“John and Rachel were great! We felt perfectly at ease during our trip knowing that Wrigley and Bodhi were loved and taken care of. I loved the update pictures that were sent to me during our time away. Highly recommend and I am sure Wrigley and Bodhi will be visiting again!”
“Every pet lover and owner knows how hard it can be to have someone new take care of your pet family. Odin & Finn were immediately welcomed and treated like family. Chloe sent photos and messages with updates. We definitely recommend Chloe & Collin to take great care of your pets. They are our new go to home when we are are away from home. Big thanks!! 5 STARS!!”
“Meilan and her family took wonderful care of our pup! She was very easy to communicate with and sent pictures each day we were gone. We will definitely use her again in the future when we go out of town. ❤️”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child. As a pre-teen, I used to go to my neighbors' homes to take their dogs for walks. Then, in 1993, my parents finally gave me my first dog—a black English Cocker Spaniel. I haven't been without dogs since. The first one was stolen when he was a year old. The second, another black Cocker, lived for 14 years. During that time, I also had a Yorkshire Terrier who lived to be 17. Currently, I have a 12-year-old female Papillon who came with me from Brazil a little over two years ago. I am Brazilian and qualified as a veterinarian in 2003. I spent six years working in a clinic treating dogs before switching to a different area of veterinary practice for personal reasons. Since moving to the US, I have been a full-time mom, as my youngest daughter is not yet school-age. I believe a meet-and-greet is beneficial for both parties; it’s a time for pets and their owners to get to know me better, and for me to get to know the pet (I like to fill out a form during this time to record details about them). I understand that just like us, dogs need regular walks to stay happy, healthy and mentally stimulated. If life gets busy and you're unable to take your pup out as often as you'd like, I'd be happy to help. I also offer loving in-home care for pets who prefer to stay cozy and comfortable in their own home while you're away. Services offered: dog walker, boarding, drop-in visits and doggy day care. I offer other pet services upon request. I am currently a full-time mother and homemaker, so I do not have a job that keeps me away from home for long stretches at a time. I have a friendly 12-year-old female dog, but she doesn't know how to play with other dogs; she’s a companion for quiet moments rather than playtime. I have three children—aged 4, 6, and 9—who adore dogs and love playing with them. I live in a house without a fenced yard. The raised deck has a gate and is a spot where my dog likes to hang out and watch the activity. I’ve installed a 34-inch removable fence in a small area where a dog can be left without constant supervision (provided they aren't a climber or a jumper).
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Shawn was so great!! He met us for a meet and greet before boarding, and then when we brought the dogs back to stay they were excited as soon as they saw his neighborhood again. He took excellent care of our two pups over the weekend! He clearly was very attentive to my dogs while they were in his care because they came home happy and exhausted! He checked in daily and provided pictures of our happy pups while they were with him. He really went above and beyond and we will absolutely be using him again in the future because our dogs LOVED him.”
“I can't thank Gail and Dog Vacay enough!! Right from the meet and greet I knew I had picked the best. Our 12 year old Aussie/Collie mix Sydney felt so at home immediately. Gail's comfortable home let Sydney keep up with her daily pastimes: sleeping on the sofa and looking out the window! :) Sydney takes daily meds which were administered with no problem. Gail sent updates and even pictures to us that made my vacation more relaxed too. Gail's other little border gave Sydney a fun friend. I'm not sure Sydney wanted us to come home! Gail is a teriffic lady and was a great surrogate mom for Sydney. Thanks again- Christine B.”
“Ronel is the absolute best! I have three dogs with very different personalities and very different needs. She very quickly picked up on what each one needed and individualized their care. She even slept on the couch with my 17 year old dog so he would be comfortable. Loved the pictures and videos she sent so I could see they were doing ok. I will absolutely bood with Ronel the next time I need a sitter”
“Amanda and her family took great care of my Remi. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and Remi always looked happy and having fun. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for great care of their dogs. We will be definitely using her again!”
“Luz was absolutely wonderful with my Oliver! She sent me multiple daily updates and pictures and really catered to his specific needs! Will definitely be boarding him with her again and would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you so much for everything Luz!!”
“Mackenzie has been great about letting us bring Murphy over with just a days notice if we've had an urgent need. This support means a lot when you have family crisis occurring!!”
“Mikayla did a great job with my dog Lilah! Sent lots of photos and gave updates on what she was up to each day. She scheduled a meet and greet before the booking to ensure our dogs got along and they had no issues! I would definitely book with Mikayla again :)”
“Jenny was absolutely amazing!!!! She made my dog, Tucker feel right at home immediately! My dog absolutely LOVED playing with her dogs and being included in their daily life. Jenny sent pictures and updates every day with little stories how Tucker was doing. She was also super flexible and understanding when our flight was cancelled and we couldn't make our original pick up time! I was totally at ease knowing that Tucker was safe, happy, and I didn't have to scramble to figure out alternative plans when I was stuck MILES away! Thank you so much Jenny! You were a life saver!”
“Lucy just had her first overnight away from home. As always, Tory did a phenomenal job helping calm her anxiety, and keep a relatively normal schedule. The updates throughout the day are always hepful. Lucy now has a wonderful "2nd home" ...with her two puppy friends (Hazel & Khaleesi)! Tory is absolutely the BEST puppy sitter we've ever had, and we will always recommend her skilled services and care to anyone!”

John, Rachael and their family are absolutely amazing! We are able to leave our pup without worry and he always comes back happy and well cared for. As soon as we turn into their neighborhood our guy gets so excited! We have started planning vacations around their availability!
Shelby and her husband were incredibly nice and accommodating! They responded quickly and were able to help me out with boarding my dog at the last minute. Shelby sent me pictures throughout the week and kept me updated on how everything was going. They have a huge backyard for the dogs to play and get plenty of exercise, and their prices were great! On top of everything, I forgot to bring treats and a bone for my dog, and they went out of their way to pick some up for him. You can really tell they care about the dogs they watch. I highly recommend booking with Shelby. I would absolutely use her again!

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Oak Grove 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 Oak Grove 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 Oak Grove.
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 Oak Grove. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Oak Grove 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.
