“We really appreciate Misty and her family who took great care of our pup! This was our first time leaving her overnight in someone else's care, so it was reassuring to get daily check-ins and photos. We'll definitely book Misty again in the future!”
“Stephanie is the best! She is thorough, professional, and has lots of fun with your dogs! It is obvious she loves what she does, and your pets will know this the minute they meet her. Your pooches are in great hands with Stephanie, and you can rest assured they are being well cared for when you are gone!”
“Five stars! This was our first time leaving the dogs with someone in Rover. I was very nervous. The dogs loved Sherry and we will use her again in the future. She sends pictures with updates. Sherry is kind and understanding. Our little senior chihuahua has a lot of trust issues and doesn’t care for people, but he enjoyed Sherry’s company. Thank you Sherry for keeping our kiddos safe and happy!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth. She took care of my dog for 2 1/2 weeks, sent a photo & comment every day about how Bessie was doing, and it was obvious she is passionate about animals! Because of her experience working for a vet I felt very comfortable that she was giving Bess her medicine, and since Bess is an older dog, she and her family gave her lots of cuddles and care. I won’t hesitate to ask her to dog sit again! Bessie also formed a friendship with one of their family’s dogs. She was very happy there!!”
“Jamie was super nice and we got a picture of our boy everyday! She and her friend spent time with him and cuddled him, which is the best thing that we could ask for because Ghost loves his cuddles. We will definitely ask Jamie to watch Ghost again whenever we need her! :)”
“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”
“Samantha has 2 friendly dogs, a designated gated space for the dogs, and a large fenced in backyard. My dogs felt instantly comfortable playing with her dogs! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs there and appreciated daily photos, I could tell my dogs were having a great time! Would definitely use her again”
“Beth took great care of our Lulo. We like to check how Lulo is doing and we always got a promt answer from her. We had a bad experience with a boarding company, Lulo was sick (diarrhea) after we picked her up. We are so happy to have found Beth, Lulo has been perfectly fine after staying with her and her family.”
“Melissa and her family took great care of my dogs. She sent lots of photos and they always looked comfortable and well cared for. I know the boys were happy to come home but they were probably sad to go, because they got a lot of love and pets at her house.”
“Carly and her family were the best sitters for Coco we could have asked for! Coco had so much fun she almost didn’t want to come home! We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking with Carly again!”
“Shane was awesome! He kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos. He has a really nice yard that Leo LOVED. I never seen him so happy. 100% worth the drive. He really care for Leo. He even brought him out to us and gave Leo goodbye kisses!”
“Lorri was great taking care of our senior dog while we were out on a short vacation. She is very caring and would like to Know all about your pet’s routine so that she can help best. She is a warm gentle person and I am sure your pets will love her.”
“Christina did a very good job watching my dog Bernie. She did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing throughout the stay. She was good with communication too and very flexible to my schedule. She had a great yard for him to release all that energy. I would recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Amazing cat sitter! Qiyun/Kiki was so accommodating when we had to book our cat Lucy on very short notice. She took great care of her, sending regular pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would rate her 100 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely have your kitty stay here!”
“Anthony was a great sitter for our dog Blue. Blue has difficult feeding habits and Anthony was able to feed him well. We will be sending Blue to Anthony in the future.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Murphy
We couldn’t be happier with the care Cooper received from Kim! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such a loving and caring home. Kim treated Cooper like part of the family and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Cooper came home happy, relaxed, tired, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone we can truly trust with our fur baby. Thank you, Kim, for taking such wonderful care of Cooper! We highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and comfortable home-away-from-home experience for their dog. 🐾❤️ We’ll definitely be booking with Kim again! Grateful!!
Sara was an absolute savior. We booked a trip last minute and she was able be an amazing host for Gia. She was more than accommodating with Gias needs for walks throughout the day and my needs for pics. Gia gets some anxiety when away from home and sometimes doesn’t eat so much the first days. Sara kept me well informed of Gias behavior and I felt relieved that she was with someone who cared so much. More than satisfied and much appreciated.
Our little nervous dog was so happy and so relaxed with Bhairavi and Gary! Bhairavi is an amazing Rover sitter- so kind, thoughtful, communicative, and caring- we will definitely book with them again! We received tons of updates and pictures. It is clear our dog was well loved. We knew she was in great hands the whole time.

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 Murphy 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 Murphy.
<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 Murphy 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.
