“Stephen and Hannah took wonderful care of our Border Collie Hiro. They made a comfortable and warm environment. Drop off and pick up was easy. Hiro came back a happy dog. We will definitely be back!”
“This was the second time Daphne watched Tilly and was great again! I could enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was in great hands and getting plenty of attention. Daphne sent pictures and updates so I knew Tilly was safe and happy.”
“I can't say enough good things about Harriet. She is AMAZING!! we left our fur baby with her and her family for 10 days. Even though I missed him I NEVER worried about him knowing he was in good hands and well taken care of. She sent pics and videos everyday. Please use Harriet for your fur baby. She is absolutely wondfeful!”
“Sandra was the perfect pet sitter. Our little Sam loved exploring her fenced in yard and playing with her little fur babies. I would definitely recommend Sandra and will be using her again in the future.”
“Paul and Stephanie were great. This was the first away from family trip that my dog has had in a long time and he seemed to have a great time. They were very accommodating to him and were great about sending picture updates to let me know he was happy and being cared for. Would highly recommend.”
“Christy was fantastic in caring for our Coco. It was obvious she went out of her way to insure he felt at home. The updates and photos relieved our separation anxiety. She most definitely will be used to care for Coco when the need arises. Owners can be assured their fur babies are well cared for in her home.”
“Our golden stayed with Emily for a little over a week and had the best time! As soon as we pulled up to her house my golden ran to her door, which to me is a fantastic sign since our golden has a lot of anxiety. Emily sent many pictures and updates throughout our trip that I didn’t need to worry if she was having a good time. If we need to travel again we will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I started out fostering puppies for a few years, one of which I kept as my foster fail, Emma! Emma loves to play with other dogs and would love the opportunity to hang out with yours while you get away for either work or fun. I have a full time job where I work from home, so would have plenty of time to care for your dog as needed. I am available most weeks and weekends. Since I have my dog, it would be essential to arrange quick meet and greets prior to committing. I have my dog Emma, who is a Saint Bernard mix. Though I just have her at the moment, she grew up with other dogs and loves the companionship. I recently constructed a fence for my backyard for ease of potty breaks, though stairs are necessary for this. Emma has free reign of the house while I am working, but I do have an x-pen and extra dog bed I could setup if needed. Emma takes daily medicine for her joints and thyroid, so I am used to giving medicine if your pup requires medicine as well.
“This woman is incredible! She took such incredible care of my little celebrity. She sent tons of photos and updated me on their time together. I honestly felt so much better knowing he was in a place with someone who loves him in the same way I do. It also made me feel so good that she’s got a little senior dog if her own; she knows what they need! Cant recommend Amiee enough!”
“Another great experience with Kristen. Toby always comes home so relaxed and happy. I get more than enough updates of photos and videos. Kristen is a blessing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to care for your favorite family member.”
“Communications were great! We had an initial meet and greet at a nearby park. Kona only stayed one night but Bianca sent several updates with photos. Our girl looked happy and content.”
“Lawrence, was absolutely fantastic went above and beyond any expectation I could’ve asked for. I would highly recommend anybody using him for a dog sitter. We absolutely loved him..”
“If I could give more Stars I would it is absolutely deserved. We left our Goose for the first time and she did amazing sending videos and pictures and took great care of goose. She could not have done a better job!”
“Kaylee is super friendly and easy to work with! She sent us daily pics even though we didn’t ask for them. Her two dogs kept our dog company too for the week we were gone and I’m pretty sure our pup would have rather stayed with her.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have almost always lived in a home with three or more at a time, so caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, larger breeds, feeding schedules, walks, medications, basic grooming, and maintaining the routines dogs are used to at home. Having a multi-dog household has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog individually—reading their body language, managing introductions, giving them space when needed, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like they’re staying in a home, not a boarding facility. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. I’m currently able to offer a flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m home frequently, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule. I have a dog-friendly home with a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to play, relax, and feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, I take introductions seriously and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and body language. Dogs can be separated or crated when needed, and I’m happy to follow any routines or boundaries you use at home. My priority is making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of individual attention.
“Stephanie (and her family) were excellent with Ava. She sent many pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. From the looks of it, Ava was happy to be on a little vacation. I am doing weekly day care visits, with Stephanie, to get Ava more social! Thank you for your help Stephanie!!”
“Brooke watched my 6 month old puppy, Winnie for about 24 hours and I felt totally comfortable leaving her with Brooke. Brooke sent me an update with a picture to let know how things were going which I appreciated!”

“Chanel helped me tremendously on short notice. She welcomed my boy into her squad with open arms. Lenny loved his time there so much, he ran back to her when we were leaving! Chanel provided so many updates and photos. I can’t rave enough about how wonderful she was to my pup.”

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.
94% of sitters in Mount Shira 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 Mount Shira 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 Mount Shira.
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 Mount Shira. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Mount Shira 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.
