“Ashley was wonderful I'm always worried with my dog but he was very content when I came to pick him up. She was even very flexible when I had to adjust my time. Very professional will definitely use again.”

About: I’ve taken care and raised dogs for over 43years. My wife and I have always had an average of 2 dogs and a cat for 40 years. I’m very experienced in potty training and basic commands along with at side walk training. Experienced in caring for elderly and mobility restricted dogs I am newly retired and live taking my dogs for walks and playing in the yard with them. I am normally at home all day and enjoy the exercise they bring me. We have a wooded large, study fenced backyard with ample space to roam and play. Typically walks are twice a day and last for 30-45 minutes. While I allow pets on the furniture, I reinforce the owners preferences to ensure consistency. Experienced with medication administration if needed
“After kenneling Max at the vet multiple times, he always seemed to come home stressed, anxious and out of sorts. After coming home from Sarah’s after 4 days there, it was the same old Max. No anxiety, no stress! Sarah was awesome! Texted pictures and kept us updated on how Max was doing. We are so happy we found a great home away from home for Max when we can’t take him with us!”
“Angelica was great to work with. We had a pre-meeting at her home to introduce my dog to her pets. She made sure her pets were secure when we arrived for drop off and gave my dog time to settle in. She sent regular updates and pics. She even sent us home with a clean dog pen. Will definitely use Angelica again and recommend her highly!”
“I always feel like my dog gets so much love, attention, and exercise when she’s here. She loves coming back and we continue rebooking because Dominic is so attentive and keeps me updated with everything. If I were you, I would trust that my dog will be well taken care of while here.”
“Slinky and Sampson had such a great time at Christina's! We were gone for 10 days....I've never been away from my doggos for that long....and they did great! It was easy to relax and not worry knowing that my pups were having a great time and truly felt at home. Can't wait to use Christina's and her dog sitting services again!”
“There are no words!! My dog’s age is catching up to him & I know I can trust he’s in great hands here. She always keeps you updated & always sending photos. That’s the comfort you want when you go on a trip without your dog! I can’t thank her enough for all the love given to my boy. She’s reliable, hands on & truly cares.”
“Amanda and her family took great care of my Remi. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and Remi always looked happy and having fun. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for great care of their dogs. We will be definitely using her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since i was a little girl. I started looking after pets at just 6 years old, and now at 17, I’ve had years of real hands-on experience. I grew up with my little dog Zeus, three sweet cats, and most recently I rescued a pit bull named Chico right off the streets. Because of that, I’m comfortable working with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m great at walking and running dogs, giving baths, and most importantly, showing them love, comfort, and attention. I treat every animal like my own, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My weekly routine looks like doing online school from 9am-2pm so i can be available after school on weekdays or on weekends i can typically do mornings better depending on your pets needs! I unfortunately do not have a yard but if your fur baby loves walks i have a lot of walking area. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable with me. I take time to build trust by moving at their pace, learning what they like, and giving them gentle attention. Whether I’m in your home or walking them outside, I create a positive, calm environment where your pet can relax and feel loved.
“Our dog, Biscuit had a wonderful time with Madilynn! From the start of our booking, Madilynn responded quickly with questions I had. She was very flexible on when I dropped Biscuit off in the morning, and she let Biscuit feel like he was at home, even letting him sleep with her! She sent me updates on how he was doing. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dog and being out in the backyard running around on a nice day while she did some yard work. He was so tired when he got home, not because of separation anxiety which I worry about, but instead because he had so much fun! When you have to leave your dog behind, Its so comforting when it feels like they are getting their own little vacation at a new place and meeting new friends! I highly recommend Madilynn for your dog's stay!”
“Lona and Alan are very professional, great communicating throughout Dexter’s stay and welcome him into their home❤️ Thanks for taking such great care of him while we are gone!”
“Alyssa was great with my pup! She’s super fast at replying, and sent me plenty of photos during his stay with her. I can tell she genuinely cared about taking the best care of my boy.”
“Rocio was amazing!! We felt so comfortable knowing our fur babies were with someone so loving and caring! She also updated us with pictures and notes throughout the day. Our fur babies had a great stay! One of them did not want to leave :)”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“She took excellent care of my pet, ensuring all her needs were met. She was attentive to her food diet and kept me updated with timely photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“My dog had a great stay, and I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the visit\. It gave me peace of mind knowing how well my dog was doing\. April took excellent care of my dog, and I would absolutely book with her again\. Highly recommend\!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Waukomis
Nina and family treated our dog so well! It’s the longest we’ve ever left our dog with anyone who’s not family. We were out of the country, and Nina left messages, photos and updates that made us rest assured we had made the right choice of where to leave our pooch while gone. We would definitely recommend Nina for anyone needing a caregiver for their dog. We would gladly request her caring for our dog again!
Hands down best dog sitting experience! We have an energetic 65lb and she was treated like a queen over a 5-day period with lots of exercise and attention. Our family really appreciated the extra TLC and communication. We knew our dog was in very caring hands the whole time!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Lake Waukomis can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake Waukomis home-away-from-home, 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 Lake Waukomis.
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 Lake Waukomis 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 , 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 .
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.
