“Timothy is an excellent Rover sitter! He boarded our dog at his house for 9 nights. I like that he had us do a meet and greet first to ensure our dog would be a good fit. This was our first time using a sitter and I was nervous at first, but Timothy had great communication and I really appreciated the regular updates and great pictures. Our dog did well socializing and playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be booking with Timothy again!”
“Absolutely amazing. Katie is such a sweetheart my boys loved her so much! She kept me updated the whole time. I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Katie for everything!”
“Angela B. Was the best I could have ever had to leave my pet with. My dog Rogue had so much fun. She got a lot of attention and affection. Angela sent pictures and videos to assure me that Rogue was doing okay. I will definitely be taking her back for play dates and other vacations”
“Teresa was wonderful. Kind and thoughtful to make sure our Maggie had a good time. Even a new friend in Snickers. Perfect experience. Thank you Teresa. Will reach out again.”
“Katie and her family were beyond excellent! She sent daily updates and pictures of our pup having the time of his life. Great communication and flexibility. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Highly recommend using Tami to care for your pet! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time but she made me feel at ease and took great care of my dog! She sent me pictures and texts to ensure me my dog was doing great!”
“My dog loved boarding with Katie. She kept my dog super active with lots of hikes and walks and I could tell my dog was comfortable with her and her home. Katie was super easy to work with as well.”
“Chelsea is exceptional! Her warmth and personable nature instantly put us at ease—and our Shorkie, Dale, felt the same. The moment she greeted us at the door, Dale went right in like he’d found a new best friend. Chelsea kept us updated throughout his stay with sweet videos and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We never had to wonder or worry—just knew he was in loving hands. So grateful for the care and connection she provided. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was an absolute fantastic dog sitter! We left our energetic pup with her and she took such wonderful care of her. From the very first meet-and-greet, Katie was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout the stay, Katie sent the most delightful updates and photos of her playing. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy she looked in all the pictures. Our dog came home well-cared for, more relaxed and content. Katie clearly went above and beyond. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring, responsible hands. We would (and will!) book Katie again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter who treats your dog like her own, look no further. Katie is the best! Thank you so much!! 🐾❤️ Highly recommend — 10/10 would trust her with our fur baby again!”
“Tre'Ana is a great sitter and I will definitely use her services again. When I dropped him off her daughter wanted to play with soon as I got in the house lol. I appreciate when the family loves on Tyson just as much as I do. Thank you so much!”
“Karen was wonderful! She kept in touch with photos and spoiled my little guy rotten. He came back home happy though was disappointed to be away from his new friends. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Dan.”
“I really appreciate Mauricio taking the time to watch my Pup. He was super responsive to messages. And more importantly: I understand as someone who has used Rover for over 110 times over the last 10 years for my pup, the importance of making sure there is a safe trip between the pup and the owner. After having moved to St louis, it's nice to find someone who's reasonable and timely and they're willingness to communicate and book watching a pup. I highly recommend Mauricio!”
“Keith was awesome! He took a lot of time with me when I first got there to ensure that Jak was comfortable at his house. Jak definitely got lots of play time when he was there so it was good to know he stayed active. Thanks so much!”
“Raven did an amazing job taking care of Lady while I went out of town for the weekend! Great communication, and Lady really seemed to enjoy her stay. I highly recommend Raven if you're looking for someone to watch your pet!”
“Our dogs have enjoyed every stay with Rachel and Katee! I like that they do an initial meet up with the pups before you stay and they send lots of pictures and updates to let you know your pups are doing well! Our dogs have stayed overnight twice now and it has been a great experience. They will continue to be our go to place to board our dogs. I highly recommend!”
“Lindsay was amazing! She took care of our labradoodle while we were on vacation. She sent regular updates, and I could tell from her messages, pictures and videos that she cared for him like he was her own, and that he had a great time! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Mckenna was amazing. I have never boarded my dog before, she invited me to a meet and greet few days prior to the appointment giving me assurances. Proceeded to send me pictures and updates everyday. My dog was super super excited and happy, which is all I'm looking for. Good experience overall.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Machens 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 Machens.
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 Machens 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.
