“Teresa was wonderful. Kind and thoughtful to make sure our Maggie had a good time. Even a new friend in Snickers. Perfect experience. Thank you Teresa. Will reach out again.”
“"Brandon was very good with our dog, who is large and can have high energy. He asked for any specific care details and provided brief updates throughout our trip. He kindly accommodated an extra day for us on short notice when we had to delay travel due to inclement weather. Would recommend! We will definitely use Brandon again in the future, Moto had a great time!"”
“I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with Mauricio while I was out of town! He kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the weekend, and he was very accommodating when I needed to adjust the pickup time. Franklin came home happy and less anxious than he usually is after a weekend away.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking of Patrick while I was on vacation. Great communication throughout and I felt very confident and safe that Patrick was well looked after. Thank you!”
“I rebooked with Evan, and once again he was there for us, even with very short notice. Our travel plans changed unexpectedly and we had multiple flight delays, and Evan was incredibly flexible and accommodating through it all. I truly appreciate the care he gives Luna and the peace of mind I have knowing she is in good hands. He sends pictures, keeps me updated, and makes sure Luna is well cared for and loved. We’re so grateful for Evan and will definitely book with him again!”
“Timothy is an excellent Rover sitter! He boarded our dog at his house for 9 nights. I like that he had us do a meet and greet first to ensure our dog would be a good fit. This was our first time using a sitter and I was nervous at first, but Timothy had great communication and I really appreciated the regular updates and great pictures. Our dog did well socializing and playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be booking with Timothy again!”
“So happy that Ruby got to Stay with Camille. She sent lot of pictures and videos of Ruby. Ruby also seems to have enjoyed the stay. Camille and her boyfriend took great care of Ruby. We have booked again with Camille and will definitely book again with Camille whenever needed”
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“Bennett had a great time and was taken care of wonderfully! So happy to have found a great spot for him to stay when we are out of town! Thank you for loving on our boy!”
“I had a great experience with Saranya. They were communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about my pet’s well-being. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to others!”
“Zach & Rayna took such great care of our girl, Nala! She had so much fun with their dogs. We loved getting the photo updated and stories. We will definitely be using them again!”
“It was my first time dropping Benji off at someone else’s home and Stacy made me feel comfortable with doing so, she sent multiple pictures a day! Benji loved playing with the other dogs and Stacy’s big backyard! Benji will definitely be back to play!”
“Loki (European Doberman) spend the day and night with Kelly. She was very good with communicating how he was doing throughout the day. I would recommend her for your pet sitting needs”
“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!!!!”
“Kenneth was wonderful and helped us out in a pinch. Poppy had so much fun playing with their dog that she didn’t want to leave. We know that she was well taken care of and we’ll certainly call Kenneth again.”
“I don’t want to leave this review because then everyone will want to bring their babies to Barb and Steve and their availability will go down, because they are awesome! We have two dogs, they come with lots of meds and instructions. I also have one that temperamental and can snap at people and dogs, in addition, the other one that is struggling with eating and taking pills. They really took care of them like I take care of them. They spoiled them, loved them and took care of them as if they were their own. They worked with all their issues and sent pictures so I could see they’re loved while we’re away. There are no words to express how stress free your trips away from home can feel knowing your babies are getting taken care of properly and loved while you have to be away. Truly amazing people for the babies and what all sitters should be like.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Shore
I really appreciate Mauricio taking the time to watch my Pup. He was super responsive to messages. And more importantly: I understand as someone who has used Rover for over 110 times over the last 10 years for my pup, the importance of making sure there is a safe trip between the pup and the owner. After having moved to St louis, it's nice to find someone who's reasonable and timely and they're willingness to communicate and book watching a pup. I highly recommend Mauricio!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 South Shore home-away-from-home, 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 South Shore.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South Shore 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 , 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 .
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.
