“Rachael & John sent photos everyday. Ruby played with their dog and seemed to completely enjoy herself. Their home is clean and welcoming. What I especially liked was that they are home most of the day so Ruby was only crated at night. Could not have had a better experience in leaving our dog with Rachael & John!”
“My dog took to Sharon immediately. Dogs can always tell if the human is good with pets. Sharon sent a couple pictures and gave me updates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her (and her husband).”
“Daine & Ashley went above and beyond when they had my 11 month old pup! I got picture updates frequently and he had a blast playing in their yard and with their two adorable dogs!! Thank you SO much!! I would recommend 100%!!”
About: I've had numerous pets throughout my life including dogs, cats and even a lizard. I currently have two cats in and a bearded dragon. I love animals and enjoy caring for them! At this time I am in-between jobs so my schedule is open. I am available at any time unless one of my kids has an event then I will block out that time frame. My cats eat once a day, and I fill their bowls every morning. My bearded dragon has salad in the mornings, and whatever protein of the day in the afternoon/evening. I am available to do the same for other fur babies and would gladly take dogs for walks to get some steps in! I prioritize the safety of not just my own animals, but all animals I encounter. I adore animals and wish I could help them all.
“Kathleen was amazing and caring! Bunch of photos updated everyday and my pup has gotten used to socializing with other fellow dogs thanks to her! Would definitely recommend!”
“MacKenzie was great! Can’t wait to take Bella there again! We had our girl boarded because she has extra needs being older. She needed insulin, supplements, special food, etc. we got daily updates, photos, and she even clipped her nails and gave her a bath. Wish I could give her more stars! Thanks Mackenzie!”
“Leslie took such good care of our pup. He had never been away from home before so this was so out of his comfort zone but she took such good care of him. Would love for her to be one go-to dog sitter.”
“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover for sitting service. Erin had lots of positive reviews and was a great dog sitter for my pet. She sent me daily updates along with pictures which was fun to receive. It was a great experience and I'm already scheduling my dog's next stay. I would highly recommend giving Erin a try. You will be glad you did!”
About: I ran a licensed daycare for children for 5 years, caring for 10 human toddlers at a time. I can definitely handle your schmoochie-poo. Plus, Zamboni is a great co-host! As a mom, I’m home when my kids are — which means I’m around most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My office hours are limited, so someone is almost always here to give your pet attention, routine, and care. Whether it's a walk after school or weekend playtime, we’ve got room in our hearts and our home. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I make up for it with plenty of leashed walks and close supervision. I live near Stocksdale Park, which gives your pup a safe and scenic place to stretch their legs, sniff around, and burn off energy. My home is calm, kid-friendly, and full of love. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a cozy nap spot, they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for here.
“Bobbi did a wonderful job taking care of Sailor! She sent videos and/or pictures everyday with an update of how Sailor was doing. Sailor always looked so happy and content in the videos/pictures. Bobbi was so loving and attentive to Sailor’s needs. I will definitely hire her again in the future! Thank you, Bobbi!!!!”
“Our doggies had a great stay with Seth and Sumer. This was our first time using Rover and Seth and Sumer made it a great experience. I was glad not to have to leave my dogs at a kennel. They kept us updated with picture and about how the dogs were doing. They gave our dogs the care they needed, exercise, lots of fun and cuddles! Thank you so much!!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and rescuer of dogs. Life is not complete without a dog to snuggle up with at the end of the day. I’m a retired public school teacher so my schedule is pretty open on weekends as well as week days right now. I’m ready to walk and care for your pet. I have a large fenced yard and 3 of my own rescue fur babies that get along with other dogs fabulously. I can do drop in visits at your home also. I love walking and staying active so walking your dogs will be a treat for me.

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 Richmond 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 Richmond.
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 Richmond 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.
