“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”
“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
“We loved working with Leslie! She did a great job of keeping us up-to-date with how stitches was doing and sending lots of photos. We’re so glad to have someone take such great care of our dog when we’re away.”
“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.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sarah. We added a 5 month old puppy to our pack two weeks before leaving town, and she took our older dog and this new addition without missing a beat. I was a nervous wreck before leaving, but Sarah calmed all my nerves and was so calm about the whole process that we were able to leave town with a sense of peace. Photos and updates daily really helped put our minds at ease while traveling, also! Sarah has an intuitiveness with dogs that not everyone has, and she was the perfect match for us. We're so grateful for the excellent care she took of our girls!”
“Our pup was in excellent hands with Mary! She was able to help us out with a last-minute request, and took great care of Sandy - sent us pictures & updates and was easy to communicate with. We won’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“10/10. Communication was great, my dog seems to have had a great time. Plus NaNa was very accommodating considering I booked last minute. Thanks again!”
“Jordan was so kind and responsive. She sent me updates and pictures which was greatly appreciated! Will definitely be rebooking next time I’m out of town. Apollo had a great weekend! thank you ❤️”
“We had a great experience with Marie and her family! She was available to do a meet and greet before we left Cooper with her for a long weekend and was very flexible on drop off and pick up timing. We got updates throughout the weekend and Cooper came home absolutely exhausted, a sure sign of a good time. We like that he was able to get a lot of interaction with the kids, and they all seemed to like helping out. We will definitely have Marie on our list next time we need a place for Cooper to stay.”
“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!”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“This was our 2nd stay with Julia and it went great! Penny was well cared for and Julia sent regular updates. Would definitely recommend booking a stay with Julia.”
“Jennifer is definitely among the greatest sitters you can get! She was so caring and accommodating. Her cats are also very sweet and sociable, it was great to see how well they got along with my cat Tori. She also sent a lot of photos and videos so I can tell Tori is having a great time at Jennifer's place. Highly recommended to anyone who needs to board their fur babies!”
“Our girls had a fantastic time with Jennifer and her pups! Jennifer sent photos and updates every day, putting my mind at ease while we were out of town. The girls loved spending time with Jennifer’s pups, and they got to go on lots of walks and adventures! I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they were provided :)”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”

Finding care for our pups when we went out of town used to be the most stressful part. Since finding Sarah, it is not! She's amazing to work with, flexible, and sends updates and pictures. As someone who probably spends more time than most thinking about and planning for and training my dogs, I'm pretty picky on who I let care for them and from now on, we can't leave town if Sarah isn't available! :)
Julia was absolutely wonderful with our dogs while we were out of state for the week. From the start, she was friendly, communicative, and incredibly responsive, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. She kept us updated regularly and was always quick to answer any questions. Most importantly, we could tell our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pets, and Julia exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
We used Hailie for the first time that we spent a night away from our puppy and highly recommend her to anyone else looking! She took the time to get to know us ahead of time and tailored his stay based on his personality. She was very attentive to him and ensured that he was comfortable in her home. He’s still under a year old, so he’s got plenty of energy to spare. Hailie kept him busy with playtime and sent us lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated. We look forward to using her again in the near future!
Lesley was a true blessing when we were frantically looking for a sitter last minute. It was our time using Rover and first time using a non-family member to watch Asher so we were very anxious! From meet-and-greet and communication while Asher was with her, to his tail waging goodbye at pickup, we’re grateful to Lesley (and her pups) for welcoming him.
Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!
Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!
Fatima was great and I could tell Piper had an excellent time once she settled. Although it was a short stay (1 night) I could tell she really cared about her experience as she made sure to do all of pipers favorite things, cuddles and bones. Would absolutely use again in the future since Piper seemed right at home

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richmond Heights on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Richmond Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Richmond Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
