“Taylor was super great! She gave regular updates with great pictures and videos for our pups stay. We were so much happier with this than boarding our dogs. Thanks Taylor!”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Noreen and her family have worked so hard to make my beagle mix dog comfortable during his stays with them. She is very gentle and creative in getting my dog to feel at home. I have noticed how much calmer he is when we drop him off at her home. Thank you Noreen!”
“I always feel like my dog gets so much love, attention, and exercise when she’s here. She loves coming back and we continue rebooking because Dominic is so attentive and keeps me updated with everything. If I were you, I would trust that my dog will be well taken care of while here.”
“Misti and her daughter were great. They sent updates throughout the day and pictures and I could tell that they were true dog lovers and cared for our pup like he was their own. Would use them again!!”
“Michelle has a big heart for the dogs and spoils them with lots of love and toys. She has 2 adorable dogs of her own. We were happy to know she has a 6ft fence to keep my fence jumper in and safe. Both my dogs seemed happier and more at ease when we picked them up opposed to boarding. We would love for Michelle to watch our kids again sometime. Thanks!”
“Lona and Alan took great care of my dogs while I traveled. They sent photo updates and they had my dogs ready to go when I arrived. I would highly recommend them to care for your pet.”
“This was my dog's first stay with Jenea's family and it went great! Loved that we did a meet and greet first. Her pups were very friendly and she had a spacious yard. Janea sent regular updates and was friendly. I think my dog was well taken care of. I will book again!”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life since I was a kid. Always been a kindred spirit with them. I’ve always owned big dogs (Weimaraners), but love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am happy to be active with your dog or just cuddle up with them. My last baby had arthritis so I’m experienced with providing injections as well as oral medication administration. I work full time M-F but have flexibility in my schedule. I can adjust my schedule as needed. My weekends are completely open to spending time with your pet or taking them to a park. I have a large fenced backyard for plenty of room for running around. There is also a paved walking trail behind my house which is perfect for long walks. My furniture is dog friendly for any pups that want to cuddle up on the couch.
“Our dog absolutely loves going to Alex & Jacquelynne’s house, and they are so good with her. They are our first choice when we are needing someone to care for her.”
“Jack loves Laura and her house. She is friendly and warm and Jack runs into her house to see his friends. I have appreciated using Laura’s services because she is kind and caring to my dog.. I continue to use her above others bc I always feel Jack is safe, loved and cared for!”
“Bobbi did a wonderful job taking care of Sailor! She sent videos and/or pictures everyday with an update of how Sailor was doing. Sailor always looked so happy and content in the videos/pictures. Bobbi was so loving and attentive to Sailor’s needs. I will definitely hire her again in the future! Thank you, Bobbi!!!!”
“Nina did an excellent job of caring for our older dog. He needs to take pills 2x/day and has an odd diet and she kept to the guidelines on all of his weirdness. I hope Nina is free when I need a Rover next time!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since i was a little girl. I started looking after pets at just 6 years old, and now at 17, I’ve had years of real hands-on experience. I grew up with my little dog Zeus, three sweet cats, and most recently I rescued a pit bull named Chico right off the streets. Because of that, I’m comfortable working with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m great at walking and running dogs, giving baths, and most importantly, showing them love, comfort, and attention. I treat every animal like my own, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My weekly routine looks like doing online school from 9am-2pm so i can be available after school on weekdays or on weekends i can typically do mornings better depending on your pets needs! I unfortunately do not have a yard but if your fur baby loves walks i have a lot of walking area. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable with me. I take time to build trust by moving at their pace, learning what they like, and giving them gentle attention. Whether I’m in your home or walking them outside, I create a positive, calm environment where your pet can relax and feel loved.
“Christy is so wonderful! She did a great job with my cats (3 of them). I received updates and never had to wonder how they were doing. Her willingness to meet my cats quirky needs was fantastic. I'll be booking her again!”
“This was Oliver's 1st long term stay with someone he doesn't know. Mishel and Adlai went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and also that we were comfortable :) He is a nervous one and eventually even let them pet him and feel at home. She sent pictures and videos along with daily updates and we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use them again!”
“Great experience from start to finish! We have a 16 week old puppy ... Stephanie was great with him! Communication was perfect, Stephanie shared photos, and our pup was thrilled to have some playmates for the weekend!”

Teddy enjoyed his time with Michelle and her pups. We had never left Teddy before and he has horrible separation anxiety. He acted as though we didn’t exist 😂. She has a fenced 3/4 acre lot for the dogs to explore and he snuggled with everyone on the bed at night. We will definitely be using Michelle again. Bonus points that she is only 15 mins from the airport!!
I always feel like my dog gets so much love, attention, and exercise when she’s here. She loves coming back and we continue rebooking because Dominic is so attentive and keeps me updated with everything. If I were you, I would trust that my dog will be well taken care of while here.

Bobbi is a l life saver! We had a last minute need and she thankfully was available. Our little guy isn't one that loves everyone but he and Bobbi are buddies. She spoils him while we are away and we don't worry at all! She sends us videos and pictures and tells us about his day. Absolutely love her ❤️
Joseph was awesome, and I already have our fur baby's next stay with him booked! Great and timely communicator when setting up the stay, and I appreciated the photos and videos during our trip. I could tell our dog was comfortable and happy staying with Joseph and that he truly loves dogs. Thanks, Joseph! Ruth can't wait for her next vacay.
Wonderful communication and care. I had my own anxiety about the other dogs during drop off, but the great little pack and a caring human exceeded my expectations. When I picked up Rosie, I could tell she was happy to see me, but also relaxed and content. She can get stressed easily as a velcro pitty, so this makes it clear that she loved her stay. Thank you for the pictures, check ins, and taking such great care of Rosie.
April was awesome! She was very flexible and accommodating with our need for an earlier drop off. She took very good care of Vito and he played and had a good time. She even sent him home with a toy, his favorite out of her toy box 💝🐾. We would definitely use her again in the future.
Riley was the 2nd rover i’ve ever used, and I chose her based off of days and days of research and comparing different sitters i’d feel most comfortable with. I have a very hard time leaving my Baby, and cry at even the idea of having to leave her. This trip was the longest we have ever left her for, and I can’t lie I was dreading it. I was also worried about how baby would get along with her dogs, cruella and Milk bone. My baby is only 2 and is quite annoying to big dogs when playing, and can irritate older dogs so I get really worried about how she will be received and how the other dogs will treat her but after our meet and greet, I felt 1000% better and felt riley was an amazing option for us. Her dogs were patient, kind and got along with baby so quickly and easily, which made me so so happy. Riley also has such a deep knowledge and talent when it comes dog aggression and behavior I felt so comfortable and her and her dogs both helped train baby with basic manners and play behavior so she can take these skills to any dog and make a friend instead of aggravating others. I was so impressed to see her eating as a pack with the other dogs, playing appropriately and listening. baby had so much fun and left with life long skills that we are implementing into our daily routine. I can’t say enough amazing things about riley, we were gone for 7 days and I felt so comfortable and didn’t worry once. she was even flexible when we had flight cancellations and had to extend her stay by an entire day. if you have any concerns or hesitations, just BOOK. she is amazing, so friendly, and so good at what she does. she’s a natural talent at what she does. Thank you riley!!!! I hope we can do another pack walk soon so baby can come and see her friends again :)

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Gladstone 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 Gladstone 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 Gladstone.
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 Gladstone. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Gladstone 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.
