“Mona and Ollie had a great stay with Misty. They loved the freedom of a fenced yard. Misty was also super accommodating when our flight was delayed and we showed up 3 hours late to our planned pickup time. We will definitely be back!”
“Elisabeth was great! She took great care of Elsie, sending pictures and keeping us informed. Elsie clearly fit right in with the other dogs in the house. My only complaint is that she seems like she misses the company!”
“Blake was amazing with my Pups! Picked them up and dropped them off for me. Even clipped their nails. That sounds simple but my lab absolutely hates it (sounds like you are murdering her and takes two people). He sent me a photo of her relaxed and smiling lol. Absolutely will be using him again”
“We had a great experience! Dawn was very welcoming and seemed to care for them like her own. I loved the pictures and updates she shared. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Carly and her family were the best sitters for Coco we could have asked for! Coco had so much fun she almost didn’t want to come home! We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking with Carly again!”
“Lorri was wonderful with our pup. She made him feel at ease right away. She helped us to also feel comfortable by sending regular check-ins with photos. Thank you Lorri! We will be back!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“Just left our dog over the holidays. Delightful family great property to host dogs, communication was terrific with daily pictures and updates. Drop off and pick up we’re both terrific and easy. First choice for sure!”
“We had a great experience! She made our nervous dog feel comfortable from the very beginning and treated her like she was one of her own. She kept in great communication throughout the entire stay, sent lots of updates and photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious how much she genuinely cared for our sweet girl and we will absolutely use her again.”
“I've asked Alycia to take Pixie many times and it's always a great experience. Pixie loves staying with her and comes back super tired from the boarding. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended. I think Alycia has boarded Pixie at least 5 or 6 times now with the same high level of care and communication.”
“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.”
“Jeanne is just terrific! She responded immediately to my booking request, connecting by text and phone that same morning, and kept me up-to-date with pictures and messages during the couple of days I was away. She even switched a yoga class time so she could stay with Pablo after he was dropped off for the first time. I will definitely use Jeanne again! ”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ballwin
Dawn did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Hank. She kept us updated throughout his stay and sent us photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and doing well. Hank had the full run of the house and clearly felt comfortable and at home. When we picked him up, he seemed like he had really enjoyed his stay with Dawn. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We would definitely recommend Dawn and would be happy to have her watch Hank again!

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 .

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.
