“Brooke was so sweet and communicative! Our dog seemed to have a really great stay with her and looked very at ease in all the pictures. Honey was really happy and calm when we picked her up!”
“Payten was an exceptional dog sitter for our two pups during their week-long stay. Her house and yard were perfect for our dogs to play and relax in. Communication was timely, and she was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Payten's friendly demeanor made us feel at ease leaving our pets in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Raquel was amazing! She was great at communicating, so sweet and provided videos of our two pups. They came home tired and happy from playing with new friends! We’ll definitely choose Raquel next time we need boarding.”

“Amanda and her family and pets were amazing...Do not look any further! This is our first experience leaving our almost 4 year old Mini Schnauzer, Bella. Bella did amazing and we are so happy with the experience. Thank you Amanda and family. 😇”
“Karen and Delbert is wonderful with our boys! They are very well cared for and loved while in their care. Karen is great to send pics and daily updates. Highly reccommend!”
“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER! Kaitlyn as well as her whole family was extremely loving and kind towards our dog. We had to leave for several days…and she was so thoughtful…..sending updates and pictures every day! Not once did I worry about his care. Hands down….the best there is! So glad we found this family to care for Festus when we leave town. ❤️??”
“Gretchen and her family did a wonderful job caring for our dog. Gretchen sent photos each day. Our dog was happy and well cared for! Definitely recommend! I will certainly be contacting Gretchen again!”
“Molly provided excellent care for our Corgi. I received pictures and notes keeping me updated. I was concerned that our pickup time might change due to airline changes and she was flexible to work with me. I very much appreciated the love she provided.”
“I felt confident leaving Dottie with Nella for the first time. Dottie is older, needed medication given and is reactive with other dogs. Nella assured me she had plenty of room to keep all the dogs separated for the length of Dottie's stay. When I arrived for pickup, Nella had Dottie in the yard and all travel kit was packed up. Dottie looked happy and alert. I would be happy to leave Dottie with Nella again, and recommend Nella to my friends.”
“Ashleigh did great with my 2 weenie babies. She has a fenced in, safe yard. She text and sent photos everyday and was very accommodating to their needs. Definitely recommend her services!!!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and enjoy spoiling them. I have two dogs and a chinchilla. We’ve previously owned cats as well but don’t have any in the home currently. I work Monday through Friday and have holidays off, which gives me plenty of time to spend with our pups. When I’m not working, I love playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel loved and spoiled. I would love the opportunity to welcome your pups into our home, give them lots of attention, and make them feel like part of the family. We have a large, fenced-in backyard where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, and explore. The yard is enclosed with a 5-foot chain-link fence to help keep everyone safe, including our dog Pepper, who loves to jump. We’re located in a quiet subdivision outside of town, away from busy highways, allowing us to provide a peaceful and secure environment for your pups to enjoy.
“Our fur baby Goldie had a great time with Emilyn and her husband! We went to SDC for the Christmas lights and she was able to accommodate us on short notice. We appreciated her updates and pictures. If we are ever in Nixa again we will definitely contact her! Thanks Emilyn!”
“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”
“Our super high separation anxiety diva lab was so happy when we picked her up and we got plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. She went on walks, was fed and had the cutest play mate while being taken care of by Tyler. Definitely recommend”
“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Strafford on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 161 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Strafford. 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.
100% of Strafford 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 Strafford 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 Strafford 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 Strafford.
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 Strafford 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.
