“Ruthie was very accommodating to our hectic schedule while in town and was very patient with our 5 month old pup! We appreciated her kindness and communication. Would definitely highly recommend Ruthie’s services!”
“Isabella was wonderful with our little Rae and we will definitely be recommending her to friends and family in the St Louis area! Our puppy felt right at home with Isa and we were so thankful to have her while we visited St Louis!”
“Moka had a wonderful first stay with Debby! She was so caring and loving, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Her dog Stanley is also incredibly sweet and gentle. It was such a comfort knowing Moka was in good hands. We look forward to more stays with Debby!”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
“We did a half day of daycare with Marie as an introduction (first meeting). Everything seemed to go great, and our pup was happy at pick up! We definitely plan to use Marie in the future.”
About: Hi, I'm Rita! I am an active, fun-loving person. Think of me as the fun aunt who comes over to spoil the fur babies and have fun adventures while you’re gone! Some of my customers even call me Auntie Rita! I am here to give you peace of mind that your dogs and home are in good hands! Whether you’re out of town or have a busy day and just need me to drop in, I will provide the best care. I am loving, nurturing, and trustworthy. I have been a dog owner for 11 years, and I have helped friends and family over the years with their pets. I am reliable and responsible, and I will take great care of your dogs and your home. Every dog has such a unique personality and needs. I have experience with senior dogs, shy/fearful dogs, reactive dogs, high energy dogs, puppies, and lots in between! We can keep it simple with a walk, jog, go to the park, play fetch, sunbathe, chill at home, whatever your dog loves the most. I do not currently have a dog of my own, but was a dog owner for 11 years until recently. I had 2 French bulldogs, Ralph and Frankie, who I absolutely adored and spoiled. I have volunteered for Stray Rescue St. Louis and Care Stl, and have lots of experience walking and playing with the shelter dogs. I also fostered a dog with Care Stl after my sweet Frankie passed away in December 2024. I am certified in pet first aid. I work from home pretty much full time, and I can be flexible to meet your needs. I can bring my laptop and work from your home while you are away. I’ll usually leave a couple hours each day to go to the gym or run errands. I will stick with your dog’s routine! We will make sure to get out for plenty of potty breaks and walks or playtime. I am very mindful of the weather, and will adjust accordingly. We will have plenty of playtime, snuggles and belly rubs! I am happy to keep up with any medication and grooming routines as well. I will take care of your fur babies and home the same way I take care of mine, which is with love and respect. I love to send photos and updates, as I would want the same!
“Highly recommend Jessica. She did a great job of doggie daycare when I relocated and needed to care to bridge me during the first weeks. Will use again and recommend to all”
“Sarah was so great! She answered all of my questions I asked before booking, was super responsive and so sweet with Cooper and sent me pictures and video throughout the day so I knew he was doing good.”
“Alex was great to watch my pup lux for the day! Lux is usually shy at first but wasn’t with Alex. Lux seemed well taken care of and had a fun day! Would use Alex again in the future to care for lux!”
“This was our first experience using a doggie sitter from Rover but definitely won’t be our last. Brian was wonderful! He was extremely flexible in accommodating our schedule and took such great care of Sparky and Crouton! Loved all the pictures he sent!”
About: Hi, I'm Katie, and I've been a lifelong dog lover! As a work-from-home mom with two older kids (17 and 20), our house is a bustling, loving environment. We have two friendly resident dogs who would love a temporary playmate. When your dog stays with us, they'll be treated like family. What Your Dog Gets: • Nearly Constant Supervision: Because I work from home, your pet will hardly ever be left alone and will get all the attention, cuddles, and care they could ever want or need. • Daily Exercise: I am committed to a daily walk with every dog I watch, ensuring they get the physical activity they need to stay happy and healthy. • Safe Play Area: We have a nice, securely fenced-in backyard perfect for supervised playtime and bathroom breaks. • Experienced Care: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience administering medication, including oral pills and topical treatments, so you can trust your pet's health needs will be met. My family and I can't wait to welcome your dog into our home for a fun, safe, and loving stay! Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life. Between my own dog, my kids, and the dogs I care for, our days revolve around walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles. Since I work from home, I’m able to give plenty of attention throughout the day — morning walks, midday potty breaks, and evening playtime are just part of our normal routine Your pet’s safety and happiness mean everything to me! My home is clean, cozy, and pet-friendly, with a nice fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air.
“Francie was fantastic, plenty of playtime and outside time for my little Gía with other small pups. She was flexible with pickup times and took great care of my little girl. Will definitely use her services again. Thanks, Francie!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal since I was 10. I work from home completely remote and live across the street from Tower Grove Park with a fenced in backyard, and would love to spend my free time loving on more dogs. From neighbors, friends, family, and referrals I’ve cared for peoples homes and pets with just as much love and care as I do my own. I trained my own puppy daisy since she was 8 weeks old and she will hopefully soon be a therapy dog. She recently graduated from her first 12 week course and is about to enter the next level. Additionally we had senior special needs dogs growing up. I previously worked in health care and have experience administering medications and acting in medical emergencies. I am a photographer by trade and will send you lots of cute updates 🤍 I can’t wait to love on your babies! I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to love on your pups! I can work with your dogs schedule as needed as I understand schedules can change. I live in an 1200 sq ft apartment with my puppy daisy who is great with other dogs and a sweet calm girl. I live across the street from tower grove park and have a small green space private yard for potty breaks
“Kenna was great to deal with! She took our request on short notice (night before). We were visiting family in Saint Louis and going to the Arch and would not be able to bring our puppy. Kenna agreed to meet us near the Arch, which saved us time and allowed us to do everything we needed to do. Her communication was excellent and professional to deal with. Highly recommend!”
