“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!”
“We were in town for an important business meeting and Misty made everything easy, and adjusted to schedule uncertainties. Juno had a great time and came home content and tired. Highly recommended.”
“Lorri was a fabulous sitter for our little Bella! She was so patient with her when she would not eat. She had her sleep in her room in her carrier. She was so good about sending pictures everyday and giving us a day to day update on how she was doing. Our Bella loved her and felt so comfortable with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“Gia had a great time at Laura’s! She got home 2 days ago and still hasn’t fully recovered (in a good way lol). Laura takes good care to keep the doggos busy so they don’t get anxious or miss you too much. Gia got to play with multiple new friends and probably learned a thing or two. Laura is really good about sending pics and videos - and she is very responsive if you send a message to check in. Would definitely use again!”
“Best experience ever!! Reema was so sweet and took great care of our Maverick over the holidays. She kept in touch and sent photos daily. We would highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer is a sweet heart!! I was nervous leaving my cat behind while I was on a trip due to her circumstances. Jennifer updated me multiple times throughout the day and sent pictures each time. She treated my cat with absolute kindness as if it was her own. She is so sweet to speak to in general and you can definitely feel her warm energy. She is so welcoming.”
“Blake was AMAZING! He took my same-day booking when I had to travel last minute and my usual sitter fell through 🩷 it was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Woods with someone he didn’t know so I was nervous, but I got videos and updates throughout each day! Both me and Woods had a great experience and I’ll 100% be reaching out Blake in the future”
“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!”
“Leslie is a fabulous pet sitter! She updated me often with photos and I really appreciated that. She also followed up with me about when to bring our dogs home and she was prompt and reliable. I highly recommend Leslie. We actually have her already booked again for a future stay.”

Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”

We’ve been using the same sitter for Bentley and couldn’t be happier! It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands every time. Bentley always comes home happy and well cared for — you can tell he’s truly loved during his stays. We keep coming back because the consistency and trust are unmatched. Highly recommend!
They are an awesome sitter which Ke'o really looks forward to staying with them while we are out of town. We are very thankful that Brian and Abigail continues to provide an exemplary services as well as easy to communicate with since they are very responsive. Thank you again and highly recommended if you need dog sitting services.
Shelly was amazing with Jax! We got lots of pictures and videos of a boy who was having a blast at her house. What a great backyard space for them to play. She was thorough at explaining everything and is so professional. Thank you Shelly for taking care of our boy ❤️
Do not hesitate to leave your fur kids with Alycia! Both she and Derek showed so much patience and care with my senior boy who requires a lot of extra attention and effort. They were accommodating and communicative. It's clear that caring for pets is a calling for them. I would definitely rely on Alycia again!
Sue takes great care of our GSP. Our dog gets a lot of great play time in Sue’s yard with her dog. Of note, we were supposed to pick out dog up at about 7:30 on a Sunday night after our return from a long weekend in Austin. Despite our flight being 2 hours delayed, Sue was patient and waited for us to come over late to get our pup. Thank you for your amazing flexibility Sue!!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kirkwood on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 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 .

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.
