“Thank you for taking such great care of Moose while we were gone! We loved the pictures of his exploits and relaxing moments. We highly recommend Deserae for her professionalism and care while boarding your pet!”
“Emily was great and very accommodating when I needed to change pickup time. Very responsive and felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her sweet family. Would definitely book with her again.”
“I have a dog with a lot of anxiety and Mike was the perfect person to take care of my Cooper. He is laid back and relaxed, but attentive. He still likes Cooper even though he woke Mike early! LOL! I'll use him again!”
“Aaron and Jennifer were wonderful! I've only left my pup with someone while I was away once, and it was with a friend. I was apprehensive, but when I met them I felt sure that everything was going to be okay! When I picked Jig up, she was happy and healthy! I will definitely ask Aaron and Jennifer to take care of my fur baby again, if I'm ever back in the area!”
“Brooke is the best. She walked Bandit daily and sent us daily pics and updates on how our Bandit was doing. We spent a week in Branson and it was very comforting that Bandit was being taken care of. This was the first time we used Rover.com and it was a very user friendly app.”
“If you are ever needing a dog sitter in Branson, I unreservedly recommend Jason (and his wife)! Daily updates, lots of activity, followed Addie’s routine. For a first timer, who was very fearful of leaving my beloved girl, this was a wonderful experience. And made my stay in Branson so much better knowing my dog was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“We decided to stay over another day, Kind of a spontaneous decision, And of course we didn't have accommodations for our pets. So, we began calling around, also leaving messages through The Rover app, and asking different boarding availabilitys about having last minute booking. Not too many people responded. Janet, though, to my surprise, responded with a rapid message. I was surprised becaus in her brief bio and what some of her preferences were of clients, like a 7-Day meet and greet I was thinking like" she's she's definitely got her ways and she's not going to call me back !" Boom!! We had a booked appointment and our pets at our place, she was a little busy when we first contacted her which had a 1-hour delay which was fine, not too longer than an hour and a half after we contacted her. And she lives in West Branson not Springfield,BTW. SUPER KIND BIG HEART!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”
“Gretchen and her family did a wonderful job caring for our dog. Gretchen sent photos each day. Our dog was happy and well cared for! Definitely recommend! I will certainly be contacting Gretchen again!”
“Mallory did a great job and it was super stress free for us. We had never boarded our dogs anywhere as we had friends nearby to help for trips.. So we were a bit nervous going into this and I now feel confident and will definitely consider Mallory’s services again in the future. Very accomodating and understanding of my dogs’ unique needs and everything seemed super smooth!”
“My shy little doggy was very happy at this house. A family environment that made her feel at home. I don’t leave her often but this nervous doggy dad could not have been happier with our experience.”
“Linda is the absolute best. She was great with my dog and treated him as her own. Communication was great and she sent pictures as promised. Would absolutely recommend and use again. Thank you Linda!!”
“Ashleigh did great with my 2 weenie babies. She has a fenced in, safe yard. She text and sent photos everyday and was very accommodating to their needs. Definitely recommend her services!!!”
“Ashley was just absolutely amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I 100% would! She really went above and beyond taking care of our girl! We really enjoyed the consistent check-ins and pictures and appreciate the extra time she took to let us know how Harley was doing while we were away! I was so thrilled that she actually seemed to take the time to get to know our fur baby and treated her like one of her own! This was our first time boarding Harley, but Ashley made it so smooth and stress-free! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 33 years ever since getting my first dog at 7 years old. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and shapes including a Lhasa Apso, King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull, Shihpoo, and Heeler/Daschund mix. They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine! I am a single mother with lots of time on my hands to love on pets. I have a daughter in Junior High and a son in High School so I do run them back and forth to their activities but otherwise I’m ready to spend time with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.
“Tovah did awesome job with Mr Wiggins. She sent pictures of him while I was gone. He was glad to see me but I could tell he had been treated good. When I have to leave again she is definitely the one to use. And I will recommend Rover as a good place to call.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Galena home-away-from-home, 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 Galena.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Galena 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 , 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 .
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.
