“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Taylor! We were a bit nervous at first since Steven has only ever stayed with one other person before, but Taylor immediately put us at ease. She was so warm, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We loved getting daily updates and pictures—it was obvious Steven was having a great time. He looked so happy in every photo, and honestly, a little sad when it was time for him to go! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust, and we’d absolutely book with Taylor again.”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Ashley was incredible while I left my dog for two weeks and went to Europe! I had so much peace of mind knowing she was there and the photos and videos she sent were great! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else take care of my dog. Seriously the best!”
“Noreen & family work very hard to make my dog comfortable when he stays there. Though he is always nervous when I leave him the pictures she sends assure me that he settles down and is comfortable. Always gets walks even though they also have fenced yard.”
“Cali's stay with Maddie could not have gone more perfectly. Maddie could not have been nicer, sent pictures and communicated every day, and has an absolutely ideal setup with her yard in a cute neighborhood.”
“Leslie took such good care of our pup. He had never been away from home before so this was so out of his comfort zone but she took such good care of him. Would love for her to be one go-to dog sitter.”
“Madilynn was AMAZING! I Highly recommend her to anyone needing somewhere loving for their furry family member. From the moment I contacted her she was quick to respond, kind, and accommodating! She updated us regularly with videos and photos. We will be using Madilynn in the future.”
“Lona and Alan took such great care of my Goldendoodle! They were very kind, stayed in touch with regular updates and pictures, and were super responsive anytime I checked in. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Cici! We needed a sitter on very short notice while we were out of town for our wedding weekend, and she was so kind and accommodating. She took excellent care of Cici and kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her kids were also so sweet and gentle with Cici, and it was clear she felt comfortable and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“MacKenzie was awesome! My Nova girl can be a little high maintenance and MacKenzie made sure she was well taken care of. She even sent me pictures. I will definitely book with her again”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life! 🐾 I grew up with dogs from the time I was five years old, and my parents raised Boxer puppies throughout much of my childhood, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. As an adult, I’ve continued to have dogs of my own, including my Yorkie who has been by my side for the past 12 years. I truly believe our pets are family, and I’m always thoughtful about their individual needs, routines, personalities and comfort. When your dog is in my care, I’ll treat them just like I would want someone to treat my own—with lots of love, attention, patience and affection. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, companionship or just someone who makes them feel safe while you’re away, their needs will always come first. ❤️🐶 I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to provide your fur baby with plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime and snuggles throughout the day. 🐾 I also teach a few classes at a local gym, so there may be short periods when I’m away, but I always make sure pups are taken care of before I leave and as soon as I return. Weekends are especially flexible for me, and weekday availability can vary. I’m happy to discuss your pup’s routine and needs before booking to make sure their schedule is a great fit with mine. ❤️ Your fur baby’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. ❤️ I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with my own sweet Yorkie, so any pups staying in my home should be friendly and comfortable around other dogs. I want both your pup and mine to feel safe, relaxed and happy together. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs, and I’ll follow your instructions closely. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, snuggles or just relaxing nearby, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and are treated just like family. 🐾💕
“Ramon dog sat for my pup for two weeks and it was a wonderful experience! We did a meet-and-greet before my booking to make sure my dog was a good fit with his, and Ramon was very thoughtful and tuned in to my dog from the very beginning. While I was gone Ramon sent me photos, videos, and updates about my pup. By the end of the stay my dog and Ramon's dog Dante were great friends. Through the whole process Ramon was communicative, responsive, flexible, and it's clear he really cares about the dogs he brings into his home. I had such peace of mind knowing Olly was with Ramon and Dante. We'll definitely book again!”
“This is the first time we’ve used a service like Rover and had such a great experience with Rhonda that we will never board our dog at a kennel again. Rhonda and her family were so kind and took great care of our dog. She sent pics and videos and we could see how happy our dog was and how well she was being cared for. We will definitely be contacting Rhonda again!!!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’ve always been drawn to animals in some way. I have a 3 year old dog and a 2 year old cat. I volunteered at Kcpetproject as a dog walker and helper, which they required me to take a dog handling class. I also had an internship at a vet clinic where I shadowed and treated animals. Allow me to make this transition as easy as possible and care for your pets needs! I currently work mornings throughout the week. However, I have flexibility and can leave work to let your dog out and my husband will sometimes be home while I’m working. Most of the time I am home all day on weekends. I will treat your home and pet as my own! When walking your dog I will pick up after him/her and give them lots of snuggles after! I will be sure to lock up and notify you when check in or dog walking is complete! I can also provide a kennel when needed.
