About: I am a Veterinary Technician and a Professional Dog Trainer with over 10 years of experience. With a degree in Animal Science and extensive hands-on experience, I understand that safety is the top priority for every pet owner. When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience. In addition to boarding, we offer professional Training and Grooming services tailored to each dog's needs. My husband works nights and is home during the day to provide expert care and supervision for your pets. As dedicated owners of show dogs, we take pet care seriously and strive to maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our services. Our property features two fully fenced yards for play and exercise. The first is a secure 6-foot chain link and privacy-fenced potty yard, measuring approximately 20 ft x 60 ft. The second is a spacious, fully fenced double lot with rolling hills and lush grass, providing the perfect environment for your pet to run, play, and explore. *Dogs in our care must be crate trained during down time & at night. When we are not at Dog Shows or Training we are at home with our dogs. My husband works nights which means your pets will be left alone minimally. We have 2 fully fenced in yards. A smaller yard with 6ft privacy fence and a large play yard with 4ft roller panels. We do offer medical boarding on a case by case basis at an additional rate.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for [40+], from energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just want a comfy cuddle and a slow walk. Growing up with dogs and cats taught me how important it is to give each animal the patience, love, and attention they deserve. I have experience with: • Daily walks, playtime, and exercise for high-energy dogs 🐕 • Administering medications (oral and topical) when needed 💊 • Providing gentle care and comfort for senior pets ❤️ • Keeping feeding schedules consistent and clean-up stress-free 🐾 Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet company, I always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a retired law enforcement female, pet care doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day. Animals make my heart smile. 😊 When pets stay in my home - I do have two beagle pups. Huckleberry and Callie-Lilly. I will make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and safe by keeping to their usual routines—regular walks, feeding schedules, and plenty of playtime. I provide cozy spaces for rest, lots of attention, and supervision so they always feel at ease. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or keeping up with exercise. I also love spending quality time with pets, giving them affection, play, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for them, I focus on creating a calm, happy environment where pets feel loved, safe, and cared for.
“Ursula was fantastic. She communicated very well with us during Marley's stay at her home. We really appreciated her care for our little dog when we were in Tucson for a brief stay.”
“Leo had a wonderful time with Harkiran and we were genuinely surprised that he finished his food. Harkiran shared lot of pictures and is very flexible with pick up times.”
“My family and I were traveling with our dog and wanted to have an option for doggy day care. Kirsten was an excellent choice! We felt confident that our dog was having fun on her vacation day with Kirsten, while we enjoyed some tourist attractions that weren't pet- friendly! Thanks to Kirsten, I will definitely use Rover.com again!”
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”
About: Raised an Australian Shepherd from 8 weeks to 2 years old. Trained recall, basic commands and impulse control. Socialized, fed, groomed and took to the vet when necessary. I can recognize signs of anxiety/discomfort(ie. Avoidance, hackles, snarls) and have a proficient understanding in how to make your pup feel comfortable and confident! I work from home so your pup will always have plenty of opportunity to go potty and go on frequent walks throughout the day. I also enjoy running, so if you have a higher energy pup, I would be more than happy to bring them along! I live in a neighborhood that has plenty of roads with low traffic for safe walks around the neighborhood. Living space is fully air conditioned and frequent check ins means I always know how your pup is doing.
“Lindsay was amazing!! She did so many activities with my dog - they went to Petco, on a hike, got a Puppucino at Starbucks, and played doggie puzzles. She went above and beyond, I appreciate her giving so much of her time and attention to him! Will definitely be back!”
“Tito was so well taken care of and returned a very happy dog after his stay at Wendy and Kurt’s! Thank you for easing this dog mom’s concerns and taking such great care of Tito!”
“Erica was available with such short notice! Her availability is amazing and she works with my crazy work schedule always. I can leave my Bella knowing that she will he safe and well taken care of! She always comes home happy and tired ☺️”
“Iliana and her family were absolutely wonderful! This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone other than myself and Iliana was so caring and kind to my doggie and myself. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, which was awesome and comforting!”
“Lorri took such great care of Charlotte and kept us updated through the day. We so appreciate your loving care & look forward to Charlotte’s next stay with you! Thank you so much!!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old. I have been taking care of my pets since then. I have house sat for family members. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs before. I currently work full time from home so I am home daily. I am able to let the dogs out and give them attention all day long. I have a fenced in yard that our dog roams and sits outside often. I give our dog multiple bathroom breaks, play with her and give her lots of love during the day.
