“Best sitter in the area!! Lilly is exhausted and she misses Smokey so much! We had to move our trip dates due extreme weather in Texas and she was totally fine with it. She took great photos and videos of Lilly playing with Smokey, Laronna is the best!!!”
“Cyndy and her family were wonderful hosts for our dog, Mando! They made time to do a meet and greet and asked lots of great questions. She was so great at sending updates and I could tell they were taking very good care of Mando. Will definitely use them again!”
“Jennifer is the best dog sitter I've ever met! She cared for my furry kids like they were her own. She sent daily updates and pictures. I could tell they were happy and comfortable. I didn't worry at all while I was gone because I knew they were in great hands. I'm so thankful I thought of rover.com and found Jennifer!”
“Keith and his wife were very personable. I appreciated the way they interacted with my dogs, I could tell they were well taken care of while I was out of town. Keith sent pics during their stay and was flexible with the drop off and pickup times. I highly recommend and will use them again. Zeke and Zena enjoyed their stay and couldn’t stop showing Keith and his wife love before they left. Thank you both for a job well done and making my business trip a little less stressful knowing the pups were being well cared for.”
“Katie was terrific! She was a fantastic host for our dog Ozzie. It was nice getting daily pics and videos providing us updates while we were out of town. Will definitely use her services again!”
“We had a fairly short notice trip and needed to leave our two dogs for a week. We took them for a daycare first the week before, and they were super excited to go back when we dropped them off for trip.”
“Elisa and her family were a great fit for my dog! She sent me photos/updates and I really appreciate her dog Norman providing comfort to my dog who can be somewhat unsure in new places. I’ll definitely book again!”
“Charrell took amazing care of my baby, Roo! She took her on multiple walks and made sure to send updates all throughout her stay. I usually get reports back that my dog is visibly anxious after I’ve dropped her off, but Roo adjusted so quickly with Charrell. I felt comfortable knowing my dog is in great care! I definitely will book again when I need a sitter for my doggy!🫶🏽”
“Excellent care for our doggo as always. They are always flexible and helpful! Bryan sends lots of photos which is especially reassuring for my youngest kid. Thank you!”
“This was the first time Lorri watched our mini schnauzer, Albus. He settled in very well at her house and she took great care of him. Lots of walks, a car ride, spoiled with treats, and plenty of birds and squirrels for him to watch out of the window! Lorri sent us updates and pictures every day which really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away from Albus. I definitely recommend Lorri, I know it was a great "vacation" for Albus at her house!”
“My ChiChi felt so at home and so loved! Pictures were sent often. I love pet sitters that are actually PET LOVERS! I will use Ivy again and again! And an added bonus, very close to the airport.”
“We left our dog for a long weekend with Erin and everything went so well! I typically have anxiety about leaving Louie, but Erin provided daily updates. We picked up a tired but happy pup. Will be booking again for sure!”
“Always blown away by Katie’s services, and our two dogs always have the BEST time with her! She went above and beyond for this stay, where she had my two dogs during a rough winter storm, and was still able to keep the dogs active and having a blast! We love Katie and cannot recommend her enough!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Leslie! She is our go-to dog sitter. We get lots of pix and texts about our fur baby, and she always goes the extra mile. Whether it’s making sure the back steps are protected so your dog doesn’t slip, or buying an extra can of pumpkin because you didn’t send enough, Leslie will make sure your dog is cared for in the same way she cares for her own dog.”
“Elisabeth was great! She took great care of Elsie, sending pictures and keeping us informed. Elsie clearly fit right in with the other dogs in the house. My only complaint is that she seems like she misses the company!”
“Gustavo, thanks for taking the time to get to know Taz, welcoming him in your home, and taking great care of him. He was so calm, relaxed, and happy when we picked him up. Your updates and birthday party pics were heartwarming 💕”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Champ
I felt very secure in Fred being cared for in a loving way with Laronna. The picture she sent proved that. Her dog Smokey taught Fred how to use a doggy door. I’m sure our cats would love us to have one. Laronna was 5 Star. You can feel comfortable leaving your dog with her. And Rover was a breeze to work thru
Evan & Kaleigh We’re awesome! They sent me tons of videos and pictures of my pup walking, running, playing, and resting. I was out of town for a few days and it felt great knowing my girl was having fun while I was also having fun. They gave her several walks a day and they had a nice yard for Lola to run around in. I will definitely be booking with these two again!
Kelsey was available within a short amount of time for a meet and greet. While I was away she constantly kept me up to date with my pups and worked remotely to keep them constant company. My dogs loved her dog and house and had a blast. She was also very accommodating, being able to watch them longer than expected. All in all, a fantastic sitter I plan on using again.
This is my first time having my pup stay with Lauren and hopefully won’t be the last. My pup Liza looked so happy and kept going back to say goodbye when we left. Clearly she enjoyed her time and was very happy. I know my pup will be looking forward to the next time she is able to stay with Lauren!
Misty and John are fantastic with our dogs! We get lots of pictures and updates, and it's comforting to know our fur babies are having fun and getting loved on even when we're away. This latest time, we had a last minute change of plans when our flight home was delayed 3.5 hours, meaning the dogs would need to stay another night. Misty and John were very responsive and flexible while things were changing rapidly for us.

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 Champ home-away-from-home, 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 Champ.
<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 Champ 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 , 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 .
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.
