“Lorri was an exceptional dog sitter! She provided excellent care for my corgi-bulldog mix, and it's evident that my furry friend had a fantastic stay because she returned home even happier than ever. A huge thank you once again for taking such wonderful care of my beloved pet!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Greg and family took care of Raven for 10 days while we were visiting our son's family in North Carolina. Everything went very well it seems and we are so pleased with the care and compassion that Greg and team put into their care for Raven. We received a picture each day which helped ease our sense of missing her. This is just the perfect place for her. We've already scheduled two more doggie day care sessions and truly appreciate working with them. Can't praise them enough as Raven is not the easiest dog to take care of.”
“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.”
“Anusha and her family have been amazing with my Ollie bear, they have sent daily updates of how Ollie was doing including with playful photos. I would definitely leave my dog with Anusha and her wonderful family again. Thank you Anusha for everything you’ve done for my Ollie bear!”
“Tom and his family were very friendly and welcoming to our pet. Copper had a lot of fun lounging around and going on walks - we enjoyed seeing the pictures and will definitely use Tom again!”
“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”
About: We’re a husband and wife duo who share a love for animals and their personalities. We strive to make every fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I, Mariah, grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and all small critters in between. Nathan and I have our own Sphynx cat for the past 3 years and our dog for 11. We know firsthand that every fur baby has their own unique personality, needs, and quirks! Our dog and cat both require medication and extra attention. Our cat has a heart condition which has given us valuable experience administering medications and providing specialized care. We understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and knowledgeable looking after your baby, especially if they need a little extra TLC. In addition to caring for our own babies, we’ve been doing house visits for both dogs and cats through Rover for around 4 years, and we absolutely love meeting every single one of our feline guests! Whether your baby is playful and adventurous, shy and cuddly, or happiest lounging in a cozy spot, we want them to feel right at home while you’re away. As a team, we work together to provide a loving, attentive environment where your animals individual needs and routines matter. We know pets are family, and we’ll treat your precious fur baby like one of our own! Mariah currently works full time outside the home while Nathan works a hybrid schedule but his work allows him to work from home when needed. Both have a flexible schedule that allows for care of pets at any time of the day. We just bought a new house that we have a leash setup for our dog since the yard is unfenced. If this is okay for your animal we can set them up this way as well but if not we are open to anything that would work better for them. We are big on safety in and out of the home. If the dogs for some reason do not get along they are able to be separated since our house is large enough to do so. Our neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and safe. If we are coming to your home or we are welcoming them into ours, we will gladly follow any instructions left for us to ensure that the fur babies are comfortable and safe.
“Laronna is a very friendly and warm dogsitter. We did a meet-and-greet first which went well, followed by leaving my dog with her for 4 nights. She got to play with Laronna's dog. She sent an update with pictures each night, which was appreciated while I was out of town. I plan to leave my dog with her again, since it worked out well.”
“Tiffiny took great care of our puppy, Beemer! She even started working with him on a few commands and continued potty training him. He was a happy pup when I picked up! Thank you!”
“Beth took THE best care of our shy girl! We don’t like to ever leave our pup with a stranger because she can get pretty anxious and have some separation anxiety. Beth did INCREDIBLE with her and even got her to comfortably and happily socialize with other dogs, which is really rare. I highly recommend Beth and we will definitely leave our girl with her again if and when we need to! Thanks Beth!!”
“Evan and Kaleigh are amazing! I was delayed on the drop off day. They were so patient and encouraged me to take my time getting there. We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”
“Brian and Abigail are excellent pet sitters! Our dogs loved their large backyard and they received plenty of exercise. They were exhausted when we brought them home. We received text messages and pictures while we were away and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with them and we will be using them again.”
“Beth was a perfect fit for us! Turq warmed right up to her and they really seemed to match each other's energy. We got plenty of updates which assured us he was comfortable and happy, which we loved. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Thank you, Jennifer for taking great care of Molly and Bailey! I really appreciate all the pictures and updates, and it is obvious you gave them a lot of love and care while we were out of town. Great job!”
“Leslie was incredible! It was a last minute booking and she was so thoughtful during our meet and greet. And Lily adjusted so quickly to her. Peanut, Leslie’s dog, is also just the sweetest. I was kept updated throughout my trip and knew Lily was in the best of hands! We’ll definitely be booking again.”

This was Izzy’s 3rd time staying with Jessica for 5 days, and I honestly couldn’t be more thankful for her. Leaving our little girl is never easy, but knowing she’s with someone so kind and caring makes our hearts feel a little lighter. Jessica makes sure Izzy feels comfortable and loved, and having her own little pup around makes it even more special. 🐶💕 Thank you, Jessica, for being so gentle, patient, and loving with our little Izzy. It means more to us than words can ever explain. We’re so lucky to have found you! ❤️🐾
This was my first time using Rover, and I’ll definitely be booking with Emily again!! You can tell she’s not doing this just for the extra money, but because she genuinely loves meeting and spending time with new dogs. It’s clear she really cares about the dogs she watches, and that made me feel great about leaving Cane in her care. Thanks again for taking such good care of Cane!!

The graciously allowed Waffles to stay with them despite the booking being short notice. They were very flexible and accommodating on the drop off and pick up times, and send pictures through the stay, which is always greatly appreciated. Great experience and look forward to be a repeat customer next time I am in need of help with boarding Waffles while in St. Louis.
I am grateful for the wonderful care Ursula and her husband showed my small Goldendoodle, Evie. Her home and fenced-in yard are set up nicely for dog care. I appreciated the notes and photos sent each day. She clearly cares and it showed from the initial meeting to the final pick up.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ballwin is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,074 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 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.
95% of sitters in Ballwin 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 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.
