“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!”
“Jill was communicative and shared pictures daily. She was patient with my dog who had a little separation sadness initially. It was apparent that she cared for Coco the same way we would at home. We returned to very happy dog. We will definitely use Jill in the future.”
“This was our first time ever using Rover. I’m quite pleased with it and for sure will use this service again! Laronna was so pleasant and awesome. We did a meet and greet a few days before the reservations. I was very comfortable with her right after. She gave me updates and pics daily which was so sweet. I will book again with her in the future. If you’re hesitant like I was in the beginning, she definitely changed that quickly.”
“Lindsay and her family took great care of our dog. She was easy to communicate with and was super flexible. She sent updates regularly and responded to every message I sent. I especially loved that she let my dog sleep in bed if she wanted. We would happily use Lindsay again!”
“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!”
“Nicole was an excellent sitter for Molly! She treated her as if she were her own dog. Molly’s tail was always up in the pictures she sent and that means she was a happy dog!”
“Stacy treated Asher like he was her own. I was a bit nervous leaving my in-training puppy for the first time, but the pictures of him playing, napping, and feeling at-home helped a lot. Asher had a great time and I plan to book Stacy again next month for a two-week stay.”
“Cynthia and Robert were awesome! Very communicative and able to help on short notice. They went out of their way to make sure my JoJo was comfortable and welcomed him like one of their own fur babies. Would definitely recommend and plan to use their boarding services again in the future!”
“Kelly was so great with our puppy Luna. We needed care within a short notice for a long weekend and Kelly was perfect. She took Luna to a dog park, took her on walks and spent lots of time with her. She was patient with her new puppy energy and we would definitely use Kelly again. Luna was sad to leave 😊”
“Our dog spent 10 days with Sara and her family and when we picked him up he was his same happy self. Sara sent a daily picture that helped us to know he was in good hands. She even took him for a car ride :) Would definitely recommend! Thanks for taking good care of our Loki!!”
“Rayna and Zach are awesome! They took care of Reba on a holiday weekend and accepted an extra night last minute when plans changed. My pup was so happy and relaxed when she got home from playing with their dogs all weekend! I’ll definitely book them again!”
“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”
“Evan and Kaleigh are amazing! I was delayed on the drop off day. They were so patient and encouraged me to take my time getting there. We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”
“Gracie was well cared for and made part of the family for the few days she spent with Takuya and Mika! I enjoyed receiving the daily videos and photos of her time with them!”
“Our dog really enjoyed her stay, she came back well fed, exercised, and happy. Could not ask for more. Brianna sent photos and a daily wrap-up just to keep us informed about our dog.”
“Jessica was amazing! It’s always nerve wracking when you have to leave your pup with a new sitter. Jessica went above and beyond while caring for my dog. She and her family helped my energetic 2 yr old golden get lots of energy out and gave her lots of love and attention. Jessica was also great at communicating and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely be booking with Jessica in the future!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in South Shore is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $44 per night. 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.

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.
94% of sitters in South Shore 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 South Shore 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 South Shore.
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 South Shore. On Rover:
- 90% 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 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 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.
