“Kylee did a wonderful job watching our cats while we went on vacation. We have three cats, one boy and two girls. She cared for them for four nights. She provided daily updates and sent pictures as well. It was nice knowing they were well cared for while we were away. She is now our first choice for care for our cats when we are out of town.”
“Kyndal had a great time with Cheryl! When I picked her up, you could tell she had been very well taken care of & SO happy. I will be booking with Cheryl again in the future!”
“My sweet baby Princess was with Chloe and her family for a month due to a sudden family situation. I was given consistent updates with pictures and she was taken care of very well. I'm so happy everything went well and I will be sure to use Chloe again in the future.”
“Archie loved his stay with Charity! He had a great time playing and running around with Charity's two dogs. Charity was very responsive and kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us peace of mind knowing Archie was doing well. We would definitely recommend Charity and will gladly have Archie stay with her again!”
“Paige was excellent!! I was a little nervous about leaving my 5 month old shepherd puppy with someone new but she was perfect. Introduced my pup to her dogs slowly and with care, made sure she got lots of play and interaction. Will absolutely be using her again!”
“Samantha was so wonderful! She was able to take my two dogs Remy and Piper on short notice I was in town for my son’s wedding and Samantha came to my hotel to meet us and then was able to care for them during all the festivities. She picked them up and also brought them back. She was so loving and kind to them. I just fell in love with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Samantha, from the bottom of my heart!”
“As soon as we were going out of town we knew right away we wanted our Honey girl to stay with Aurora and her sweet family! Aurora is quick to send updates with pictures and quick to respond. When we go pick up honey from her stay, she is so well taken care of and tired out from a good time. ☺️”
“Kylie was great with our dog who was a little nervous at first being left in a different environment and meeting new doggie friends and a cat. Kylie took the time to let her get comfortable. Will definitely use her again”
“Keitel is super friendly, responsive, and lives in a safe and nice neighborhood. I received daily pictures and updates. I will definitely be reaching out next time I have a trip!”
“We were very relieved when Zhou was available to watch our boy, Hank! He is a new rescue, and has shown discomfort around other dogs - but Zhou was able to care for him in the same house with his two big dogs and got the cutest pictures of them all together! I felt in my gut that Zhou has a special way of connecting with pets, and I believe my gut was right! We appreciate his time spent caring for our boy!”
“Debbie and Mike are awesome with dutchess my German Shepherd 😀 she has been there for a four nights then for last night and Debbie and Mike said she could come back any time . Thank you Debbie and Mike.”
“Based on her expertise, Lilly took great care of my cat, Meeruya. I was surprised that Rudy and Lilly got close to my sensitive cat in a short time. Special thanks to Lilly, who understood and cared about my baby’s poop mistakes. She shared the home camera so I could see my pet while I was out of the U.S., and I had no problem communicating with her. She had a strong responsibility and love for Meeruya. I recommend her if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Sam was so great with our big dog. She sent lots of pictures and it felt like she treated him just like her own dog. Great communication & friendly. Would recommend and will request again for sure.”
“We are repeat bookers with Heather and her and her family always do a wonderful job. Our pup was well loved and was excited to see her again! Will be booking with Heather again in the future!”
“Ron was communicative and sent me pics so that I could see how Hachi was doing. He was able to put me at ease with leaving her with him. I plan to reach out again for any future sitting/boarding needs.”
“Sasha was amazing! I needed a sitter due to a medical emergency, there were so many things at play to where I was out of town when our dog was ready to be picked up. My dad who was just recovering from surgery was not as fast he usually was post surgery. We had to coordinate and navigate a lot considering this was also our first time using Rover. Sasha was patient in navigating the frustrations with pick up. She was very hands on with our dog and communicated with us as we navigated his needs and this app for the first time. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thanks for your help Sasha and helping our family during this time and not having to travel 20 hours with our German shepherd. I cannot even imagine what that would have been like. We appreciate you!”
“Our family pet was thoughtfully looked after. Dennis has a great set up for accommodating dogs. He’s also was very knowledgeable about dog behavior. We have already booked another stay while we go on vacation.”
“We highly recommend Sara! It was incredibly easy to schedule with her. Her home was very welcoming. We know our dog was in excellent care during his stay. She was willing to be flexible with extending the dates when our travel plans were delayed. She frequently sent great pictures and updates. We are so thankful that we found Sara! You won’t regret booking with her!”
“Hannah and Dylan are truly amazing!! They were so thoughtful and responsive! We received lots of updates and pictures of our dog! I will definitely be using them again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
They kept our Bernese Mountain Dog Oreo when we went to Seattle, Alaska, and Canada. They did great! Oreo was happy and well cared for. We will use her again, and our daughter and soon to be son-in-law are planning on using them as well when they elope in Hawaii! I would 100% recommend using them, not too often though, we still need them! 🤣🥰
My dog had the best time with Sara and her wonderful family! She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Send amazing pics and videos. I cannot recommend her enough. She is so kind and Hattie loved her. I now consider her her a friend as well. I would give 10 stars if I could

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Derby on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 153 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Derby. 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.
95% of Derby 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 Derby 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 Derby 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 Derby.
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 Derby 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 KS 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.
