“Taylor was great! She made her home super comfy for our two dogs; one of which tends to be very anxious. Taylor put her at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pups were being well loved.”
“Christina and her family treated my dog like their own this weekend and made us so comfortable in leaving him!! We were kept updated with texts and pictures the entire time we were gone and we know that Bruno received so much love. From reading books, to running in the yard for hours chasing sticks and fireflies, Bruno was kept busy, and shown lots of love! He could barely keep his eyes open after we picked him up from being so tired out! We will definitely be rebooking and using Christina for any of our future dog watching needs! Thank you again ?”
“Madelyn and Tevin watched our beautiful baby Dunkin and it was such an outstanding experience. We received daily photos and videos and we received updates on how he was doing, Dunkin had a lot of playtime and had amazing fun in the backyard daily. Madelyn is very caring and loving to our furry baby. I highly recommend Madelyn and Trevon anyone that needs a pet sitter.”
“Joseph was very patient with River and had a kind and compassionate attitude. River can be an anxious pup, but he made her feel right at home. We will definitely use him 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!”
“Misti provided good updates with cute pictures of my dog! She is a senior dog who needs lots of medications but I felt comfortable leaving her in Misti’s care. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Mackenzie was great to work with. This was my first time using Rover or even having anyone watch my lab. She was very helpful with information on processes and was great to communicate with. I would highly recommend Mackenzie and I will definitely book her again! Thank you!!!!!!!”
“Noreen took care of our guy last minute. She was wonderful and sent us many pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our pup with her again!”
“Rhonda was great! My dog absolutely loved her big, fenced yard, and we were happy to get photo and video updates while away on vacation. It's clear she's passionate about dogs, and we'll definitely use her again!!”
“Laura was fantastic with our 1-yr-old Havanese, Ramen. She was attentive to details, sent photo and text updates, and her house was the perfect haven for our furbaby. He looked so happy and was clearly well-cared for. Laura shows that she loves dogs, is attuned to the anxiety that dog parents can have with boarding your furbaby, and was responsive. We loved leaving Ramen in her care. Thanks, Laura!”
“Rocio did a fantastic job watching Scout. We are traveling cross country and it is always a little disconcerting leaving Scout in an unfamiliar place. Rocio made it easy and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Scout was one happy camper.”
“Alex and Jacquelynne took great care of our dog, Tofu, over the weekend. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that Tofu was happy and well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing Tofu was in good hands. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to other pet owners!”
“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!”
“She did great with our girl & kept us updated every day & sent us pics too. Our pup looked & very much seemed loved like their own & we'll definitely look to her first if we need help again. 😊”
“Sofia was amazing through this whole process, she took such good care of my baby. I was super nervous to have him boarded somewhere for the first time but she kept me updated regularly and was always in contact to reaasure. She was also super understanding and flexible with our schedule, accepted my booking last minute and even agreed to extend our booking when something came up. I appreciate her excellent care would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again if available!”
“Christina and her partner James took amazing care of my anxious pup, Toast. She sent consistent updates that made me feel at peace with leaving him. The best part of all is that I came back to a very normal dog. He was very comfortable in their space and became friends with their sweet dog, Gizmo. Toast slept in bed with them every night and he wasnt left alone, like I was worried. I will 100% be using them again. I was so happy with how everything went!”

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.
Leslie was very kind and patient with my puppy. She took very good care of her and I felt more than safe leaving my pup with her. Leslie’s home was also clean and well put together and filled with dog toys! If I ever need boarding again I will for sure be booking with her.
I’m very particular about my dog’s care, so finding someone I truly trust is a challenge, but means everything to me. I’ve left my senior dog, Fable, in Laurie’s care several times over the past two years, and she goes above and beyond to provide us both with an amazing experience every single time. She’s attentive to the changing needs that come with an aging pup, is flexible, and communicates so well, which gives me tremendous peace of mind. I never have to worry because I know Fable is in such good hands. I cannot recommend Laurie highly enough and feel so, so lucky to have found someone I trust!
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 :)
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!!!!
We contacted Abigail when we were traveling through the area and needed our pups to have care for two days and 1 night while our family explored. We originally planned to drop them off at a local boarding facility, but thought they’d do better in a quieter environment. Abigail was available for a last minute booking, was super communicative the entire time, sent lots of pictures and updates, was very knowledgeable about our dog breed and dogs in general, had lots of things for them to do at her home and made sure to ask all kinds of questions beforehand so that her home, etc. was set up best for their care. We would definitely use her again if the need arose. Our first experience doing this kind of booking couldn’t have been smoother! Thanks Abigail!
Adam and Kirsten were absolutely amazing with Bruno! He was already limping before we dropped him off, and they took such great care of him and made sure to keep an eye on him the entire time. They sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The best part was picking Bruno up. He came home so happy and in such great spirits. It was obvious he was loved and well cared for. I would 1,000% recommend Adam and Kirsten to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gladstone is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. 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.

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, 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.
<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 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 , 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.
