“This lovely young couple treated my Sadie as if she were their own. While I was away on my trip,I was contacted every day with a picture and a report. Sadie is 12 years old and it’s hard to leave her but I would leave her with this couple again! Thank you, Morgan and Eric appreciate it!”
About: I have fed, cuddled, and played with many different cats and dogs that we had from childhood until now. Pets of all kinds, have always been a part of my family and I would love to be a part of yours when you need to get away! I work from home so my schedule is flexible, accomodating mornings and evenings, which is perfect to tuck your little one in or feed them breakfast. I am available to drop in for walks, feedings, or even just socialization at your descretion. Anytime of day works for me as I can schedule around your needs.
“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!”
“Ben was very communicative and responsive. Our pups are very high energy and he did a great job with them. Highly recommend you book Ben for your pets as well!”
“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”
“I needed Ali last minute, and have never met her before, she was quick to respond to my request. She was very accommodating in terms of the needs of my senior dog, and was able to be flexible when scheduling drop off/pick up times. I appreciated her asking great questions, and receiving periodic photos with updates. Although she was a new caregiver for my boy, I felt he was in good hands.”
“Our little bichon baby had an amazing time and looled really happy with Judith. She made him feel at home. We were also relaxed as she made sure to send pictures and letters every now and then. Our baby enjoyed all the home made treats that she offered him. We are glad that Frudo was in good hands with Judith when we were away. Will definitely go back to her when needed.”
“Adolfo was absolutely fantastic! He was so accommodating whenever we had a last minute change to our flight. We were worried about our boys as they had never stayed with a stranger before and Adolfo put all of our worries at ease. There were daily photos and videos that assured us that our boys were having fun. We were gone over 4th of July weekend and the dogs looked like they were having a party all their own. We will definitely be booking with Adolfo in the future and would recommend him to anyone!”
“Our dog enjoyed her stay at Katie’s! Katie was attentive to her needs and her dog got along great with ours. Katie’s home is cozy and Finley enjoyed the large backyard. I hope to be able to rebook with her in the future!”
“I have a 10-year-old beagle (Maggie) and she is always stayed with family in the past when I went out of town. This past weekend was our wedding and so family is on able to watch the dog. We first had a visit early in the week with Ruthie and she immediately called any concerns I had with leaving my dog with her. That says a lot :-) Ruthie sent us photos of Maggie multiple times during the weekend to keep us updated on how she was doing and it meant a lot to my wife and I to know Maggie was in good hands on our big day. Ruthie is in a great location with a park nearby as well as a nice neighborhood to walk in and Maggie truly enjoyed her stay. I would highly recommend Ruthie to you if you were looking at this post and wondering who you can trust with your puppy!”
“Amy and Pete or hands down the best Dog Sitter we have ever used through all the years that we have owned various animals. From start to finish, they made our experience away from our pets more than above and beyond. they sent numerous pictures and videos, kept us updated and truly made it feel like they loved our dogs in their home. I can’t stress enough how much I recommend them to everybody I know! Thanks for taking such amazing care of our boys! We honestly can’t wait to book another trip just for having the peace of mind knowing that they will be well taken care of.”
“Everything went perfectly. Blossom was made to feel a part of the family, well cared for, given lots of attention and love, and the best possible choice for boarding my precious little dog.”
About: As a protective dog momma myself, I know firsthand how much it means to have a trustworthy caretaker to step in when your fur baby needs love and attention while you are away. For over 8 years, I have been providing care for pets all over The Lou. After first helping my close friends and families in need of an extra paw from time-to-time, I now provide care for families all over. From bearded dragon lizards to cats to dogs the size of small elephants, I have cared for all kinds of pets - including well-trained, untrained, pets with special needs, senior aged pets, and more. My passion is providing you with peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and in good hands. My mission is to provide exceptional love and care just as you would. I’m currently working in the Chesterfield area Monday thru Friday from 9am to 5pm with one work from home flex day per week. I am available outside work hours and on weekends around the clock to care for pets and prefer to stay overnight with pets in their home so they are most comfortable while you are away. If your location is relatively close to Chesterfield, I’m happy to swing by on my lunch breaks to provide drop-in visits as well during work hours during housesitting services. I care for your pets just as you would on a daily basis. Safety is of my upmost priority at all times. From utilizing harnesses, to making sure the fence is secured in all areas, to being mindful of our surroundings while out and about - safety is my biggest priority. I prefer to always begin with a meet and greet so we can all get to know one another, assess routines, behaviors and more.
About: I have taken care of healthy outgoing puppies to pets with special needs that require a little more personalized care and attention. I enjoy taking care of them all. I am a 10 year retiree that has plenty of time to share with loving pets. I have my own vehicle and a flexible schedule. I am a retired IT professional from the Federal Reserve. I value quality, professionalism, and honesty. I am punctual and I have good communication skills.
“Dustin and Maggie are terrific! They are so nice and treated our pup, Chico, like their own. We got lots of pictures and Chico had a great time! Highly recommend! Chico is already looking forward to his next visit.”
“Viki & Dave were very warm & loving hosts to our 2 Jackabees (Jack Russell - Beagles). Our dogs had a really fun time playing with the other dogs, they got along wonderfully.”
“This was my first time using Barbara and company and they took great care of my THREE dogs! I was frequently updated with pictures, and both drop-off and pick-up went very smoothly. They prepped their house for my dogs' arrival and had them packed up & ready to go at pick-up.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
Monica and her son RJ took care of our dog for six days over the Thanksgiving holiday. I previously had people come to the house to feed and walk him when I went out of town but he seemed stressed when I did that so I thought I would try to board him this time. He seems much calmer and happier having spent time at Monica’s place. I also appreciated the updates and pictures.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oakville is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,026 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oakville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Oakville 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 Oakville 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 Oakville.
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.
You and your Oakville 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.