About: I have been a professional dog trainer (AKC) and CGC certified trainer for many many years (10+ years). I have worked with many rescues in LA and PHX and continue to have clients back in those cities I still service (my clients love me). I have been watching animals for a long time and recently opening up my home to more clients. I have a large dog and small dog in my home as well as a very sleepy old cat. If your dog needs to be the only dog I can make arrangements for my dogs to be gone at grandparents :) The yard is fenced and dogs are only allowed out with supervision so they are always with me...I want to have fun and bond with your dog and ensure their safety and fun! I am able to do checkins, hikes, walks and obviously cuddles. I am responsible and will care for your pet as much as you do. I am happy to continue what rules/instructions you have for your dog and we will have a great time together. I will follow the rules you have for your dog and send tons of pics and updates! I have references and plenty of experience in all shapes sizes and breeds of dogs! I work remote so usually home. I occasionally travel for work to LA and Phx for clients but taking on new clients here in STL! When I am gone dogs on work related pet visits, the dogs are my home are separated into rooms by baby gates and monitored thru a camera. I am usually gone no longer than 2 hours. I care after your pet the same way you would, with love care and full of safety. I have long time clients that refuse to let me go because of not only the care I give but I think also the cuddles and pics :)
About: After nearly 15 years of caring for my own beloved small dog through every stage of life, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I have extensive hands-on experience with small and senior dogs, as well as shy/nervous dogs, including medication routines, special needs, changing mobility levels, and dogs who simply need a little extra patience and attention. I’m especially interested in providing a calm, home-like environment rather than a busy kennel experience. My goal is to care for your dog like they’re temporarily part of my family — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks, and time to relax. I prefer caring for one dog at a time so they receive lots of individual attention. Note - at this time I can only accept hypoallergenic or low shedding breeds that are under 40 pounds and are very comfortable walking on a leash. I work from home but I’m selective with my availability and only open my calendar when I know I can give your dog plenty of time and attention. I enjoy having a dog around the house and will make sure they get lots of companionship, walks, playtime, cuddles and downtime based on their normal routine. I prefer to care for one household’s dog at a time so they can feel comfortable and get plenty of individual attention. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m especially comfortable with small and senior dogs and understand that some pets need a little extra patience, supervision and TLC. I live on a small, quiet cul-de-sac but please note, I do not have a fenced in yard, so dogs must be very comfortable walking on a leash.
About: We’ve loved meeting all kinds of dogs through Rover, whatever breed or size, and we’d love to spend time getting to know your furry friend through walks, cuddles, and just being together! We’ve had several dogs over the years from an 11 lbs. Schnoodle to an 80 lbs. GSP to now Oliver, a 50lb. mix of many breeds. (However, he can go two-doors down to my father-in-law‘s house if our furry friends don’t get along.) We hope to meet you soon. Amy currently works mostly from home with a very flexible schedule. We get up around 6AM in the morning and stay up until about 10PM. We’d love to get steps in by taking your pet for a walk! Carl also often stops home throughout the day. Wehave a screened in back deck and also a fenced in area below that is shaded. Your pet can find the perfect place to relax and enjoy, weather pending!
“Ashlie took great care of Rosie! We booked a daycare day with her last minute because our AC went out, and she was so responsive and accommodating! We will definitely be taking Rosie back to her in the future.”
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, not just my own, but also those friends and family. Every time someone traveled or needed support, I'd take care of their dogs, turtle, fish and most recently cats. A year ago, I decide to offer that same care (in a formal way) to other families, just like others have done for me when I couldn't be home. Knowing someone loving and trustworthy is with your pets makes a difference. That's what I offer: presence, love, and support, so your pets feel safe and seen, even when you can't be there. As a life insurance agent working from home, I'm blessed with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, for both my family and the pets I care for. I'm a mother of 3 independent and loving daughters (ages 9,13, and 15) who have grown up around pets, and our routine flows in a way that supports my ability to offer calm, focused care, which allow me to be able to dedicate myself with love, presence and intention to the pets whose families trust me. I know what it feels like to open your home and trust someone with your pets (I've been in that side too) it's a big deal. That's why I show up with love, respect, and warm heart. I talk to your pets, care for them gently, and treat them like family, because that's what they are. I'm not just there to feed them or walk them, I'm there to make sure they feel safe, seen, and love until your return.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 623 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Matson. 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 Matson 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 623 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 .
