“Jessie was great! She treats your dogs like family and gives daily updates on how your pups are doing. It brings such comfort knowing your dogs are being taken care of and loved.”
“Great! I could tell that my dog enjoyed himself and wasnt too stressed. Since he has severe separation anxiety, I was a bit nervous that he wouldnt do good being away for so long but she took great care of him! Will definition be using her again!”
“Allison did a great job caring for our Pom, Gracie, for a 10 trip. Gracie had never stayed w/anyone but family so I was very happy to find Allison. Gracie was very comfortable there and happy. I would highly recommend Allison, especially for a small dog!”
“Leslie took such good care of our pup. He had never been away from home before so this was so out of his comfort zone but she took such good care of him. Would love for her to be one go-to dog sitter.”
“Kelly- Thank you so much for taking such great care of Addie! This was my first time boarding her with you and it was a wonderful experience for both of us. It is clear Kelly has a lot of experience with dogs and their different behaviors. You and your husband are so compassionate and caring, and it is obvious how much you truly enjoy pet sitting. Kelly sent daily updates and pictures. She is also an excellent communicator, and I had complete peace of mind knowing Addie was in such great hands. Will definitely utilize Kelly again. Mary Ann A.”
“Trevor was great with our big puppy. We get pretty nervous leaving him but Trevor assured us he was doing really well. Plenty of photos were taken and he had the best time!”
“Lori is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. Our dog came back happy and well cared for. Additionally, our dog had some medical needs and Lori was attentive and caring, allowing his healing to not be impeded.”
“Great dog sitter and I felt safe leaving my dog with him. The only disappointment was, my dogs favorite toy was thrown away because it got ruined. (I did have to ask about the missing toy first.) I don’t know how it happened because my dog usually doesn’t play rough. I won’t knock a star off for that, because I know things happen. But next time, just let me know without me having to ask. Thanks. 😊”
“Lona and Alan were fantastic! They were very thorough in getting to know the details about caring for Skipper, and communication was excellent. They gave my high-energy pup lots of playtime, walks, and attention. They also sent lots of photos throughout his stay - I could tell he was having a great time!”
“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!”
“Becky is absolutely wonderful. We always know he is in good hands with her. She sends photos and videos every day to show us how happy he is to be hanging out with her.”
“Misti and her daughter were great. They sent updates throughout the day and pictures and I could tell that they were true dog lovers and cared for our pup like he was their own. Would use them again!!”
“Booking with Mackenzie was a breeze from start to finish-even with issues on my end with flights/pick up, she was great! I appreciated knowing our dogs were ok for an entire week with someone new and came home happy. Thank you and we will definitely be using/recommending you for future needs!”
“Kelsey was fantastic. Gave us regular updates and clearly cared for our boy Obi. It’s hard for us to leave our dog in other people’s care, and Kelsey made us feel safe and reassured the whole time. Obi has a new babysitter for sure! Thank you for everything Kelsey!”
“Amber is always communicative and keeps us up to speed on Hopper’s activities while we’re away. Hopper loves playing with her pups and always looks excited about his excursions to hang out with Amber and her crew. Highly recommend.”
“Sara was amazing with our senior pup! She sent daily updates with photos and our shy pup was well-loved throughout our time away. We will definitely book with Sara again in the future!”

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
