“Cynthia and Robert were awesome! Very communicative and able to help on short notice. They went out of their way to make sure my JoJo was comfortable and welcomed him like one of their own fur babies. Would definitely recommend and plan to use their boarding services again in the future!”
“My dogs have stayed twice with francie. It has gone really well. I believe she really enjoys them and they come home happy. She is easy to communicate with and flexible with drop off pick up times. I will definitely use her 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!”
“Ella loves staying with Keith and Katie! They take great care of her and always send pics while I’m gone. They’re locked in as my favorite dog sitters! Highly recommend!”
“Great experience!!! Madison and Eric make you feel like your pet is being taken care of by a loving family members. They have two dogs so there were plenty of play time. They provided plenty of pics and updates. I’d recommend them to anyone!”
“This was our second time using Katie and Edward. One of our dogs had an ear infection and needed to be given ear drop medication during her stay. Katie took good care of both of dogs. We will use her 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 took the best care of Baxter and I would highly recommend them to watch your puppies. We were nervous as we don't usually leave Baxter but Elisa ( and family & Norman) provided loving care. She sent updates and pictures, which we loved! The sweetest part of Baxter's stay was her sons drew pictures for Baxter! I can positively say, Baxter was a loved puppy! Thank you Elisa, Family, and Norman!”
“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!🫶🏽”
“Bryan did an awesome job with Phoebe. His love for animals is obvious. He sent pictures of her to us and made me feel at ease. Will definitely use him again!”
“I hesitate to leave this review only because I want to keep Lorri for myself! She was so good with our dog! Winnie is blind and due to this has separation anxiety when we leave her and a little generalized anxiety in new situations. Within a day, Lorri had her wearing a cute little sweater to keep warm on walls (which Winnie refuses to wear for me), had her cuddling on the couch and even took her for walks in a store! I know Winnie was comfortable with her because she was clearly relaxed in the many photos and videos we got while we were away. Lorri is the best!”
“This was my first time using rover and first time leaving Leo with strangers so I was nervous but Ivy made me feel like Leo was in good hands! She sent pictures and updates and left me assured he was doing just fine! I’ll definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Erin was great! The pups had an awesome time during their stay, and seemed to make some great new friends! I would definitely recommend Erin. She sent tons of photos and kept me updated, and was very accommodating to our pups and requests. Thanks again, Erin! We appreciate you 😃”
“Katie saved me with a last minute request and took amazing care of our 1yr old boxer. She sent photos throughout and when we picked her up I could tell she was at ease from her stay. She took her on walks, played and cuddled, and will definitely rebook with her.”
“Leslie was incredible! It was a last minute booking and she was so thoughtful during our meet and greet. And Lily adjusted so quickly to her. Peanut, Leslie’s dog, is also just the sweetest. I was kept updated throughout my trip and knew Lily was in the best of hands! We’ll definitely be booking again.”
“We dropped off our golden retriever Jerry with Elisabeth while staying with friends in Chesterfield. Elisabeth and her family were great - Jerry got plenty of exercise and they kept us updated on his adventures each day. Would happily board with them again. Thank you!”
“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.
