“Ellie was BEYOND AMAZING. I've never left my dog (baby) with ANYONE other than close friends or family, and i'm very anxiously attached to her. I was very very nervous leading up to my trip, but the second my boyfriend and I met Ellie, we felt 10000 times better. She sent me so many photos, and kept me up to date on everything. The photos really made me feel more comfortable during the trip, I could tell she was very happy and comfortable. Also, anytime we leave Baby she almost always skips her lunch. Baby was eating both meals every single day which was a huge sign to me that Ellie made her comfortable and at home. I would recommend Ellie to everyone!! If you have any hesitations, set up a meet and greet and you will feel at ease the second you meet her. I can't thank Ellie enough, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to enjoy my vacation due to my worries but I wasn't worried for one second while I was away. 1,000/10, will be using Ellie in the future <3”
“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.”
“Samantha was great!! I ran into many crises during my trip and luckily I didn’t have to worry about my boy at all. I could tell Samantha was very caring and knew I was having trouble, so she even went out her way to accommodate me and the pup without complaint as she knew I had a lot on my plate. We need more Rover sitter like her!!”
“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!”
“Jack is always welcomed by Laura and any other pets staying at her house! She is so sweet to send pictures and updates of the days activities! She is our first choice!”
“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.”
“Rebecca did an amazing job taking care of Gizmo. She made him completely at home and a part of her family. Gizmo got lots of cuddles - which he loves! Rebecca sent photos during his stay so we could see how well he was getting along. We could relax and enjoy our trip since we we’re confident that Gizmo was so well cared for.”
“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!”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter for my little chihuahua! Bobbi sent lots of pictures and updates every day for the week he was there. He got to go on walks, spent lots of time in her fenced in yard, and got endless snuggles. We will definitely be visiting her again!”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve kept and rescued animals since a young age, which included tending to any wounds or injuries. My own pets were fosters, and most recently I fostered a lovely pittie who was then adopted. I’m very good with skittish cats, and I have a good understanding of basic dog training techniques. Lastly, I live a street away from a nice park which is good for dog walks. I love all animals, and spending time with them and caring for them is just as good for me as it is for them. I am currently self employed and jobs are few, so I have a very flexible schedule. Most, if not all my time would be dedicated to any pets in my care. I do have two of my own cats, so any dogs would have to be okay with cats in the house. All pets are different, with their own personalities, routines and likes/dislikes. Therefore, I plan to ask for detailed instructions regarding pet care. This can include things like a preference to crate the dog at night, dietary restrictions, favorite activities etc. I am detail oriented and appreciate any information or details owners can provide about their pets so that I may provide the best care possible.
“Hands down best dog sitting experience! We have an energetic 65lb and she was treated like a queen over a 5-day period with lots of exercise and attention. Our family really appreciated the extra TLC and communication. We knew our dog was in very caring hands the whole time!”
“Great sitter! Only my family has cared for him before and he hasn't been around other dogs much so I was a little anxious about leaving him with a stranger. My dog is big and strong and can be a handful but Ashley did a great job. Good communication. I'd feel very comfortable about leaving Champ with her again.”
“Naji was incredible. She gave both our dogs the live and attention we were hoping to find in the River app. She sent us videos and pictures every day. Kudos to your skills as a sitter, Naji! We truly appreciate you!”
“Melissa is who you need and who your pup deserves. She is the holy patron saint of dog care and I will never look elsewhere when I need to leave my two Great Danes. You can tell upon meeting her that she's a genuine dog lover, and her daily updates with photos made my 4-day trip a completely worry-free experience. The dog park located just outside her apartment door is amazing and ensures your dog has lots of time to exercise and socialize everyday. I can't say enough great things about our experience with Melissa. Look no further, she is the ONE.”
About: While this is my start of professional dog sitting, I’ve been watching family and friends’ pets for many years. I even fostered a dog with behavioral issues a couple of years ago. My dog is my whole world and any pet in my care gets the same attention. I WFH most days, going into the office for a half a day every Wednesday and 3 full days at the beginning of the month. My job doesn’t require me to be glued to my computer so I can be very flexible with my schedule most days. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to runaround. For wet or cold days, I have a mostly empty finished basement for playing. For dogs that want daily walks, I live in a safe neighborhood where I walk my own dog multiple times a day.
“Jillian was absolutely amazing with our baby, Scooby! She took wonderful care of him and provided updates and pictures! Scooby definitely enjoyed his "vacation" with Jillian and I will DEFINITELY book services with her again! This was the first time he has been away from us overnight and we were a little worried, but the updates she provided, we felt very reassured that he was in the best hands! Thank you Jillian!”
About: I am a retired police dispatcher and have a squeaky clean background. I love all animals! I provide calm, reliable care and treat every dog like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their dog with someone they trust, so I focus on safety, communication, and making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a dog’s normal routine, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention and care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I respect both the pet's routine and the home itself by following all care instructions carefully. I treat all dogs like they are my family.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Gladstone is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gladstone
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!
Laurie was absolutely amazing with our Jojo!. She was patient, kind, understanding and forgiving when our girl was anxious, grumpy and naughty. She did everything except maybe stand on her head to get Jojo's acceptance. I would definitely book with Laurie again and would recommend her with 5+ stars!!
Nathan did a really good job taking care of our husky! We were on a road trip along with another car that had constant issues on the drive back and we had to stop multiple times to help us all get home. Unfortunately, it ended up causing us to get home too late to pick her up. Nathan was very understanding and had no issues extending her stay until the next morning when my husband could pick her up. We greatly appreciated the flexibility and working with us during our unfortunate circumstances!
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!
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!
Taylor was absolutely amazing! She was extremely professional and wonderful with our dog, Luna. Luna gets pretty anxious with fireworks and thunderstorms. Taylor went above and beyond to make sure Luna was okay during the 4th of July festivities. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Cindy S. as advertised and beyond. Cindy kept me updated everyday with pictures. Took care of medications and was always responsive. This was the first time my dog was away from the family in a long time and we were very worried. Cindy helped take away that worry. This is a high recommendation for her services. Worth every penny. Thank you Cindy for taking care of our loved one when we could not.
We have used so many dog sitters over the years and Rhonda was the absolute best! She gave our dog so much attention. She sent us videos and pictures showing us he was having the time of his life! She has a huge backyard that he loved to run around in. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for their pup to stay!
It is very clear the love Elizabeth had for our dogs while watching them. She set photo updates and checked in with us on any questions. It stormed while she watched our dogs and she was very tentative to our dog with storm anxiety! I will definitely be asking Elizabeth if she will watch our fur kiddos again!

There are 1,107 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gladstone. About 92% of Gladstone sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
