“Happy with Sarah taking care of our two Husky dogs. We received daily update about the dogs and pictures. Dogs looked good and happy when we picked them up. Will book with Sarah again.”
“Ben has watched our 12 lb rescue chihuahua mix 3 times now, and we already have the 4th scheduled. His communication is great, he send photos throughout the stay, and Lana seems to love it there.”
“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”
“Leslie is a fabulous pet sitter! She updated me often with photos and I really appreciated that. She also followed up with me about when to bring our dogs home and she was prompt and reliable. I highly recommend Leslie. We actually have her already booked again for a future stay.”
“Gia had a great time at Laura’s! She got home 2 days ago and still hasn’t fully recovered (in a good way lol). Laura takes good care to keep the doggos busy so they don’t get anxious or miss you too much. Gia got to play with multiple new friends and probably learned a thing or two. Laura is really good about sending pics and videos - and she is very responsive if you send a message to check in. Would definitely use again!”
“Thank you so much, Annie. It is obvious our pet loved staying with Annie. We appreciate the peace of mind of having our pet stay in a comfortable and loving home. We enjoyed the pictures and updates throughout our trip away from our pet as well. We recommend Annie for sure.”
“Louie had a wonderful time!! He was very well taken care of! We will definitely use Leah again for our next trip! She was very responsive and flexible with time pick up. Thanks again Leah!”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“Penny had a great time. I loved all the pictures and videos Jennifer sent! She even got Penny a Christmas gift. I am so happy to have found someone that takes care of my pup like one of their own!”
“Jennifer is a wonderful sitter! My pup Auggie had a great time with her and her pups. She sent lots of pics and just the right amount of communication. She took excellent care of Auggie! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Excellent host! Arrived very early in the morning for drop-off and arrived later at night for pick-up. Accommodating. Sent updates. And took care of my pup. Thank you!”
“Leah did a fantastic job all around. She was very warm and responsive when I first booked my appointment. Met Sam and I outside so he could get to know her. Let me in so I could see how he'd be staying and meet her dog. She answered all my questions and sent messages and photos during his stay. I highly recommend booking with her, and will do so again myself in the future. :)”
“Margaret and Dustin took excellent care of our dog in their home! We appreciated the updates and pics. We could see that Mason enjoyed spending time with the kids. We would definitely book with them again.”
“Mary was so accommodating with our nervous pup. We were traveling from out of town - she was very flexible and sent us updates and photos. I wish we lived nearby so our dog could stay with her again!”
“Jordan did a great job with my higher maintenance dogs. She paid close attention to them and addressed a minor behavior concern (dog wasn’t eating) quickly. I highly recommend Jordan!”
“If I could give Jamicia 100 stars, I would. My dog Chuck got the ultimate VIP treatment and is depressed now that he is home. 🙂 Jamicia is the only person I will leave my fur baby with. She is genuinely the very best.”
“Katie is the absolute best! She was Dolly's foster mom and her dog Eva is super sweet. Dolly always comes home happy and tired. She truly treats her like she's one of her own.”
“We had a great experience with Marie and her family! She was available to do a meet and greet before we left Cooper with her for a long weekend and was very flexible on drop off and pick up timing. We got updates throughout the weekend and Cooper came home absolutely exhausted, a sure sign of a good time. We like that he was able to get a lot of interaction with the kids, and they all seemed to like helping out. We will definitely have Marie on our list next time we need a place for Cooper to stay.”
“If you want your pet to be spoiled and catered to while you’re away, I highly recommend Nana! She was fantastic with providing care and updates.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
Finding care for our pups when we went out of town used to be the most stressful part. Since finding Sarah, it is not! She's amazing to work with, flexible, and sends updates and pictures. As someone who probably spends more time than most thinking about and planning for and training my dogs, I'm pretty picky on who I let care for them and from now on, we can't leave town if Sarah isn't available! :)
Julia was absolutely wonderful with our dogs while we were out of state for the week. From the start, she was friendly, communicative, and incredibly responsive, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. She kept us updated regularly and was always quick to answer any questions. Most importantly, we could tell our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pets, and Julia exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
We used Hailie for the first time that we spent a night away from our puppy and highly recommend her to anyone else looking! She took the time to get to know us ahead of time and tailored his stay based on his personality. She was very attentive to him and ensured that he was comfortable in her home. He’s still under a year old, so he’s got plenty of energy to spare. Hailie kept him busy with playtime and sent us lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated. We look forward to using her again in the near future!
Lesley was a true blessing when we were frantically looking for a sitter last minute. It was our time using Rover and first time using a non-family member to watch Asher so we were very anxious! From meet-and-greet and communication while Asher was with her, to his tail waging goodbye at pickup, we’re grateful to Lesley (and her pups) for welcoming him.
Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!
Fatima was great and I could tell Piper had an excellent time once she settled. Although it was a short stay (1 night) I could tell she really cared about her experience as she made sure to do all of pipers favorite things, cuddles and bones. Would absolutely use again in the future since Piper seemed right at home
We boarded our dog with Sarah during our wedding weekend, and we got so many photos the entire weekend. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up, they clearly had a blast! Forever grateful that we could get through the craziness of wedding weekend with the peace of mind that our goofy pup was in such good hands!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,093 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.
91% 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.
