“Ali was absolutely amazing! I felt very comfortable with leaving him and i knew he would be in good hands from the first day we met her. She took very good care of my puppy. I loved the daily pictures she sent of him. I will definitely use her again and my Polo had a ball! Thanks again Ali!!!”
“Wonderful - took great care of my cat Arya for a week on short notice, and kept me updated with pictures and a note on how she was doing every day while I was gone. 10/10, I know who I’m calling next time I have to leave town!”
“The peace of mind I have when I leave my puppy with Caitlin and Adam is invaluable. We were gone for almost 2 weeks and I never had a single concern. They take such good care of Jet!”
“Once again, Lorri took excellent care of our girl. We were gone 2 weeks & received a text and photo every day reassuring us that all was good back home. We will definitely call on Lorri again! Thank you Lorri!”
“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”
“Jenna was super easy to communicate with and they took great care of our dog! Mo had the best time with them. We are super grateful they were willing to watch our very energetic dog :)”
“Milo had a great stay at Paula’s. She made him feel very comfortable and was also very responsive. I also got his photos while we were away. 😊 Milo will definitely return. Highly recommend Paula if you are looking for a great pet sitter.”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Buddy had a fantastic time with Judith! And I had a great trip knowing that Buddy was being cared for by such a wonderful person as Judith. She sent lots of photos and updates during his 10 day stay. I never had to wonder how it was going. I would highly recommend Judith to watch any dog!”
“Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.”
“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was phenomenal and loved our Taz as if he was her own! We got lots of photos and updates and reassurance that he was adjusting well to his long stay with her. I definitely recommend Katie and will be rebooking!”
“Our golden doodle, Gus LOVES Sally! She takes such good care of him and all the other dogs that come into her care. She sends us pictures of all the fun he’s having while we are away. Thank you so much, Sally! 💕”
“I am very impressed with how well the dog sitting went and how great of care she took care of my dog. The picture updates were wonderful and she did a great job communicating. I could tell my dog was very happy and didn’t want to leave. I would definitely recommend to others as I am very pleased.”
“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Katie was fantastic! She responded to all communications quickly. We received lots of updates and photos of our pup. When it came time to pick up our girl, she had such a great time our pup didn't even care we were there. We will definitely be asking Katie to look after our girl in the future.”
About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.
“We just picked up our pupper, Pepper, after a weekend stay with Lesley. She was able to accommodate us for a last minute booking and took excellent care of her. Pepper loved playing with Lesley’s dogs and came home one happy and tired camper! We’ll definitely be using her again if the need arises.”
“Song took great care of my dog Luca. Got him out on regular breaks and walks. Sent me plenty of photos and updates and really gave Luca special attention. It was obvious he cared for Luca very well.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Affton is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Affton
I’ll be honest, I was nervous using Rover for the first time as my usual dog sitter became unavailable before a big wedding trip — but Vicki was incredible to work with and made any worries quickly melt away. She was patient, reassuring and sent some of the BEST photos I’ve had of my girl running around with the other pups staying with her. On the way home, we were having some major plane problems that delayed our flights. Vicki was incredibly accommodating on watching Athena a little bit longer until we could get back from the airport. I would highly recommend Vicki and Dave as they did awesome with my incredibly sweet — but at-times rambunctious — Athena.
Katie is absolutely wonderful with Abby! She takes such great care of her, and we never have to worry when Abby stays with Katie. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such caring and capable hands. We also really appreciate the daily pictures and updates. It’s always reassuring to see Abby happy, comfortable, and enjoying her time. Katie treats her like one of her own, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pup!
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
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,085 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.
91% 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.
