and treated with so much respect. We came home to two happy, pups and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Ava and Eve did a great job taking care of the Pups. They were both happy campers and well rested on our return. They also took care of our house and watered plants. We couldn't ask for better sitters, thanks very much.”
“Kim did an excellent job watching our two sweet pups while we were out of town. She sent me daily pictures and videos so that I still felt connected with my dogs while traveling. She took great care of our two little family members and I would definitely have her watch our dogs again.”
“Lawton is awesome!! She sent great updates with photos and videos, was so easy to communicate with especially with me changing some times to take care of our dogs! She left our house clean and cared for and is just a sweet soul. We will for sure be using her again to care for our sweet fur babes!🫶”
“Rylee stayed with our two dogs while we were out of town for about a week. She was great at keeping us updated on what was going on and sending pics each night. The dogs took to Rylee right away and we are already working on lining up Rylee to stay with them again.”
“Nadia was fantastic every time we've had her. Sad to hear she is leaving Missouri and wish her the best of luck. Finding a replacement will be tough with the level of care she provided.”
About: Without having a ton of experience, I work well and will live up to your expectations! I love animals; I have two dogs, a kitty and a guinea pig. I'm good with all different types! I'm a senior high school, trying to start a part-time job here. I've kept the same job for two years and have loved that experience working with kids! I'm good with keeping puppies safe on walks. My cavalier loves to go on long walks. Keeping a good eye of roads, what they step on, and what they eat!
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m extremely passionate about their care, health, and overall well-being. I also have hands-on experience with professional dog grooming, including bathing, blow-drying, brushing, dematting, scissoring, and shaving. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, great at following detailed instructions, and prioritize clear communication with every owner. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I feed a group of 14 animals everyday for a older couple that can no longer do it themselves (or no longer prefers to lol) and that takes 2-3 hours of my evening leaving my basically fully available to fit in additional pet care all throughout the day. I am very passionate about adequate pet care. believe when it comes to caring for pets that trust is the foundation for it all. So when caring for a pet I believing following introductions and routines exactly, this helps the pet adjust and trust me a lot faster as they know I know their routine. My typical day with my dogs consists of waking up and going outside and just hanging out for a little, then I will give them breakfast and give them fresh water, after they are finished eating I clean their food bowl as well, and to end our morning routine I finish with a walk. Our afternoons usually consist of be doing any tasks or errands and when I’m home we will play with toys and hangout on the couch. The evenings usually is the same routine as the morning.
“Katie is nothing short of amazing. There is always a little anxiety when leaving your pets to go away but I have never felt more comfortable with any other dog sitter than I did with Katie. She gave constant updates and pics to show us our little guy was be well cared for and having a blast! Katie is so sweet and kind and you can tell she has a true love for animals. We are so thankful we found her and will definitely be using her again!!!!”
“Lisa stayed at our house with the pups for just over 2 weeks while we were away. We were nervous about hiring a new sitter, especially for such a long period, but she was fantastic. We even had a travel delay coming back, and she stayed an extra night to care for our pups (it was a HUGE relief!). The pups seemed very happy and well cared for, and so did our house. Her and her boys were a pleasure and we would absolutely book them again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Weldon Spring is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weldon Spring
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have been more fortunate to find Gunner to care for my dogs on such short notice. I have two Lhasa Apsos who are used to having someone around most of the time. Bentley loves constant attention and cuddles, which can be a lot to keep up with, and Sully is deaf, blind, and allergic to nearly everything. Caring for Sully presents unique challenges and is no easy task. Gunner was kind enough to stay in our home so Sully could remain comfortable in his familiar surroundings. From the moment we met him, it was clear he genuinely cared about animals, and he treated both of my dogs as if they were his own. I know caring for them isn't always easy, but he handled everything with patience, compassion, and professionalism. For the first time in a very long time, I was able to truly relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs were safe, happy, and well cared for. That peace of mind is priceless. I would absolutely love to have Gunner care for them again in the future, assuming my two pups didn't scare him away! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Weldon Spring is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $76 per night.

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 Weldon Spring 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 Weldon Spring 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Weldon Spring 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 , 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 .
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 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 .

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.
