House Sitting in Bethalto

Gemma was just a GEM! Our pup usually gets so depressed when we leave but she spent time with him, took him on walks and just snuggled him! She kept us posted daily on how he was doing and he was so happy! And he takes meds with a high maintenance food routine but she handled it all like a champ! Highly recommend her and we will use her again!

Latasha was super understanding and flexible when my water went out!

Evelyn was very responsive, gave detailed updates, and was super sweet!!! I’ll definitely be rebooking anytime I can!

It's the little things, for me Haley sends me pictures of my pups. It makes these business trips bearable. She is extremely reliable and respectful of my home.

Riley was wonderful! We were gone for 5 days and I think the pups were a little disappointed when they realized we weren’t Riley coming home! Absolutely will use her in the future!

Blair was great. We met ahead and he took careful notes and got along great with our dog. This was our first time leaving our pup and Blair’s regular photos and updates were so helpful in calming our nerves. We returned to a sweet note, a clean house, and a happy dog!

12-30-25 At 3:17 PM My wife and I traveled 150 miles one way over the past weekend, with our German Shepherd Zeus, to see a show in St. Louis. As we were staying at a hotel near Busch Stadium, we wondered who we might get to "dog sit" Zeus while we were at the show. After accessing reviews on Rover, regarding local dog sitters in downtown St. Louis, we came across the most excellent reviews for Catelyn R. As my wife and I were extremely impressed with Catelyn’s reviews, we contacted her to see if she could “dog sit” Zeus at the hotel we were staying at this past Sunday afternoon/Dec 28. Catelyn agreed. Catelyn R. did an outstanding job during the 5 hours she watched Zeus. She instantly bonded with him. We could tell Zeus was also amazingly comfortable with her. She stayed with Zeus in the room for 5 hours on Sunday afternoon and they got along famously. She sent “picture updates/texts”, while my wife and I were at the show, documenting the fun they were having. My wife and I found this to be most comforting as Zeus is “our number one priority”, a common scenario between pets and their humans. Catelyn also took him for two walks during the same 5-hour time frame in downtown St. Louis and included “picture updates/texts” about the enjoyable time they had walking. My wife and I would highly recommend Catelyn as a dog sitter without hesitation. She is very trustworthy, dependable, honest, and caring. She put Zeus first the whole time she watched him. As our family travels to St. Louis with some frequency, we are so glad we made a new friend, who we trust explicitly to take care of our German Shepherd. Catelyn R. has the family’s highest recommendation. Jon and Gail G.

Alex and his wife did a great job watching our dog, Mack. Mack is epileptic and has a strict med schedule to prevent seizures and clusters. They did a great job keeping to the schedule and Mack went seizure free for the long weekend!

We are very happy with Ranae! She is professional and personable! She was flexible and dependable. She sent pictures and videos of our dog throughout our trip. She followed our instructions to care for our dog. Everything was neat and clean when we returned. Our dog was happy and well cared for by Ranae! We highly recommend Ranae!!

Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!

Natalie house-sat for us and watched our pitbull mix, and our two cats. She did an excellent job and treated our babies like her own. And she did some dishes while we were gone, which was so nice of her!!! We will definitely use her again in the future!

Gabi was outstanding to say the least! We came home after being gone for 7 days and the house was spotless, dogs were well loved and taken care of. She even surprised us with candid photos of our boys as a keepsake. She is definitely recommended and we will be using her again. Oh and this was all on short notice that she accepted the task of 2 12 week old GP pups for 7 days!

Mallory and her boys did a great job with Tulip! Lots of updates on their activities while we were out of town. I'm sure Tulip will miss them!

My Eli took a liking to Vivian right away while I was gone. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions. She left the house just as I left it. Would defintitely hire her again!
