“Blake took excellent care of my extra large dog! He sent videos every day and gave him the same care he would have gotten at home! Grateful for a great place for my pup to vacation while I was on vacation!”
“Excellent host! Arrived very early in the morning for drop-off and arrived later at night for pick-up. Accommodating. Sent updates. And took care of my pup. Thank you!”
“Lorri was just wonderful and a true gem! Charlee loved his stay with her. She consistently messaged and sent pictures to update me on his stay. She was so attentive to him and he was very relaxed with her. It really made me feel so comfortable leaving him with her to have a relaxing vacation. THANK YOU, Lorri!”
“Misty was great. She was very flexible about drop off and pick up. She sent pics and updates while I was away, which I loved. I would highly recommend her for your pup!”
“Pearl had a wonderful time staying with Leslie! As a tiny dog with a big dramatic streak, Pearl always lets us know how she feels about a boarding experience when she comes home. She gave Leslie five stars! She also let us know that she'd prefer it if life at home could be a little more like life at Leslie's house. As humans, we also really appreciated how easy it was to communicate and coordinate logistics with Leslie. Thank you, Leslie!!”
“I can’t thank Caitlin and Adam enough for how they took care of our 9 month puppy for two weeks!! I was anxious to be gone that long from him, but their set up was perfect and Caitlin’s communication was so great. We were able to relax and fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was in capable and caring hands. Thank you SO much!!”
“Our 17 year old dachshund spent his last visit with Lesley recently. And the only reason it was his last stay was because we just moved out of state. Henry spent a lot of time being cared for by Lesley over the last couple of years and each time was a great experience for him. We had peace of mind that he was well cared for and content and we will miss Lesley’s care a LOT!”
“Carly and her family were the best sitters for Coco we could have asked for! Coco had so much fun she almost didn’t want to come home! We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking with Carly again!”
“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”
“Karen was wonderful to work with! I could tell she was genuinely excited to take care of Pippin. She even had a basket waiting for him and sent me photos, videos and updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Uno was in great hands! All the updates with pictures and videos were comforting to know he was okay while we were out of town. No issues and he even met a new friend :) Thanks again!”
“I can trust Ali to communicate any needs that Sasha might have while we are gone. Ali is so good with dogs. Sasha likes spending time with Ali and her family, and Ali puts up with Sasha's behaviors (sometimes chewing things, sometimes pestering the cats). The pictures Ali sends are a bonus.”
“Laronna and her Mom were great sitters! Mocha is a senior dog and wears diaper but they were able to accommodate her. Mocha was comfortable and happy. We love the pictures and videos update. We highly recommended her and will definitely use her service again. Thanks again Laronna!”
“Amelia was great! My dog was totally comfortable at her home. She sent pictures each day and kept us posted on how he was doing. She also took him on big walks through the parks. Would definitely recommend and will use again!”
“Jennifer and her fur baby Kooper were so welcoming to my Nori! He thoroughly enjoyed his stay, behaved and got lots of beauty rest! I feel like he has a new Auntie. 🥰 We will be back!! Thank you again Jennifer”

I just retrieved my happy & healthy dog from a long weekend with Sue. This was the 2nd time she's watched him. Both times have been wonderful. I receive updates with photos, and he gets his favorite activities- sunbathing & walking. My dog is a trickster, but her yard is securely fenced in. 5⭐️!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Brian, Abigail and their entire family. Both our dogs absolutely LOVE being with their family and I know they are being given exceptional care and love. Having Brian and Abigail watch our pups has made traveling so much more enjoyable for us becuss we
I've asked Alycia to take Pixie many times and it's always a great experience. Pixie loves staying with her and comes back super tired from the boarding. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended. I think Alycia has boarded Pixie at least 5 or 6 times now with the same high level of care and communication.
Reema was lovely! She took care of our dog Chi Chi while we were on a long vacation and gave daily updates. Chic Chi also had a playmate as Reema has a small dog herself who’s was as welcoming and friendly as the owners. Chi Chi got plenty of love, affection and playtime and returned home a happy pup. Highly recommend!
Laura and Patrick were phenomenal dogsitters for us--they took such great care of Teddy and have a beautiful backyard. We appreciated the pictures and updates while we were out of town. They went above and beyond to get special dog food and a prescription from our vet when our dog dealt with "stress colitis" from being away from us and they handled it all in stride. We are so grateful we found them--it was our first time using Rover and we were really happy with the entire experience!
Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kirkwood on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,100 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kirkwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Kirkwood 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 Kirkwood 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 Kirkwood 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 Kirkwood.
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 Kirkwood 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.
