“Ben was a life saver! We came from out of town due to a family emergency and Ben accepted my last minute request to watch my two big boys so that I was able to stay with my mom at the hospital. My dogs had a blast with Ben too! Can’t stress how thankful we are, 10/10 recommend Ben!!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“My dog recently tore his CCL and I had to go out of town for the weekend to go to a funeral and was nervous about finding a place for him to stay. Found Jennifer and was completely at ease. Appreciated all of her updates and was a relief knowing he was enjoying all of his favorite activities like sunning in the yard and getting scratches.”
“Our dogs were happy and healthy when we picked them up after a 10-day stay. Catherine provided updates and pics throughout their stay. Her dog Bodie is great with other dogs, (big and small; we have a pug and a large yellow lab and he was safe and respectful with both of them. Catherine provided a meet and greet for us and the dogs prior to their stay on neutral territory at a nearby park. Her dog, Bodie, is excellently trained. Catherine has a calm assertive energy with the dogs which sets the tone for harmony in the ‘pack.’ We are so grateful for her care and expertise and will definitely return for another stay.”
“Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.”
“Reba was fantastic! She gave frequent photos and updates while we were gone, and simply couldn’t have been kinder. Our pups were very comfortable with her and we wouldn’t hesitate to re-book—maybe even just so they get more Reba time!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Heights
Dustin, Margaret and their family took great care of our dog Teddy. He was with them for two weeks while we were out of town. They were so warm and welcoming during our visit. While we were away, they sent us pictures and kept us up-to-date on how he was doing. I our dog was in great hands and we felt extremely grateful for their care. I would highly recommend them!
Leslie is amazing and such a joy. She took great care of our 4yo golden doodle and was so accommodating and caring. We felt so comfortable with her and it was so nice to get away and not worry about the dog. I immediately booked her again! Looking forward to being a long term customer.
Danielle was absolutely wonderful! So kind, caring, attentive, and accommodating for all our pups' needs. She sent us regular updates and photos, and we enjoyed our trip away so much more because we knew our babies were in good hands. So glad we found her. Would 100% recommend!
Julia was wonderful with Banks and Heber! She took great care of them for several days and nights, kept us updated throughout their stay, and sent us lots of cute pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Julia and will definitely use her again!
Ashlie and Phillip were great and we could tell Max did well. He’s on several medications and that didn’t seem to be a difficult thing for them to handle.. Max got plenty of exercise (play) and love from their entire family. Communication with photos was excellent and despite this being our first time with them, we were more than pleased and know Max will be visiting them again!
Shari provided a wonderful environment and loving care for our dog, Poppy. Poppy was relaxed at her home and excited to see Shari the second time we booked her. She sent us cute photos and updates and made us feel that Poppy was in the best hands. We will definitely book Shari again!
Maddy our little dog was happily & lovingly greeted at drop off. Also, she appeared in good spirits on pick up. Marie was very nice, as were her children. We found Marie to be communicative and quick to respond to our texts. We did not receive any pictures, perhaps because it was a relatively short overnight. We would definitely use Marie’s for Maddy again.
Isa is great!! So friendly, and attentive and loving with my dog. I know Lily was well-taken care of and had a good time. I could tell immediately when I picked up my dog that she had bonded with Isa and her friend. Plus she got Lily to eat while I was gone, so that's an accomplishment! I will definitely want to use Isa again for future boarding.

91% of sitters in Richmond Heights 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 Richmond Heights 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 Heights.
<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 Richmond Heights 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.
