“Catherine was great! She is super friendly and loving! My doggie had a blast hanging out with her. She keeps you at ease by providing cute picture updates and funtivities that your furry friend is doing. I definitely recommend her she’s great, I’ll definitely be going to her again!”
About: Hi beautiful people! I am Sky and I was raised around animals and have spent everyday of my life with them, so I started doing paid pet sitting gigs and fell in love with it. I have experience with dogs, cats, and farm animals, as well as special needs and elderly pets. I don’t mind carrying an elderly dog outside to potty, and I will clean up any accidents. I love them all like my own! If you are over 20 minutes from my home, I may charge an additional fee for mileage on drop ins and overnight stays. I don’t mind taking bookings further away, but this means less time to check on other animals and more time driving. (And those dang gas prices are awful!) This has become my full time job and I love seeing my regulars every week, along with new faces! I spend all my time with animals. I prefer to do safe pet sitting in your home, providing updates often and following all rules you have set for your home. Please be specific about rules for your home and the amount of care you are looking for. My prices are firm and reflect my experience and reviews. Constant care will be charged at an hourly rate instead of an overnight rate so I am fairly compensated for the extra time spent. I have worked hard to learn about this business and to build clientele who respect me and my time and I will only take new bookings that understand this! 🫶🏻
“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.”
“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.”
“AWESOME!!! VERY CARING!!! Leslie did an amazing job caring for my little dog! She is caring and loves pets. She cared for my dog for 5 days and had perfect care the entire time. I look forward to using Leslie again!!”
“I went into Jacquelines house and just got the best vibe. I felt totally comfortable leaving my baby with her and her family! Which is such a huge relief because that always has not been the case with other places!! I was sent pictures of my boy having a great vacation while I was on mine! I would totally recommend!”
“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.”
“I can't thank Gail and Dog Vacay enough!! Right from the meet and greet I knew I had picked the best. Our 12 year old Aussie/Collie mix Sydney felt so at home immediately. Gail's comfortable home let Sydney keep up with her daily pastimes: sleeping on the sofa and looking out the window! :) Sydney takes daily meds which were administered with no problem. Gail sent updates and even pictures to us that made my vacation more relaxed too. Gail's other little border gave Sydney a fun friend. I'm not sure Sydney wanted us to come home! Gail is a teriffic lady and was a great surrogate mom for Sydney. Thanks again- Christine B.”
“This was my first time using Rover for sitting service. Erin had lots of positive reviews and was a great dog sitter for my pet. She sent me daily updates along with pictures which was fun to receive. It was a great experience and I'm already scheduling my dog's next stay. I would highly recommend giving Erin a try. You will be glad you did!”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
About: I've had numerous pets throughout my life including dogs, cats and even a lizard. I currently have two cats in and a bearded dragon. I love animals and enjoy caring for them! At this time I am in-between jobs so my schedule is open. I am available at any time unless one of my kids has an event then I will block out that time frame. My cats eat once a day, and I fill their bowls every morning. My bearded dragon has salad in the mornings, and whatever protein of the day in the afternoon/evening. I am available to do the same for other fur babies and would gladly take dogs for walks to get some steps in! I prioritize the safety of not just my own animals, but all animals I encounter. I adore animals and wish I could help them all.
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“When I reached out to Rocio I was stressed. I had my sweet little Chachi scheduled to be boarded at a facility, and I just felt uneasy. He's a rescue and I was very concerned that he would think he was back in a shelter environment. She responded to my inquiry very quickly, and we set up a meet & greet for the next day. She's very friendly and genuinely a pet lover. I knew my boy would be left in good hands...and I was right. She kept me up to date with how things were going. And sent me lots of pics. She put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again. I recommend you reach out to her, as well!”
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.
“My sweet Sadie had a blast! She must have really Enjoyed her time with Susan and her family Because she was so tired when she got back! I was sent pictures and daily updates to reassure my worrying about her. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 443 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Homestead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Homestead 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 Homestead 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 Homestead.
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 Homestead. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Homestead 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.
