About: I’ve not gone most of my life without pets in my life and I understand how much they mean to us. I have had plenty of friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they are out, so I’ve been able to deal with pups of most ages! I am home from college this summer and am looking for something to fill my free time! I have a very open and flexible schedule during the weekend and weekdays as of right now, so taking care of any pets shouldn’t be a problem as I am only a part time employee! I have a very energetic dog myself so I know what is needed to keep him entertained. I can crate your dog if needed/ when specified. For my dog, I make sure he takes his medications on time and I can do the same for any other pups. I make sure all meals are given out on time and treats given wisely but generously if allowed.
“Charity was amazing! She stepped in and helped us when we needed someone to come and take care of our dogs last minute. She showed care for our home, make sure the dogs were cleaned up a little bit after having a muddy time outside, and just show them love and care while taking care of them! We will definitely be using charity again !”
“She was great! My cat ate a string and she was able to watch him last minute so I could attend a birthday dinner without worrying that something would happen while I was gone. Her diligence and cute updates gave me peace of mind that my baby was okay 💕”
“Kyle was exactly the type of sitter we were looking for. We found him so personable, friendly and loved our puppies. He did an excellent job and will use him again. This was our first time using River and we were thrilled with this service. Of course Kyle made it a great experience for us and the puppies.”
“Kacy is fabulous! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and felt so comfortable with her friendly and positive energy. She is such an animal lover. She took care of our babies by house sitting while we were away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates a day, and really put our minds at ease. We are so so so thankful. We had no doubt that they were in such caring hands! Highly recommend!”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
About: I am a soccer player at MTSU who loves all animals, especially dogs. I have two pups of my own back home and they are my best friends. I have first hand experience as a pet owner, and do well with all types of dogs. I previously did house visits for friends and neighbors. One of my dogs at home is 18 years old, and while I love him so much, I understand the difficulties of having a senior dog. I can’t wait to meet some new pets! I am currently a member of the women’s soccer team. We practice early in the morning on weekdays and are off on weekends. I have a teammate with a dog who my friends and I often walk and spend time with. When I am home, I spend everyday with my pups walking, feeding, and snuggling. I am capable of crating, feeding, and walking dogs. I make sure to lock all doors and notify clients as I arrive and depart the service. While my service is short, I like to make the most of it so the dogs can enjoy it as much as I do!
“Marissa was so lovely and will definitely be booking with her again! She stayed at our home and watched our sweet cat Rosie for us while on vacation. She sent us lots of cute pics throughout our trip and kept our baby on the same routine while we were away. She also kept our house in amazing condition. Would recommend her to anyone!😊”
“Marie was such a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats, they absolutely loved her! They were so content when I got home, I know she took great care of them. She sent me so many pictures of them too which I greatly appreciated. I can’t thank her enough for catsitting for me and will no doubt ask her back anytime!!”
“Donovan is awesome! He asked a lot of questions beforehand to create a great experience while caring for my dog. He kept me informed, sent pics and really made me feel like my baby was in great hands. Several times he went above and beyond. For example, our treats were running low so he offered to pick up some! I highly recommend him!”

“Alex was a pleasure to have in the house. He took good care of our two dogs and sent pictures almost everyday. The house was left tidy. I would love to have Alex back in the future to house and pet sit again.”
About: I've grown up around animals. Ive wanted a cat since I knew they existed, and since getting my first cat, I've taught him to sit, sit pretty, high five, and jump through hoops. Currently fostering a second with a compromised immune system, so I am no stranger to anxious pets, or pets with a complex care system. I work a part time job and have classes from 10 am - 215 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ive got my own cats, so ill spend at least hour and a half or so each day spending time with them and doing chores at home, anything else is free time to spend with your pet. Ive got lots of energy to play with your dog and love to cuddle. I can keep a steady schedule with food, bathroom, play, etc. Also able and willing to do routine hygiene like tooth brushing, baths, and other grooming procedures.

Kyra did a great job looking after our pup! She was flexible with times making sure that our dog got his medicine and the care he needed! Most importantly she made sure she took care of our pup as if we were there with him and that was the biggest relief off our shoulders being away from him. We will continue to book with her!!
My baby is very weary of new people and takes time to warm up, but you let him do that on his own and eventually he was able to snuggle with you while I was away! Thank you for all the pictures and videos so I knew my baby was happy!! I appreciate you staying with him so he could feel safe at home!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wentzville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wentzville on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 894 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wentzville. 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 Wentzville 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 Wentzville 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 Wentzville 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.

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.
