“Misty was wonderful to work with! She took such great care of our dog, Amos for a week, and we loved all the pictures and updates she shared. Her whole family clearly loves dogs, and it showed! We felt completely comfortable leaving our Buddy with her and would definitely book with Misty again! 🐾❤️”
“A true blessing! I can't express enough gratitude for Elisabeth! Excellent communication and regular updates with photos were provided throughout the trip. Zoey was happy and relaxed upon my return, which was a clear sign that Elisabeth went above and beyond in her care. I'm extremely grateful to have found her!”
“Erica took good care of our pets, Shaq (dog) and Simba (cat) during our travel. It gave us peace of mind since she updated us on the pets with pictures. Thank you Erica for your help and support, taking good care of our babies.”
“Dawn has done a great job. My dogs were happy and very well taken care of. She knew exactly what to do all the time. She sent pictures often and I felt very confident they were in the best possible hands. Thank you very much!”
“Copper had a great time at Carly and Doug's house. We received updates with photos, and he looked like he was having so much fun with new friends. We really appreciated the homey enviornment they provided - it made us feel at ease leaving our pup! Thank you Carly and Doug!”
“Kathryn, she is a very responsible person who take very good care of our both dogs. She will ask you any specific concerns and requirements before your dog boarding. She provide her love and patience to every dog she takes care of. Again, if you looking for somebody to take care of your lovely pet, don’t hesitate to let her know.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Emily! ❤️ From the very beginning, I could tell that she genuinely cares about both your baby and her own babies. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet first and carefully introduced Soup to each of her dogs, which made me feel so comfortable leaving him with her. Emily’s dogs are all such sweet babies and very well behaved. 🥰 Soup absolutely LOVED being with them! From all the pictures and updates Emily sent us, we could tell he was having a blast. Honestly, I think he was living his best life there 😂❤️ He had so much fun playing and spending time with his new friends. What I appreciate most about Emily is that she doesn’t just “watch” your dog — she genuinely cares for them like one of her own. She sent us lots of pictures and updates, and seeing how happy and comfortable Soup was gave us so much peace of mind. Emily and her babies were incredibly sweet and loving toward him. We are so happy we found Emily and her sweet babies. ❤️ I would trust her with Soup again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their baby. Thank you so much, Emily, for taking such amazing care of Soup and giving him the best little vacation! 🐶🐾❤️”
“Lorri watched Albus for a two week period while we traveled this October. She sent pictures and updates daily and it was so great to see Albus doing so well. She literally does more with Albus than we do...taking him along almost everywhere she goes (even to buy a new car!!!). They are best buds and we never worry at all when Albus stays with her.”
“Ursula was AMAZING!!! I needed help at the last minute for a full 19 days! Ursula took in my puppy and treated her like family. I received photos and updates everyday. Ursula is kind, professional, flexible and a true animal lover. 5 solid stars:)”
“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.”
“Amazing cat sitter! Qiyun/Kiki was so accommodating when we had to book our cat Lucy on very short notice. She took great care of her, sending regular pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would rate her 100 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely have your kitty stay here!”
“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.”
“Mika and her family were great with Rambeau. He looked happy and content. We enjoyed Rambeau's daily pictures and short video updates while we were out of town. And I hope to use them again. :-)”
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.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Ballwin is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ballwin
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!

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.
91% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
