About: As a lifelong animal lover, I've been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, have shared my home with cats as an adult, and have cared for both a hamster and a chinchilla. (Did you see the old photo of me in my highchair feeding King, my family's German Shepherd?) I've also pet-sat for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From keeping up with their daily routine to playtime, walks, treats, and cuddles, I'll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I give my own. I am retired from full-time work and have time to care for furry family members while their humans are away. Plus, I absolutely LOVE walking, and walking your dog certainly would be more entertaining than walking by myself! I will care for your pet(s) in your home according to your instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your pet(s) while giving you complete peace of mind.

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: I have lived my whole life with dogs and I am currently a Dog Mom of 1. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, including a summer job at a local dog + owner fitness facility and volunteering at stray rescue in STL. My pet is also a rescue, so I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra care and comfort. My main focus is to show your pet some extra love while they are patiently waiting for you to return, and to help you as a dog parent feel at peace, knowing your dog is being well taken care of. I am currently available all day and all weekdays as I do not have a full-time job that conflicts with my availability. I can also do weekends when advance notice is given. It is important to me that I get to know both you and your pet! I want everyone to feel safe and sound during appointments. For first-time customers: I am available for phone or video calls prior to the booking date, as well as in person meet and greets (when scheduled in advance). Afterwards, we can discuss communication preferences during visits and, if requesting regular care, what days/times you would like to book in the future.
About: I’ve been dog-sitting since I was a child, caring for a wide variety of breeds—from Toy Poodles to Golden Doodles. Dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities have a special place in my heart. I currently have a 10-year-old Havaton named Winnie, who’s been my loyal companion for years, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who treats your dog like family. Over the years, I’ve walked, fed, bathed, and cared for dogs with unique needs—from anxious pups to high-energy breeds and sweet seniors. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, seen, and deeply loved. Whether your dog needs extra cuddle time, play breaks, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I tailor my care to match their individual personality and routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine right now! I recently graduated this past May and am currently focusing on finding the right post-grad job. While I navigate this next chapter, I’m using pet sitting and dog walking to stay active, earn some extra income, and spend time doing something I genuinely love. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them brings me so much joy and peace. Plus, I enjoy getting outside, going for walks, and being present with animals—it’s the perfect balance while I focus on my career goals. I’m flexible, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping their routine consistent. In your home, I aim to make your pet feel secure while you’re away by sticking closely to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and preferred activities—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or quiet companionship. I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels loved and at ease in their familiar environment. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll be part of a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and cozy spots to relax. I have two cats and one dog who are all friendly and used to being around other animals, so I always make sure introductions are gradual and stress-free. No matter the setting, I show up with patience, kindness, and the goal of making your pet feel like I’m a trusted friend, not just a sitter.
“Alivia was a super communicative and kind easy to work with sitter. From walking through the care instructions for my senior dog, to daily updates on how he was doing, I felt like he was in safe hands and could enjoy my time away. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“We couldn’t ask for a better Rover than Adriana. She took her duties seriously taking great care of our dog Delilah while staying at our house. Very professional and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Abby was amazing! She provided so many updates and pictures. She is by far the best pet sitter I have had. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants someone who cares for your animals like they are her own!”
About: I have experience with dogs & cats of all different breeds & ages. I have a dog & 3 cats at home & love being around animals whenever possible! I work part time & I have a lot of free time during the day to spend with the pets! I love playing with them or just having them near me when I’m home. I am available to walk the dogs when needed & spend time with them in the yard/play with them inside and hang with them during the day.
About: Hi, I'm Raina! I love caring for dogs and cats and have years of experience, including with my late dog Coco, who lived to 15. I offer pet sitting at my home with a secure, fenced-in backyard, ensuring a safe and fun environment. I take animal care seriously, providing consistent, loving, and responsible attention, including any needed medical care. You can trust that your pets will receive the same love and protection I gave to Coco, with plenty of photo updates to keep you connected. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am usually working from home so I will be available to care for your pets. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your pet company. I ensure top-notch care by carefully boarding pets that I believe will do well in my house. To provide the best experience, I would need to know your pet's daily routines, medication requirements, and any other special needs.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life. From training puppies, to caring for older dogs who have needed round the clock medicine and care and everything in between. I have taken care of kittens/cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, you name your pet and I have probably come into contact with it at some point. I have always wanted to become a veterinarian, but life took me in other directions, so now I show my love and support for the animal community by helping people take care of their fur babies. I am currently working 5 8hr shifts outside the home, but am available for walks, check-ins and other services! I am off by 215 every day so plenty of time in the evenings. My neighborhood is wonderful, I have plenty of nearby parks, as well as, a walking trail directly in my neighborhood. It is a very pet friendly place, with lots of other pets to interact with and also has a dog park. I usually only do healthy treats for training, but obviously will cater to whatever schedule or routine your animal needs.
“Words cannot explain how at peace we were with Gabriella being at our house for 2 weeks and taking care of our fur babies! The boys were well loved and taken care of, the house was spotless and the communication was top notch! Don't hesitate for a single second, she is the best one out there!!”
About: I'm a patient person with an affinity for animals. I've been taking care of dogs since I can remember. Also, I have tons of experience in babysitting, house sitting and even some elder care. Point of story: I will treat your fur baby like it's my own! I work from home as a freelance writer! I have a big apartment that currently has one small dog in it. I thought it would be cool to have more dogs in it! Or to just meet other dogs at their house! I love dogs and that's pretty much it I live in a nice, sub-urby area, and I take my dog Laz on walks through the neighborhood and to the park. I would be happy for your dog to join on those walks! Or if your dog prefers the comfort of their own home, I'm happy to accommodate that as well 😊
“Brad was really great with our dog Mooney! He gave daily updates and communicated very efficiently. We felt at ease knowing Brad was taking care of Mooney. Would highly recommend!”
“Ranae was the best pet sitter we've ever used. I HIGHLY recommend her!! The dogs warmed to her right away, she was great at communicating, sent us adorable pictures of the animals every day, and left the house immaculate. We will use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Weldon Spring Heights is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Weldon Spring Heights
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Weldon Spring Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,521 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Weldon Spring Heights. 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 Weldon Spring Heights 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 Heights 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 Weldon Spring Heights 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 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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
