Dog Boarding in River aux Vases, MO

“Beth was great! She sent us pictures of our dogs during their stay with her! We felt comfortable they were being well taken care of and were able to enjoy the wedding we attended worry free! We will definitely book her next time we’re in Missouri!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since age 5. My friend's neighbors and family have all trusted me to care for their animals. Including feeding, bathing, & walking. Rover is my fulltime job, I am available Monday through Friday daytime 11:00am-4:00pm & some Sundays in the areas of Ste Genevieve, Perryville, Festus, Bloomsdale,and Farmington. I am open to do day visits and dog walks. Please let me know the Sunday before for the week what you need! This leaves plenty of time for puppy loving! ❤️ I currently have a very gentle loving puppy who loves to play indoors & outdoors. So in my home your dog will have some company 😀 I do not have a fenced in yard which is a challenge so we go on walks in the neighborhood & have a nearby park we enjoy going to so no worries! We have lots of fun and exercise! We play games outside and inside.

“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”

“This was my first time boarding with Ashley and she will definitely be my first choice in the future. I have an elderly Pug that has very little sight and limited hearing and Ashley took wonderful care of him. She kept me updated on how my two guys were doing and was very good about sending pics. I highly recommend Ashley.”

“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”

“Nova had a great time with Tiffany. I was sent pictures several times and she just made herself right at home. Will definitely be checking availability with Tiffany first for any future boarding needs.”

“Charlie loves it here! Between the friendly family and their pets and the fenced yard to run free and play ball she is in heaven when they watch her.”

“We couldn’t have been happier with Ryn as our dog sitter over the holidays! Finding someone who truly understands and can handle dogs with behavioral challenges is no easy task, but Ryn completely exceeded our expectations. Two of our dogs have big feelings—one is fear reactive, and the other struggles with anxiety—and Ryn managed their unique needs with so much patience, care, and skill. She even made real progress with one of our more challenging pups, which was such a huge milestone for us. Ryn’s extensive experience as a dog trainer really stands out. She took the time to learn about each of our dogs before their stay, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring she was prepared to meet their needs. Her setup is perfect, with a big, secure fenced yard and an environment designed for both enrichment and safety. It’s clear she puts so much thought into creating a space where dogs can thrive. One of the things we appreciated most was how Ryn included her own dogs in a way that felt safe and comfortable for everyone. She has an incredible ability to read dog behavior and ensure all interactions are positive. Whether it was playtime, downtime, or moments when our dogs just needed a little extra reassurance, Ryn handled everything with ease and professionalism. Throughout the stay, Ryn kept us updated with regular, thoughtful communication. Her updates included how our dogs were feeling emotionally, what they were eating, and even little stories about their day. The photos she sent showed just how happy and relaxed our pups were, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What truly sets Ryn apart is her genuine love for dogs and her ability to connect with them on an individual level. She doesn’t just care for dogs—she truly understands them. Her ability to build trust and confidence, even with dogs who struggle with fear and anxiety, is remarkable. We came home to happy, groomed, relaxed pups who were clearly given so much attention, playtime, and love. It’s everything you could hope for as a dog parent. Ryn went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and happy the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who is not only amazing with dogs but also truly gets them, Ryn is the absolute best. Whether your dog has special behavioral needs or just deserves the best care possible, we can’t recommend her enough for training or sitting. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Through my years of pet care, I’ve learned that every critter has their own way of needing to be cared for and loved. I enjoy focusing on outdoor exercise and exploration. It’s a fun way to wear everyone out and meet all the needs for nap time. I currently work a full time remote job, so my schedule is very flexible. Boarding is easy to fit in to my daily schedule. In-house visits can be scheduled easily throughout the day. Let me know your situation and we can see what’s possible! I live on some land that allows for wide open ranging with safe boundaries from any roadway or neighborhood. I have a friendly dog myself, Roo (m/neutered), who gets along well with anyone who likes fetch as much as him. He is off leash with me on site everyday and tends to keep everyone within the established safe zones. However you need routine to look, I’m happy to accommodate.

About: I’ve had animals all my life. love my bull terriers and my cat nephews. All animals are precious and I love taking care of them. I currently work full time from 7-3pm Monday through Friday. I can care for pets after work and in some cases before work if it is needed. I currently have one dog named mages. He is crate trained and house trained. My HOA does not allow fences so dogs are taken out on a leash .

“Ashley did an incredible job with my Sophie. She sent TONS of pictures and always kept me up to date with everything. Between her updates and pictures she really made me feel comfortable being away from her. I could not have asked for more!!! I will be using her again and again!!”

About: Hi! I worked at an animal shelter when I was 21 until I was 30. My husband and I have fostered 30+ dogs and cats, caring for them day to day while waiting for them to find their forever homes. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats of our own. 4 of them being seniors/entering their senior years, we understand the extra care the oldies need! I’m currently a stay at home mom, so besides short trips to and from school, I’m home almost all day! I’m maybe gone 15-20 minutes twice a day. :) I do crate pets when I leave for short trips and overnight. I also only will do pet groups by size, meaning little dogs with only little dogs. We have a big fenced back yard for dogs to take potty breaks or play.

About: Hi! My name is Ryley C.! I have been walking and watching dogs since I was probably 10 years old. I have worked at animal shelters and helped manage a doggy daycare. I’ve done grooming, bathing, and nail trims. I currently have 4 of my own pups. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have! My prices vary and so do times. I would be more than willing to send you as many references as you would like me to! Hope to hear from you soon! I currently am teaching swim lessons part time and doing online college classes. I would love to be able to help keep your pups busy while you are away during the day or while you work from home! I can help with anything needed! I can take them on long walks, runs, play fetch, help with basic training, pretty much anything you need!
