“Lots of communication and updates, Mango got along well with their dog, Sable, as well. Daycare card was very informative and everything was taken care of for Mango. Would highly recommend.”
About: After nearly 15 years of caring for my own beloved small dog through every stage of life, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I have extensive hands-on experience with small and senior dogs, as well as shy/nervous dogs, including medication routines, special needs, changing mobility levels, and dogs who simply need a little extra patience and attention. I’m especially interested in providing a calm, home-like environment rather than a busy kennel experience. My goal is to care for your dog like they’re temporarily part of my family — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks, and time to relax. I prefer caring for one dog at a time so they receive lots of individual attention. Note - at this time I can only accept hypoallergenic or low shedding breeds that are under 40 pounds and are very comfortable walking on a leash. I work from home but I’m selective with my availability and only open my calendar when I know I can give your dog plenty of time and attention. I enjoy having a dog around the house and will make sure they get lots of companionship, walks, playtime, cuddles and downtime based on their normal routine. I prefer to care for one household’s dog at a time so they can feel comfortable and get plenty of individual attention. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m especially comfortable with small and senior dogs and understand that some pets need a little extra patience, supervision and TLC. I live on a small, quiet cul-de-sac but please note, I do not have a fenced in yard, so dogs must be very comfortable walking on a leash.
About: My love for animals started when I was 16 and I got my first dog who turned into our family dog, she is 16 now and I am 32! | love helping out friends, family, and neighbors with walks, feeding, and even bath time. I love spending time with furry ones and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, so much I’ve volunteered at different shelters both in Mexico and in the US. Our family dog on my profile does not live with me, she lives with my parents. Thanks to my flexible job, pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have plenty of free time. I'm flexible and available for last minute bookings, whether it's a quick walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether in my home or yours, I follow all instructions to maintain their routine.
About: I been around pets of all sizes since I was a kid. I have about 15 years of experience caring for animals. I have experience with pets who take medication because my own fur baby takes medication. I work from home currently so I’ll be able to give your fur baby lots of attention. Your pet will not be alone often due to my schedule. My main priority is your pet’s safety. I don’t keep anything on the ground or in reach that can cause harm to a pet. My second priority is them feeling comfortable, I will treat your pet as my own and make sure I contact you if I have any questions about their needs. We have a nice sized backyard where they can play and have fun safely & we have a friendly neighborhood.
“Erin was great to work with. She sent pictures every day that my dogs stayed with her, showing them getting comfortable on her couch, taking a walk and just hanging out. I don't always know if my dogs will get along with other dogs but they seemed to get along fine with her dog. One of the pictures she sent showed my dogs and her dog out on a little nature stroll together. Erin was also super gracious about my dropoff and pickup times. I was in Madison for work and didn't always know when I would get to her home since I didn't know my way around the area or know quite when I would get out of my training class each day. Thanks Erin!!”
“AJ was great with our dogs Gus and Macey. Macey was very apprehensive when we first left but AJ gave her space and was patient and she warmed up to her and her family after about 20 minutes. Gus and Macey seemed to enjoy their time with AJ.”
“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”
“Angel was so great to work with! She was very communicative and she and her family took great care of our pup. She came home exhausted from a long day of play. Angel made sure to send plenty of pictures throughout the day as well! Thank you, Angel for the great care and peace of mind! ❤️”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
“Jenny and her family took great care of my pup, Oakley, while I worked a 12 hour shift. They provided her with lots of love and play! They are good with training and commands. Jenny is so sweet, very responsive, and helpful! I would highly recommend using her if you need someone to love your pet well!”
“Was nervous cause of my first time using the app but she sent videos and pictures throughout the day giving updates what they’re doing without asking. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.”
“Iliana and her family were absolutely wonderful! This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone other than myself and Iliana was so caring and kind to my doggie and myself. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, which was awesome and comforting!”
About: I have dog sat, fostered or owned dogs since I was 20. I have worked with many dogs that have anxiety, pets with behavioral issues and senior animals . I am very protective and loving. Your dog will be my main priority. I do this full time. Recently, my son moved home and has a five pound Pomapoo . Your pet must be friendly with small dogs. I walk daily and have a large fenced in yard for play. I dog sit full time. I’m generally only gone for a few hours at a time. I am willing to stay home if anxiety/ health issues develops. I have a fenced in yard and walk two miles every day. At your home I would provide daily exercise and stimulation. Lots of love.
“Anusha and her family are too good to work with. Our Pluto was kept very lovingly and utmost care. I kept receiving their playful pics and videos while Pluto was having a good time with all of them. It’s so good and a big relief to see Pluto been left with someone who will treat him with the same love and care that he gets at home. Will be coming back again and again.”
“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”
“Cliff was an absolute ANGEL! So prompt on his responses, and helped us out last minute. He was above and beyond communicative and overall so lovely. Highly recommend!! 💕”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Champ
Cynthia and Robert were amazing! We just adopted Arlo a few months ago, so we haven’t had much experience leaving him with outside care. But during our meet and greet, Cynthia and Robert eased our concerns by asking thoughtful questions and providing a ton of context on how they usually care for their visitors. During the stay, we got regular updates, photos, and a cute video compilation! Most importantly, they were attuned to Arlo’s comfortability. He seemed uneasy about removing his harness, so they kept him comfy in it instead of forcing him to take it off. They also did a great job of relaying information like that to me so I wasn’t left wondering or worried while I was away! Arlo was incredibly cared for and enjoyed his visit! I’d definitely recommend Cynthia and Robert, especially for anyone who has a bit of anxiety leaving their pups.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Champ is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $37 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Champ commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 713 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MO. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
