“10/10 would recommend! She provided pictures and videos. She was excellent at communicating and answering questions I had. She was also very flexible when I needed assistance with changing pick-up times. I would highly recommend and look for her for your next boarding!”
“Absolute best!!! Dave and his wife were so extremely kind and sent me pictures and videos of my dog all throughout the day every day! I felt 100% at ease and will most definitely use Dave’s services again! I recommend with complete peace ❤️❤️”
“We absolutely loved boarding our wiggle butt, Harriet, with Jade! She was considerate and understanding of Harriet's background of reactivity and took the time to make sure she was comfortable. We loved the videos and pictures we received while we were away from our girl! It is so refreshing to know our dog was in safe, loving hands while we were on our honeymoon. Thank you, Jade, you are an amazing human!”
“Christina was super great. She took great care of Fonzy and Yuri and even helped to do some very basic grooming on Fonzy. He did have a bit of an accident overnight and she was able to handle it and was completely understanding of his nervousness of being somewhere new. If you are hesitant on leaving your dogs someplace I understand. However you can rest easy with Christina. She loves dogs and does a great job with them.”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”
“Anthony was a great sitter for our dog Blue. Blue has difficult feeding habits and Anthony was able to feed him well. We will be sending Blue to Anthony in the future.”
“I cannot be more happy with the care our boy Tucker received from Karissa and her family. Our Boarder Collie/Newfie was so well cared for and loved on the whole time we were away. Karissa sent many photos and he was so happy in all of them. Her children were amazing with him as well. She has a wonderful large, safe and secure yard for dogs to play in. Her home is set-up well to accommodate pets. My husband and I did not worry about his care at all which was a huge relief for us. I cannot recommend Karissa high enough. We will use her services again without any hesitation or doubt. She is an excellent care giver and a wonderful person. Thank you so much for giving our boy such a wonderful home away from home!!”
“Shane was awesome! He kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos. He has a really nice yard that Leo LOVED. I never seen him so happy. 100% worth the drive. He really care for Leo. He even brought him out to us and gave Leo goodbye kisses!”
About: I have been dog owners for over 20 years. I work from home full time. I live on a 5 acre gated property. I have a 2 year old neutered Golden Retriever who loves to play with other dogs. I work from home so I can facilitate potty breaks when needed. I am off work by 4 or 5 everyday and off on weekends. I do have a crate if needed. I do not have a fenced yard so would always walk your pet on a leash. Pets would never be left unsupervised.
“We highly recommend this loving family, especially if your pup is use to a house full of kids and love. They updated us each day and Opal seemed happy as can be all week long. We will be contacting this family again❤️”
“I've used Beth twice now and am very happy I found her. She and her family treats my 2 older beagles like their own. My pups seem to enjoy going to her house and get along nicely with her border collie.”
“This was the first time ever leaving my dog and my anxiety was extremely high! Sherry made the experience amazing with daily pics and updates! I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”

Ozzie always has a fantastic time with Ryn. I'm pretty sure he doesn't miss us one bit! She makes sure he is busy with lots of fun and activities, and that he gets plenty of love and attention. She is super communicative with pictures and videos as well. We will continue to have her care for our furry friends!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Festus on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 739 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Festus. 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.
89% of Festus 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 Festus 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 Festus 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 Festus.
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 Festus 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.
