“My dog, Milo, had a great stay with Misty and her family. She was quick to answer any of my questions or check ins during his stay and took pictures. Milo looked very happy and seemed to be in good spirits and well taken care of when I picked him up. I felt very comfortable leaving Milo in Misty’s care and will definitely use her again should Milo need care in the future.”
“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!”
“Blake was AMAZING! He took my same-day booking when I had to travel last minute and my usual sitter fell through 🩷 it was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Woods with someone he didn’t know so I was nervous, but I got videos and updates throughout each day! Both me and Woods had a great experience and I’ll 100% be reaching out Blake in the future”
“Dawn was so awesome sending me photos and updates. She clearly loves animals and is very professional and nice. Her dog is really sweet. My dog was a total jerk the whole time and peed and pooped in her house and she was really nice about it. I felt so bad! Highly recommend.”
“Carly, Doug and their family did a fantastic job watching our active yellow lab Auggie for ten days while we were on a family vacation. They provided regular updates and photos of Auggie, which allowed us to know that he was in good hands. I highly recommend contacting Carly and Doug, if you need a sitter for your furry friend”
“We used her twice within a month for our mini bernedoodle! Bear was excited to go back the second time and ran inside. He was tired when he got home, a sure sign he had a good time.”
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.
“This was my wife and I’s first time booking with Alycia and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Alycia and her partner, Derek, were so welcoming and friendly, Thor seemed instantly comfortable in their home. Alycia provided thorough updates throughout Thor’s stay and was such a pleasure to communicate with. We will definitely be booking again and would absolutely recommend to others.”
“Ursula is wonderful! She’s super communicative and paid so much attention to what our dogs needed to feel comfortable in her home with her sweet dog. We are so grateful she took such great care of Polly and Benji!”
“Melissa and family kept us constantly updated with our pup during her stay and were incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed and pivoted to doing a drop off. We cannot thank them enough for their care of her.”
“Anusha and her family gave Juney the most loving experience while I was away on vacation. Gave me the peace of mind to enjoy time away knowing Juney was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Jennine and Berry are incredibly responsible and caring sitters. Our dog Cookie stayed with them for 9 days while my husband and I were out of town, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care they provided. Jennine sent us photos every day, carefully read and followed all our instructions, and kept in close communication with us. Cookie can be quite picky with his food, but Jennine was patient and managed to get him to eat every day. We highly recommend them and will definitely have Cookie stay with them again.”
“Uno was in great hands! All the updates with pictures and videos were comforting to know he was okay while we were out of town. No issues and he even met a new friend :) Thanks again!”

Christine was great! We have used her several times and definitely will again! Brady loves going there and we loved the pictures we received every day. Brady had a bad ear infection and she was more than willing to give him his medicine while we were gone and reassure us that he was doing fine. He received lots of love while we were gone and was treated like he was part of their family!
Amy was great! I had to book at the last minute( literally the day before), and I am so glad she agreed. As soon as I dropped him off, I knew Amy was the right choice for a sitter. She was very sweet, kind, and took great care of my little guy. I would definitely recommend!
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.
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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ballwin on Rover is $39.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,064 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.
92% 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.
