“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!”
“Our dog Winnie had a great time with Dawn! She was very happy when we picked her up! Dawn sent photos of Winnie while we were away and she looked like she was enjoying herself! I would highly recommend Dawn and plan on using her services again when we take our summer vacation!”
“Francie let me and my dog visit before her stay to introduce her to the space, and we talked through some of her care. I got plenty of pictures and updates on how my dog was getting along with others and was happy to hear that she was comfortable.”
“Phoenix had a great time! She promptly fell asleep as soon as she got into the car so we know she played hard! Thanks to Beth and family for taking good care of her while we were gone.”
“Karen took care of our 12 1/2 year old female pup who was raised in Nicaragua where other dogs were a threat not a friend. Our pup loves people but is not always friendly with other dogs. Karen was very attentive and communicative during the week our pup stayed with her. She was patient and kind We would use Karen again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. My sweet Charlie passed in 2024 and to fill the void, I am now taking care of other people's pets. I work from home, so I am very flexible in my schedule. I can go to your house for boarding, or your pets can stay here. I love having toys around for the pups to play with. Very pet friendly environment. I do not have any other pets in my home. I only have one booking at a time. I want to make sure to give your fur babies all the love they deserve. Its only me at my home. My son is in college.
“We used her twice within a month for our mini bernedoodle! Bear was excited to go back the second time and ran inside. He was tired when he got home, a sure sign he had a good time.”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“Jeanne is a fantastic person to watch your dogs! I had not left my two small dogs outside the care of relatives since we had a negative experience at a large corporate kennel many years ago. Needless to say, I was a little concerned about how my dogs would react. I could not be more DELIGHTED with their level of energy, happiness, and zero anxiety when I picked them up today. Jeanne spent a ton of time with them, sent lots of pictures and really made me feel comfortable that my pups were in good hands. I would highly recommend her and plan to book with Jeanne again when next I have to travel where dogs aren’t allowed.”
“Ali is so sweet and knowledgeable of all dog breeds. My two boys loved her and her pets. Duncan and Jaxx came home happy and exhausted, what more could you want? I will definitely be using her any time I need a sitter. Thanks Ali!”
“Amy was great! I had to book at the last minute( literally the day before), and I am so glad she agreed. As soon as I dropped him off, I knew Amy was the right choice for a sitter. She was very sweet, kind, and took great care of my little guy. I would definitely recommend!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth. She took care of my dog for 2 1/2 weeks, sent a photo & comment every day about how Bessie was doing, and it was obvious she is passionate about animals! Because of her experience working for a vet I felt very comfortable that she was giving Bess her medicine, and since Bess is an older dog, she and her family gave her lots of cuddles and care. I won’t hesitate to ask her to dog sit again! Bessie also formed a friendship with one of their family’s dogs. She was very happy there!!”
“They are an awesome sitter which Ke'o really looks forward to staying with them while we are out of town. We are very thankful that Brian and Abigail continues to provide an exemplary services as well as easy to communicate with since they are very responsive. Thank you again and highly recommended if you need dog sitting services.”
“Anusha & her family were great! They were very welcoming and attentive when I dropped off my dog, Holly. Anusha clarified all the instructions and arrangements that we had discussed. Holly has some meds and a special diet and they stuck to everything. She was in frequent contact with updates and photos while I was away. Anusha and her family made boarding Holly easy and stress free! I would highly recommend boarding with them!”
“Lindsey was great with Bernard. She sent pictures of Bernard while we were gone showing he was relaxed and having fun. Lindsey was easy to work with regarding drop off and pick up also. I would definitely use her again to watch Bernard.”

I've asked Alycia to take Pixie many times and it's always a great experience. Pixie loves staying with her and comes back super tired from the boarding. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended. I think Alycia has boarded Pixie at least 5 or 6 times now with the same high level of care and communication.
Reema was lovely! She took care of our dog Chi Chi while we were on a long vacation and gave daily updates. Chic Chi also had a playmate as Reema has a small dog herself who’s was as welcoming and friendly as the owners. Chi Chi got plenty of love, affection and playtime and returned home a happy pup. Highly recommend!
Laura and Patrick were phenomenal dogsitters for us--they took such great care of Teddy and have a beautiful backyard. We appreciated the pictures and updates while we were out of town. They went above and beyond to get special dog food and a prescription from our vet when our dog dealt with "stress colitis" from being away from us and they handled it all in stride. We are so grateful we found them--it was our first time using Rover and we were really happy with the entire experience!
Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.
We’ve been using the same sitter for Bentley and couldn’t be happier! It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands every time. Bentley always comes home happy and well cared for — you can tell he’s truly loved during his stays. We keep coming back because the consistency and trust are unmatched. Highly recommend!
They are an awesome sitter which Ke'o really looks forward to staying with them while we are out of town. We are very thankful that Brian and Abigail continues to provide an exemplary services as well as easy to communicate with since they are very responsive. Thank you again and highly recommended if you need dog sitting services.
Sue takes great care of our GSP. Our dog gets a lot of great play time in Sue’s yard with her dog. Of note, we were supposed to pick out dog up at about 7:30 on a Sunday night after our return from a long weekend in Austin. Despite our flight being 2 hours delayed, Sue was patient and waited for us to come over late to get our pup. Thank you for your amazing flexibility Sue!!
Truly incredible ❤️ We needed a last-minute sitter for a 1.5 week trip. Makena was miraculously available and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It’s always a little scary leaving your dog with someone you don’t know, but we did a quick meet and greet ahead of time and then Makena was amazing about sending photos and videos with quick updates over the course of the stay. Our dog was so well cared for and clearly felt loved and cozy in Makena’s home. I’m so so grateful and so sad this was our first and last time with Makena given we’re moving out of state soon. Any and every dog who gets to spend time with her (and her incredibly sweet dog, Bear) is so lucky! Our girl can be super anxious and shy but felt right at home from the very first day. Makena is awesome ❤️

There are 1,123 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Des Peres. About 93% of Des Peres sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
