About: I used to have two dogs: a German Shepherd and a Pug. I also had two cats. My friend took them in when I moved and I still get to see them regularly. They were the most loving dogs and cats I could have ever asked for. I love animals and will treat your pet like it’s my own! I work from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays, but I’m always available after work and on weekends to take care of your pet. I can provide your pet with all the attention they require. I reside in an apartment with ample outdoor space, but I’ll take them for walks whenever necessary.
“We love Erika! She takes such great care of Wylie and he adores her! She was especially accommodating this weekend when we had an unexpected medical emergency. Thank you, Erika! We appreciate your love and care for our golden boy!”

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life, including both dogs and cats. My family has had a Goldendoodle and a Golden Retriever, so I'm very comfortable caring for dogs and understanding their different personalities and needs. I've also gained experience dog sitting for a breeder who raises and trains hunting dogs, which has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments. I love spending time with animals and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, or keeping them company, I want every pet to feel happy and comfortable while their owner is away. I'm currently a full-time college student, but my class schedule gives me plenty of free time throughout the day and in the evenings. I have a lot of flexibility between and after classes, making it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I always make their safety and comfort a top priority. I make sure to follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their normal routine, so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I also make sure to keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
About: I've had 2 shih tzus (who recently both passed away at almost 16 years old), so I love small dogs (and any and all sweet pups!) I also have a calico cat, who is very sweet. Any pet who stays with us should be cat-tolerant, and also they should be OK with kids. I also have 2 kids (a 7 year old and toddler) who love animals. Please, no aggressive animals, as we do not have experience. House trained pets, please. I work from home, and I am almost always home, except for errands, to take my kids to extra circular classes. We are never out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced backyard, but there are steps to go down it. Pets can roam freely at the house. We can also crate your pet if they are more comfortable sleeping in the crate. But they are free to jump on couches, beds, and furniture. We have baby gates to keep pets out of unsafe areas.
“Shelly was easy to communicate with, had a nice yard for our (high energy) pups, did a meet and greet before they stayed for a week, and made drop off and pick up easy. Thank you, Shelly!”


“Francie was an excellent sitter. She maintained communication and sent me pictures of my babies daily. I am so grateful to have found someone as caring and compassionate as her to care for my fur babies”

“Cynthia and Robert were great taking care of my doggies. Cynthia is very responsive and makes sure all the dogs needs are met. She’s great in sending photos and updates every day. Her family is great also. I can tell that my dogs had a good time. I will definitely be using their boarding services again.”


“Christina did a very good job watching my dog Bernie. She did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing throughout the stay. She was good with communication too and very flexible to my schedule. She had a great yard for him to release all that energy. I would recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I grew up around dogs and spent four years volunteering at an animal shelter in college, where I worked with dogs of every size, energy level, and temperament—including shy, anxious, and reactive pups who needed extra patience. Today I'm a dog mom to Coco, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I keep routines consistent, follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work a full-time consulting job with a flexible, project-based schedule, so I open bookings by date rather than every week. When I'm available, your dog gets my full attention—no hours alone in a crate. My Rover calendar is always kept current, so if a date shows open, I'm truly available. I'm happy to do a meet & greet before any first stay. My home in Webster Groves is a quiet house with a fenced backyard, and the landscaping was planned with dog-safe plants. I host one family's dogs at a time, so your pup is never in a crowd. My dog Coco is a 30 lb mixed breed who is gentle and easygoing with other dogs—she'll play for a bit, then happily nap and give your pup space. She's a little shy with new people, so meet & greets are relaxed and low-pressure. I require a meet & greet before every new stay, walk on leash only, double-check gates and doors, and keep your vet's info and an emergency plan on hand.
“Quinton was a very nice host to my fur baby! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in the photos he sent. Communicaton from him was definitely top tier. I’d definitely book again :)”

“Sophia did such a great job caring for my Franklin. He had the best weekend going for walks and playing fetch in her fenced in yard! Sophia was great with communication and so easy to work with!”

“Our medium size spayed female was very comfortable with Lindsey's pets & pet guests for a 2-week stay. We would absolutely use Lindsey again, she'll be our first call.”

“Leah was great! She took my dog in last minute and took amazing care of him! She made sure she knew exactly how to care for him and was very accommodating on caring for him a little longer than anticipated due to my traveling delays!”

“Catherine is amazing!!!!!!! My baby had a ball she was so tired when we got home. It’s so hard to find people good with bigger dogs. She is our new dog sitter for sure. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Amy and Carl took such great care of my dog. It was our first time using Rover, let alone leaving her with someone outside of our family, so we were definitely nervous since she can be a bit anxious. But they were both so patient and kind with her that she warmed up to them really quickly. Amy was also amazing about sending daily updates and pictures, which we always looked forward to while we were on vacation. I’m really glad we chose Amy over traditional boarding and would absolutely book with them again in the future!”

“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”

“Ross took amazing care of our golden retriever while we were out of the country for two weeks. He sent daily updates and photos and I could tell she was so well loved and cared for! Definitely recommend Ross to take care of your pup.”

The median cost per night for pet boarding in Affton is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Affton
Vicki and Dave were fantastic! We did a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease. During the weekend stay, Vicki was incredibly responsive and sent updates along with daily photos, which I truly appreciated. My pup had a great time running around their backyard with the other dogs and soaking up the sun. It’s clear they take wonderful care of the dogs in their home, and I would definitely book with them again!

My kitty was at Jennifer‘s home for three weeks while I traveled. Felix adapted very well to the four caretakers as well as the other kitties either living or being boarded in the home. I received regular updates via rover.com as well as WhatsApp. I will definitely use Jennifer and her team again without hesitation because of the exemplary care my Kat received.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
