“Dexter and Eddy had one of the most wonderful stay. They came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. The sweetest touch? They gave both pups a puppy cup and even sang "Happy Birthday" to Dexter for his special day! 🎂 It meant the world to see how much they cared. Both boys were all tail wags and smiles the entire time. Thank you again for making Dexter’s birthday so memorable and for taking such great care of our boys.”
“Sarah did a great job keeping my 2yr old mini aussie for 5 days while we went out of state. She kept me posted on how he was doing and she sent me pics on the regular. Highly recommend! She also has dogs herself and Rio loved it! I think he misses his friends ❤️”
“Mei was so sweet and her family was great with our little man. We were traveling through and asked about sitting at the last minute. She was responsive, polite, and even sent pictures that night. Next time I’m in town I I will absolutely ask her to watch Comet again. Five star service all the way!!”
“Kaitie and Evan did a great job keeping my dogs who suffer from separation anxiety relaxed and assured they were safe while we were away for seven days. Thank you Kaitie and Evan. - Cindy”
“Jennifer was fabulous with our dogs and took great care of them over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was responsive to my messages and always sent pictures and updates. The dogs came home happy and tired, which means they must have had a great time!”
“Genesis did an amazing job with our dog, Ody! He went on walks, visited the dog park and got a lot of exercise! Genesis went above and beyond, with updates, videos, photos and even a bath after Ody got muddy! I highly recommend”
“Abigail was super nice and gave lots of updates with photos! I could tell our dog had a good time by how tired she was after days of playing. Thanks again!”
“Jessica did a great job with Bentley. She was very attentive to Bentleys needs and went above and beyond during the time she had him. You can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for.”
“Super nice couple! Quick to respond and very communicative and easy to work with - even for a late booking. They have a yard and fantastic space for your pet to spend their stay. They sent messages and photo updates throughout each day so I was always in the loop, and spent lots of time playing with loki, he was so tired and well exercised we he got home! Look forward to working with Sarah & Cyrus again in the future!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Kelci and her family. We got regular updates on their activities and they even got to meet new animal friends! Definitely will be booking with them again.”
About: I am an animal lover and think pets are family. I will do everything to make your pet feel loved and well taken care of in your absence. I work full time during the week but available weekends and holidays to pet sit. I am also available in the early mornings and evenings during the week. I make sure the pet is fed, walked daily and taken for potty breaks as needed. I also clean litter boxes for cats as needed.
“Maura and her husband are super friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. My two large dogs appeared to be well taken care of. Maura communicated well with updates and photos. I highly recommend her.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Our young Boston Terrier is full of energy, curiosity, and mischief, and Danielle handled her with so much patience and care. It was clear she was well-loved, exercised, and treated like part of the family while we were away. We received updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Danielle and will definitely book with her again!”
“Emily and Zach have been great with our girls, even though we thought they were going to be naughty and stubborn. They are very great at communicating and giving us updates while they pet sit our dogs. Would highly recommended them and would book with them again.”
“Mayson was wonderful with our Kitties. She was super friendly, and completely worked with us while I was away and my husband had crazy work hours. She sent videos and took such great care of our babies.”
“Luther was wonderful! Kai was comfortable with him from the start of the meet and greet. He gave her access to roam his home instead of relegating her to a single room or putting her in a kennel. This was HUGE for me. He took her on long walks, played with her in his backyard and made her feel at home. I greatly appreciated the pictures he sent. I will be using Luther again and highly recommend his services to others.”

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.
96% of sitters in Main City 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 Main City 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 Main City.
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 Main City. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Main City 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.
