“Our dog had a great time boarding with Lisa. There was lots of love, outdoor time, and playtime with the sweet host’s dogs. We had a schedule conflict, and Lisa was very kind and accommodating to our last-minute request. We would love to reserve service with Lisa in the future!”
“Ximena always does a terrific job! This time she let us know that Pugsley wasn't eating well and offered him some special food, after checking with us. That was all it took to get him to eat like her dogs and he came home happy and well fed! We always trust that Pugsley will get great care!”
“Samantha was great at communicating and taking pictures while we were gone. She spent extra time comforting Pilgrim during the 4th of July celebrations. Would definitely use again!”
“Best dog sitting experience we have had so far! Sabine is professional, friendly, and very caring. From the reservation to the time we came back to pick up Argos, we were greeted with smiles and vibrant energy. She introduced Argos to other dogs very professionally and demonstrated outstanding positive reinforcement skills. During Argos stay, she took Argos for long walks and swim by a river and let the dogs roll over mud (as seen in the videos) She sent us videos of every step Argos took, from his interactions to other dogs, the good times they had, and even their bedtime. We highly recommend Sabine and will see her again! Having a reliable dog sitter is a blessing. Thank you Sabine.”
“Highly recommended, Naee went above and beyond for our fur-baby Star. We will definitely be coming back to her again when we need the help ? Thanks so much for taking great care of our ⭐️”
“Sierra was amazing ! She took good care of Cody and he was happy when I picked him up. I could tell that he felt very comfortable with her and her family. I would definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her for any service.❤️❤️🐾🐾”
“Sydney was great to work with to make Ian's stay comfortable and safe. He is an old dog and I was concerned that his special needs, which require medications on a schedule would be too disruptive to Sydney's routine but she had no problem. I really appreciated the prompt and solid communication.”
“Victoria was great with Bella. Provided updates and pictures daily, and answered messages right away. Most importantly, Bella loved her and staying there. Thank you!”
“Brock and Rashelle provided exceptional care for my beloved fur baby. Their kindness and affection truly shone through, making my pet feel right at home. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup, and I appreciated the daily walks and outdoor playtime they ensured he had. I also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend their services!”
About: Tons of animal experience, have been pet sitting since around the age of 13 for family and friends! Happy to provide references to make you know your pet is getting the best care! I currently am PRN for the state hospital so get to pick my own schedule! That being said I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I have a huge yard and large apartment with plenty of space to make your animals feel comfortable and welcomed while staying in my home!
“Mooncake always has the best time with Stephanie, Kyle, and their sweet dogs! Stephanie sends frequent and thoughtful updates with wonderful photos and videos throughout the day, which I always appreciate. Mooncake is so happy and comfortable with them that he rarely wants to leave—he always tries to sneak in a few extra snuggles with Stephanie at the door. I'm so grateful for the care they give him!”
“I had to find a dog sitter last minute when our care fell through and I felt comfortable leaving g Zoey with Catlyn after our first conversation! I got updates when I asked, she made sure Zoey was comfortable and happy. Will definitely use Catlyn again!”
“Our dog Sammi is over 14 years old and I needed a caring sitter for when we went on our 12 day trip. Sammi had stayed at Amanda's house before and liked Amanda and her dog Frankie. This trip was perfect having reassurance that Sammi was in a loving home and AMANDA kept us aware of how Sammi was doing. The picture she sent to us where Sammi was laying in Frankie's bed with Frankie was too cute! I know Sammi had a great stay at Amanda's house and we will use her whenever we need s sitter. Thank you AMANDA!!!”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my puppy for the weekend! When I went to drop Lottie off she brought her dog down so that they could meet on neutral territory, which was really nice and during the weekend she text me updates and pics every day. I liked that she only took one pet at a time in addition to hers, that made me feel much safer leaving my puppy there. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”

83% of Jefferson City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Jefferson City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Jefferson City 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 Jefferson City.
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.
You and your Jefferson City 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.
