“Ruthie was great with my deaf little puppy. He is afraid of other dogs but she was sweet and patient and he accepted the others. Her dog Ginger is the sweetest little cuties! Will book again!”
“Nicole and Tim were so welcoming and so kind. It was Benny’s first time spending time away besides groomers and he had so much fun! The updates throughout the day really made us be at ease. We are so happy with his stay and will come back to Tim and Nicole when we are in town. 😊”
“Jen is great. She cares for them as if they are her own. She takes videos and let's you see your fur babies while your out. She makes sure that your dog's are taken care of on all needs. Would highly recommend if you are in St Louis or visiting.”
“Viki and Dave took great care of Chase on his first day of daycare. He got to socialize and play and was exhausted the rest of the day at home. Viki was communicative and sent updates and pictures throughout his stay.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I only recently, in the past couple of years, started taking care of other people’s pups, and I really enjoy it. I treat all pups as if they were my own. I am retired. I play pickleball quite a bit, but I am never gone more than a few hours at a time. My husband works from home, so there is almost always someone around to accompany your pup. My favorite part of the job is showering pups with love. We have mattresses on the floor and if the pups are willing, we love to snuggle with them. I typically walk them 4 to 6 times a day, depending on the wants/needs of the pup and the weather. I will be sure to check in multiple times daily with you and send photos and videos. I am very quick to respond to messages!
“Ms Sarah is the best ever! She is so calm and patient and a joy to communicate with. My pup Rocky ADORES her. It is often mentioned in the comments but she really does take the BEST photos. She’s got fans for life in me and Rocky”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah—a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a sweet 9-year-old fur baby who’s taught me all about patience, routines, and unconditional love. I know how personal it feels to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I treat both with great care and respect. I offer in-home drop-in visits and walks to keep your fur babies happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. From fun walks, to belly rubs, I bring calm energy, lots of love, and attention to the little things—so you can come home to a relaxed, happy pup I’m here to keep your fur family happy, comfy, and loved while you’re away 💕🐾 I work from home 3 - 4 days a week. I will never accept a sitting job if I can’t stay with them all day! I love bringing my laptop outdoors and allowing the animals to play and run around. On days when I go into work (always Tuesdays) I’m available for morning and evening walks I take my fur baby to K9 Garden at least once a week. I’d love for yours to join us for some fun in the sun! I am experienced in providing medications and using crates if necessary. The most important thing is that everyone is safe and your pup goes hope happy (and tired!) I am happy to accommodate your pet however you feel is right!
“My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!”
“Shannon and Daniel are great people. Friendly, accommodating and took great care of Sadie. She was very happy when I picked her up and she slept most of the 2.5 hr drive home. They went above and beyond helping me locate a central location to meet my sister and her family to ride together to the Cardinals’ game. I will definitely use them again next time I’m in St Louis.”
“Cliff was an absolute ANGEL! So prompt on his responses, and helped us out last minute. He was above and beyond communicative and overall so lovely. Highly recommend!! 💕”
“Zinaida and her family were wonderful and loving. They took great care of my boys and took them on several walks throughout the day. She also sent me plenty of photos and videos. I also appreciated that she was flexible with time, and accomodated to my last-minute request. I highly recommend her for dog daycare and boarding!!”
“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!”
“Cooper loved his stay with Karen, as always! We decided to have Cooper go to a sitter very last minute so that we would be freed up for our moving day. Karen was very accommodating and flexible with pick up and drop off. Thanks, Karen! :)”
“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: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk. A home is incomplete without an animal or two. I completed one year of vet tech school and familiar with pet training I work from home full-time. I walk my walk 2-3 times a day around the neighborhood. My work schedule is flexible to allow pet catering I have a fenced backyard. One very friendly platt hound mix and 2 dog-friendly cats dog and cats always have fresh water. Yard is treated for ticks/fleas and mosquitoes.
“AJ was great with our dogs Gus and Macey. Macey was very apprehensive when we first left but AJ gave her space and was patient and she warmed up to her and her family after about 20 minutes. Gus and Macey seemed to enjoy their time with AJ.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mackenzie
We have been sending our dog to Ashley and Philip for the past couple of weeks for the occasional days when we both need to be in the office, and it has been a great experience. Our fur baby has a lot of separation anxiety, so we were looking for a situation that would give him more of a homey feel and plenty of human interaction, rather than being one of many dogs left to play in the backyard. When we pick him up, he always seems relaxed and happy. There are kids and a few other dogs for him to interact and play with, but we really appreciate that they limit how many dogs they take at a time so it doesn't become overwhelming for him. We feel like he gets plenty of attention while still having the opportunity to socialize and have fun. We hope to continue having him go there to play and spend time whenever we need someone to care for him. We’re so happy we found Ashley and Philip!
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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $38 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 October 2026, there are 692 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 October 2026, there are 692 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 .
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
