“Our 8 year old morkie had a blast with Judith during his 9 day stay with her. We loved getting updates on his stay multiple times per day, everyday. We forgot some parts of his food and Judith was nice enough to provide us with some healthy toppers for our pup’s meals. The environment and excitement provided by the neighborhood animal crew added for some great and safe entertainment for our dog. Would highly recommend!”
“Sonja was amazing. She took such a good care of our Teddy. She made sure he felt comfortable,since he gets very shy with unfamiliar people. Sonja did daily update with pictures,and that was huge relief for us knowing he is in such good hands. Definitively we will use Sonja's service in future.”
“This is the third time we have left our dog with Paula and she is always wonderful with him! She is kind and I trust her with our “baby” completely! She sends us pictures and doesn’t hesitate to reach out if she has a question or concern!”
“I will continue to use Brian and Abigail. They are such sweet people and take such good care of Duke. We were on vacation for over 7 days and while I missed Duke a lot, I knew he was in good hands.”
“Lucy was amazing! Her dog Penne was really tolerant of my 11 month old playful, never ending dog! Lucy was perfect when situations came up (marking, whining at night) she didn’t make me feel bad about them (which I already do feel bad already leaving my dog with someone because he’s a lot of work-energetic puppy) and handled them great. Louis my dog came home and adapted well with no behavior issues in transition back to home which tells me he had boundaries and was well loved during his stay with Lucy! She was amazing!”
“Walter and Maddie were great! They were very warm and welcoming to our old lady, and their two dogs are very sweet. They provided daily updates and good communication. Our dog had some overnight accidents and they were very understanding and worked with us via messaging to address her needs. We were very comfortable and confident that our pup was in good hands.”
“I hesitate to leave this review only because I want to keep Lorri for myself! She was so good with our dog! Winnie is blind and due to this has separation anxiety when we leave her and a little generalized anxiety in new situations. Within a day, Lorri had her wearing a cute little sweater to keep warm on walls (which Winnie refuses to wear for me), had her cuddling on the couch and even took her for walks in a store! I know Winnie was comfortable with her because she was clearly relaxed in the many photos and videos we got while we were away. Lorri is the best!”
“Laronna has taken care of Sadie twice and is really good with her. She sends pictures of how she is doing during her stay. I'm more anxious than Sadie. Thank-you for taking good care of her. Donna C”
“This was my first time using Dave. What a wonderful couple. I felt completely comfortable giving MiKi to him for four days. We had a meet and greet and MiKi took right to him. As soon as we got there she ran to him like she knew him. He is a great dog person. You can tell his wife and him really loves animals. I will definitely use them again!!”
“Jennifer was an absolutely amazing boarder for our cat Myko! ?⬛ We have never had to do a long term board before, and never had someone had to keep him at their house with other cats before. Jennifer sent daily messages about Myko and we always knew how he was doing. She was responsive when he needed time away from the other cats (but surprisingly, it was usually the other cats who wanted space from him- haha!), and honest about how he was settling in, which we really appreciated. She ended up keeping him for us for 6 weeks, and we never had to worry about him throughout that time. We also never knew how he’d do with other cats, since we only have a dog, and it was great to know that he enjoyed chasing and snuggling up with other cats. We would definitely recommend Jennifer to our friends or anyone else looking for good cat care. Thank you so much for making what has been a stressful time for us personally so much less so, knowing our little guy was in good hands!”
“Sarah is the best! She took such great care of my pup while I was on vacation and was super understanding and accommodating when flights delays got me home a day late. Thank you Sarah!”
“I could tell Ruby enjoyed her time with Laura and her family! Laura was great with communication and sending photos and videos. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Julia is awesome! Our dog is very shy and sensitive, and I was so worried to leave her for 2 weeks. But Julia took great care of her and sent us daily picture to comfort the nervous owner. And I saw our dog Mango was getting comfortable and relaxed every day. Also our flight got cancelled and there was a chance that we might need to pick her up at the midnight and Julia said that was totally fine. She was very responsive and easy to talk with. We really appreciate and we will definitely come back to her for the next trip.”
“Ebony was great with my baby!! She was very attentive and sent numerous photos of him throughout the day and during his stay. She was very sweet and provided alot of information. I would book with her again.”
“Ali treated our dogs like her own and was very attentive to their individual needs. She sent message and photos throughout the stay and set our minds at ease that they were happy and healthy. We will definitely be using her again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved Shih Tzu, Miki, to the exceptional care of Mandi. From start to finish, Mandi's genuine love for animals made me feel immediately at ease. Mandi's dedication to providing the best possible care for pets is truly commendable. I was particularly impressed by the ramp she built, allowing dogs to climb into her bed. This thoughtful addition showcases her commitment to accommodating furry friends and ensuring their utmost comfort. Mandi also introduced Miki to her own adorable dog, Odie. The chemistry between them was incredible! Watching Miki and Odie play and bond was so adorable. Mandi's took the time to understand Miki's unique needs, ensuring that she received personalized care and attention. I felt at ease knowing that Mandi was looking after Miki, and it allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. I am thrilled to have found such an exceptional pet sitter, and I can confidently say that I will be using Mandi's services again in the future. Her passion for animals shines through in everything she does, and it is evident that she treats each pet as if they were her own. If you're in need of a pet sitter who goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Mandi. She is a true gem, and I am grateful for the peace of mind she provided during my absence. Thank you, Mandi, for your outstanding care and dedication to Miki. You have earned my highest recommendation, and I wish you continued success in your pet-sitting endeavors.”
“Leslie has watched our two dogs on a couple of occasions and we couldn’t be happier with her care! She sends us entertaining stories during the dogs’ stay, including pictures, so we feel delightfully informed about their stay while we’re away. Leslie has been so accommodating when we’ve needed to book a last minute stay and we can always tell the dogs have been lovingly cared for in our absence. Highly recommend Leslie, she has an extraordinary gift with dogs!”

We have been using Erica for a few years now to watch our dog, Margie. We last left Margie with Erica for 2 weeks with an injured leg and Erica was able to manage our dog, her injury, and administer her meds, and by the time we got back, Margie wasn't limping any more! Thank you for taking such good care of Margie! Kristina
Nicole and Tim do great with our dog. She ran straight up to the door on drop off and was excited to see them again! Nicole and Tim send frequent updates and pictures and we feel very comfortable that all her needs are met. Would recommend to others looking for someone to care for their pets.
Vicki is AMAZING! I’ve never received so many updates and photos from anyone on this app until now. I appreciate the multiple check ins and the overall prompt communication! Remi is so tired, which means he’s played a lot and had a whole lot of fun! I highly highly recommend Vicki for any of your sitter needs.
Sally is the best.dog.caregiver ever!! She loves our little poodle Zosha and Zosha can't wait to have a vacay at Sally's house! She walks her every day, and Zosha loves to lay across her legs in the evening on the sofa. She also sends us pictures of Zosha everyday and lets us know how she is doing. Sally is so loving to the dogs she watches - we are so happy to have found her and Zosha is a regular visitor in her home. Thank you Sally - you are the best!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Affton on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,071 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Affton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Affton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Affton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Affton home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 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 .
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.
