“Mary was great with my little terrier mix, who typically needs some time to warm up to new people. She gave him his space, and a few hours later…they were friends! She also communicated well and gave a daily update with photo, which I appreciated. Will definitely use her again.”

“Jeanne goes the extra mile to make sure any dogs under her care are comfortable, content and well-cared for. There was a cold spell and snow storm while our little senior guy was staying with her and she made sure he was wearing a sweater (indoors and out) or had extra access to blankets in his “bed of choice” to stay warm. I felt very comfortable and assured he was in good hands to stay with Jeanne!”

About: I grew up around dogs and spent four years volunteering at an animal shelter in college, where I worked with dogs of every size, energy level, and temperament—including shy, anxious, and reactive pups who needed extra patience. Today I'm a dog mom to Coco, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I keep routines consistent, follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work a full-time consulting job with a flexible, project-based schedule, so I open bookings by date rather than every week. When I'm available, your dog gets my full attention—no hours alone in a crate. My Rover calendar is always kept current, so if a date shows open, I'm truly available. I'm happy to do a meet & greet before any first stay. My home in Webster Groves is a quiet house with a fenced backyard, and the landscaping was planned with dog-safe plants. I host one family's dogs at a time, so your pup is never in a crowd. My dog Coco is a 30 lb mixed breed who is gentle and easygoing with other dogs—she'll play for a bit, then happily nap and give your pup space. She's a little shy with new people, so meet & greets are relaxed and low-pressure. I require a meet & greet before every new stay, walk on leash only, double-check gates and doors, and keep your vet's info and an emergency plan on hand.

About: I used to have two dogs: a German Shepherd and a Pug. I also had two cats. My friend took them in when I moved and I still get to see them regularly. They were the most loving dogs and cats I could have ever asked for. I love animals and will treat your pet like it’s my own! I work from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays, but I’m always available after work and on weekends to take care of your pet. I can provide your pet with all the attention they require. I reside in an apartment with ample outdoor space, but I’ll take them for walks whenever necessary.

“Reba was absolutely amazing! She watched our 1 year old corgi overnight at her house and he had a blast. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and our pup got so much love, play time, and cuddles. It was over 100 degrees when Archie stayed with Reba and we really appreciated how cautious she was about the dogs being in the heat for too long and made sure they were cooled off and hydrated. We will absolute be booking with Reba again and I know Archie can’t wait!”

She watched our 11 month old puppy and three year old dog in her home, and they had a blast! Dawn’s dog, Bailey, was sweet as can be and got along well with our dogs. Dawn sent us pictures while they were there and really loved on them. She opened her home to our dogs and made them feel right at home. I highly recommend Dawn and will use her again.”

About: We’re a husband and wife duo who share a love for animals and their personalities. We strive to make every fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I, Mariah, grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and all small critters in between. Nathan and I have our own Sphynx cat for the past 3 years and our dog for 11. We know firsthand that every fur baby has their own unique personality, needs, and quirks! Our dog and cat both require medication and extra attention. Our cat has a heart condition which has given us valuable experience administering medications and providing specialized care. We understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and knowledgeable looking after your baby, especially if they need a little extra TLC. In addition to caring for our own babies, we’ve been doing house visits for both dogs and cats through Rover for around 4 years, and we absolutely love meeting every single one of our feline guests! Whether your baby is playful and adventurous, shy and cuddly, or happiest lounging in a cozy spot, we want them to feel right at home while you’re away. As a team, we work together to provide a loving, attentive environment where your animals individual needs and routines matter. We know pets are family, and we’ll treat your precious fur baby like one of our own! Mariah currently works full time outside the home while Nathan works a hybrid schedule but his work allows him to work from home when needed. Both have a flexible schedule that allows for care of pets at any time of the day. We just bought a new house that we have a leash setup for our dog since the yard is unfenced. If this is okay for your animal we can set them up this way as well but if not we are open to anything that would work better for them. We are big on safety in and out of the home. If the dogs for some reason do not get along they are able to be separated since our house is large enough to do so. Our neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and safe. If we are coming to your home or we are welcoming them into ours, we will gladly follow any instructions left for us to ensure that the fur babies are comfortable and safe.

“Greg and family took care of Raven for 10 days while we were visiting our son's family in North Carolina. Everything went very well it seems and we are so pleased with the care and compassion that Greg and team put into their care for Raven. We received a picture each day which helped ease our sense of missing her. This is just the perfect place for her. We've already scheduled two more doggie day care sessions and truly appreciate working with them. Can't praise them enough as Raven is not the easiest dog to take care of.”

About: I'm 31 years old and have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. Not necessarily in a professional setting, but I have years of experience pet sitting for my friends and family. Walking, bathing/grooming, training, administering medicine, etc - I can do it all. I currently have 1 dog and 1 cat of my own + tons of extra love/time on my hands during the week for your fur family. Ask me anything, I'm an open book! I have the most availability Saturday/Sunday evenings and Monday - Friday in the afternoons between 3 PM - 8 PM. There are a few week day mornings that I will have available starting at 8 AM (depending on when I get scheduled to work my other job) I live a block away from Tower Grove Park and will happily take dogs there to get some steps in! I have a backyard that is not fenced in, so they will be leashed if taken out back to go potty. There is a large crate here if that's ever needed. They are welcome to lay on my couch and bed, but there is a dog bed available as well + plenty of toys for them to chew and feel right at home with.

“I don't have enough words to thank Ursula and her husband for the wonderful care they provided for our dog, Cocoa. They sent me lots of pictures every day, which gave me peace of mind and showed just how happy and comfortable Cocoa was in their home. She also seemed to really enjoy the company of their dog. I could tell Cocoa was well cared for because she was actually sad when we brought her back home from Ursula's house! I was looking for someone who would treat her like a member of the family, and I was a little nervous about leaving her there since it was the first time we had ever been apart. However, I can confidently say that Ursula and her husband cared for Cocoa as if she were their own. I am so grateful for their kindness and dedication, and I will definitely be using Ursula again in the future.”

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 970 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Imperial. About 92% of Imperial sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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.

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 .

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.
