“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.”
“Haley. Did an amazing job with Alfi. We had a setback right of the bat as I was already in Puerto Rico. She handled it with grace. And continued taking care of Alfi till I got back late last night. I picked him up this morning and Alfi was a very happy dog, Went over the issue we had early on and was on my way. I would bet good money that Haley is most likely the best pet sitter on this sight. She sent pictures and updates every day without me even asking. She sent me home a cool picture of Alfi as a momentous of his stay with her and her family. If u need a great place for your pet. Send him or her to Haley. Because you will have no worries while you are away. Haley is a great person as well as a great person to take care of your pet.”
“Laura went beyond our expectations. She took fantastic care of our little Heidi while we were on vacation for ten days. She sent us great photos and stories of what they were doing everyday. Laura even worked with Heidi on different commands like stay and down. I can't even begin to say enough good things about Laura. I would give her 100 stars if Rover would let me.”
About: I have taken care of healthy outgoing puppies to pets with special needs that require a little more personalized care and attention. I enjoy taking care of them all. I am a 10 year retiree that has plenty of time to share with loving pets. I have my own vehicle and a flexible schedule. I am a retired IT professional from the Federal Reserve. I value quality, professionalism, and honesty. I am punctual and I have good communication skills.
“Jenna was super easy to communicate with and they took great care of our dog! Mo had the best time with them. We are super grateful they were willing to watch our very energetic dog :)”
“Michael was very respectful and nice when dropping off my cat for a in house sit. He updated me regularly which made me feel comfortable and safe with how everything was going. Definitely happy and recommend Michael!”
“Our two little dogs spent over 2 weeks with Misty and her family. Misty updated us and sent photos daily, and the dogs had a great time. One is older with Cushing's disease, needing special care and meds, and Misty was great in taking good care of her. Our little dogs were happy, looking out the windows, playing in the yard, going for walks, and being loved. It was a great experience and we plan to use Misty again on future trips.”
“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”
“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”
“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!”
“Repeat customer here! My baby and I absolutely LOVE Emily and her babies so much. Emily is truly in a league of her own. Her love for dogs is unmistakable. You can tell she isn’t doing this just for the money. She genuinely enjoys caring for them, making them feel at home, and giving them the attention, affection, and fun they deserve. Emily gives me complete peace of mind. She treats Soup like one of her own, keeps me consistently updated, and goes above and beyond to make his stay special with fun experiences and little adventures. She was also incredibly flexible and did her best to accommodate my short-notice request, which I truly appreciated. Every update shows him happy, relaxed, and clearly living his best life. At this point, I honestly feel like he has found his second home. And please don’t let Emily’s big babies intimidate you! They are incredibly sweet, gentle, friendly, and well trained. It’s obvious how much love, time, and care Emily pours into her own dogs, and she extends that same warmth and attention to every dog in her care. I truly couldn’t recommend Emily more highly. Knowing Soup is with her means I can relax and enjoy my time away without worrying, because I know he is safe, loved, and having an amazing time. The only con? Your baby might not want to come home. 😂 Soup certainly doesn’t seem to!”
“My normal sitter was out of town so I had to find another sitter to watch my Charlie. As a typical doggy parent, I was really nervous about letting someone I didn’t know watch him. After going to thru all the reviews and pictures, I decided to choose Karissa. Well, she didn’t disappoint. She was constantly in contact with me throughout the weekend to assure that my little man was enjoying himself and in good hands. She sent plenty of pictures of him playing and gave plenty of updates. If you’re having any doubt at all about leaving your fur baby with a stranger, don’t have any doubt at all with Karissa. Will definitely use her again if need be. Thanks again Karissa!”
“Katie's home was very welcoming to us and our Murray. We met Katie, her son, mom and sister at our meet & greet. A very friendly family, all dog lovers. Murray made himself at home immediately, checking out the new territory, and quickly found a playmated, Maggie. We had a comfortable feeling immediately with no concerns that Murray would be well taken care of. Katie will be our go-to-sitter if needed in the future. Murray seconds this decision. He enjoyed his vacation and slept for 2.5 days after coming home!”
“Wow! Judith was amazing! So professional, so easy going, so nice and genuinely cared about my dog. I was SO comfortable leaving my baby with her. She wanted to know everything about Nikki. Bed times, feeding times, where Nikki liked to be scratched!!!! I loved that she called my dog “her guest.” Another amazing thing was Judith sent not only photos during the day and evening but a little information about Nikki’s day. That way I got a glimpse of how Nikki was doing. Plus, Nikki is a senior dog and Judith had no problem with her special needs. . She even spoiled her with some treats (which she made sure I was okay with) and spoiled her. We found the perfect animal lover to take care of our Nikki while we had to be away. Judith is our go to for sure! Xoxox”
“Carly & Doug were excellent in taking care of our fur baby. I recommend them to anyone who would like to have top notch care for their fur babies. Thank you so much!!”
About: The doggy door is the best thing about my place — your dog decides when to be outside, into a fully fenced yard. My young goldendoodle will happily play all day. Nights are crated unless your dog does better otherwise; I'll match whatever they're used to. I work full-time, mostly in the office. But my kitchen has a doggy door leading to a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can come and go as they please all day. I also have a 1.5-year-old doodle who gets along well with other dogs and is happy to play or nap, depending on the mood. Evenings and weekends, we walk the neighborhood, play fetch in the backyard, or head to a park or dog café for some socializing. Treats and cuddles to end the day. A fenced yard and a built-in doodle playmate to keep your fur baby company. I crate at night- let me know if your dog isn't used to that. I feed twice a day and give treats throughout, or whatever schedule you'd like, just tell me what your dog is used to.
“John and his family were amazing with our puppy. Communication was excellent and we enjoyed the pictures and videos they sent during our trip. They took him in like a member of their family and our little dude was kept healthy and happy. We will definitely be rebooking with this wonderful family!”
“Jeanne is highly recommended, this is the second time she has watched our two dogs and was the only person on Rover that I considered for my most recent trip. I love all the pictures she sends during the stay, she treats the dogs like family!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Imperial is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $53 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 958 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Imperial. 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 Imperial 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 Imperial 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 Imperial.
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 Imperial. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Imperial 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.
