“Nana was amazing! I got updates and pictures every morning. She followed all instructions to a tee. And she cared for my pup like he was her own. There was a minor medical problem that cropped up that she handled amazingly. I will definitely use her again!”
“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”
“Our dog had a great time with Mary and got to attend many fun activities. Mary also sent us many pictures throughout our time away and was very responsive to our requests. We would highly recommend Mary to other puppers and their families.”
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”
“Guinness had such a good time at Sidney's house with her dog. He was exhausted and a little sad to leave them. She sent videos and pictures so I could see what Guinness was up to. Ill definitely be using her again!”
“Madeline took wonderful care of our boy! She was very professional and friendly, and we highly recommend her. Especially if you have a smaller dog than can be anxious in a new/strange environment. Hopefully she's not booked the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Sophia did such a great job caring for my Franklin. He had the best weekend going for walks and playing fetch in her fenced in yard! Sophia was great with communication and so easy to work with!”
“Lucy was fantastic! From the start, her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated throughout my dog's stay with thoughtful messages and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. She was clearly experienced, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I felt completely confident in her abilities the entire time, which made it much easier to enjoy my trip. I would absolutely book with Lucy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter. Thank you, Lucy, for taking such great care of my pup!”
About: **I currently have two dogs of my own, but they stay at my partner's home if I am boarding your dog!** Hi! I’m a PhD student who has called St. Louis home for the past five years, and I’m currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation. The good news for your pets? I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, belly rubs, playtime, and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away! I am located in The Grove with access to a dog park at my apartment complex as well as walking distance to both Forest Park & Tower Grove Park for pups that enjoy long walks. One of my dogs loves people and dislikes other dogs, while the other one enjoys dogs and is wary of people so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and their differing needs. Whether your pet is a professional cuddler, an energetic adventurer, or simply here for the treats, I’d love to spoil them ◡̈ Since I work from home while finishing my PhD dissertation, pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. 🐾 My schedule is much more “read a paper, take a dog for a walk, write a paragraph, give belly rubs” than a traditional 9-to-5. I can easily adapt to the schedule of your pup! I’m happy to build pet care into my day and give your pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Having a furry coworker around is honestly a pretty great dissertation-writing perk! 😂 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see what your furry family member is up to. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe & happy!
“You cannot go wrong choosing Reba! We were a little apprehensive at first, as it’s our first time using Rover’s service. But Reba put our worries at ease immediately. In addition, she kept us up to date throughout our puppy’s stay—we enjoyed lots of photos of all the fun! Her accommodations were more than ideal and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much Reba! :)”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“Elizabeth was great! She sent regular updates with pictures and I felt very comfortable with my dog in her care. Would recommend and use again!”
About: Say goodbye to worries when leaving your pet behind. Picture your fur baby enjoying daily playtime, meals, cozy naps, and daily walks around the neighborhood from a playful dog lover, sitter, and friend. 🐶❤️ I currently work from home on a hybrid so I’ll have plenty of flexibility to play with your fur babies! I am also available for doggy daycare daily! I have a small dog park in my apartment which provides a fun space to meet and play with other doggies! I also have experience potty training pups!
“This was our 1st time using Rover and was a little nervous leaving my baby with someone i didnt know. My pup had a wonderful time, received updates and photos which helped keep my mind at ease. She was well taken care of and got to hav a vacation with other pups while we were gone. Will definitely recommend Shannon and will use her again in the future. Thank u again”
“Our pup absolutely loved every minute staying with Shaina! Each photo update was adorable and she was incredibly kind and flexible when our travel plans shifted which was an added bonus. We can’t wait to book with her again!!”
“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!”
“It is obvious how much Adolfo loves and respects the individual dogs in his care. Charlie is an older dog with some medical conditions, so we were concerned with how well his needs would be met. Those concerns disappeared when we saw how Adolfo relates to his charges. He even carried Charlie up and down the steps as needed. I highly recommend trusting Adolfo with your pet for boarding.”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
“Ben is a great dog sitter. My dog is a 4 months-old puppy, has great energy. When I picked him up, he was very happy and I could tell he had enough exercise and received good care. Ben also sent me update pictures, which I really appreciate. Ben is reliable, a good sitter. I definitely would have him sit my puppy again.”

John was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! He took great care of Pichu and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I really appreciated the communication and the peace of mind knowing Pichu was in good hands. It’s clear that John genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!
I can’t express the full gratitude and gratefulness I have for Jayde. She put my heart and mind at ease. Receiving the daily updates helped tremendously. Thank you for all your kindness and love towards Nino Brown, I would definitely recommend Jayde to anyone who asks or need services. ONCE AGAIN THANK JAYDE!!!!!
This was the first occasion for me to have someone sitting with my pets. Emma was AMAZING! She came for a meet and greet prior to the boarding dates, was in touch without throughout my time away, sent multiple photos over the two days and I returned to two happy and healthy pups. Although I do not live in this area of the country, I would not hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone. Thank you, Emma!!
I have two dogs and two cats, and finding someone we truly trust with all four of them is no small feat — but she exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, keeping us updated on how each pet was doing, how they were interacting with one another, and anything they needed along the way. One of our dogs is older, and she was especially attentive to that, proactively letting us know about any health-related observations so we were never left wondering. That kind of thoughtfulness and care means everything when you’re away. She treated our pets exactly the way we would — with patience, attention, and genuine love. We came home to four happy, well-cared-for animals, and we couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend and will absolutely be booking again!
Barbara had our Oli (mini schnauzer) overnight for the first time and we are so pleased. Barbara sent us plenty of updates with pictures and videos, which we loved! And Oli looked very happy from her sleepover experience! Win win! Also, Ruby (Barbara’s rescue) is so sweet and was so good to Oli. I love that they got to interact and even slept in bed with Barbara. We would definitely love to have Barbara taking care of Oli again 🥰
Everything went smooth!!!! It was truly a pleasure dealing with Jordan and he gave my wife and I the ability to enjoy our weekend away. Not having that stress truly made the whole experience so much more enjoyable for us. We already requested for our next family event coming up in September !!!! Thanks again Jordan!!!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Louis on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,060 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Louis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Saint Louis sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Saint Louis landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
