“We absolutely LOVED Jason, and so did our dogs! I was honestly so sad that we needed to leave our new puppy with someone because dogs weren’t allowed at our Airbnb — but Jason and his family were THE BEST. Communication was outstanding, and we received videos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Brock and Zoe loved their time there! They had lots of toys to play with and were clearly happy and well cared for. We also loved that we were able to drop them off and pick them up daily, so we could still see them while on vacation. As if that wasn’t enough, they sent us home with the sweetest card that included photos that turn into stickers — such a thoughtful touch and perfect for our Branson scrapbook. Their location was super easy and convenient, right by Branson Landing, which made it perfect for pup-friendly shopping and nature walks. We will FOR SURE be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience for our little pup with Michelle and her family! Her house is clean and safe, and there’s lots of love and snuggles to go around. A very positive experience for us and Henry and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. It is obvious that she loves animals. We will definitely use her for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you Michelle!”
“Emily was great and very accommodating when I needed to change pickup time. Very responsive and felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her sweet family. Would definitely book with her again.”
“She is so awesome!! For never leaving my dog with a stranger and my dog has not been socialized well due to being raised in the country; my Pomimo handled the separation very well. She went above to make my dog feel emotionally supported. Received video and pictures of my dog settling in. Tovah will be my first go to for returned trips if available. :)”
“What a wonderful lady! My sweet Leo had a blast with Janie and her sweet Maui AND I made a new forever friend. So glad to have been blessed with needing a pup sitter so we could meet. This lady will love your pup just like you love them. 10/10 recommend! I even got lost because I am not from the area and she was so patient and kind!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“The night before we arriving in Branson our other dog sitting fell through and Sarah rescued us by taking our last minute booking. She took great care of our two boys! She was very communicative and kept us updated on how they were doing, complete with pictures. She is very conveniently located if doing tourist activities in Branson. We would definitely use her again the next time we are in the area.”
“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!”
“Our sweet poodle is a most excellent judge of character, and he immediately went with Megan and enjoyed his evening with her. She even allowed us to pick him up late after a concert on a weeknight. We were very pleased and would definitely use her again.”
“Ashley was just absolutely amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I 100% would! She really went above and beyond taking care of our girl! We really enjoyed the consistent check-ins and pictures and appreciate the extra time she took to let us know how Harley was doing while we were away! I was so thrilled that she actually seemed to take the time to get to know our fur baby and treated her like one of her own! This was our first time boarding Harley, but Ashley made it so smooth and stress-free! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kim was great. It was super nice to get some Pictures over the weekend our pup definitely had fun as her mini boarder collie was up for playing. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have cared for pets all my life. I have always had a dog or 2 in my house that are spoiled and had me well trained. I owned a dog boarding, daycare, and grooming business in Ozark for 8 years.. I retired about four years ago. Since I am retired, I am home most of the day, except for a few errands to run occasionally. I live alone with two senior dogs who get along with most other animals. There are no children in the house. My home is all one level, with a fully fenced backyard. Fur babies cared for in my home have free run of the house, are allowed to be on the furniture, (unless the owner request differently). I am capable of crating your loved one if they are already crate trained… Your fur babies will get lots of love and ear scratches. I’m experienced in various diets and food prep along with medication’s, including injections.
“Steve is gentleman, very kind and was really great in all respects. He proactively reached out before our meetup for any specific needs and to offer to meet me for a more convenient drop off. Our dog is a really sweet but busy guy and he requires an activity or can get squirrelly. He was so calm when I picked him up and clearly was exercised well the entire visit with Steve.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Walnut Shade is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Shade
Kelli and John were hands down the BEST Rover sitters we’ve ever used. They truly love dogs and I had no doubt that they took the best care of our Golden Retriever. I received updates and pictures throughout the stay, and there is no better feeling to know that your pup is in great care. No doubt that we will use them again in the future. Thank you, thank you!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Walnut Shade on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 .

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 Walnut Shade 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 Walnut Shade 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 Walnut Shade 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 Walnut Shade.
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 Walnut Shade 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.
