“Pearl had a wonderful time staying with Leslie! As a tiny dog with a big dramatic streak, Pearl always lets us know how she feels about a boarding experience when she comes home. She gave Leslie five stars! She also let us know that she'd prefer it if life at home could be a little more like life at Leslie's house. As humans, we also really appreciated how easy it was to communicate and coordinate logistics with Leslie. Thank you, Leslie!!”

“Our 17 year old dachshund spent his last visit with Lesley recently. And the only reason it was his last stay was because we just moved out of state. Henry spent a lot of time being cared for by Lesley over the last couple of years and each time was a great experience for him. We had peace of mind that he was well cared for and content and we will miss Lesley’s care a LOT!”

“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”

Leslie is amazing and such a joy. She took great care of our 4yo golden doodle and was so accommodating and caring. We felt so comfortable with her and it was so nice to get away and not worry about the dog. I immediately booked her again! Looking forward to being a long term customer.

Lovely stay as always. We know Benny really enjoys his time here bc whenever we pick him up, he doesn't greet us with the wild-eyed, "get me the heck out of here" look he has whenever he gets picked up from a doggy daycare center. It's more of a "cool, this was fun, see you and Bodie again next time!" Catherine is def the first person we reach out to for any dog sitting needs we have. Highly recommend!

Ashlie and Phillip were great and we could tell Max did well. He’s on several medications and that didn’t seem to be a difficult thing for them to handle.. Max got plenty of exercise (play) and love from their entire family. Communication with photos was excellent and despite this being our first time with them, we were more than pleased and know Max will be visiting them again!

Maddy our little dog was happily & lovingly greeted at drop off. Also, she appeared in good spirits on pick up. Marie was very nice, as were her children. We found Marie to be communicative and quick to respond to our texts. We did not receive any pictures, perhaps because it was a relatively short overnight. We would definitely use Marie’s for Maddy again.

Isa is great!! So friendly, and attentive and loving with my dog. I know Lily was well-taken care of and had a good time. I could tell immediately when I picked up my dog that she had bonded with Isa and her friend. Plus she got Lily to eat while I was gone, so that's an accomplishment! I will definitely want to use Isa again for future boarding.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Clayton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,094 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clayton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

92% of Clayton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Clayton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Clayton 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 Clayton.

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.

You and your Clayton 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.
