“Stephen and Hannah took wonderful care of our Border Collie Hiro. They made a comfortable and warm environment. Drop off and pick up was easy. Hiro came back a happy dog. We will definitely be back!”
“I’ve used Kay a few times now and she takes the best care of my little dog. I get several updates a day and he never seems stressed when I pick him up. Fantastic place for senior dogs!”
“Excellent communication. My dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was nervous to leave my dogs b cause I never had left them before this past weekend. I felt very secure leaving Buddy and Louie with Ashley and Tyler. Will definitely be rebooking, I won't even consider leavingy pets with anyone else!”
“She was so nice and friendly. I hate leaving my dog anywhere and I’m so attached, she really helped with the walking out the door problem, she immediately noticed we had a hard time leaving each other and crouched down to distract her so she didn’t watch me leave and I didn’t have to watch her give me the look of abandonment. When we picked her up, she was happy and energetic. I believe she had a great time with Aisha. Will definitely continue to use her as a doggie sitter for every time I need one. Thank you so much for taking care of my baybay. ?”
“Janet was amazing, going above a beyond our expectations of a dog sitter. As a late request, she was able to pick up/drop off our dogs from our house. While she was there, our cats (that she was not sitting) had a few accidents on our floor. While she was dropping my dogs off, she picked up the accidents that were made by our other animals. I would highly recommend her and her services!”
“Sarah-Beth is an incredible pet sitter! My cat Rosco had a blast with her. She took amazing care for him, was super quick with messaging back, sent cute pictures while I was away, and was an absolute lifesaver when my flight got delayed and I ended up having to leave him with her a couple extra days. I highly recommend Sarah-Beth!”
“Cody took great care of our Maui dog and we were so grateful he was available to keep him so last minute! He sent updates throughout the weekend, was kind, friendly, and welcoming! Thanks again Cody!!”
“Crystal was absolutely wonderful and amazing while taking care of my dad's dog for three days always kept me posted with messages and photos on how Jackie's day was and how she was enjoying her time with rose I would highly recommend her to watch my dogs or any other dog without a doubt in my mind.”
“Nina was amazing. Tucker had a lot of fun with her. I’m sure he enjoyed a lot playing with her big and sweet dogs. She sent me pictures and was very responsive. And besides that he got home worn out, meaning that he burned a lot of his energy.”
“Ray and his wife are amazing dog sitters! My dog bonded with them so well. I can tell they are absolute dog lovers and willl treat your dog like royalty. Highly recommend”
“Our Duke had a great time at Brittney’s house. She sent me pictures how he was playing with her dog until they were exhausted! 😄 However, it was only for one night but I would recommend her. She loves what she does! 🐾”
“Christopher was fantastic to work with. He was responsive and made me feel at ease. You could tell from the start that he is a pet lover and I felt confident Wily would be well taken care of. I will definitely be using Christopher again!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and grew up surrounded by animals, including horses, cats, and sheep. I also have professional experience working at a doggie daycare, where I gained additional hands-on experience caring for dogs and understanding their individual personalities and needs. At 54, I bring a lifetime of animal experience, patience, and a genuine love for caring for pets. I enjoy playing with dogs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, companionship, and affection. My fenced backyard provides a safe space for dogs to play and enjoy outdoor time. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make each one feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving owners peace of mind knowing their beloved companions are receiving attentive, loving care. My schedule is flexible, and I enjoy spending plenty of time with the pets in my care. I’m available for playtime, walks, outdoor fun in my fenced backyard, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away! My home is a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive supervision, gentle handling, regular playtime and walks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Pets can enjoy outdoor time in my securely fenced backyard, while I follow each pet’s routine, needs, and comfort level.
About: We've had pets my whole life. When I was younger, my parents bred a variety of animals ranging from Persian cats to Jack Russells and Dobermans. I also have experience caring for exotic reptiles and birds. I'm a dog mom to three adorable Dachschunds. When your animals are with me, they will be treated like family. My whole family loves animals. My sister is a veterinary technician that trains and shows animals in her spare time, and my daughter is looking to follow in her footsteps. I currently work part-time, only during the week. I have night time availability and full weekend availability. Also have a break mid day if needed. I love animals of every kind. I would love to care for your animals in either my home or yours. I have experience with any type of animal. I do not have a fenced in backyard, but live off of a secluded side street in Bella Vista ending in a Culdesac. We love long walks, and can make sure that your dogs get plenty of exercise. If children friendly, I have older kids that love to play. They engage with the animals properly, and know how to respect boundaries. My sister does dog training, and my kids often like to help her train her Dobermans and German Shepherd.
“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”

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 Goodman 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 Goodman 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 Goodman.
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 Goodman. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Goodman 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.
