“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“Lucy was fantastic! From the start, her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated throughout my dog's stay with thoughtful messages and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. She was clearly experienced, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I felt completely confident in her abilities the entire time, which made it much easier to enjoy my trip. I would absolutely book with Lucy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter. Thank you, Lucy, for taking such great care of my pup!”

She is very kind, friendly, and has a lovely backyard where our dog had a great time playing with her dog. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Reema and would be happy to leave our dog with her again in the future. Thank you so much! 😊🐾💕”

“Rachael did SUCH an amazing job taking care of Scooby! She had excellent communication and I loved the updates she sent. Scooby can be a bit anxious and reactive with other dogs and Rachael was great with her. I could tell Scooby had a great time and would have happily stayed longer!”

Nicole & Tim did a 10/10 job taking care of Lemon for us. I received multiple updates every day and TONS of photos. I was never worried about Lemon in their care and was able to fully relax on my trip. We couldn’t be happier with how they took care of Lemon and will absolutely be using them again. They are wonderful!
Katie is such a reliable, proactive, and professional sitter. We always have complete peace of mind whenever we leave our dogs in her care. She takes such great care of them and makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Honestly, sometimes we worry our dogs don’t even want to come home because they’re having so much fun at Katie’s! We couldn’t recommend her enough.
This is our first time using Judy as our sitter and she was fantastic. She is very easy to work with and truly cares about the dogs she watches. We enjoyed our vacation knowing our little dachshund was given five star treatment. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Affton is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Affton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Affton home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Affton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Affton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
