“Rachel was the perfect sitter for our dog: experienced, kind, responsible, communicative. We really appreciated her updates and photos- we felt completely confident that our dog was well-cared for while we were away. We’d leave our dog with her again in a heartbeat.”
“Pamela is an amazing dog sitter. This is the second time she’s watched my dog Lillie. Lillie loves it there and Pamela makes her feel right at home. Pamela will be my go-to for dog siting!”
“Maddie is great! She’s certainly a dog person and was responsive while she had my sweet girl. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone looking for loving care for the fur babies. Her two dogs are very sweet and I know kept my dog company.”
“Erika was so great to Blaze! She sent me pics and kept me updated. He had so much fun running around the backyard. He came home and slept from all the fun. I will definitely use Erika again! Thank you Erika!”
“I felt very safe leaving my dog with Jane, I received daily pictures and updates and nothing was lost when I came to pick up (blanket, toys, bowls, etc). Highly recommend Jane :)”
“Elizabeth has now watched Murphy 3 times for me and she’s been great each time! He always looks happy in the updates she sends and the only concern I ever have is if he’s going to want to come home at the end of his stay. Will continue to book with her going forward!”
“Misty has been so great while watching our pup. He has the best time, with daily pictures to show for it - we are confident our dog is well taken care of when we are away. She is always responsive and flexible when we need any adjustments with travels/ timing etc. So grateful to have found her and we will definitely be coming back when we take our next trip(:”
“Never any doubt that our dog wasn’t having a great time. Made our vacation so much more enjoyable, can’t thank Christy enough. Will defiantly message her next time we need a puppy sitter!”
“Melissa hosted my puppy so well. She was easy to work with and super communicative making me feel at ease while I went away on a work trip. The puppies had a great time with her dogs and her home was so warm and inviting. ♥️”
“Quinton was a very nice host to my fur baby! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in the photos he sent. Communicaton from him was definitely top tier. I’d definitely book again :)”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have years of handson experience caring for my two female dogs, Princess and Bella. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathroom breaks, basic grooming, and caring for older dogs. I will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. My schedule is flexible, I’m home during the week which gives me flexibility for scheduled visits and walks. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship during the week and on weekends. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for I have two dogs of my own, Princess and Bella, so I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I love to play with them in the backyard and sometimes in the house. I can provide walks and drop in visits that may include fresh water, meals according to your instructions, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and any care instructions you leave, and I’m happy to share updates so you know how your dog is doing.
“10/10 would recommend! I traveled from out of state on short notice, and she was happy to help. Large fenced in back yard for outside play time. Sent pictures of their adventures (walks). Is easy to communicate with. We will hopefully stay again soon.”
“Gracie was well cared for and made part of the family for the few days she spent with Takuya and Mika! I enjoyed receiving the daily videos and photos of her time with them!”
About: I grew up around dogs and spent four years volunteering at an animal shelter in college, where I worked with dogs of every size, energy level, and temperament—including shy, anxious, and reactive pups who needed extra patience. Today I'm a dog mom to Coco, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I keep routines consistent, follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work a full-time consulting job with a flexible, project-based schedule, so I open bookings by date rather than every week. When I'm available, your dog gets my full attention—no hours alone in a crate. My Rover calendar is always kept current, so if a date shows open, I'm truly available. I'm happy to do a meet & greet before any first stay. My home in Webster Groves is a quiet house with a fenced backyard, and the landscaping was planned with dog-safe plants. I host one family's dogs at a time, so your pup is never in a crowd. My dog Coco is a 30 lb mixed breed who is gentle and easygoing with other dogs—she'll play for a bit, then happily nap and give your pup space. She's a little shy with new people, so meet & greets are relaxed and low-pressure. I require a meet & greet before every new stay, walk on leash only, double-check gates and doors, and keep your vet's info and an emergency plan on hand.
“They took great care of my Frenchie when I was out of town for work. It was my first time using Rover. It was also my first time leaving my Frenchie since I got him. I felt at ease and appreciated all the photos and updates. Would recommend.”
“Libby and Argo took amazing care of our senior dog Lillie and our new puppy Cooper. We got frequent updates and pictures and they made our dogs feel at home. We will continue to book with them!”

Could not ask for better sitters! Murphy had the time of his life with them. Murphy has many physical and mental health issues and they were able to manage them all without issue. Lots of pictures and updates which is always appreciated. Murphy can't wait to see them again!
Ashlie was awesome and 10,000% would take the pups back to her family to watch my babies! House was comfy and cozy feeling, pups loved kiddos around, got updates and quick responses. Biggest thing when we did the meet and greet I felt comfortable immediately with her as she was definitely a dog person and felt that trust right away with her! Thanks again gal and looking forward to any future trips to bring them to you!
Hayley and her family did an amazing job taking care of our Freckle! We are so grateful - it was a last minute booking and we couldn’t say enough positive things about Freckle’s time there. It was very clear she got some good play time in and enjoyed her stay. We felt very safe leaving her in Hayley’s hands. She found a great playmate in Dante too! Thanks guys!

There are 1,111 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Richmond Heights. About 92% of Richmond Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
