“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Lyssette was extremely communicative, and my pup loved her and her dog. Her yard is huge, Valkyrie had the run of the whole downstairs and was super happy. Will definitely use her again!”
“Kelsi was EXCELLENT. She very responsive with communication and loved her pictures and updates. Leaving a young pup with her felt like a lot to take on but she seemed very willing and capable! Sounds like they had a wonderful time together. I will definitely use Kelsi again in the future!”
“Dave and Daniel provide a clean, comfortable and relaxed setting, with a shaded patio and pretty backyard. My guys, Buddy and Micky, looked relaxed and content in the picture and video D & D sent to me, and when I picked them up, it seemed like Buddy wanted to stay longer! I am confident that my guys are being provided excellent care and have already booked another stay. It's so nice to know they are safe, happy and well-tended! Thank you D & D!”
“We met Gayle while searching for somewhere to board our dogs for two weeks. This past weekend we left them with her for a quick get-away and practice stay. I have never been happier. Gayle kept us up to date, sent pictures, answered all our concerns (one of our dogs is "special-needs"). We picked up two happy, healthy, tired dogs and we know they'll be in good hands with Gayle for future stays. Highly recommend!”
“Alex was extremely responsive and so flexible. I booked a stay for Buddy the day before and Alex was so easy going and easy to work with. Alex's dog was a great match to tire out my playful dog and she came back happy and exhausted! Thanks Alex!”
“Barbara did a tremendous job taking care of my dog Luna while I was away for a weekend. She’s very friendly, and you can tell she truly loves dogs. She’s a great dog sitter!”
“We recently adopted Finn and were a bit anxious about how he would do after being with us for such a short time. Kristopher was wonderful—patient and responsive from start to finish. He kept us updated with photos and info that really put us at ease. Finn clearly had a great time with Kristopher and his family!”
“Amazing care!!!! Elizabeth knew we were concerned to leave our new to us dog for the first time and sent the perfect amount of pictures and texts!!! Our little guy also made great doggy friends and came home after 2 days happy, relaxed and tired!!!!!! I recommend Elizabeth to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, competent and loving caregiver!!!!”
“This was my first experience using a doggie sitter and it went extremely well. Angelique was wonderful, she sent me updates on how my dog was doing and pictures as well! I would definitely use her again, when and if I need someone.”
“5 stars for Jean. I needed a very late pick up time and she was happy to accomodate. My Maltese Celeste was sitting in Jean's lap on the couch nice an cozy at the end of her stay. ”
“Angelica and Bruce took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was really clear from the moment they met our pup that they love dogs. They took him on tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We felt extremely comfortable he was in great hands and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area.”
“Our small dog, Bijou recently spent her first overnight with Jamie and Nicole. They were very welcoming to Bijou and us. They took excellent care of her. She almost didn't notice us when we came to pick her up. I take that as a good sign that she was feeling right at home. We feel totally comfortable leaving Bijou with Jamie, and will be taking her back for a longer stay soon.”
“Muffy, our 15-month-old, 11-pound cockapoo, apparently had a fine time with Siru! I could tell because Muffy was reluctant to leave. We received photos and updates from Siru, which are fun to get and always reassuring. Two thumbs up!”
“Samantha and Brian’s family watched our Wheaten Terrier for two weeks. They kept us updated with photos and we knew he was in good hands. Thanks for giving Charlie lots of snuggles while we were away.”
“Saawan and Kangna were the best!! Our corgi is a lot to handle sometimes, being a high energy breed, with his barking, and corgi habits. And they did such a great job with him. He came home happy and tired. We loved the regular updates they sent and were so happy to see pictures always popping up while we were on our trip. We loved their communications and flexibility when we had a 5 minute delay picking up. We will sure be adding Saawan and Kangna to the top of our list for sitters.”
“Amazing! Mariia and family were so kind, patient, and loving to our high energy Boston pups. Everything from leading up to the weekend to pick up was handled with attention and care. We received videos and pictures thru out the overnight. I will def be rebooking with Mariia… a gem! 💎”
“Our first time having Jo Lynn and David sit for Griffin and couldn't be happier! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. You could tell right away how much they genuinely care about the dogs they look after — kind, caring, and thoughtful in every interaction. They sent us photos almost every day, which we loved getting to see. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our dog was in such good hands. We'll definitely be booking Jo Lynn again and highly recommend them!”

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.
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 Saint Louis 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 Louis 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 Louis.
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 Louis. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 Louis 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 OR 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.