“Alex and Jacquelynne took real good care of our dogs Zuri and Skye. Gave us updates everyday on how they were doing. Appreciated all the pictures and videos.”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a dog person. I love them, and they love me. I’ve have had dogs all my life. Im retired and I travel, and it just became too expensive to take care of my own dog. I thought about fostering dogs, but knew I would end up wanting to keep them. This seemed like the perfect answer…I love to walk, and walk all over the city… so just combining my two loves… walking and dogs. Im retired, but very active, and completely flexible to accommodate your schedule. I volunteer at the Kauffman Performing Arts Center. Caring for pets and the Kauffman Center are my primary obligations. I’m in an apartment, so we would take walks. I would quickly get to know their personality. I would play and be affectionate with your dog.
“Great! I could tell that my dog enjoyed himself and wasnt too stressed. Since he has severe separation anxiety, I was a bit nervous that he wouldnt do good being away for so long but she took great care of him! Will definition be using her again!”

I always feel like my dog gets so much love, attention, and exercise when she’s here. She loves coming back and we continue rebooking because Dominic is so attentive and keeps me updated with everything. If I were you, I would trust that my dog will be well taken care of while here.
Left my anxious lil Dachshund with Taylor for a few days and he seemed to open up immediately. From our check-ins, it sounds like he managed to find all the soft spots in the house and got to socialize a little bit too. I can tell Earl really enjoyed himself because he has moped around the house since getting back, which is always the case when he's had a fun outing. Taylor was also very easy to communicate with and did a great job of periodically sending pictures of Earl and his new adventures around her home. Would definitely use her services again!
Joseph was awesome, and I already have our fur baby's next stay with him booked! Great and timely communicator when setting up the stay, and I appreciated the photos and videos during our trip. I could tell our dog was comfortable and happy staying with Joseph and that he truly loves dogs. Thanks, Joseph! Ruth can't wait for her next vacay.
Wonderful communication and care. I had my own anxiety about the other dogs during drop off, but the great little pack and a caring human exceeded my expectations. When I picked up Rosie, I could tell she was happy to see me, but also relaxed and content. She can get stressed easily as a velcro pitty, so this makes it clear that she loved her stay. Thank you for the pictures, check ins, and taking such great care of Rosie.
April was awesome! She was very flexible and accommodating with our need for an earlier drop off. She took very good care of Vito and he played and had a good time. She even sent him home with a toy, his favorite out of her toy box 💝🐾. We would definitely use her again in the future.
We contacted Abigail when we were traveling through the area and needed our pups to have care for two days and 1 night while our family explored. We originally planned to drop them off at a local boarding facility, but thought they’d do better in a quieter environment. Abigail was available for a last minute booking, was super communicative the entire time, sent lots of pictures and updates, was very knowledgeable about our dog breed and dogs in general, had lots of things for them to do at her home and made sure to ask all kinds of questions beforehand so that her home, etc. was set up best for their care. We would definitely use her again if the need arose. Our first experience doing this kind of booking couldn’t have been smoother! Thanks Abigail!
Adam and Kirsten were absolutely amazing with Bruno! He was already limping before we dropped him off, and they took such great care of him and made sure to keep an eye on him the entire time. They sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The best part was picking Bruno up. He came home so happy and in such great spirits. It was obvious he was loved and well cared for. I would 1,000% recommend Adam and Kirsten to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!
It is very clear the love Elizabeth had for our dogs while watching them. She set photo updates and checked in with us on any questions. It stormed while she watched our dogs and she was very tentative to our dog with storm anxiety! I will definitely be asking Elizabeth if she will watch our fur kiddos again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Avondale 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 Avondale.
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 Avondale 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.
