“Catherine was just awesome. We have a 10 lb jack Russell mix, Sammy, who is a very nervous, anxious little guy. When we went for our meet and greet, he just ran around and made himself at home. We have never left him with anyone other than family but I just felt extremely comfortable with Cathy and knew he would be good with her. She sent me some pics of him and kept me updated during his stay of 6 days. She keeps the large dogs separate from the smaller ones which was good for Sammy as he has not really been around other dogs much. She will definitely be my go to sitter from now on. If you choose to leave your pet with Cathy, you can relax and enjoy your trip because she will give him care, attention and all the love they need.”
“Absolutely ? % perfect. John, Rachel and the kids are warm and welcoming. They were perfect with our fur baby. I especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use them again.”
“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!!”
“Amanda did an excellent job! She sent updates twice a day with pictures and was very understanding with how dogs are in new environments. Nice big fenced in backyard and a very dog friendly environment.”
“Lona and Alan were fantastic! They were very thorough in getting to know the details about caring for Skipper, and communication was excellent. They gave my high-energy pup lots of playtime, walks, and attention. They also sent lots of photos throughout his stay - I could tell he was having a great time!”
“Sharon helped us when we needed a sitter last minute for our Escobar. She kept us updated with pictures and videos! Escobar was well loved and cared for while we were away!!”
“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!”
“Taylor is wonderful! She sends photo updates of the dogs while we’re away, and the dogs always come back happy and well taken care of! Will definitely use her again :)”
“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!!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care. I am experienced in dog walking, dog boarding, in home pet sitting and diabetic pets/sick pets. I have reliable transportation and am available at all times to give your pet the care they need! I am committed to being available at all times including weekends and evenings. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!
“Gail is THE BEST!! You can tell she really loves animals, especially the dogs. She made my Fredo feel very relaxed and at home under her care. She has a lovely home and makes all of the dogs she cares for very comfortable. I would use her again to watch Fredo. Fredo can't wait to go back to play with Sky! Thanks Gail.”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She was super communicative about Ruger and sent amazing pictures and videos along with the updates. He was so happy and came home zonked! She made the overnight process much easier and brought me ease while I had a long shift. I will be booking again!”
“Rachel was great! She clearly cares about and has the ability to put our dog at ease throughout the stay. We appreciated her flexibility and detailed updates. Would highly recommend! We hope to have her care for our dog again!”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Excelsior Springs
We were in the area for a school reunion and boarded our 2 dogs. This was our 1st time to leave them anywhere other than our home! Sarah was very good to show us her home and large fenced yard by video before we traveled to Missouri from Texas. Once we arrived she gave us a tour and we spent time letting our dogs get adjusted to her home and pets. She sent us pictures of our dogs throughout their stay that really made us comfortable with leaving them. The experience went perfectly and we highly recommend Sarah if you need your pets boarded. Excellent service. Will definitely use her again when we visit family in the area the next time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Excelsior Springs on Rover is $21 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 537 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Excelsior Springs. 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.
93% 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.
