“If you’re looking for a reliable Rover in Springfield, Brooke is your person. My corgi Diego instantly fell in love with her space and she did was so attentive to what he needed to thrive. She was quick with communicating and always sent photos of his time with her! I cannot recommend Brooke enough and will only be using her if I’m back in Springfield!”
“This was Kaycee’s 2nd stay with Amanda and her family, and it was just as wonderful as the first! 🐾 Amanda kept me updated with photos, videos and messages, and it was clear Kaycee felt right at home. She had plenty of playtime, attention, and love — I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlin was especially communicative via txt during the whole process of setting up Maddy’s one night boarding. I felt totally confident on leaving and at pick up that Maddy was in good hands. I would not hesitate to use Kaitlin’s pet service again. She was accommodating about my short notice, rescheduling the right day, pick up and drop off times and dealt without complaint when Maddy reverted during her stay to an incident of nervous tinkles. Couldn’t be happier.”
“I don’t know what we would do without Karen & Delbert. They are Brandon’s second parents! He gets so excited when we ask him if he wants to go see Karen, Delbert & Bairn. Do not hesitate to give them a call to care for your pet(s). They are absolutely the best of the best!”
“Raelynn was great! She communicated with me each day, several times, by sending me pictures and letting me know how Rosie was adjusting. I would 100% use her again. Thank you!!”
“Molly and her sweet daughter were wonderful with our corgis while they stayed with them for a week. We were at first a bit hesitant to leave them with someone we did not know since it was our first time. However, our dogs immediately warmed up to them upon meeting for the first time prior to booking. Molly communicated well and provided us with updates or any concerns or questions she had. We received cute photos of them playing in the yard and going for a pup cup. Our dogs appeared happy and well cared for upon pick up. We'd happily have Molly care for them again.”
“Thankful Gretchen and her family were so accommodating for a last minute board. She was quick to provide pictures and give me updates on my two dogs. Definitely recommend!”
“Mikala was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Remy and treated her like part of the family. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Remy was happy and comfortable. Mikala was also incredibly flexible and understanding when my drop-off plans changed multiple times, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She even reached out after I picked Remy up because she found one of Remy’s bowls and offered to ship it back to me. That level of thoughtfulness really meant a lot. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely trust Mikala with Remy again. Highly recommend!”
“Ashleigh was great with all aspects of our dog's stay. Great communication before and during the stay along with pictures of how our dog was doing. Lucy was comfortable with Ashleigh and her home, and we look forward to using her again!”
“Nella took such great care of our dog Trip! She provided frequent updates on his stay while we were gone and he came home happy and clearly well cared for. We would definitely rebook with her!”
About: Booking with me allows for your dog to get a well rounded experience that will keep them comfortable while also providing fun and healthy experiences for them! I live on a 40 acre farm that has many trails, animals, and senes that keep your dog happy, safe, and busy! I also have studied k9 behavior and know how to provide your dog socialization and stimulation! I am currently a student at a local college where I play basketball! This allows me to be home in between classes and practices unlike somebody with a full time job. I can provide potty brakes every 2-4 hours as well as walks and play time! I have loved animals since I can remember! Making sure they are happy and well cared for is a must! I will treat your pet as my own and I understand your pet is not just an animal but rather a member of your family! Ensuring they are treated as such is important to me. Fresh water, attention, play time, cuddles, and more are very important to me. I also understand you need updates! Pictures and frequent communication between me and you is also important to me!
“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”
“Tiffany is a joy and truly loves the pets she cares for. Our pet was well cared for and had such a great experience with Tiffany. She is excellent at communicating and keeping us up-to-date! She went out of her way to provide the best service and care for our pet!! We are so glad we met her and will definitely reach out to her again!”

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.
