“Deserae was wonderful to work with and took such great care of our pups! We were needing a sitter close to where we were traveling and she was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She has an amazing set up and you can clearly see she loves what she does - gave us peace of mind leaving them in her care. Our dogs were wore out when we picked them up which is always a good sign they had fun and got plenty of play time. Will absolutely use her again if we're in the area!”
“Mallory always does a great job and always has great communication. I can’t say enough good things about her. She makes leaving your pet feel easy and stress free and our pup always has a great time.”
“Nella took such great care of our dog Trip! She provided frequent updates on his stay while we were gone and he came home happy and clearly well cared for. We would definitely rebook with her!”
“Shania is amazing I needed a sitter on a very short notice and she was willing to work with me and take my puppy last minute she sent me updates and pics so I knew he was doing good and even let him cuddle during the night 5/5 stars would definitely recommend her!”
“I’m going to try and keep this short, but I could go on and on about what a wonderful experience I had boarding my cat at his house for 9 days. She is 6 months old and it was our first time leaving her, so we were very nervous K.P.’s (kitten parents). He was very kind and accommodating to our KP energy, and his style of communication throughout her stay was exactly what we needed to wean us off of our overprotective tendencies 😂. I highly recommend Gerrad as a cat caretaker.”
“We love leaving our dog, Princeton, with Lael. She is a lovely person. Princeton gets stressed out at a regular kennel, but with Lael, he comes home happy and relaxed every time.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a kid, im really considerate of everyone’s time and need of there own time I can help and do anything you may ask even give the pet medicine if that is what is needed I have 4 cats and they are very well trained and loveable. I also help out around the neighborhood in pet sitting so I pretty much know what you will expect of me and I’ll make sure it happens. I give them baths, brush them, feed them, walk them, I’m very calm and time proficient and know what to do in case of emergency
About: Experienced, loving pet caregiver providing reliable care for dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and overnight stays with daily photo updates and love I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pet. I can do in-house sitting. Doggy day care at my place or do on-site visits as per requirements. I always take dogs out on leash whether it’s walk or my backyard. Also, I have camera in living room to make sure pet is safe.
About: I've had dogs my entire life! My first pup that was actually mine was a Great Dane named Mazie. So I've definitely had experience with big dogs and am pretty comfortable with them. I've also owned pit bulls that ended up having puppies so I've been able to experience the complete dog journey from newborn to final bark. ( :( ) I do work full time but am able to do a drop-in during my lunch hour if needed. I'm also available most nights and weekends! I do work full time on the south side, but I get a one hour lunch break and can let your pet out or go on walks during that time! My evenings and weekends are generally free to help with pet care! I don’t have a fence, but I have a nice full yard and my dog Laney is super friendly and will keep your pup company!
About: Walking, bathing, and hanging out with dogs is some of my favorite downtime activities. Growing up with a dog I learned all the necessary skills to watch over a dog. I even volunteered at the humane society in both the dog and cat area for four years! I am currently a teacher so I work from 7-4pm Monday through Friday, but if you need someone to walk your dog at night or house sit for the weekend or even a week night, I am your person! My husband also works from home so if you’re boarding during the week day he is also here to help out if needed. Whatever you need me to do is what I will follow. I will come to your place as my animals do not take well to strangers. But rest assured I will take great care of your animal, in whatever capacity you need. At our home we two cats that do well with other dogs but tend to ignore them, and one dog who LOVES other dogs so no worries there.
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was little. I have watched and feed firiends and neighbors dogs and cats. Dogs and cats are fun to have around as each has its own personality. I do work full time but afternoons, nights and weekends are available to help with your fur baby. I can be flexible with some of the services. I do have pets in the home to help keep your fur baby company. I will walk and play with your fur baby to endure to keep your fur baby busy.
“Stefanie was wonderful with my two dogs! She made them part of her family and gave them lots of love and cuddles. She sent me updates and pictures throughout their stay. I will definitely book with Stefanie again!”
About: Hi! I’m Alex. I used to work as a vet tech in California, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of needs. I’m especially patient with puppies who are still learning the routine and with senior pets who need a little extra love and support. I can help with things like giving meds, watching for health changes, and adjusting to whatever makes them most comfortable. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Whether that’s playing, doing a little training, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m here for it. Your fur baby will always be treated like family with me. 🐾💛 As a college student, I plan pet care around my schedule feeding before/after classes, playtime between study sessions, and cleaning and errands on weekends or free days. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I do my best to help pets feel safe and relaxed. I take things slow so they can warm up and get comfortable. I keep their space clean, make sure water and food are always fresh, and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. Since I used to be a vet tech, I’m confident giving meds and keeping an eye out for anything unusual. I’ll always keep you updated so you know how they’re doing!
“OH MY GOSH - we could not have been more thankful to have Ashley as our rover. Everything was so simple and she made leaving our pup a lot easier. She stayed in constant communication and sent all the best pictures. We felt so comfortable the whole time we were gone. Not to mention, has the sweetest golden retriever that Sophie Grace got to become best friends with!!! There’s no doubt we will continue to book with her!!!”

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Albatross 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 Albatross 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 Albatross.
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.

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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
