About: I love dogs with all my heart. I am a new dog owner, but I am no stranger to dog care as I took care of my friends dog for a night and on other occasions. I have around 9 months of experience of taking care of my puppy. I have trained him in some of the basic commands and sometimes I love to make doggy treats for him. I am a recent graduate of highschool and will be home for most of the time. I will be able to take care of your dog anytime required. I have a temporary fence setup in my backyard along with a spacious basement. I have an extra bed if required for your pet along with extra blankets. If you would want your pet to be in a specific area of the house, there are extra fences that can be used. I will be able to monitor your dogs routine and needs. I will pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other needs you put in. I will make sure to give regular updates through photos or calls.
“This was the first time Lorri watched our mini schnauzer, Albus. He settled in very well at her house and she took great care of him. Lots of walks, a car ride, spoiled with treats, and plenty of birds and squirrels for him to watch out of the window! Lorri sent us updates and pictures every day which really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away from Albus. I definitely recommend Lorri, I know it was a great "vacation" for Albus at her house!”
“Our pet was boarded with Dawn for 3 nights and I got periodic updates on how our pet was doing along with pictures.Really great relief knowing our pet was in loving ,caring hands. Drop off & pickup went smoothly,received regular communication & reminders from Dawn.”
About: I’ve watched dogs for several of my friends and family in the past and have decided to take my care pet scratches to others in need. I’m currently a personal trainer. So I’ll have afternoons to come home and let the pups out. And I’m there for several hours at a time. I like to walk so they will get exercise in. I have a fenced in back yard. So the dogs will have plenty of space to run and play. They have a pond to drink from.
“Myndee and family were great with our older dog. Lovely updates to keep us connected. Super understanding when we had a delayed return They are our Go To family for doggie boarding.”
“Melinda was great with Sonny. She listened to me as I explained my dog's needs since he is an older dog. Despite not having a fence she explained how she keeps the dogs under her care safe. I would rebook with Melinda again.”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter! I knew from the moment we had our meet and greet that Winston was going to be in good hands! For six nights, our dog was in a lovely home and was well cared for. Amy took him on regular walks and sent pictures to show us how happy and at home he was! I highly recommend Amy and plan to use her services in the future!”
“Carly was so welcoming and took such great care of our Ella. Loved that she even took photos so we could see how happy she was! Would definitely use again!! Thank you again Carly!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Charlie. The frequent updates, photos, and videos helped so much to put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for all you did to go above and beyond over a holiday weekend.”
“Sammy always comes home very happy from Alicia's family home. We appreciate her communications and photo updates. I'm sure Sammy will be excited about his next visit and spending time with her dog, Jet. Thank you, Alicia!”
“Anusha & her family were great! They were very welcoming and attentive when I dropped off my dog, Holly. Anusha clarified all the instructions and arrangements that we had discussed. Holly has some meds and a special diet and they stuck to everything. She was in frequent contact with updates and photos while I was away. Anusha and her family made boarding Holly easy and stress free! I would highly recommend boarding with them!”
“I don't have enough words to thank Ursula and her husband for the wonderful care they provided for our dog, Cocoa. They sent me lots of pictures every day, which gave me peace of mind and showed just how happy and comfortable Cocoa was in their home. She also seemed to really enjoy the company of their dog. I could tell Cocoa was well cared for because she was actually sad when we brought her back home from Ursula's house! I was looking for someone who would treat her like a member of the family, and I was a little nervous about leaving her there since it was the first time we had ever been apart. However, I can confidently say that Ursula and her husband cared for Cocoa as if she were their own. I am so grateful for their kindness and dedication, and I will definitely be using Ursula again in the future.”
“Our pups seemed to thoroughly enjoy their staycation and received excellent care! We appreciated the updates and pictures, and smooth drop off / pickup! Highly recommend and would love to stay again :)”
“It was a delight meeting Jennifer M. I am so glad we chose her service for our little old man. Jennifer is very polite and was great with not only taking care of our dog but also sending updates and pictures. She was very flexible with the drop off and pick up time and made sure our baby gets to know her and her family well. Her home is very clean, and welcoming. Our dog had fun walking in the neighborhood making new friends and he was very happy looking when we got him back . I would not go anywhere else as long as she is available. I would give her 100/100z”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Jennine from our first meet and greet, I felt a sense of trust and comfort. She took the time to get to know him and his quirks she provided daily photos of Remy having fun and looking content and relaxed. I highly recommend Jennine to anyone in need of a caring, responsible dog sitter. Thank you for caring for our precious pooch. I will definitely be re-booking.”

Tom is our go to dog sitter. We seem to always have travel changes and he never hesitates to be super flexible and accommodating. Tom and his family always take such good care of our girl. It is such a huge relief knowing she is getting so much love and care! Can’t recommend him enough!
Angela and her family have quickly become our go-to dog sitters, and we truly cannot recommend them highly enough! 🐾❤️ Chewy just spent 4 nights and 5 days with their amazing family, and as always, we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Angela regularly sends updates and pictures, and it is so obvious from every message and photo that Chewy is treated like one of their own. He isn’t just being boarded—he is welcomed into their home and daily lives and showered with love and attention. We loved seeing pictures of Chewy playing with Gracie and sweet little Lily, going on walks, and enjoying all the affection, companionship, and care that every dog deserves. You can genuinely feel how much Angela and her family love the dogs they care for. Chewy always comes home happy, relaxed, and well-loved, which says everything. Knowing he is receiving so much attention and affection allows us to enjoy our time away without worry. We are so thankful to have found Angela and her family, and they have absolutely become our first call whenever we need someone to care for our boy. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Angela and her family are simply the best, and Chewy already can’t wait for his next stay! 🐶❤️
Kathryn and her family did a great job caring for my dog Murphy. We had an initial meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit for the dogs and they sent lots of updates and photos so I could feel confident Murphy was being well taken care of. Murphy had a great time and I would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Kari is just the best! She always takes such great care of Winnie, and it’s so evident in how excited Winnie gets when we drop her off. She always looks so comfortable and happy in all of the pictures Kari sends, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s always such a great feeling knowing Winnie is in the best hands!!
Blanca is the absolute best!!! She took amazing care of my dog Oscar. I loved all the pictures, videos, and updates she sent me during his stay. The communication was great and she was very flexible with the drop off and pick up times. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ballwin on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,076 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ballwin. 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 Ballwin 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 Ballwin 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 Ballwin 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 Ballwin.
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 Ballwin 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.