“Wow! Stephanie is incredible! We just moved to the area and were looking to find someone we could reach out to for occasional daycare and overnight stays and I am so grateful we found her. She responded quickly, was incredibly accommodating and provided exceptional service. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos, provided an incredibly thoughtful welcome bag and made sure our dogs were happy and safe throughout the day. She went above and beyond and I truly can’t say enough positive things about her. I am an overprotective dog mom and am very particular about who watches my dogs. They loved her and so did we. We will most certainly be back!”
About: I have two super goofy, friendly, and loving male Pit bulls. I work from home so will be around pretty much all the time. I take my dogs on a walk mostly 3 times a day but again I’m around a lot and get bored easily so might be 5 times a day :) My dogs are definitely spoiled and should not expect anything less for your pet when I’m watching them! I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special care such as taking medicine. Mostly home all day and night. I work from home so your pet will always be attended too unless I leave to make a quick errand run. My dogs do have cages but they are barely in them. Whenever I do leave my dogs stay out freely but they do well in their cages when needed. They do get along very well with other pets. Small dogs or large dogs.
“Reema was amazing! Her pup and mine played so well together, it was the perfect play date! She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would trust Reema to watch our girl again in a heartbeat ☺️”
About: Hi! My name is Darius and I truly love being around animals. I don't have any right now, but I've had pets almost my entire life including a yorkie, two pomeranians, three cocker spaniels, a foster kitten, and a German shepherd. I used to live with two adult cats, but my ex got them in the breakup sadly. Fortunately, I've got another friend with older cats that lets me check on them when she's away. More recently, I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends because I have a big house with a fenced in yard and a lot of squirrels to yap at. Long story short, I just want your baby to feel loved and taken care of while they're away from home. I'll be with them most of the day because I typically work from home. As long as they don't mind chilling around the house, walking around my beautiful neighborhood, or chiming in on the occasional business call, we'll get along great. Like I mentioned, 99% of the time I work from home M-F. I might occasionally go into the office but only for a 2-4 hours max. Three days a week I go to the gym for an hour but for the most part I'll be working, chilling at the house, or outside exploring the neighborhood with my new furry friend. I like to curate a calm, peaceful environment that's full of love for your pet to feel relaxed and at ease during their stay.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mackenzie
Moka had a wonderful first stay with Debby! She was so caring and loving, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Her dog Stanley is also incredibly sweet and gentle. It was such a comfort knowing Moka was in good hands. We look forward to more stays with Debby!
I have an upcoming trip and have never used Rover. I need overnight sitting for several nights. We came over for a meet and greet and plan to do a couple of daycare visits before leaving town. Viki is wonderful at keeping you updated on your dogs activities throughout the day, which puts you so at ease. From the pictures and exhausted pup, I can tell she has a blast.
Marie was fantastic with Bailey. She sent photo updates, had a great yard to keep the dog safe and her family all took time to play and keep Bailey occupied. I'd book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Jennifer was great at knowing how to slowly introduce my shy new rescue dog to her dog. My pup came out of her shell and had a great time, as did my older dog, who loves visiting Jennifer’s. My husband and I had a great road trip knowing both dogs were in good hands.
Nicole and Tim are the best!!! They have really kind, positive, calm energy and my black lab immediately loved them. They were super responsive and easy to coordinate with, and their setup is perfect. Their yard is great with a nice high fence, and as someone whose dog gets into everything I really appreciated how neat and clean their apt was. Most importantly though, Darcy had a great time and seemed very happy and relaxed. 10/10, highly recommend. We will definitely use again!
Daniela took wonderful care of our pup! She was super flexible and has the most adorable puppy, Lucky, who played amazingly well with Ellie! She would pull me to their door as soon as she caught sight of Lucky which is a great sign of how she loved being there! She is usually picky the first 2 days with a new sitter but Daniela figured out how to get her food tooo. Highly recommend Daniela and Lucky!
Mariah was very nice. She has a large yard for the dogs to run and play. She calmed my nerves when I was worried about my dog being without me for the first time, and Koda seemed to have had a good time when I picked him up! Mariah was also very flexible with my pick up and drop off time and even changed the date of our doggy day care due to travel changes and last minute issues that arose. She was fairly quick to respond to me with any questions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Mackenzie is $28 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 per day. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 690 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Mackenzie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Mackenzie commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of November 2026, there are 690 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MO. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 690 sitters in Mackenzie, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
