“This couple is amazing with our furry family! We have two corgis full of “personality”. Excellent communicators. With John and Rachel as an option for care of our four legged family, I’ll never use a traditional boarding facility again.”
“A fantastic experience with Stevie watching my Darlin'. First time I've left her and she was very happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Much better experience than with previous pet. Would feel very comfortable leaving her with Stevie in future! Thanks!”
“Chloe and Colliin have been incredible! I left my puppy, Polly, with them for nearly a week. It was my first time being away from her and I was very nervous, but Chloe sent pictures and updates a couple times every day. She was obviously happy and being treated like a member of the family! It made my time away so much easier! I highly recommend them and will definitely use them when ever we need to be away!”
“Brittney and Max were wonderful with our puppy! They took such great care of him and sent us lots of pictures. He always seemed so happy! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little unsure about it. It was a great experience!”
“Olga was so great watching Zain! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking and was amazing to communicate with. She sent daily updates and I had a very happy pup waiting when I got back. He had lots of fun playing with Elsa in their spacious backyard and came home with a good report card! We will definitely look to use Olga again in the future if she’s available!”
“Hank and I couldn’t be happier with Victoria and Bob! They treated Hank with so much love, care, and attention, and I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better place for him to stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Their dog, Charlotte, and their cat are also the sweetest and so friendly! ❤️ Thank you both for welcoming Hank into your home and loving him as if he were your own. We truly appreciate you guys and couldn’t recommend your services enough. We’ll definitely be seeing you again soon! 🐾”
“cassie and ben were absolutely incredible! super down to earth people. helped us out in a pinch while on vacation and wanted a safe spot for our pup to play for a few hours. definitely recommend!”
“Angelica was great to work with. We had a pre-meeting at her home to introduce my dog to her pets. She made sure her pets were secure when we arrived for drop off and gave my dog time to settle in. She sent regular updates and pics. She even sent us home with a clean dog pen. Will definitely use Angelica again and recommend her highly!”
“Franklin loved it - so much, that he took a second to decide whether he wanted to stay or go home with me! ? Carly was responsive, sent pics & was flexible on hours, etc. Great experience!”
“Sofia was amazing through this whole process, she took such good care of my baby. I was super nervous to have him boarded somewhere for the first time but she kept me updated regularly and was always in contact to reaasure. She was also super understanding and flexible with our schedule, accepted my booking last minute and even agreed to extend our booking when something came up. I appreciate her excellent care would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again if available!”
“Nel was absolutely wonderful with Kitt, so much that I wasn't sure Kitt was going to want to come home! Kitt is a high energy dog and not for the inexperienced dog owner so I was quite nervous about finding the right person to board her. She was able to handle Kitt with no problem at all and Kitt felt quite at home with her. Nel was very communicative which is a big deal for me and kept me updated with pictures and videos of Kitt's stay throughout the entire weekend. Our dogs became BFFs and I look forward to meeting up with her in the future to let our pups play together. What started out as a need for a boarder is hopefully going to blossom into a great friendship and I'm here for it! She is exactly the kind of person I want watching my dog while I'm out of town.”
“Ramon dog sat for my pup for two weeks and it was a wonderful experience! We did a meet-and-greet before my booking to make sure my dog was a good fit with his, and Ramon was very thoughtful and tuned in to my dog from the very beginning. While I was gone Ramon sent me photos, videos, and updates about my pup. By the end of the stay my dog and Ramon's dog Dante were great friends. Through the whole process Ramon was communicative, responsive, flexible, and it's clear he really cares about the dogs he brings into his home. I had such peace of mind knowing Olly was with Ramon and Dante. We'll definitely book again!”
“Christine was fantastic with our dog and communicated very well with frequent updates and availability. She was also gracious when we had to extend the pickup time. Highly recommend!”
“So glad I found Crissy! She was super nice, flexible and had great communication. Luna is normally a very shy girl but she warmed up to Crissy and her husband super fast. They were great at sharing lots of pics. I would highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“Sally seemed very happy and comfortable with Samantha. I got a few photos throughout the week and updates about how she was doing. Samantha was very communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Rhiannon and Rachel took great care of Carson. Communication was excellent. Drop off and pick up went smoothly. Looking forward to using them again!”
“Mikayla took great care of my pup while I was away! She sent a bunch of updates and pictures throughout the time my pup was with her too, which was so nice to put my heart at ease. I highly recommend her to care for your pup! 10/10 will definitely use her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Bates City 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 Bates City.
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 Bates City 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.
