“Paula is wonderful! She is a very kind person who took excellent care of our Lennie. Also, she was very responsive to all of our texts and even texted photos of him. Lennie came home a very happy guy! I highly recommend her and I will definitely work with her again.”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Caitlin and Adam were great with our puppy, and especially on such short notice!! When we picked her up, she was so tired and seemed to have so much fun with their family :) The updates were great and we are so grateful for their help, flexibility, and time this past weekend.”
“Our pup absolutely loved every minute staying with Shaina! Each photo update was adorable and she was incredibly kind and flexible when our travel plans shifted which was an added bonus. We can’t wait to book with her again!!”
“Highly recommend Judith for your doggy care needs! Our little guy stayed for the weekend and I could tell he was having a blast. Judith sends pictures and updates, walked him, fed him tasty treats and I can tell he had a great time! We will definitely request Judith to take care of our pup for all of our future trips!”
“Lorri was great to work with. Zuma was happy and healthy on her return and I have no doubt Lorri treated Zuma as though she as her own. Lorri does a great job of keeping you updated with messages and photos while you are away. It's nice to have that assurance. Will will definitely book with Lorri for future needs.”
“It was such a relief to have Astrid stay with Pamela! He was in great hands and I enjoyed the photos she sent of him, looking happy and comfortable… Can’t say enough about the ease of drop off and pickup- so grateful for her accomadating my travel plans. Thank you!”
“Max had a grand time with this family, which made sure he had plenty of romp time with the other animals present, walk time and loving, care of his coat and photos text to the owners as they were away. We were at peace on vacation, knowing that our pet was in good hands. We will be using them again.”
“Adolfo was a great choice for my anxious pup! He has experience managing dogs who can be a little rough during play time (which mine is) and keeps a consistent daily routine with lots of outdoor playtime and naps. He was very communicative and sent lots of videos and pics of my baby throughout her stay so I knew she was safe and having fun. The only caveat I would mention is that Adolfo may not be most suitable for dogs with complex medical needs. Mine got a bad ear infection right before my trip; she’s resistant to medication and doesn’t like strangers touching her at all, so Adolfo had a harder time getting her to take her meds multiple times a day. He did a great job in a tough situation and was open about that being a bit outside of his skill level, but it’s definitely something to consider if you have a pup that needs lots of daily meds.”
“Sure! Here's a polished version of your message: --- Monica took absolutely wonderful care of my dog—truly as if he were her own. She was easy to coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up, sent great photos of him enjoying all his favorite activities, and provided thoughtful updates whenever I asked about how he was adjusting to a new environment and caregiver. I would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Nugget had the best time at Marie’s house! We got so many updates on Nugget’s adventures. Her family is awesome and so great with dogs. Can’t wait for the next time!!”
“Blake was AMAZING! He took my same-day booking when I had to travel last minute and my usual sitter fell through 🩷 it was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Woods with someone he didn’t know so I was nervous, but I got videos and updates throughout each day! Both me and Woods had a great experience and I’ll 100% be reaching out Blake in the future”
“Ruthie and her significant other were both above and beyond great caretakers for my girl Meeka while I was away on 2 trips this month. She has multiple health issues right now, including some diarrhea that she was only just starting to improve from by the time my 2nd trip rolled around…I felt bad having to put that extra work on them but not only did they accommodate her, they helped by trying solutions that have really made a huge difference in her recovery and her even with arthritis pain management. All in all just felt very comfortable with knowing Meeka was so well cared for while I was away and that they were truly treating her like she was their own dog! Highly recommend and will be hoping to get to use them again the next time I travel!”
About: I have regularly fostered dogs for the past five years and have worked with over 75 dogs and counting. I have so loved this experience meeting new friends of all breeds, needs, shapes and sizes and would love to meet your pup as well! I have even had the experience and privilege of taking puppies numerous times to the nursing home to meet with residents there, bringing with them their puppy joy and cheer. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help! Our family follows the school schedule during the week day, leaving at 8:15 and arriving home around 3:30pm. If needed, I can allow for one bathroom break mid day. There is a room officially dedicated in our house to the animals that I watch and foster. They would have this room all to themselves for when they come stay (no need to share with other pets!). There are pee pads and litter boxes also available if needed. Please see pictures of the room located under the sitter profile. I also have a crate available and an x pen if your furry friend prefers that. I have a fenced in front and back yard that has been visited and approved by the Humane Society.
“Shelly was fantastic with our high energy dogs! She handled them easily and took great care of them while we were away for the week. She sent great updates, and the dogs loved her and her beautiful back yard!”
“This is the second time we’ve had April stay with Rachel, and it was nothing less than perfect! Lots of photo updates, and she even took my energetic baby on a run! Would absolutely book again!”
“Boarded our pug at Catherine's for a one night stay and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. As recent transplants to the area, we've had much trouble finding a responsive sitter so we greatly appreciated her timely responses and flexibility with our schedule. Her dog, Bodie, is the sweetest and we were so happy to hear that he and our little old guy got along well. Thank you again for having Benny over, Catherine!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marlborough
Sarah did a great job taking care of my Lily over a long 4-day weekend. She provided lots of love and attention, and plenty of updates and photos while I was away. My dog came home happy, and calm, which is an excellent sign of good care. I would definitely recommend Sarah if you want your dog spoiled! And who doesn't want that?!!
Katie is such a reliable, proactive, and professional sitter. We always have complete peace of mind whenever we leave our dogs in her care. She takes such great care of them and makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Honestly, sometimes we worry our dogs don’t even want to come home because they’re having so much fun at Katie’s! We couldn’t recommend her enough.
This is our first time using Judy as our sitter and she was fantastic. She is very easy to work with and truly cares about the dogs she watches. We enjoyed our vacation knowing our little dachshund was given five star treatment. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Katie is absolutely wonderful with Abby! She takes such great care of her, and we never have to worry when Abby stays with Katie. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such caring and capable hands. We also really appreciate the daily pictures and updates. It’s always reassuring to see Abby happy, comfortable, and enjoying her time. Katie treats her like one of her own, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pup!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Marlborough home-away-from-home, 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 Marlborough.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Marlborough 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 , 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 .
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.
