“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.”
“Our girls had a fantastic time with Jennifer and her pups! Jennifer sent photos and updates every day, putting my mind at ease while we were out of town. The girls loved spending time with Jennifer’s pups, and they got to go on lots of walks and adventures! I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they were provided :)”
“Randy was so great! She was able to take care of Maggie with a little bit shorter notice, and went out of her way to make sure she had space to be outside even beyond her normal walks and playtime. I hope Randy is available next time I'm out of town!”
“Misty and her family took great care of our golden retriever! She sent pictures of our happy pup, and our dog returned back to our routine at home without skipping a beat. We already booked our dog's next stay with Misty :)”
“Evan and Kaleigh are amazing! I was delayed on the drop off day. They were so patient and encouraged me to take my time getting there. We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”
“Reema was a wonderful host! She took great care of our dog and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She is very kind, friendly, and has a lovely backyard where our dog had a great time playing with her dog. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Reema and would be happy to leave our dog with her again in the future. Thank you so much! 😊🐾💕”
“Cheyenne took great care of our pups! She was very responsive and very flexible with drop off/ pick up times. The whole process was very smooth with her and I would highly recommend.”
“Greg and family took care of Raven for 10 days while we were visiting our son's family in North Carolina. Everything went very well it seems and we are so pleased with the care and compassion that Greg and team put into their care for Raven. We received a picture each day which helped ease our sense of missing her. This is just the perfect place for her. We've already scheduled two more doggie day care sessions and truly appreciate working with them. Can't praise them enough as Raven is not the easiest dog to take care of.”
“We used her twice within a month for our mini bernedoodle! Bear was excited to go back the second time and ran inside. He was tired when he got home, a sure sign he had a good time.”
“I’ve had Karen watch my dog a couple of times, and each time has been fantastic. When I dropped off my dog for her second stay, she was so excited to see Karen and her dog, Squeak! It’s clear that my dog has built a great bond with them both. Karen sent daily photos, which I really appreciated—it was comforting to see my pup having such a great time! I can tell she feels loved, gets plenty of attention, and is well socialized during her stays. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend Karen as a sitter!”
“Summer is just amazing! We were so happy to leave our Lexi with her for a week. She sent daily updates with such sweet pictures and I think Lexi had more fun with them than she does with us on a daily basis. Would definitely recommend her!”
“I don't have enough words to thank Ursula and her husband for the wonderful care they provided for our dog, Cocoa. They sent me lots of pictures every day, which gave me peace of mind and showed just how happy and comfortable Cocoa was in their home. She also seemed to really enjoy the company of their dog. I could tell Cocoa was well cared for because she was actually sad when we brought her back home from Ursula's house! I was looking for someone who would treat her like a member of the family, and I was a little nervous about leaving her there since it was the first time we had ever been apart. However, I can confidently say that Ursula and her husband cared for Cocoa as if she were their own. I am so grateful for their kindness and dedication, and I will definitely be using Ursula again in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I must say I have absolutely no regrets! From day one, Leah was amazing! She was super responsive, warm and welcoming. I was so nervous to leave my cat Shai, as cats can sometimes struggle outside of their homes, but from the moment I let Shai out of the carrier, he was on the go! That let me know I made the right decision. Her kids were so gentle with him as well, which was another indication of a loving, safe environment. I am so grateful and thankful for meeting these wonderful group of woman. This will be my go to for pet sitting from now on! Thank you all so much!”
“Amazing communication and LOTS of pictures! Will definitely use Jennifer again to watch Sammie, I felt reassured she was in good hands seeing my pup playing and having fun.”
About: Hello, my animal care experience began when I was a child. I grew up on a farm, and learned animal care, and training. I have always loved animals, and felt and affinity for them. I have a background in human health care, but am well versed in animal CPR, and am experienced and comfortable administering medications including iv, and injections. I’m experienced caring for, and training pets of all ages, and stages of life. I love dogs and cats equally! I’m in the entertainment industry (musician) so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I often work on the weekends, but I will still have availability during that time. I’m not usually gone for more than 6 hours. I have no pets in my home currently. I live in a condo with a roommate. We have a small fenced yard, and a larger fenced area for dogs immediately adjacent to our yard. I love walking, and will typically walk dogs, unless there are reasons the dog can’t.
“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
“Ali is awesome! She’s super kind and quick to respond. She sent me pics while she had my baby and took good care of him.. my husband even forgot to grab the dry food when dropping him off so Ali saved the day with some of her own. So grateful to have someone to watch my older dog!”
“Our dog enjoyed her stay at Katie’s! Katie was attentive to her needs and her dog got along great with ours. Katie’s home is cozy and Finley enjoyed the large backyard. I hope to be able to rebook with her in the future!”

Raina is fantastic with our two doodles. They very obviously have fun and come home happy but tired. This was our second booking with Raina. We will definitely book with her again. She is so great at sending little videos and pics of the dogs having fun. That helps when you miss your dogs, and it helps you know they're doing well so you can focus on whatever you are doing that caused you to need a dog sitter!
Reema was lovely! She took care of our dog Chi Chi while we were on a long vacation and gave daily updates. Chic Chi also had a playmate as Reema has a small dog herself who’s was as welcoming and friendly as the owners. Chi Chi got plenty of love, affection and playtime and returned home a happy pup. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,107 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Westwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Westwood 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 Westwood 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 Westwood.
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 Westwood. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Westwood 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.
