“Carly was so welcoming and took such great care of our Ella. Loved that she even took photos so we could see how happy she was! Would definitely use again!! Thank you again Carly!”
“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!”
“Larrona and her parents are loving & caring. My Trudie really enjoys being at her place. She is flexible and accommodating. I’ve booked multiple stays and each time exceeds my expectations. She’s a keeper!”
“Sonja treated our dog so well I'm surprised he wanted to come home. She sent pictures while we were away of their trip to a park, snuggles, playing, chewing on a bone, and looking very happy. We are happy to have such a high-quality dog sitter!”
“Jennifer was amazing. I received daily updates including photos and videos. I came home to two healthy and happy pups and couldn’t have asked for anything more. I think they were sorry to leave. I will definitely rebook if she’ll have us!”
“Ali was great with our Tucker he is 3months still learning everything as he grows this was our first time using Rover , and we are very pleased, she was not only so kind and humble with us and Tuck but her communication is awesome she sent updates and lots of pictures which we loved so much. I had to extend 1 extra night due to our flight and she was nothing but great and understanding with me I’m so grateful for her and her daughter Tucker was in great hands! Made our few day trip less stressful we no worries!”
“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“We appreciated Nana taking on Mowgli for a few days. She always kept us updated and welcomed Mowgli to her home. I appreciated the pictures and detailed updates throughout his stay. Mowgli was very happy since he got to play a lot and was very well taken care of.”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“We had a great experience with Marie and her family! She was available to do a meet and greet before we left Cooper with her for a long weekend and was very flexible on drop off and pick up timing. We got updates throughout the weekend and Cooper came home absolutely exhausted, a sure sign of a good time. We like that he was able to get a lot of interaction with the kids, and they all seemed to like helping out. We will definitely have Marie on our list next time we need a place for Cooper to stay.”
“Our Kevin loved his vacation with Lorena. We received daily photos and notes. And, the fenced backyard was a bonus. Lorena truly enjoys dogs and offers a home away from home. We are grateful that we found her!”
“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
“Tim was such an answered prayer! Our petsitter had to cancel last minute and he was so willing to step in and was patient and flexible with all of our questions. Both of our dogs told us they had a blast at his dog parks and playing with Oliver his sweet dog. I really appreciated the extra time he took to send pics and videos as well as deliver them back home to help us out since we were running late getting home due to weather and holiday traffic. Rusty and Daisy give Tim two paws up and we do too! We hope to get lucky enough to have him watch our dogs again in the near future!”
“Teddy had a wonderful stay with Cait and her family. We got frequent updates and we could tell that he was being spoiled and treated like family. We felt comfortable leaving Teddy with Cait and he is already looking forward to spending more time with Honey again.”
“I left my 2 dogs with Lindsey & she made my dogs feel very welcomed as if they were at home. She was very easy to get in touch with & responsive at all times. Her house was clean & dog proof. She followed all instructions given to her & also adhered to concerns that I shared regarding my dogs. I will be using her again in the future. 🐕🦺🐾”
About: I help with pets often. Neighbors trust me to walk, play, and care for their animals. I enjoy playing outside and cuddling with animals. I can’t wait to meet new animals. I work from home 2 days a week and I work in the office short 5 hour days during the week with no evenings or weekends. I have a private, fenced, level yard. I have a no outlet neighborhood for nice safe walks. I enjoy playing the back yard, going for walks and snuggles too.
“Sarah was wonderful. I received multiple pictures every day and her communication was super fast with any questions I had. Izzy had such a great time and misses her playmate already! We will definitely be a frequent visitor.”
“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”

We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!
Karen took care of our 12 1/2 year old female pup who was raised in Nicaragua where other dogs were a threat not a friend. Our pup loves people but is not always friendly with other dogs. Karen was very attentive and communicative during the week our pup stayed with her. She was patient and kind We would use Karen again.
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!!

There are 1,135 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kirkwood. About 93% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
