“Wow! What a great experience. This was my first time using a service like this. I am so thankful I found this service and Karen. I immediately knew I made the right choice when I walked in. We were given a warm welcome by Karen, Squeak and Koda. Karen provided updates and sent photos. I am definitely going to be a repeat client.”
“Ali was great with our Tucker he is 3months still learning everything as he grows this was our first time using Rover , and we are very pleased, she was not only so kind and humble with us and Tuck but her communication is awesome she sent updates and lots of pictures which we loved so much.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have years of handson experience caring for my two female dogs, Princess and Bella. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathroom breaks, basic grooming, and caring for older dogs. I will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. My schedule is flexible, I’m home during the week which gives me flexibility for scheduled visits and walks. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship during the week and on weekends. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for I have two dogs of my own, Princess and Bella, so I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I love to play with them in the backyard and sometimes in the house. I can provide walks and drop in visits that may include fresh water, meals according to your instructions, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and any care instructions you leave, and I’m happy to share updates so you know how your dog is doing.
“Libby was absolutely amazing & made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pup in her care while I was away for the weekend. She is so sweet, has a very kind soul & it’s obvious she loves pups as her own- seriously cannot recommend her enough! ?”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal since I was 10. I work from home completely remote and live across the street from Tower Grove Park with a fenced in backyard, and would love to spend my free time loving on more dogs. From neighbors, friends, family, and referrals I’ve cared for peoples homes and pets with just as much love and care as I do my own. I trained my own puppy daisy since she was 8 weeks old and she will hopefully soon be a therapy dog. She recently graduated from her first 12 week course and is about to enter the next level. Additionally we had senior special needs dogs growing up. I previously worked in health care and have experience administering medications and acting in medical emergencies. I am a photographer by trade and will send you lots of cute updates 🤍 I can’t wait to love on your babies! I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to love on your pups! I can work with your dogs schedule as needed as I understand schedules can change. I live in an 1200 sq ft apartment with my puppy daisy who is great with other dogs and a sweet calm girl. I live across the street from tower grove park and have a small green space private yard for potty breaks
“Ebony was a fantastic sitter for our doggies!! She communicated well with us prior to sitting as well as throughout the time she had our dogs. We loved the pics she sent while we were away. Definitely allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Ebony if you are in need of boarding.”
“Brittany was easy to communicate with, super friendly, and sent great pictures. She clearly wore our dog out on a number of hikes and he was happily exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks, Brittany!”
“Highly recommend Judith for your doggy care needs! Our little guy stayed for the weekend and I could tell he was having a blast. Judith sends pictures and updates, walked him, fed him tasty treats and I can tell he had a great time! We will definitely request Judith to take care of our pup for all of our future trips!”
“Eric and Morgan did a great job watching my little Jack Russell for a week. I would highly recommend their dog boarding! I got lots of updates and pictures from their daily fun. I wish more people would care for pets and others like they do.”
“Harley was awesome with my Polly Pocket! I knew my recently adopted foster-fail dog would be great in Harley's hands while I traveled out of state for 5 days. Harley kept Polly busy with treat puzzles, training games, walks, and chasing bunnies in the backyard. I loved the pictures they sent and the thorough and honest updates about how Ms. Pocket was doing. And the cherry on top: I could immediately see some of the training Harley implemented with Polly, which was very appreciated as we settled back in to the daily grind back in St. Louis after the trip. Would absolutely book again with Harley in a heartbeat!”
“Caimalia was great with my fur baby. He had a great time. She was flexible, an awesome communicator and sent lots of picks. Will definitely use her again!”
“Ross took amazing care of our golden retriever while we were out of the country for two weeks. He sent daily updates and photos and I could tell she was so well loved and cared for! Definitely recommend Ross to take care of your pup.”
“Kaleigh and Evan were great. They asked lots of questions, made a welcoming space for our dogs, and sent daily pictures. They eased our concerns and made me feel comfortable about leaving our four legged family members with someone else.”
About: I have had a cat and dog of my own for 20 years and have been walking neighborhood dogs as well as pet sitting for about that long as well. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and would love to give your fur babies as much love and attention they may need or want while you are working or out of town! I am a photographer so I love documenting my time with them so you can keep updated on how they are doing while you are away. I own my photography studio and make my own schedule which allows me to be as flexible as I like to be available for you and your pups! I have a fenced yard with turf, a small pool in the summer, and covered back porch which allows freedom for my four pups to fun around in the fresh air as much as they like! My cat is pretty typical - she runs the show! She has full run of the house but loves taking advantage of my upstairs office because that's where all of her food, water, litter box, and hammock are. You can generally find all five of them rotating their time laying up in my front window keeping an eye on the neighborhood!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Louis
Christopher was amazing with Jet and Maverick. He took a last minute booking which was great for us as we were only passing through St. Louis and needed the boys to be boarded for the night. He even brushed my dogs at my request. Both of the boys were happy when we picked them up.
I can’t say enough good things about Jayde! She makes it so easy to leave my baby without worrying about him being taken care of. Very good communication and daily updates which I love. My boy came back so relaxed and happy. Definitely someone I recommend leaving your fur baby with!
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!
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!

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.
There are 1,078 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Saint Louis. About 92% of Saint Louis sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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. 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.
