“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.”
“I've used Beth twice now and am very happy I found her. She and her family treats my 2 older beagles like their own. My pups seem to enjoy going to her house and get along nicely with her border collie.”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. The only problem I had was my Ginger tried to make me be a doggy door when we got home. She wanted to run in and out like she had gotten used to. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care and would use her again without hesitation.”
“Sonja was amazing. She took such a good care of our Teddy. She made sure he felt comfortable,since he gets very shy with unfamiliar people. Sonja did daily update with pictures,and that was huge relief for us knowing he is in such good hands. Definitively we will use Sonja's service in future.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jeanne was AMAZING. This was the first time I've ever left my dog with someone I didn't know, and that he had been around other dogs 24/7. She did great letting him take his time to settle in and kept me updated multiple times a day with pictures. Not only did she do a great job taking care of my dog, but she did a great job calming my nerves too.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Our pups stayed with Judith while we went to Jamaica for 11 days. She did such a great job staying in contact with us while we were gone. She would send pictures of the pups along with how their day was spent. She went above and beyond to keep them happy including cooking them healthy treats. I would highly recommend her and our little fur babies will be visiting again!”
“Reema was a wonderful host! She took great care of our dog and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She is very kind, friendly, and has a lovely backyard where our dog had a great time playing with her dog. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Reema and would be happy to leave our dog with her again in the future. Thank you so much! 😊🐾💕”
“Alycia is wonderful! Our dogs were so well taken care of (including our older dog)!!! We really appreciate being able to leave town knowing that our dogs are in good hands!”
About: I have always had a dog and cat in my life (and still do!). I have been using Rover for two years and I don't seem to want to stop anytime soon. I have trained two golden retrievers and walked a lot of puppies, senior dogs and many ages in-between. One of my own dogs was awarded canine good citizenship before my children were born. I love being around animals and I have a caring nature. Now that my kids are getting older, it fits my need to get exercise and bring some joy into my life. I would love to give your pet some snuggles, snacks and I am always mindful to send lots of photos to ensure you can relax while you are away. I know that is what I would want as a pet owner. Some people think you have to either be a "dog person" or a "cat person". Not me! They both have a place in my heart for very different reasons. Cats take some time, but I love their comforting purr, the playfulness of spunky kittens or just petting their soft fur. Some owners simply just someone they can trust for a check-in. I am happy to provide the details needed so you can be OK while you are away. I am typically available in the afternoons as long as I don’t have a meeting scheduled (I work from home) and most evenings are available. Weekends are the best time to book care if you will be out for soccer games, dinner or long evening plans. I have kids as well and I have used Rover for 6+ years on my own pets. I am excited to return the favor to you now that my kids are older. I have used crates with my own pets during training and I will follow whatever safety instructions are needed. I understand all collars, how to avoid run ins with feisty dogs and other concerns you may have. I know how to troubleshoot dogs that like to find hiding spots or have the ability to slip out of the door. I am 40+ and I am raising tweens at this point, so I have a little wisdom under me that other walkers may not have at this point. I am also trustworthy. I have a great full-time job coupled with flexibility. I just want to combine my love of pets with a little extra income.
“Walter and Maddie were great! They were very warm and welcoming to our old lady, and their two dogs are very sweet. They provided daily updates and good communication. Our dog had some overnight accidents and they were very understanding and worked with us via messaging to address her needs. We were very comfortable and confident that our pup was in good hands.”
“We appreciated Nana taking on Mowgli for a few days. She always kept us updated and welcomed Mowgli to her home. I appreciated the pictures and detailed updates throughout his stay. Mowgli was very happy since he got to play a lot and was very well taken care of.”
“Excellent host! Arrived very early in the morning for drop-off and arrived later at night for pick-up. Accommodating. Sent updates. And took care of my pup. Thank you!”
“Lucy always has a great time with Beth, getting in lots of playtime. I appreciate Beth’s flexibility with my delayed flight in keeping Lucy some extra hours this time around.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ballwin
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
