“Kristy is an awesome person, with humans and with pets! 😀 My 2 fur babies had a great time at her house. She’s so kind, caring and attentive. I will definitely contact her again when I need someone to care for my 2 dogs. Thank you Kristy!”
“First time boarding and was very nervous but Angela was amazing and totally reassured me!!! she took wonderful care of my kitty and sent me little texts and pictures throughout the stay! would 100% book again and would definitely recommend her!”
“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!!”
“Nala probably felt like she was being dropped off at a five star resort haha she loves a good farm. Kaitie was very communicative & flexible with pick up. Would definitely book again.”
“Brittney and Adam were AMAZING with my 10 week old puppy, Bentley. They sent so many pictures, videos, and updates throughout his stay. He even got a little goodie bag to go home with. I was able to do a meet and greet before booking. I highly recommend them to trust your fur baby. I will use them again in the future.”
“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”
“Jenny took great care of our dog. She gave us daily updates and photos on how she was doing which we greatly appreciated. Our dog loved spending time there and playing with Jenny’s dog!”
“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!”
“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!”
“So happy with Alesha! Friendly, positive, good communication, and knew the right questions to ask for a safe and happy stay for both my dog and her home and family. We couldn’t be happier! We’ll definitely be booking with her again for future trips. :)”
“This was my first time to ever leave my dachshund with anyone he didn't know! But, Sarah and Cyrus made both of feel at home. They explained things and have an amazing set up for the dogs/cats! They sent me pictures periodically in which I could tell Spud was very comfortable there with them! I'm very grateful for the quality of care they gave Spud! I would definitely book again if needed!”
About: While I’m new to caring for others’ dogs, I’m an experienced dog owner. I’ll provide the same attentive, loving care I expect for my own. I work from home from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., so morning drop-offs must be before 7:00 a.m. This gives your dog plenty of time to settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy at least 45 minutes of playtime before I start my workday. My work schedule allows me plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Because I do work from home, dogs staying with me should also be comfortable relaxing independently while I’m in meetings or focused on work. They’ll never be short on attention—they just need to be happy hanging out while I get some work done too! Your dog’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a calm, comfortable environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I only accept small, potty-trained dogs with no history of aggression or resource guarding to help keep everyone safe and comfortable. I have a fully fenced yard for potty breaks, fresh air, and supervised playtime. Dogs are never left outside unattended—I will always be outside with them. I also closely supervise interactions between dogs, especially during meals, treats, and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m here throughout the day to provide regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. My goal is for you to feel confident that your dog is safe, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.
About: I’ve been around working dogs most of my life, breeding and raising high-drive dogs and learning how to properly handle different personalities and temperaments. I’ve worked with trainers across the country and have experience with obedience, structure, play, confidence building, and understanding dogs on more than just a basic level. Whether it’s a high-energy working dog or a laid-back family pet, I focus on making dogs feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for like they’re my own. I work with dogs full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, structure, and hands-on care throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I have crates available in multiple sizes, four outdoor runs, and a fully fenced yard to give dogs plenty of safe space and exercise. I also have a very social, well-mannered dog that can interact and play with client dogs if wanted. If preferred, I can also easily keep dogs completely separate thanks to how my setup is designed — whatever makes the owner most comfortable.
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.
“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.

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

- 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.
