“Laronna is a very friendly and warm dogsitter. We did a meet-and-greet first which went well, followed by leaving my dog with her for 4 nights. She got to play with Laronna's dog. She sent an update with pictures each night, which was appreciated while I was out of town. I plan to leave my dog with her again, since it worked out well.”
“Teresa did awesome with my dog. She took her for a walk, outside to play, and let my dog nap on her. My girl has separation anxiety and Teresa made her feel welcomed and comfortable. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Cynthia and Robert were great taking care of my doggies. Cynthia is very responsive and makes sure all the dogs needs are met. She’s great in sending photos and updates every day. Her family is great also. I can tell that my dogs had a good time. I will definitely be using their boarding services again.”
“Rachel was very easy to work with! She was always quick to responding and sent tons of pictures keeping me updated throughout the stay. I would recommend and use again, our dog had a great time!”
“Francie was amazing! Gave updates every day and eased my anxieties about leaving my babies with a rover sitter for the first time. I highly recommend her and will use her services next trip :)”
“Katie and her family were beyond excellent! She sent daily updates and pictures of our pup having the time of his life. Great communication and flexibility. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“It was a big relief to find hosts willing to take my Sadie in when we were going on vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was a little concerned because I'd never left my pup with anyone prior to this experience. I was provided picture updates and when I called to check on Sadie, they let me know that she was doing ok. I felt this was a very positive experience and Sadie seemed really happy to have other pups around that she could socialize with. My Sadie seemed to especially connect with the hosts female black lab named Kimber who was about the same age as she, 3 yrs old. I would certainly recommend boarding your pet with this family.”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Camille was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Luna. I truly appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was throughout the entire experience. Initially, we had planned for dog boarding, but when that didn’t work out, Camille quickly adapted and switched to in-home visits. She even made an effort to try crate options beforehand, which showed how committed she was to finding the best solution for Luna. This was a last-minute booking, and Camille was incredibly understanding—even adjusting the dates just one day before the scheduled drop-off. Her flexibility really helped reduce a lot of stress. During her visits, she kept me updated by sending videos and clearly spent quality time playing with Luna. It was very reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Luna was in her hands. Overall, Camille went above and beyond, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter.”
“Quick to reply and very accommodating for drop off and pickup! It was a relief to have someone watching him while on vacation where he didnt need to be crated all day! He enjoyed playing with the other dogs as well!”
“Jing D. Was awesome! Both my beagle and mini Aussie had so much fun! She took them out for walks everyday and sent us pictures daily! My and my girlfriend had peace of mind on our trip because both of our dogs were in good hands! Her dog seemed great and playful as well! We would definitely recommend her! If you are looking for someone reliable and good with dogs!”
“Keith and Katie were awesome with our two dogs. You can tell they love dogs and are good with them. They even sent us pics of Lexie and Rex and we could tell they were very comfortable for their first visit. Keith is very responsive and flexible. We have already booked him for our next trip. Highly recommend! Five stars!”
“Gustavo, thanks for taking the time to get to know Taz, welcoming him in your home, and taking great care of him. He was so calm, relaxed, and happy when we picked him up. Your updates and birthday party pics were heartwarming 💕”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care our Leo received during the weeks we were away. Matt and Sierra treated him like their own, providing regular updates with photos and videos that reassured us he was in the best hands possible. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate team to care for their fur babies.”
“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Charrell did a great job caring for my senior dog during the fourth of July weekend. She got plenty of walks and I got plenty of picture updates. If Charrell was away from work, their cousins stepped in to keep Moze comfortable.”
“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. ♥️”
“I don’t trust many people with my dog, but with her I trusted. She was fantastic. She really took the time to understand my dog and kept me up to date on him daily by messaging me and sending pictures of their adventures, made me feel at ease. I would 100% leave my dog in her hands again.”

Katie was great! I dropped my dog off for a night with her and she provided many updates and followed all instructions diligently. I don’t usually like to leave my dog with people I don’t know but she made me feel extremely comfortable and my dog had a great relaxing time. Would highly recommend and definitely will be going back to her!
Ashley & Alex took excellent care of our two pups while we were traveling! They were very communicative throughout our trip and sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind. Our pups clearly received lots of love, attention, and extra treats—it was truly a mini vacation for them too! We highly recommend Ashley & Alex and will definitely be using them again for our future trips!
Mckenna was amazing. I have never boarded my dog before, she invited me to a meet and greet few days prior to the appointment giving me assurances. Proceeded to send me pictures and updates everyday. My dog was super super excited and happy, which is all I'm looking for. Good experience overall.
Amelia was fantastic! She had us do a "meet and greet" prior to dropping off our fur baby and made us feel totally comfortable leaving Katie with her. Katie had her own "private" bedroom" and enjoyed the company of Amelia's dog, Ozzie. The fenced in back yard was really nice and Katie enjoyed playing and running outside. I would highly recommend Amelia!!!!
My German Shepherd was cared for and loved on the whole time she was in Nuriya’s care. I got updates throughout Eris’ stay. I was worried my dog was not going to handle staying at someone else’s home very well, while I was out of town, but she did amazing. Eris was spoiled and was living in luxury as she deserved. I will book again the next time I need the service.

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Charles. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Saint Charles 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
