“I would 100% recommend Maggie to other people she is such a genuine amazing sweet person and she treats your pet as one of her own, she also responds super fast to messages which I appreciate immensely.”
“Samantha took excellent care of Kiki. She provided a loving environment with lots of petting and walks. I would recommend her and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“Daran was awesome. He sent us pictures and videos. It was very clear the boys were comfortable with him. We knew they would be fine because we had already done a meet and greet but the pictures and videos made us more at ease. I would (and have) recommmend Daran to all my friends.”
“Cider loves staying at Sunny’s and always has a good time with her dog, Sam. Sunny is wonderful and is my go to when I need to board Cider. Highly recommend. Your dog will be right at home!”
“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
“Erin took such amazing care of our 2 golden retrievers! They are always nervous when being boarded but Erin listened to my concerns and made sure the dogs were settled in and happy! She met us at the Ferry (so convenient) and then sent photos of them throughout the day. We are so grateful to Erin for taking such great care of our babies!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, especially dogs. My first pup was an Irish Setter when I was just four, and over the years my family rescued many dogs — including plenty of Basset Hounds — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’m now a cat owner as well — it’s a new experience, but one I’ve grown to love. At the moment, I’m available nearly every day, including weekends, thanks to a flexible work schedule. I’m happy to work around your needs and adjust as things come up. My kids are fully grown, so I have some more time on my hands! I’m completely comfortable crating dogs when needed, and I’m confident handling daily walks, potty breaks, and general exercise routines to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well‑cared for.
“Caitlin did an amazing job taking care of our English bulldog Bruce while on our vacation. She was excellent at communicating and gave us updates on how he was doing. We plan to use her next year as well and we highly recommend. Thank you Caitlin!”
“An exceptional stay for my little pupper. They were very communicative accommodating and very kind. This was actually the first time we've ever left our dog with someone and will definitely be doing it again with them. They also were able to help me out in a pinch last minute to walk her the following week. Can't say enough positive things about them”
About: About Me Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a house full of animals—sometimes five dogs at once, ranging from a St. Bernard to Chihuahuas, along with pot-bellied pigs, macaw parrots, hamsters, bunnies, cats, finches, and plenty more. Needless to say, caring for animals has always been second nature to me! I was also a vet tech in college, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals and a deeper understanding of their health, safety, and individual needs. Most recently, I became an approved foster home with Sandy Paws, which has been incredibly rewarding. My home currently includes quite the crew: Barbara Ann, my Persian cat; Pearl and Mabel, my two Boston Terriers; Taco, my bearded dragon; and Dunkin, my Polish Dwarf rabbit. I even have a koi pond! When your pet stays with me, their safety comes first. Dogs are on a leash 100% of the time when outside, and our cat never go outdoors. I also have a dedicated, private area where a dog can eat if they prefer to have their own space. I am happy to follow your pup’s exact feeding schedule and will stick closely to your instructions, including meal times, portions, medications, treats, or any other routine that helps them feel comfortable. I also take cleanliness seriously. I have a dedicated pet shower on my lower level, so after a fun stay, I can make sure your pup heads home happy, fresh, clean and squeaky clean! For the safety and comfort of every pet in my home, I do require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. This gives me a chance to meet you and your pup, learn about their personality and routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. My home is truly a place where animals are loved, cared for and treated like family. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while they’re with me. It is really the best part of my day, every day! All of my pets are on a schedule that I know like the back of our paws. Upon waking up I take turns letting the dogs outside, feeding them, giving fresh water and then play time. My cat likes to tell me that it is feeding time so I follow her to the dish. I am not fenced so I make sure ALL dogs are 100% leashed when going outside. I have a very large yard for playing and a very private driveway and street to walk them. My house is a safe space for all of the animals to free roam but also have privacy when they need it. The downstairs bathroom has my "pet spa" and then the laundry room is filled with light and a linoleum floor in case any accidents or spills happen. I can feed the animal in there as well. If I am visiting your fur baby in your home, I will treat your house with as much love and respect as I do my own.
“Jacquelyn was amazing! We traveled from Florida and she was able to watch our puppy while we attended a wedding. Our puppy played hard with some other dogs and had an amazing time! Picture and video updates were greatly appreciated. Would recommended to anyone!”
“I’m so happy we found Karen, she takes such amazing care of our Goldie and sends us lots of updates. It definitely calms our anxiety (which is high!!) when we have to leave her! It’s also such a relief that Goldie has Juni to hang out with, such a sweet girl.”
“Jennifer and Stephen took wonderful care of our dog Beau. He loved being with their pets (dog and cat), and had a great time. Will definitely be using Jennifer & Stephen again! Many thanks, Christine & Leon”
“Stephanie does a wonderful job. My dog loves going to her house. - she sends pictures often with updates of Dakota playing ball, walking, beach, strolls and treats. I feel very confident, leaving my dog with Stephanie and have used her on several occasions..”
“Kelsie was amazing! we felt completely at ease leaving Wells with her. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared for him like her own. Highly recommend”
“my giant pups loved their stay!! I appreciate the updates and pictures. This is a wonderful substitute for home. I've passed out her information to my friends. Thank you 😊🙏”
“Anndrea was AMAZING! THis was out first time leaving a pet with someone and we couldn't have been more pleased. Anndrea was in daily contact with us, sending photos and sharing anecdotal antics! She really seemed to like and enjoy our dog, and it wasn't 'just a job' to her. She obviously loves what she does. In fact, my dog had so much fun, he was hesitant to leave and came home with us!”
“Cheyenne was AMAZING! She was on top of all communication with plenty of pictures, updates, and praises for my dog. I knew he was in good hands all weekend and would highly recommend Cheyenne to anyone. She was very understanding and flexible with pick-up and drop off as I was traveling from out of state.”
“Hanna took excellent care of our Goldendoodle Winston. She was very quick to respond to my inquiries and provided great updates on how Winston was doing. Highly recommend Hanna for dog care!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellisville
This was my first time using Rover, and Erin made it a great experience! She took great care of Chico over the weekend, and he absolutely loved spending time with her daughter! It was nice knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book with Erin again. Highly recommend!
Hannah was so accommodating and patient for my anxious chihuahua mix. She had plenty of supplies on hand and other extras to make sure my dog felt comfortable. Her home was clean, tidy, and welcoming. Hannah’s great with sending photos and communicating quickly. I would love to book her again in the future, and I absolutely recommend using her services for your next pup sitter! :)

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 Ellisville 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 Ellisville 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 Ellisville.
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 Ellisville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Ellisville 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 MA 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.
