“Everything worked out wonderfully about this stay. Amanda was very responsive, everything went as planned, and she and Java seem to have had a great chemistry from the very beginning. After a 3 days of camping trip, the dog seems happy, healthy and tired (which is a good thing!), and the owner is definitely happy... and tired too. Thanks, Amanda, for the peace of mind!”

“Jennifer and her kids did a great job with Casey. She was more than willing to accommodate having Casey eat separately since she is on a special diet. I received plenty of photos throughout the stay. Would surely return when in the area.”

We had good communication and pictures while we gone and Winnie came back a happy and tired dog. Wi highly recommend Dani and we would use her again without hesitation.”

“This was our very first time leaving our Ivy girl so naturally we were very nervous. Laura offered to do a “meet & greet” to see how Ivy interacted with her incredibly sweet kids & dogs. It went so well all of our nerves disappeared. She sent photos of Ivy everyday - loved that!! We will be rebooking Laura for our upcoming trip in May & September!!!”

“Erin did a great job taking care of my puppy for the weekend! When I went to drop Lottie off she brought her dog down so that they could meet on neutral territory, which was really nice and during the weekend she text me updates and pics every day. I liked that she only took one pet at a time in addition to hers, that made me feel much safer leaving my puppy there. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”

“Donna was quick to respond to my inquiry and schedule a meet & greet prior to booking. She was accomodating to the extended times I needed, seemed knowledgeable with dogs, sent me updates while my puppy was in her care, and I picked up a happy puppy when I got back! I will book with her again!”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keeping up with each dog’s individual routine. Whether your dog is staying with me or I’m stopping by for a visit, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I treat every dog like they’re my own! I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available in the evenings and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I can also stop by during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, or check-ins as needed. I do my best to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get plenty of attention and feel comfortable while you’re away! I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while staying with me! I have a yard with plenty of space for outdoor time, potty breaks, and playtime. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who love meeting new dogs and having friends to play with. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always make sure they have time to adjust and feel comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions and provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!

About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student who has been working in a small-animal veterinary clinic for over 3 years and pet sitting for about 5 years. I absolutely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality! Working in a vet clinic has given me hands-on experience caring for animals, and I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I'll treat yours like they're my own. Whether it's going on walks, playing, sticking to their usual routine, or just giving them extra love and attention while you're away, I'm happy to help! During the school year, I would love to spend my weekends caring for your pets so I can give them plenty of time, attention, and love! During school breaks, I have much more flexibility during the week and can accommodate longer visits or more frequent pet sitting. I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's needs and keeps them comfortable while you're away! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some outdoor time, and there are no other pets in my home. I do have three roommates who are all comfortable around dogs and would be happy to give your pup some extra love! I'm also able to crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. If your pet is more comfortable in their own environment, I'm happy to stay at your home or do drop-in visits instead. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and as comfortable as possible while you're away!

“Kaila and her pup were so awesome. She was so accommodating finding a time for a meet and greet during the holidays, and again when our pick up plans changed. She sent lots of photos and videos of my dog living her best life for the weekend. Georgia had a great time and came home exhausted from playing so hard. We will absolutely book Kaila again!”

About: I think that life is about being happy and animals of all shapes and sizes make me happy! I have had multiple pets all of my life, from bearded dragons and snails to cats and dogs but now I have settled with my older toy rat terrier pup and my fat orange cat! I was able to achieve my pet first aid certification through the American Red Cross but it since expired (they are valid for one year) but I thought it was worth mentioning that I have been trained. I work in Columbia M-F but live in Holts Summit, MO. I am willing to work in Columbia, Jefferson City or Holts Summit. I’m working full time but can do check-ins/walks during my lunch break, before 8am or after 5pm on weekdays. Weekends are much more flexible as I don’t work on Saturdays or Sundays. I am comfortable with crate training and of course fenced in yards are great! I have no issues with walking pups on a leash. I live in Holts Summit where we have a leash law so leash and a decent harness would be required for stays with me. I have a huge yard to walk them around in!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Calwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 118 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Calwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Calwood 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 Calwood 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 Calwood.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Calwood. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Calwood 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
