“Penelope had a great time! Julia sent pictures for us which kept me at ease. It was a great vacation for both of us. I would definitely use her next time.”
“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”
“Ben responded so quickly and helped us with a last minute need. The dogs seemed to have a great time and we got pictures along the way. Would definitely use Ben again!”
“Our dog enjoyed her stay at Katie’s! Katie was attentive to her needs and her dog got along great with ours. Katie’s home is cozy and Finley enjoyed the large backyard. I hope to be able to rebook with her in the future!”
“Karen was great with my timid little terrier mix, McKenzie! She sent pictures and updates daily which helped ease my worried mind! McKenzie loves walks and Karen's lovely neighborhood was the perfect setting. I highly recommend Karen and will definitely book her again if needed.”
“Super kind and and caring caretaker for our Yorkie. We have a Yorkie with lots of terrier tendencies and Debbie was quickly able to bond with him. She kept in touch consistently throughout the stay and kept us informed of all the fun they were having!”
“Five plus stars! Dustin and Margaret and their children were great with our two dogs. They were able to devote their time to playing and snuggling with our dogs who seemed quite well and happy after a week there. We are so thankful that we found a loving family to take great care of our pups!”
“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!”
“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!”
“My dog Taddy needed a sitter short notice for 2 weeks, when our previously scheduled sitter had to cancel due to a family emergency. Julia was fortunately available and very attentive to Taddy's issues (with him being an anxious rescue dog, with arthritis, reactivity towards other dogs, etc.). She also didn't take on another client during the 2 weeks because of Taddy's issues with other dogs. We got a picture and an update every 2-3 days while we were away. Taddy looked very comfortable and at home in the pictures. Our flight back was delayed, and we picked up Taddy close to midnight, much later than planned. Julia was v cooperative and flexible with our delay which we really appreciated.”
“Christine did such an awesome job of taking care of Scottie and was super accommodating. She sent me pictures of him having fun during the week and even snuggled with him until he fell asleep at night. I could tell he was a happy pup when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth took such great care of Finley! She wrapped her up in a blanket when she noticed Finley getting scared of a thunderstorm. Her dog Lorax was also so sweet. They have a lovely home with a nice backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“She is amazing! Very reliable and flexible. I would pick-up Flakey. He is calm and happy! Would definitely book her again. Flakey loves her dogs Jameson and Hennessey 🐕❤️”
“Rosie stayed with Jordan for a long first stay, and she was a very happy pup when we picked her up. Jordan was really easy to coordinate with. We would definitely have Rosie stay with him again!”
About: What sets me apart is my deep, practical experience caring for both dogs and cats, paired with a calm, attentive, and reliable approach to pet care. With 10 years of experience with cats and 3 years of hands-on experience with dogs, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My schedule is completely flexible! Because I currently work a part-time job with adjustable hours, I am able to set my schedule around your pet's needs. Whether you need drop-ins, house sitting, or daily walks, I can easily adapt to match your pet's routine and give them the dedicated attention they deserve. I live in a secure apartment in the Shrewsbury neighborhood. While my indoor space is cozy, your pet will enjoy a clean, clutter-free environment where they can relax comfortably. I am blessed with a large grass backyard right outside, perfect for outdoor play, potty breaks, and fresh air. Additionally, our neighborhood is safe and walkable, so I can easily take your dog on regular walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation tailored to their energy level.
“This was our first experience with the Rover.com app. I was a little nervous leaving my baby for 10 days, I have to admit. But Blake was awesome with our dog and me. He has 2 sweet dogs and they all got along great. He sent me pics and communicated with me daily. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor space. I will def use him again. Our pup can be finicky but she did great. All Good!!!”
“I have a 10-year-old beagle (Maggie) and she is always stayed with family in the past when I went out of town. This past weekend was our wedding and so family is on able to watch the dog. We first had a visit early in the week with Ruthie and she immediately called any concerns I had with leaving my dog with her. That says a lot :-) Ruthie sent us photos of Maggie multiple times during the weekend to keep us updated on how she was doing and it meant a lot to my wife and I to know Maggie was in good hands on our big day. Ruthie is in a great location with a park nearby as well as a nice neighborhood to walk in and Maggie truly enjoyed her stay. I would highly recommend Ruthie to you if you were looking at this post and wondering who you can trust with your puppy!”
“Rachael was amazing with our dog! She kept us updated and followed all instructions. Would recommend to anyone who wants their dog in safe hands while they are out of town.”
“Kelsey was so good to my nervous little girl over the holiday weekend! She sent regular updates and photos. Obviously understands dogs’ needs and emotional lives which was very important for me.”
About: I grew up around dogs and spent four years volunteering at an animal shelter in college, where I worked with dogs of every size, energy level, and temperament—including shy, anxious, and reactive pups who needed extra patience. Today I'm a dog mom to Coco, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I keep routines consistent, follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work a full-time consulting job with a flexible, project-based schedule, so I open bookings by date rather than every week. When I'm available, your dog gets my full attention—no hours alone in a crate. My Rover calendar is always kept current, so if a date shows open, I'm truly available. I'm happy to do a meet & greet before any first stay. My home in Webster Groves is a quiet house with a fenced backyard, and the landscaping was planned with dog-safe plants. I host one family's dogs at a time, so your pup is never in a crowd. My dog Coco is a 30 lb mixed breed who is gentle and easygoing with other dogs—she'll play for a bit, then happily nap and give your pup space. She's a little shy with new people, so meet & greets are relaxed and low-pressure. I require a meet & greet before every new stay, walk on leash only, double-check gates and doors, and keep your vet's info and an emergency plan on hand.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Mackenzie is $40

Could not ask for better sitters! Murphy had the time of his life with them. Murphy has many physical and mental health issues and they were able to manage them all without issue. Lots of pictures and updates which is always appreciated. Murphy can't wait to see them again!
Ashlie was awesome and 10,000% would take the pups back to her family to watch my babies! House was comfy and cozy feeling, pups loved kiddos around, got updates and quick responses. Biggest thing when we did the meet and greet I felt comfortable immediately with her as she was definitely a dog person and felt that trust right away with her! Thanks again gal and looking forward to any future trips to bring them to you!
Hayley and her family did an amazing job taking care of our Freckle! We are so grateful - it was a last minute booking and we couldn’t say enough positive things about Freckle’s time there. It was very clear she got some good play time in and enjoyed her stay. We felt very safe leaving her in Hayley’s hands. She found a great playmate in Dante too! Thanks guys!
Vicki and Dave were fantastic! We did a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease. During the weekend stay, Vicki was incredibly responsive and sent updates along with daily photos, which I truly appreciated. My pup had a great time running around their backyard with the other dogs and soaking up the sun. It’s clear they take wonderful care of the dogs in their home, and I would definitely book with them again!
Harley was awesome with my Polly Pocket! I knew my recently adopted foster-fail dog would be great in Harley's hands while I traveled out of state for 5 days. Harley kept Polly busy with treat puzzles, training games, walks, and chasing bunnies in the backyard. I loved the pictures they sent and the thorough and honest updates about how Ms. Pocket was doing. And the cherry on top: I could immediately see some of the training Harley implemented with Polly, which was very appreciated as we settled back in to the daily grind back in St. Louis after the trip. Would absolutely book again with Harley in a heartbeat!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Mackenzie is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $51 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.

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.
94% of sitters in Mackenzie 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 Mackenzie 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 Mackenzie.
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 Mackenzie. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Mackenzie 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.
