“Taylor was great! She provided the perfect environment for my dog to be comfortable and at ease. She communicated with me freely and timely and sent lots of pictures of my dog having fun. He looked so relaxed! Taylor really worked with me and my crazy schedule and was very sweet. I highly recommend Taylor for boarding your pets!”
“My dog did so well with Johanna! She provided updates, pictures, and kind words about him and really eased my worries during a last minute trip for a funeral. Would love to have Teddy visit her and her family again!”
“Hailey has been a reliable sitter for us! She communicates well, is easy going, and great to our dogs. This is our 2nd time trusting Hailey with our pups and will definitely be using her again.”
“My dogs came back home happy as ever! I could tell they were at a better place than a Kennel! Thank you Rick for making their weekend away from mommie the best it could be!”
“Absolutely the best!! Left our chihuahua Bandit with McKenzie for 6 nights. McKenzie gave me daily pictures and updates on Bandit. He adjusted well in her home and became besties with one of her fur babies. She has a nice large fenced in yard so he got plenty of exercise & kept safe. Bandit is a spoiled baby & McKensie definitely treated him as if was her own baby. I couldn’t have asked for more. If I need a sitter for my baby again it will definitely be McKenzie.”
“I loved all the updates and photos I received! He was more than accommodating and did a wonderful job taking care of my kitten! I will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Haley took care of my 1yr old dog Rocco for almost 2 weeks. I’m so thankful for her because she did an absolutely fantastic job watching Rocco! She was attentive, caring, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved while I was away. Rocco seemed so happy and well taken care of when I returned. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Rocco also enjoyed spending time with her dog Nala. Haley kept me posted throughout the entire time I was away which I really enjoyed. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone flexible, reliable and compassionate!”
About: Ive been around taking care of dogs since I was a little girl.I have 3 of my own and I will make sure to treat yours like my own. At the moment im not super busy or working a lot , so i will be home to give all my attention to your pet. I have a big fenced in backyard , i have many family members and a great home to make sure your animals are comfortable and has plenty of company.
About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here. I have a cozy shaded (with plenty of room to move about) pen where your pup will stay when I'm not supervising them in the big fenced yard or talking walks.
“Sabrina took such great care of my pup! She gave him plenty of exercise and sent me pictures throughout his stay which assured me that he was in great care. He had a blast with Sabrina and her dogs! I highly recommend Sabrina if you’d like your pup to be in a safe, fun, and caring environment while you’re away! 5 stars!”
“Karen is outstanding and welcoming! Very lovely and safe farm for the dogs to enjoy during their time away. We set up and meet and greet the day before and everyone got along and bonded like instant best friends. Extremely kind and compassionate giving updates and photos of the fur babies having fun. Onsa was sad to leave after 4 days. We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend using Karen’s home for pet sitting. We will only use her with entrusted care for our dog.”
“This was the first time we had to leave our dogs with a sitter, so we were a little nervous but Lexy was caring and attentive to our dogs and everything they needed. One of our dogs needed extra care being a week post-surgery and Lexy handled it so well. She sent us pictures while we were away, and we could see they seemed happy and having fun. I highly recommend Lexy for dog sitting and I will use her again if I need a dog sitter.”
“Haley was amazing! Our dog had a great time and came home calm and happy. Haley had great communication and sent so many wonderful pictures and videos. We felt very comfortable with the experience and would not hesitate to leave our baby with her again 😊”
About: Hi dog owners! I have several years of experience taking care of dogs. I have two back home that I love and miss dearly. I know they require our special care and attention and I hope I can help be of service to you and your fur babies when needed. I work full time Monday-Friday but I’m home every night. I’m usually around on weekends for any pet sitting needs. Please reach out for any potential bookings or questions you may have. I currently live in a pet-free environment, no smoking, etc. I do have a few littles every other weekend so getting along with kiddos is a must on those weekends.

Rick and his wife are amazing! We have overnight boarded with them before and they always take such great care of our dog. They send plenty of pictures and keep us updated while we are away. They were also very flexible when we had issues and needed to extend for a night. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waynesville on Rover is $32.1 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 37 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waynesville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Waynesville 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 Waynesville.
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 Waynesville 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.
