“We had never left Hazel with anyone before, not even family or friends, because she was always able to go with us, or either me or my husband was with her. But we needed to travel out of town and wouldn't be able to take her. We didn't have any family or friends available to keep her, so we talked about taking her to a puppy resort but after thinking about it we didn't think it would be the best for her. Our neighbor had told us about Rover and that they take their dog to Cathy and she was really good with their dog.....so we decided to take a chance and we are so glad we did. Cathy was so great with Hazel -she treated her like her own. Cathy knew we were going to miss our baby and she would send us pictures and updates. When we picked Hazel up she was happy to see us but you could see that she had been well taken care of. We are so grateful for Cathy. We definitely will be using her again and telling others that need doggie care about her....thank you again Cathy!”
“Ashley was amazing! I had a sudden family emergency and she took such great care of my dog. She was very responsive, sent lots of cute pictures and updates, and was flexible when I had to extend my trip by a day. She also sent my pup home with a paw print with her name on it, which was super cute. I would definitely book with Ashley again!”
“Our dog ended up needing to be on medication right before we were going to head out of town but we had no hesitation still bringing her to Mackenzie’s despite that because we LOVE Mackenzie and trust her to take care of our girl! We are so grateful to have someone we trust to care for our dog when we leave town!”
“A big concern of ours when going away for a long weekend, or a long vacation, is ensuring our dogs are being well taken care of. Boarding is not an option for us, so it's important to find a loving home for them to be a part of while we are away. John, Rachel and their children did exactly that. They provided updates with pictures on a daily basis. One of our dogs was recovering from gastroenteritis and was on meds and a bland diet. We left knowing that she was going to be well taken care of on her road to recovery. We really liked that both our dogs were the only clients during their stay. Their two dogs are well behaved and great companions. We couldn't ask for anything more! Thank you!”
“Lona and Alan took such great care of my Goldendoodle! They were very kind, stayed in touch with regular updates and pictures, and were super responsive anytime I checked in. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“Angelica was great to work with. We had a pre-meeting at her home to introduce my dog to her pets. She made sure her pets were secure when we arrived for drop off and gave my dog time to settle in. She sent regular updates and pics. She even sent us home with a clean dog pen. Will definitely use Angelica again and recommend her highly!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Taylor took great care of Gizmo! Taylor sent regular updates keeping us posted on how well he was doing. Gizmo really enjoyed his time there and felt like a part of the family. We highly recommend Taylor!”
“Amanda was great! This is was the first time using Rover and was such a seamless process. She sent pics and updates throughout the time which reassured Kodiak was in good hands!”
“Laura was absolutely amazing with our big boy over the Christmas holiday season. She kept him for 8 days and never failed to send us pics and updates. It was appreciated that we got to see our boy while gone. He came home as happy as the day we dropped him off. Could not be any more happy with the care that was afforded him. Highly recommend!!”
“Joseph took care of Luna for a little over 2 weeks, and we couldn’t be more pleased. We got the perfect amount of updates and pictures/videos. We’ve left Luna in Jospeh’s care several times at this point, and have no plans of stopping in the future.”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“We were very happy with Bridget as she watch all three of our pups. We found her very loving and attentive as well as organized to handle her clients’ dogs. She has a great setup for dog sitting with a fenced backyard and provides crates for each of her guest pups. We highly recommend her!!”
About: I ran a licensed daycare for children for 5 years, caring for 10 human toddlers at a time. I can definitely handle your schmoochie-poo. Plus, Zamboni is a great co-host! As a mom, I’m home when my kids are — which means I’m around most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My office hours are limited, so someone is almost always here to give your pet attention, routine, and care. Whether it's a walk after school or weekend playtime, we’ve got room in our hearts and our home. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I make up for it with plenty of leashed walks and close supervision. I live near Stocksdale Park, which gives your pup a safe and scenic place to stretch their legs, sniff around, and burn off energy. My home is calm, kid-friendly, and full of love. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a cozy nap spot, they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for here.
“They were the best! Our Charlie doodle gets nervous easily and he warmed right up to them. They sent pics and loved our pup while we were away! We will definitely be using them in the future.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Excelsior Springs on Rover is $21 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
92% of Excelsior Springs 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 Excelsior Springs 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 Excelsior Springs 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 Excelsior Springs.
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 Excelsior Springs 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.
