“While traveling for the wknd to St Louis- I decided to pick Jennifer due to her previous ratings. I wanted to go out, adventure the area with a friend that lives in the area since my other plans unexpectedly changed. I didn’t want to leave my senior dogs alone in the Airbnb for more than a couple hours. The dogs and I met Jennifer the day before. She was flexible and patient with me while I was trying to figure out the Saturday times and plans on my end. She kept me posted with pictures and videos. I’m glad my boys felt at home at her place with other dogs and her daughter. I will use her next time I'm in the area. She helped ease stress off me so I didn’t have to worry about my boys being solo while I was out. Thank you once again!”
“I have a young puppy (3 months old) and she had a great time. She was well taken care of and will definitely be coming back! I was provided updates and pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend.”
“Wow! Stephanie is incredible! We just moved to the area and were looking to find someone we could reach out to for occasional daycare and overnight stays and I am so grateful we found her. She responded quickly, was incredibly accommodating and provided exceptional service. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos, provided an incredibly thoughtful welcome bag and made sure our dogs were happy and safe throughout the day. She went above and beyond and I truly can’t say enough positive things about her. I am an overprotective dog mom and am very particular about who watches my dogs. They loved her and so did we. We will most certainly be back!”
“I just got my first dog and was super nervous having someone watch him for the first time. Jeanne made it much easier and I feel very comfortable letting her watch my pup. I will be booking her again!”
“Hailie and Alex did a wonderful job looking after Yodi during our brief stop in St. Louis! We were a bit worried about how long it would take him to feel comfortable in a new environment, but based on the pictures they sent and how quickly he fell asleep after being picked up, he had an enjoyable and eventful day! Not only was it clear that Hailie truly loves animals, but their dog Evie was playful with Yodi and helped get all his energy out. We definitely recommend if you're looking for a positive experience for your pet!”
“Lorri took such great care of Charlotte and kept us updated through the day. We so appreciate your loving care & look forward to Charlotte’s next stay with you! Thank you so much!!”
“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”
“We did a half day of daycare with Marie as an introduction (first meeting). Everything seemed to go great, and our pup was happy at pick up! We definitely plan to use Marie in the future.”
“Highly recommend Jessica. She did a great job of doggie daycare when I relocated and needed to care to bridge me during the first weeks. Will use again and recommend to all”
About: Grown up with dogs my whole life. I am a licensed canine massage and rehabilitation therapist. I have experience with training all types of dogs and personalities. Always love a good challenge and won’t back down to anything! I have an extremely flexible schedule. All of my time and energy will go into your fur babies and it will be the best part of my day! I have worked with all types of dogs, aggressive, fearful, nervous, reactive, overly excited! You name it, I’ve done it! I love to build a bond and a trust with every dog, on their terms for their own safety and mine!
About: Hello! I have been pet sitting ever since high school for family friends, in college I continued for employers, etc. I went to school to be a Vet Tech and worked in the field for 4 years until I left to pursue another career with more income. I have experience in emergencies, medications & any special needs. I am patient with puppies and older dogs. I work from home, so I take my own dogs on 3-4 walks per day and as long as its not too hot we go for 5-7 mile hikes. I love all animals. I take care of horses/reptiles as well. I have 2 horses that I board 20 minutes away- I can feed/exercise to your needs (obviously at your home). I do have a cat and 3 children under 5 so dogs must be ok with them all. I currently work part-time from home and part-time as a substitute, but my husband works full time from home so someone will always be home unless there is a practice which usually last an hour. I have a fenced yard, a dog park and park down the street. I walk after every meal which you pet will go on with me.
“Raven had a wonderful stay with Greg and Jane. This is a perfect situation for her as she is nervous around other dogs but is comfortable around people. Greg had a sharp eye to get her out for walks duriing the period and in general provided for a tranquil stay. She was in a great mood when I picked her up and Greg had walked her just before my arrival so that she had already gone potty before I came. I'm thrilled with Greg and Jane's attentive care and will try to see if they are willing to care for her in the future. Thank you!”
About: I've spent much of my life living with and caring for dogs--from growing up with dogs throughout childhood, to helping care for dogs as an adult, to having Spencer, my most recent dog. I don't currently have pets of my own, which means visiting dogs get my full attention and don't have to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. I genuinely miss having a dog around! I work from home and love the idea of giving someone's dog a cozy, low-stress place to stay while their humans are away. I intentionally accept dogs from only one household at a time, so I'm able to get to know their routine, personality, and quirks and make sure they get lots of individual attention. I have a dog door that suits a large dog and a fenced-in backyard in beautiful Southwest Garden, across from The Hill. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and am happy to care for senior dogs. I'm currently focusing on friendly, reliably housetrained adult small and medium dogs that I can comfortably handle on leash. I prefer a meet-and-greet before a first stay so that both the dog and I can ensure we're comfortable together. And I love sending photos and updates! Getting pictures of Spencer when I traveled always made me happy, so I'm delighted to do the same for you. I work from home Monday through Friday from 9am-6pm, so I’m home much of the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and plenty of attention into my routine. I live on a quiet, tree-lined street with sidewalks and no through traffic, just ten houses from Sublette Park. I love walking the perimeter of the park, so dogs who enjoy walks will have plenty of opportunities to get out and "sniff the puppy newspaper." I’m happy to take dogs for several walks a day depending on their normal routine and energy level. I do leave the house for errands and activities, so dogs should be comfortable relaxing at home alone for a few hours at a time. I have a quiet, dog-friendly home with no resident pets, and I only host dogs from one household at a time. I have a large, fully fenced privacy backyard for supervised play and potty breaks, plus a dog door that can be closed and locked when needed. Dogs are welcome to relax on my large couch, which is always covered with waterproof pet blankets. At night, dogs can sleep in their own crate in my downstairs den, on the couch, or--if they’re well behaved without a crate--on a dog bed in my bedroom. I don’t provide a crate, so owners should bring one if their dog needs it. I prefer to meet new dogs before their first stay so I can learn their routine and make sure I can handle them comfortably and safely. I’m currently best suited for friendly, reliably housetrained adult dogs who aren’t strong pullers, destructive chewers, or determined escape artists.
“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”
“My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!”
“Davey is always great with Clifford! Takes great care of him and treats him like family. Clifford is always excited to go see Davey and he comes home just as happy! Definitely my go-to dog sitter!!”

About: We’ve loved meeting all kinds of dogs through Rover, whatever breed or size, and we’d love to spend time getting to know your furry friend through walks, cuddles, and just being together!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sappington
Zinaida & Family did a Fantastic Job of Caring for our girl. They were very attentive and thoughtful. We loved the updates. We felt very very comfortable that our girl was safe. I will recommend Zinaida to our friends and next time we need a dog sitter. 5 Stars ⭐️ !
Jennifer was great at knowing how to slowly introduce my shy new rescue dog to her dog. My pup came out of her shell and had a great time, as did my older dog, who loves visiting Jennifer’s. My husband and I had a great road trip knowing both dogs were in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Sappington is $37 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $37 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 690 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sappington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Sappington commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of November 2026, there are 690 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MO. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
