“Five plus stars! Dustin and Margaret and their children were great with our two dogs. They were able to devote their time to playing and snuggling with our dogs who seemed quite well and happy after a week there. We are so thankful that we found a loving family to take great care of our pups!”
“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.”

“Elizabeth and Lorax are Barkley's new bffs! I was really nervous as this is my 1st dog, and 1st time leaving him with someone I didn't know (only 2nd time leaving him at all), and he's a puppy. I had nothing to worry about! Elizabeth was very kind, updated me with pictures, followed any directions I had for her and Barkley loved having Lorax to play with. I'll definitely book again when needed.”
“Lindsey was awesome with Cane. She and her pups greeted us at the door, which made it easier for my pup to feel happy about me leaving.

If we could leave 11 stars, we would! Darius was amazing with Darcy. Walks, snuggles, chill time, treats, and squirrel chasing…she loved every minute and we were so comforted knowing she was in Darius’s care. He has made a four-legged and 2 two-legged friends for life :). Delighted and grateful…we will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Darius!!
Harley was awesome with my Polly Pocket! I knew my recently adopted foster-fail dog would be great in Harley's hands while I traveled out of state for 5 days. Harley kept Polly busy with treat puzzles, training games, walks, and chasing bunnies in the backyard. I loved the pictures they sent and the thorough and honest updates about how Ms. Pocket was doing. And the cherry on top: I could immediately see some of the training Harley implemented with Polly, which was very appreciated as we settled back in to the daily grind back in St. Louis after the trip. Would absolutely book again with Harley in a heartbeat!
We had a fantastic experience with Mandy. Chuck Norris is a senior guy who mostly just wants to cuddle, and Mandy gave him all the love and attention he needed. We received regular photos and felt total peace of mind knowing our boy was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking again!!! Thank you
Danielle did a great job taking care of our dog. At the meet and greet Danielle asked great questions and helped us immediately feel as ease. Danielle provided frequent updates and was very responsive. She kept my dog busy and I could tell my dog was enjoying her stay. I would highly recommend Danielle to others looking for a sitter.
Sarah did a great job taking care of my Lily over a long 4-day weekend. She provided lots of love and attention, and plenty of updates and photos while I was away. My dog came home happy, and calm, which is an excellent sign of good care. I would definitely recommend Sarah if you want your dog spoiled! And who doesn't want that?!!
This is our second time using Julia to watch our Pancake. I love the daily updates and pictures. But most of all, our dog is comfortable there. She usually takes a little to warm up to people but she has taken a liking to Julia. I will always pick Julia as my first option for a dog sitter!
Nicole & Tim did a 10/10 job taking care of Lemon for us. I received multiple updates every day and TONS of photos. I was never worried about Lemon in their care and was able to fully relax on my trip. We couldn’t be happier with how they took care of Lemon and will absolutely be using them again. They are wonderful!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Richmond Heights is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $78 per night.

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 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
