We trust Lorri with Penny because Lorri spoils her with lots of walks & car rides and we receive numerous updates & photos on a daily basis. It’s a great match!

I am totally happy about Molly’s stay with Laronna. Laronna and her parents cared for Molly like she was their own. Laronna sent me pictures and information about Molly every day, which helped me relax and not worry about her. Also, I’m sure Molly enjoyed being with Laronna’s sweet little dog and having a nice backyard to use. Molly looked beautiful and happy when I picked her up. I highly recommend Laronna to anyone who needs someone to look after their fur baby.

My dog Taddy needed a sitter short notice for 2 weeks, when our previously scheduled sitter had to cancel due to a family emergency. Julia was fortunately available and very attentive to Taddy's issues (with him being an anxious rescue dog, with arthritis, reactivity towards other dogs, etc.). She also didn't take on another client during the 2 weeks because of Taddy's issues with other dogs. We got a picture and an update every 2-3 days while we were away. Taddy looked very comfortable and at home in the pictures. Our flight back was delayed, and we picked up Taddy close to midnight, much later than planned. Julia was v cooperative and flexible with our delay which we really appreciated.

My dog recently tore his CCL and I had to go out of town for the weekend to go to a funeral and was nervous about finding a place for him to stay. Found Jennifer and was completely at ease. Appreciated all of her updates and was a relief knowing he was enjoying all of his favorite activities like sunning in the yard and getting scratches.

She followed all instructions given to her & also adhered to concerns that I shared regarding my dogs. I will be using her again in the future. 🐕‍🦺🐾

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.

I do not have enough words to say how incredible Jessica was with my anxious corgi, Nugget! She was so attentive to his command words, what makes him nervous/comfortable and she even thought of things I hadn’t considered to make him feel comfortable there. She most definitely treated him like her own and he absolutely adores her! (And he is not fond of many people) she was wonderful about sending updates and keeping us connected while we were away. My sweet little boy absolutely loves her and we will be coming back soon!

Leslie has watched our two dogs on a couple of occasions and we couldn’t be happier with her care! She sends us entertaining stories during the dogs’ stay, including pictures, so we feel delightfully informed about their stay while we’re away. Leslie has been so accommodating when we’ve needed to book a last minute stay and we can always tell the dogs have been lovingly cared for in our absence. Highly recommend Leslie, she has an extraordinary gift with dogs!

Wow! Judith was amazing! So professional, so easy going, so nice and genuinely cared about my dog. I was SO comfortable leaving my baby with her. She wanted to know everything about Nikki. Bed times, feeding times, where Nikki liked to be scratched!!!! I loved that she called my dog “her guest.” Another amazing thing was Judith sent not only photos during the day and evening but a little information about Nikki’s day. That way I got a glimpse of how Nikki was doing. Plus, Nikki is a senior dog and Judith had no problem with her special needs. . She even spoiled her with some treats (which she made sure I was okay with) and spoiled her. We found the perfect animal lover to take care of our Nikki while we had to be away. Judith is our go to for sure! Xoxox

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.

Boarded our pug at Catherine's for a one night stay and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. As recent transplants to the area, we've had much trouble finding a responsive sitter so we greatly appreciated her timely responses and flexibility with our schedule. Her dog, Bodie, is the sweetest and we were so happy to hear that he and our little old guy got along well. Thank you again for having Benny over, Catherine!

I was so nervous to leave my dog for the first time, but as soon as I got pictures from Leslie on that first day of my trip, I was at ease. Leslie communicated everyday and was also incredibly flexible, extending my dog's stay due to a late flight. I would definitely have my dog stay with Leslie again.

It's very easy to work with Shaina ... we did a quick meet-n-greet before our booking to see that our dogs got along together (they did!) and then left our Jackson for a week-long stay. Jackson was clearly well cared for and had lots of playtime and regular walks. We got regular updates with photos as promised. I'm sure he was sad to leave ... we will book with her again in the future.

FAQs for Boarding - Clayton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,077 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.
