“Rachell sent pictures and had a big yard for Lacey. I know Lacey is glad to be back home, but she won't be as anxious next time she visits Rachell and her new bird and dog friends.”
“Freckles was well taken care of and we had no worries leaving him with Dave. We received pictures and updates daily and will definitely use Dave going forward when we need a sitter!”
“Laura was fantastic! We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She sent pictures and gave them lots of love. I would highly recommend using Laura for your dog sitting needs.”
“Zinaida was amazing. She was very flexible and accommodating for pick up and drop off. She took great care of the pups with walks and play time and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely rebook!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my giant 80 pound not very well trained ?. She sent pics and was very responsive to messages. And she’s very friendly and welcoming. If she lets me I’ll hands down use her from now on!”
“Paula is wonderful! She is a very kind person who took excellent care of our Lennie. Also, she was very responsive to all of our texts and even texted photos of him. Lennie came home a very happy guy! I highly recommend her and I will definitely work with her again.”
“Lorri was great to work with. Zuma was happy and healthy on her return and I have no doubt Lorri treated Zuma as though she as her own. Lorri does a great job of keeping you updated with messages and photos while you are away. It's nice to have that assurance. Will will definitely book with Lorri for future needs.”
“Misty and her family were wonderful and my pup was well taken care of during her stay! Misty gave daily updates and made pick up and drop off so easy. You can tell they love dogs and so warmly welcomed my pup in to their home. I would recommend Misty to anyone!”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“I have no complaints. It was a smooth pickup/drop off and my pup seemed to have a lot of fun! Sascha was very accommodating, helping us watch our pup on pretty short notice. Highly recommend!”
“We have left our almost 15 year old poodle, Peaches, with Carly and Doug several times. Most recently, we left her there while we were traveling out of the country for 9 days. Everything went great!! They treat Peaches just like family! We are very comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely be contacting them again for future visits!!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I grew up with large-breed dogs and have loved dogs my entire life. When I moved out on my own, adopting a dog was one of the first things I did! I currently have three resident dogs, all of whom I trained myself. Two of the three have severe separation anxiety, so I'm quite well-versed in some of the behavioral traits that come along with that. For the past two years, I've also been actively involved in the dog rescue world by fostering. I've fostered 12 dogs ranging from young puppies who needed to learn the basics to adult dogs who came with more challenging behavioral needs such as resource guarding. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, and adaptable with every dog I care for. I understand that not every dog is going to walk into a new environment perfectly behaved, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a perfectly behaved adult, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My resident dogs still rule my daily routine. Your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day/night and can have potty breaks as consistently as needed. I've house trained seven puppies over the past two years, so I'm very used to frequent potty breaks if that's something your pup needs. Otherwise, every 2-4 hours is pretty consistent with the routine my resident dogs are on. I've fostered dogs with a variety of different needs and have always worked it into my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, so I'm happy to adapt my approach to each dog's individual needs and your preferences as a pet parent. I do have three resident dogs in my home, all of whom are extremely dog friendly. Ideally, dogs staying in my home will be comfortable around other dogs, but I understand that not every dog wants or needs constant interaction. I have a separate guest room that I've previously used for foster dogs who needed some quiet time or a slower introduction. If your pup needs their own space, they can have a dedicated area away from my resident dogs while still having plenty of company - I work from home, and the guest room also serves as my home office. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always taken outside on a leash. I also have a long line that allows fogs more freedom to sniff, explore, and play while remaining safely contained. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether your dog is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home. When caring for a dog in your home, I'll follow your instructions and do my best to maintain your pup's normal routine, including feeding, medication, walks, potty breaks, and any other care they're accustomed to. My priority is always safety, communication, and making sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!
“We are so incredibly thankful for the care that our doodle received from Kaitlyn and her husband! We received pictures and updates during his stay, which really gave us a piece of mind! We are more than pleased with the care our pup received! Many many thanks!!! :-)”
“Ali is fantastic! She is helpful, responsive and super flexible. She took care of our dog as if he was her own. We will definitely ask Ali to board again if she will have him!”
“Tiffiny was great! She communicated well, sent periodic updates and pics and my dog Bella got plenty of exercise and outdoors time in her fenced in back yard. Tiffiny is also conveniently located very near my home so drop off and pick up was easy. I will definitely bring Bella back to stay with Tiffiny the next time I travel.”
“Samantha has 2 friendly dogs, a designated gated space for the dogs, and a large fenced in backyard. My dogs felt instantly comfortable playing with her dogs! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs there and appreciated daily photos, I could tell my dogs were having a great time! Would definitely use her again”
“Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Imperial
Christina did a very good job watching my dog Bernie. She did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing throughout the stay. She was good with communication too and very flexible to my schedule. She had a great yard for him to release all that energy. I would recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
This was the first time we left our dogs for more than a weekend. Dave was great for the dogs, they alway looked so relaxed when he would send photos. They had a great time playing with his furry babies in his awesome backyard. We will definitely be booking him again.
Our girl was well taken care of and very happy when she came back to us! Always quick to respond to check ins and send photos which we loved. We would definitely use Chrystle and her husband again for pet sitting! Thank you for loving on our girl while we were gone!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Imperial 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 Imperial.
<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.

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.

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.
