“Stephanie watched our Miniature Schnauzer, Lily Belle, for five days. First time our girl has been boarded with someone other than family. From the first day we met Stephanie and her daughter's I knew Lily Belle would be in good hands. We dropped her off ona Tuesday evening and picked her up on the following Saturday evening. During those days Stephanie was great about keeping in touch with text messages and pictures. Her last picture was of Lily and her cat laying together, which is never thought would happen. I can only say if you want your pet cared for like they were home with you, you can't go wrong with Stephanie. We will definitely rebook.”
“My dog loved his stay! He came back tired and happy from getting to play outside with other dogs. Chelsea was very accommodating when we couldn't pick our dog up at the original time. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Samantha. This was my first time ever leaving Grizzly, and I had SO much anxiety about it. Like, genuinely anxious. I had no idea how I was going to feel leaving him with someone else, but from the second we met Samantha, I felt so much better. Her family was incredibly welcoming, her home was so inviting and clean, and you can immediately tell how much she loves animals. Watching her with Grizzly — and all of the animals — was honestly the sweetest thing. She has such a calm, patient, loving demeanor with them, and Grizzly completely adored her. She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay, and I looked forward to every single one. Seeing him so happy and comfortable made such a difference for me. By Sunday, I was genuinely so relieved that I had found someone I could trust with him. Grizzly had the BEST time, and I’m pretty sure he would happily go back tomorrow 😂. Samantha made what I was so nervous about feel completely easy, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. We will absolutely be back. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Crystal did a great job taking care of Rocko. She kept me up to date with his activities and I had no worries about his care. I even heard a funny story about Rocko that kept me laughing. Thanks Crystal for a great job!”
“Christopher was fantastic to work with. He was responsive and made me feel at ease. You could tell from the start that he is a pet lover and I felt confident Wily would be well taken care of. I will definitely be using Christopher 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 Burgess 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 Burgess.
<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 Burgess 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.
