“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”
“We are so thankful to have found someone who takes such good care of our pup while we’re away! The peace of mind that she’s safe and well taken care of is absolutely priceless ❤️”
“Obi always love visiting, from daycare to boarding. He can barely contain his excitement as we pull up. Amy is great with communication and keeps you posted with pictures and videos. Amy and Peter do a fantastic job - highly recommend!”
“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”
“Sonja treated our dog so well I'm surprised he wanted to come home. She sent pictures while we were away of their trip to a park, snuggles, playing, chewing on a bone, and looking very happy. We are happy to have such a high-quality dog sitter!”
“10/10. Communication was great, my dog seems to have had a great time. Plus NaNa was very accommodating considering I booked last minute. Thanks again!”
“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”
“Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.”
“Shonte was absolutely amazing! I didn’t have to worry about my pups at all, they were definitely in great hands. She kept us updated with photos & videos throughout the day. She really went above & beyond any expectations. Great experience! I would 10/10 recommend!”
“Christina is a wonderful sitter. I went overseas for several days, and I wanted to make sure my fur babies were in good hands. We had never used a dog boarding before; therefore, I was slightly nervous. However, Christina made the whole experience effortless, provided me with frequent updates, and overall, I could see that my pups loved being with her. Highly recommend Christina!”
“Nila had a wonderful time with Mrs. Amber and her family. Mrs. Amber consistently kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Mrs. Amber to watch your pups!”
“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Simone was great with our pup! This was the longest we've ever left him so I was a little worried about how he'd react. She made him comfortable and he always seemed happy if every picture/video. She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Ben was awesome with our golden retriever! He sent daily pictures and updated us on how out Gus was doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Excellent host for our pup! She was very prompt in responding to our request, answered our questions, and was very accommodating to our requests. We really appreciated setting up a meeting before our stay so that our dog could get used to a new environment and appreciated all the pictures she took. Would book again!”
“Great experience! Sarah was very responsive, sent picture updates and was conveniently located near the arch. My dog enjoyed playing with her dog, making it feel like a play date rather than a boarding experience!”

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 IL 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.
