“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! 😊”
“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.”
“Reema was amazing! Her pup and mine played so well together, it was the perfect play date! She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would trust Reema to watch our girl again in a heartbeat ☺️”
“Holly is so kind and caring! My dog loves going to her house. She watched him for me while I am at work. I really appreciate her flexibility with my schedule since it changed every week. She send photos of my dog throughout the day to keep me updated. Super happy I found her and will continue to use her to watch my dog.”
“This was Cooper’s first time with Lucy and although he was nervous at first that was very short lived! I really appreciated the way Lucy worked to make him feel comfortable before I left. I could tell he was thoroughly enjoying himself in the videos she sent and when we made it back home he barely made it through the door before passing out! Would highly recommend :)”
“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! ❤️”
“My pup did daycare with Raini for 2 days. Everything went great and he was a happy pup! She has a great fenced in backyard for dogs and she sent lots of pictures and videos. This was our first experience using Rover and it was a good one.”
“Julie was a life saver! We were stood up by our original sitter, and she took Yuna in last minute. It felt reassuring to leave Yuna with her. Even though it was just for the afternoon, it seemed she got along with Julie's dogs and was exercised enough to have her sleep all throughout our road trip back home! Also kept us updated with pictures which was great.”
“Jeanne has been amazing! Super flexible with my schedule and Winnie loves her! Winnie gets lots of love and play time, and plenty of potty breaks. Jeanne is always quick to reply when I text too. Highly recommend her!”
About: I help with pets often. Neighbors trust me to walk, play, and care for their animals. I enjoy playing outside and cuddling with animals. I can’t wait to meet new animals. I work from home 2 days a week and I work in the office short 5 hour days during the week with no evenings or weekends. I have a private, fenced, level yard. I have a no outlet neighborhood for nice safe walks. I enjoy playing the back yard, going for walks and snuggles too.
About: Hi there! I'm a passionate dog lover who truly treats every dog in my care like one of my own. I share my home with my wife, our 10-year-old son who loves dogs, and our two dogs — a Whippet and an Italian Greyhound mix. Your dog won't just be staying with a sitter, they'll be joining a real family that genuinely adores animals. _ One of the biggest things that sets us apart — there is almost always someone home! I work from home most of the week, my wife is a full-time stay-at-home mom, and our son is a dog lover who enjoys giving our guests some extra love when he's around after school. We specialize in small to medium-sized dogs and intentionally keep our group small — just 2 to 3 dogs at a time — so every dog gets personalized, loving care rather than being lost in a crowd. _ We have hands-on experience caring for dogs as I've owned many dogs over my lifetime, and we understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your furry family member. _ My house has a fully fenced yard where dogs can roam, sniff, and play freely in a secure environment. Our doggy door gives your pup the freedom to roam and play outside whenever they want! _ Please Note: Access to the yard requires going up and down stairs (deck or basement stairs). Please make sure your dog is comfortable and able to navigate stairs before booking. This is important for their safety and enjoyment during their stay! _ What I Offer: - 🐾 Small to medium dogs welcome (no puppies) - 🏡 Fenced yard for safe outdoor play - 🏠 Someone home almost every hour of every day - 🐶 Two resident dogs — a Whippet and an Italian Greyhound mix - 👨👩👧 A loving family home with a dog-friendly 10-year-old - 🐩 Small group setting for personalized attention - 📸 Regular photo and update check-ins so you always know how your pup is doing Someone is always home with your dog! I work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday. My wife is home all week, our 10-year-old son is home after school and on weekends, and we are both around most weekends — so your dog is never left alone. We have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely roam and play. We are happy to crate your dog if needed, and can follow any routine or special instructions you have to make your pup feel right at home. Please note: Access to our yard requires navigating a few stairs. Please make sure your dog is comfortable with stairs before booking, as this is important for their safety and enjoyment during their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs, my own dogs since I was 10 years old. We’ve always had a dog in our home. Up to getting my own puppies and training them. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kiddos and we’re home a lot. We love to be outdoors and playing outside. We’d have no problem letting your dog out or playing with them. I have a big fenced in yard and a very friendly pup to keep yours company! If you would like your dog caged, I can do that as well.
About: Our family of five loves dogs! We have raised two rescue dogs from puppyhood into their senior years. We help family and friends to walk, feed and take care of their pets while they are away. We have young children who are comfortable around dogs and love to help out! We love spending time with animals and are an active family. We will treat your dog as if it’s our own. We have a large yard and love taking pets on walks. Pets are family and we look forward to spending time playing, petting and taking care of your pet just like they’re family! We raised two rescue dogs that recently passed at age 14 due to old age. Our family misses having pets around and look forward to loving up on your pets. We work from home and have flexible schedules so we have plenty of time to take your dog on breaks throughout the day. We live in a 2700 square foot ranch home and your dog will have access to every room. We enjoy walking dogs and have leashes and plenty of dog toys in our home. Pets are family! They will get lots of pets and walks and be part of our everyday life while they’re home with us whether it’s for a day or the week. Your dog is welcome anywhere in our home and allowed on furniture but we prefer them not to sleep in the bed. We do not have a fenced yard, but we can ensure all members of our household will keep doors closed and secure. We have two crates available in our home.
“Haile and Alex were so pleasant and informative. This was my first stay and they took the time to let my dog get acclimated with the other dogs upon arrival. They sent pics and videos to make me feel comfortable about me being apart. At pickup time they provided advice based off of what they experienced during the stay to help her next stay be just that much better for my pup. Needless to say her new bestie Evie had a great time and she is down for the count. ☺️ Thank you!”
“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.”

Sarah continues to be absolutely amazing with Soup! We’ve booked with her multiple times now, and every experience has been wonderful. Soup gets so excited every time he sees Sarah and Brody again, which tells me how loved and well cared for he is there. She always keeps us updated with lots of pictures and messages, and Soup comes home happy, relaxed, and so clean every time. Sarah truly treats him like part of her family, and that means so much to us. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She is trustworthy, caring, communicative, and honestly the best sitter we’ve ever had. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their dog ❤️

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Des Peres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Des Peres on Rover is $31.08 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Des Peres 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 727 sitters in Des Peres, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
