“Melanie was fantastic with my dog, Monty. I enjoyed receiving multiple updates and lots of photos to let me know he was doing okay. I highly recommend using Melanie.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. My sweet Charlie passed in 2024 and to fill the void, I am now taking care of other people's pets. I am able to administer meds or whatever is needed. I work from home, so I am very flexible in my schedule. I can go to your house for boarding, or your pets can stay here. I love having toys around for the pups to play with. Very pet friendly environment. I do not have any other pets in my home. I only have one booking at a time. I want to make sure to give your fur babies all the love they deserve. Its only me at my home. My son is in college.
“We had a fantastic experience with Mandy. Chuck Norris is a senior guy who mostly just wants to cuddle, and Mandy gave him all the love and attention he needed. We received regular photos and felt total peace of mind knowing our boy was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking again!!! Thank you”
“Catherine is amazing!!!!!!! My baby had a ball she was so tired when we got home. It’s so hard to find people good with bigger dogs. She is our new dog sitter for sure. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Cheyenne took great care of our pups! She was very responsive and very flexible with drop off/ pick up times. The whole process was very smooth with her and I would highly recommend.”
“Christine & David are absolutely awesome! We had to find a Rover sitter at the last minute for a two-week stay after another sitter canceled. We’re extremely selective about who watches our dog, but from the very first meet-and-greet, we knew they were our people. From that point on, if Christine & David are available, they’re always our first choice for Goose. In fact, they’ve already watched him again for another extended weekend. Throughout the stay, we received multiple videos and photos of Goose cuddled up on their couch, playing in their beautiful yard, and clearly having a great time. We always felt confident that he was being exceptionally well cared for. We truly mean it when we say they are the best!!!”
“Lorena provided the best of care to our pup. She made sure our dog had daily exercise through walks and play. Updates were regularly given through messages and photos. Most importantly Lorena is such a kind woman who clearly made our dog feel comfortable and loved during our absence. We will certainly rely on her again for future sittings and highly recommend her to others!”
“Amy was such a wonderful sitter! She was so communicative, super friendly and truly made me feel like my dogs were in a loving environment. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I must say I have absolutely no regrets! From day one, Leah was amazing! She was super responsive, warm and welcoming. I was so nervous to leave my cat Shai, as cats can sometimes struggle outside of their homes, but from the moment I let Shai out of the carrier, he was on the go! That let me know I made the right decision. Her kids were so gentle with him as well, which was another indication of a loving, safe environment. I am so grateful and thankful for meeting these wonderful group of woman. This will be my go to for pet sitting from now on! Thank you all so much!”
“Stephanie is the greatest! I unexpectedly had to leave Jake for an extended stay and she was willing to negotiate a longer term rate for us. Hip Hip Hooray for Stephanie!”
“Rachell took care of my dog like he was one of her own! He was able to get all the socialization, playtime, and cuddles that he needs. Rachell sent me pictures and kept me updated on my dog so I never once worried.”
“Anusha and her family gave Juney the most loving experience while I was away on vacation. Gave me the peace of mind to enjoy time away knowing Juney was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mariah is truly the best , she took care of my baby girl Stormi excellent. Updated me everyday with pictures and video,stormi came back happy . Thank you again ?”
About: I’ve watched dogs for several of my friends and family in the past and have decided to take my care pet scratches to others in need. I’m currently a personal trainer. So I’ll have afternoons to come home and let the pups out. And I’m there for several hours at a time. I like to walk so they will get exercise in. I have a fenced in back yard. So the dogs will have plenty of space to run and play. They have a pond to drink from.
“Melissa and family kept us constantly updated with our pup during her stay and were incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed and pivoted to doing a drop off. We cannot thank them enough for their care of her.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Kirkwood is $40

Alyse was amazing! Our pups came to her at the very last minute due to an issue with another sitter. She was very quick to respond and was very accommodating taking our booking at the last minute! She did a great job with our girls! They were very well taken care of, we received lots of photos and we received very meaningful updates so we knew exactly how our girls were doing! They were exhaused & stressed when they got there and you took them in, gave them a comfortable place to rest & relax, took the stress away from them & took great care of them! Thank you so much for stepping in and making what was a very bad situation with our other sitter to turning it around ensuring our girls were cared for and taken care of all while keeping us updated along the way during their time with you! Highly reccommend booking with Alyse for your pups!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch Marcie! She’s still a puppy (about 10 months old), so she definitely comes with all the energy, personality, and occasional toddler-like behavior that you would expect 😂. Caitlin and Adam were absolutely amazing with her! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt like she was in the best hands. They treated her like one of their own, gave her so much love and attention, and kept us updated throughout her stay. Communication was wonderful, and it was so reassuring to know she was not only being well cared for but genuinely loved and treated like family. You can tell when someone truly loves animals, and this family absolutely does. We are so grateful for the care they gave Marcie and would recommend them a million times over. We will absolutely be using them again!
We are extremely happy and very grateful for the wonderful experience we had with Brian and Abigail. They welcomed our girl Daisy into their home and family and although we missed her, we are not sure she even realized we were gone! It is most important to us that we can leave her someplace knowing she is being cared for safely and properly , loved on always, and feeling secure in her environment. Brian and Abigail have done that well and we will definitely be bringing Daisy back soon!
Our dog loves to stay with Sarah and Brody. When we book with Sarah, we know she’ll get plenty of action and attention, and we’ll get the peace of mind that comes with that. Sarah is always flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups and is a great communicator. Highly recommend.!
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⭐️!
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.
Katie is absolutely wonderful with Abby! She takes such great care of her, and we never have to worry when Abby stays with Katie. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such caring and capable hands. We also really appreciate the daily pictures and updates. It’s always reassuring to see Abby happy, comfortable, and enjoying her time. Katie treats her like one of her own, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pup!
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Kirkwood is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 1,124 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kirkwood. About 92% of Kirkwood sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. 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.
