“Stephen and Hannah took wonderful care of our Border Collie Hiro. They made a comfortable and warm environment. Drop off and pick up was easy. Hiro came back a happy dog. We will definitely be back!”
“Kay was great with our older dog, Bruce. He has spent 14 years by my side so it was hard to leave him but I received updates and pictures all throughout his stay so I was never wondering how he was doing. I will be using Kay again in the future.”
“Jackie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had on Rover in over five years! She’s quick to communicate, great with animals, and a kind person. She’s also been flexible and easy to work with when I was running late. I could not recommend any more highly.”
“Her and her family were amazing with our dog! We had a last minute need to watch him while we were out of town 10 hours away. I was able to coordinate with her on picking him up at another sitters house and she kept him overnight for us. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and provided the pickup service. All of the pictures showed him so happy and being loved on so much. She will definitely be our go to sitter from here on out. ☺️”
“Great sitters who definitely gave my dog a wonderful time and caring home to stay at. Whole family was giving mine plenty of attention and would happily use them again next time.”
“Steven and Karin did a great job with my dog. They gave him lots of love and sent lots of pictures/updates. My pup had lots of fun. Their dog was super nice and was a great friend for my pup. They took any of my worries very seriously and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and my boy had a good experience. I will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Pam is wonderful! I am a nervous mama when it comes to leaving my baby girl beagle. I have never left her with anyone that I don't know. Pam arranged for a Meet and Greet. My Shelby and I were both nervous at first but Pam sat with Shelby until she calmed down and introduced her beagles one at a time. I was particularly pleased to know that she only accepts one client at a time so my girl wouldn't be with anyone that I had not met before. Pam even delivered her back to me since she was coming my way and saved me a trip! I will definitely keep Pam and her 2 beagles as my #1 sitters for my precious Shelby!”
“Sarah was awesome for Maverick. Super accommodating for this high separation anxiety wolf dog. I have never had maverick boarded anywhere in 7 years and this was a first for him. And he loved it, made new friends and had a good time. Thanks again Sarah and maverick will definitely be back”
“Nina was amazing. Tucker had a lot of fun with her. I’m sure he enjoyed a lot playing with her big and sweet dogs. She sent me pictures and was very responsive. And besides that he got home worn out, meaning that he burned a lot of his energy.”
“Colleen took such good care of our dogs!! She walked them twice a day and provided them plenty of playtime outside. She provided updates with pictures and videos several times a day. We truly felt the dogs were in good hands and will take them to her again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
About: I’m new to professional dog sitting, but I absolutely love spending time with dogs. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available almost every day with a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Happy to work around your preferred drop-off, pick-up, walking, or sitting times. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a caring, clean, and secure environment with plenty of attention and supervision.
“Dan was great with Shiner and sent updates (with pictures)! It was my first time using the Rover app and I’d say Dan made a great impression! Will definitely be reaching out to Dan again!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and my experience caring for senior dogs through Wiggles Senior Dog Sanctuary. I understand the patience, gentle handling, and attention older dogs need, and I’m comfortable supporting medication routines and slower-paced care. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort and emotional well-being so they feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. My husband and I are currently home full time, and I work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and monitoring. This allows me to maintain their normal routine, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. I also have friendly, well-socialized dogs who can provide companionship if your dog enjoys being around others. I always prioritize safety and comfort, and I can crate your dog if needed to maintain their normal routine or give them a quiet space to rest. My goal is to make your dog feel secure, happy, and right at home while they’re in my care.
About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.
About: Hello, I own 6 ferrets, 2 cat's, a dog, a snake and a bird. I've owned animals my entire life and love all animals. Im a sucker for big dogs and especially Rottweiler's and Pit bulls. I don't mind house sitting and letting them out multiple times a day and walking them so they don't get to bored or lonely. I'm also happy to scoop litter boxes and play with cats or ferrets (I'm also a sucker for these little heathens). Also more than comfortable feeding any scaley friends. I don't have any problem with any animals, I've never met a dog I didn't love and I'm looking forward to hanging out with your fur babies. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
About: i have always loved all animals, especially dogs. Growing up we always had animals at our house, and I was always in charge of taking care of them, bathing them and playing with them. I went to school for pre-vet but after graduation I decided to pursue a graduate degree instead of a vet degree. Nevertheless, my love and passion for taking care of animals never faded. My senior year of college I got my first, fully mine, puppy. She is the light of my world, and I have learned so much from her. She has grown with me. I got her when she was only 6mo old, trained her and now people ask me how I trained her so well. She is now 5yrs old and she is the best dog ever. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own. I do have a full-time job (Monday-friday, 7am-4pm) but I am free the rest of the day, my dog, Zoey, would love another dog to play with while I am gone! She is very well behaved. During the weekends I would be 100% available to watch the dogs all day if necessary. I do live in an apartment complex but i usually take Zoey on walks at least 3 times a day so I would be more than happy to do the same for your furbaby. If you need me to go to your house, I will always let you know when I arrive and when I leave. Zoey is not crate trained but if you need me to have a crate for your dog, I have one at home. I will make sure to send you pictures throughout the day and make you as comfortable and happy with the way I care for your babies :).

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.

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.
93% of sitters in Stella 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 Stella 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 Stella.
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 Stella. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Stella 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.
