“We were in town for an important business meeting and Misty made everything easy, and adjusted to schedule uncertainties. Juno had a great time and came home content and tired. Highly recommended.”
About: I love dogs with all my heart. I am a new dog owner, but I am no stranger to dog care as I took care of my friends dog for a night and on other occasions. I have around 9 months of experience of taking care of my puppy. I have trained him in some of the basic commands and sometimes I love to make doggy treats for him. I am a recent graduate of highschool and will be home for most of the time. I will be able to take care of your dog anytime required. I have a temporary fence setup in my backyard along with a spacious basement. I have an extra bed if required for your pet along with extra blankets. If you would want your pet to be in a specific area of the house, there are extra fences that can be used. I will be able to monitor your dogs routine and needs. I will pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other needs you put in. I will make sure to give regular updates through photos or calls.
“Dawn has done a great job. My dogs were happy and very well taken care of. She knew exactly what to do all the time. She sent pictures often and I felt very confident they were in the best possible hands. Thank you very much!”
“Melissa and family kept us constantly updated with our pup during her stay and were incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed and pivoted to doing a drop off. We cannot thank them enough for their care of her.”
“Lorri was a fabulous sitter for our little Bella! She was so patient with her when she would not eat. She had her sleep in her room in her carrier. She was so good about sending pictures everyday and giving us a day to day update on how she was doing. Our Bella loved her and felt so comfortable with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“Melinda was great with Sonny. She listened to me as I explained my dog's needs since he is an older dog. Despite not having a fence she explained how she keeps the dogs under her care safe. I would rebook with Melinda again.”
“Anusha and her family have been amazing with my Ollie bear, they have sent daily updates of how Ollie was doing including with playful photos. I would definitely leave my dog with Anusha and her wonderful family again. Thank you Anusha for everything you’ve done for my Ollie bear!”
“It was a delight meeting Jennifer M. I am so glad we chose her service for our little old man. Jennifer is very polite and was great with not only taking care of our dog but also sending updates and pictures. She was very flexible with the drop off and pick up time and made sure our baby gets to know her and her family well. Her home is very clean, and welcoming. Our dog had fun walking in the neighborhood making new friends and he was very happy looking when we got him back . I would not go anywhere else as long as she is available. I would give her 100/100z”
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
About: I’ve watched dogs for several of my friends and family in the past and have decided to take my care pet scratches to others in need. I’m currently a personal trainer. So I’ll have afternoons to come home and let the pups out. And I’m there for several hours at a time. I like to walk so they will get exercise in. I have a fenced in back yard. So the dogs will have plenty of space to run and play. They have a pond to drink from.
“Kathryn did an awesome job caring for my 8.5yo Jack Russell/American Bulldog/Unknown Mix! During his 2 week stay, she sent daily photo updates with cute messages, and now, 30+ hours after I picked him up, he's still super laid back, a sure sign that he had a great time! (He's normally a mix of high energy and many naps, but after a fun vacation, he is usually Extra tired for anywhere from few hours to a day or so.) He came back healthy and happy. I will absolutely be using her services again!!”
“Carly & Doug were excellent in taking care of our fur baby. I recommend them to anyone who would like to have top notch care for their fur babies. Thank you so much!!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Ellisville is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellisville
Tom is our go to dog sitter. We seem to always have travel changes and he never hesitates to be super flexible and accommodating. Tom and his family always take such good care of our girl. It is such a huge relief knowing she is getting so much love and care! Can’t recommend him enough!
Kathryn and her family did a great job caring for my dog Murphy. We had an initial meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit for the dogs and they sent lots of updates and photos so I could feel confident Murphy was being well taken care of. Murphy had a great time and I would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
We had a great experience with Annie! She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs—they loved her. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things about Kathryn and her family! My dog stayed a week at their home and had the best time. She treated my pup like family, provided regular updates and photos, and made sure he felt completely comfortable and loved. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such a warm, caring environment. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ellisville on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,067 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ellisville. 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.
91% of Ellisville 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 Ellisville 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 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.
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 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.
