“Rachel is absolutely wonderful with the pets that she keeps. Our family was in kind of pickle because my dad was hospitalized and needed someone to care for his furry companion while he was away. I found Rachel and her service and was relieved as soon as I started corresponding with her. felt right at home the moment I dropped her off. Cannot say enough at how well Rachel communicated during her stay with messages and photos. Rachel was a godsend!! Thank you so much Rachel!!!”
“They took great care of my Frenchie when I was out of town for work. It was my first time using Rover. It was also my first time leaving my Frenchie since I got him. I felt at ease and appreciated all the photos and updates. Would recommend.”
“Our pups had a blast with Anthony and Sophia! They were so welcoming with Scud who can be a little shy and both dogs came home happy and tired from all the play time. Anthony and Sophia texted updates everyday and were flexible with the drop off and pickup. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”
“Misty and her family were wonderful and my pup was well taken care of during her stay! Misty gave daily updates and made pick up and drop off so easy. You can tell they love dogs and so warmly welcomed my pup in to their home. I would recommend Misty to anyone!”
“Repeat customer here! My baby and I absolutely LOVE Emily and her babies so much. Emily is truly in a league of her own. Her love for dogs is unmistakable. You can tell she isn’t doing this just for the money. She genuinely enjoys caring for them, making them feel at home, and giving them the attention, affection, and fun they deserve. Emily gives me complete peace of mind. She treats Soup like one of her own, keeps me consistently updated, and goes above and beyond to make his stay special with fun experiences and little adventures. She was also incredibly flexible and did her best to accommodate my short-notice request, which I truly appreciated. Every update shows him happy, relaxed, and clearly living his best life. At this point, I honestly feel like he has found his second home. And please don’t let Emily’s big babies intimidate you! They are incredibly sweet, gentle, friendly, and well trained. It’s obvious how much love, time, and care Emily pours into her own dogs, and she extends that same warmth and attention to every dog in her care. I truly couldn’t recommend Emily more highly. Knowing Soup is with her means I can relax and enjoy my time away without worrying, because I know he is safe, loved, and having an amazing time. The only con? Your baby might not want to come home. 😂 Soup certainly doesn’t seem to!”
“definitely recommend! she was very flexible on watching Henry last minute on thanksgiving day! kept me updated and came home worn out and very happy! thank you :)”
“Milo had a great stay at Paula’s. She made him feel very comfortable and was also very responsive. I also got his photos while we were away. 😊 Milo will definitely return. Highly recommend Paula if you are looking for a great pet sitter.”
“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!”
“What a wonderful experience! Stephanie has really set herself up well to look after your dog, especially if your dog likes play dates! Easy drop off and pick up, and a happy, tired dog at the end. Can’t recommend highly enough.”
“I am grateful for the wonderful care Ursula and her husband showed my small Goldendoodle, Evie. Her home and fenced-in yard are set up nicely for dog care. I appreciated the notes and photos sent each day. She clearly cares and it showed from the initial meeting to the final pick up.”
“Laura was so great with Mia! She took her on adventures to Lowe's and PetSmart, spoiled her with treats, and gave her so much loving. She was great at communicating and sending daily updates and pictures. Mia was sad to leave her and come home!”
“Leslie has been amazing and my dog just loves to go to her home. It is so comforting to know he is well taken care of and having fun. Leslie is our go to pet sitter. 100 % recommend.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Dittmer can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dittmer 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 Dittmer.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dittmer. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Dittmer 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
