“Patty did a fabulous job of watching our dog, Tucker. We appreciated that she was willing to meet us prior to our stay. She did a great job of providing lots of pictures throughout our trip. Patty made Tucker right at home and he looked so comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely recommend using her and plan to use her for future trips!”
“Great experience. Kristen and family took great care of my two dogs for a long weekend. The dogs were stimulated and happy throughout their stay. I would not hesitate to board dogs with Kristen and George.”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Taylor was super great! She gave regular updates with great pictures and videos for our pups stay. We were so much happier with this than boarding our dogs. Thanks Taylor!”
About: Hi beautiful people! I am Sky and I was raised around animals and have spent everyday of my life with them, so I started doing paid pet sitting gigs and fell in love with it. I have experience with dogs, cats, and farm animals, as well as special needs and elderly pets. I don’t mind carrying an elderly dog outside to potty, and I will clean up any accidents. I love them all like my own! If you are over 20 minutes from my home, I may charge an additional fee for mileage on drop ins and overnight stays. I don’t mind taking bookings further away, but this means less time to check on other animals and more time driving. (And those dang gas prices are awful!) This has become my full time job and I love seeing my regulars every week, along with new faces! I spend all my time with animals. I prefer to do safe pet sitting in your home, providing updates often and following all rules you have set for your home. Please be specific about rules for your home and the amount of care you are looking for. My prices are firm and reflect my experience and reviews. Constant care will be charged at an hourly rate instead of an overnight rate so I am fairly compensated for the extra time spent. I have worked hard to learn about this business and to build clientele who respect me and my time and I will only take new bookings that understand this! 🫶🏻
“Christina and her family treated my dog like their own this weekend and made us so comfortable in leaving him!! We were kept updated with texts and pictures the entire time we were gone and we know that Bruno received so much love. From reading books, to running in the yard for hours chasing sticks and fireflies, Bruno was kept busy, and shown lots of love! He could barely keep his eyes open after we picked him up from being so tired out! We will definitely be rebooking and using Christina for any of our future dog watching needs! Thank you again ?”
“One of the TOP 1% sitters on Rover! Ngozi is so exceptionally considerate and understanding. It is evident the time and care she put into taking care of my pet cat Lychee! Additionally, Ngozi has lovely children who are equally responsible and very kind. Ngozi and family really welcomed my Lychee into their home for the weekend and took the BEST CARE of her. She will be my go-to now moving forward for pet-sitting in Kansas City!! I highly recommend Ngozi with her understanding nature and genuine character. THANKU NGOZI 🫶🏼”
“I went into Jacquelines house and just got the best vibe. I felt totally comfortable leaving my baby with her and her family! Which is such a huge relief because that always has not been the case with other places!! I was sent pictures of my boy having a great vacation while I was on mine! I would totally recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover for sitting service. Erin had lots of positive reviews and was a great dog sitter for my pet. She sent me daily updates along with pictures which was fun to receive. It was a great experience and I'm already scheduling my dog's next stay. I would highly recommend giving Erin a try. You will be glad you did!”
“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.”
“Mishel & Adlai took such great care of our pups! They stayed for almost 2 weeks and kept us updated with messages and videos during the entire stay. We appreciated that they were home a lot and gave the dogs a lot of snuggle time, playtime and outdoor time. We will definitely be booking again!”
“April was awesome! She was very flexible and accommodating with our need for an earlier drop off. She took very good care of Vito and he played and had a good time. She even sent him home with a toy, his favorite out of her toy box 💝🐾. We would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Michelle has a big heart for the dogs and spoils them with lots of love and toys. She has 2 adorable dogs of her own. We were happy to know she has a 6ft fence to keep my fence jumper in and safe. Both my dogs seemed happier and more at ease when we picked them up opposed to boarding. We would love for Michelle to watch our kids again sometime. Thanks!”
“This was my dog's first stay with Jenea's family and it went great! Loved that we did a meet and greet first. Her pups were very friendly and she had a spacious yard. Janea sent regular updates and was friendly. I think my dog was well taken care of. I will book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 307 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lawson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Lawson 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 Lawson 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 Lawson.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawson. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lawson 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
