“Hailey was very quick to respond and very accommodating for my dogs to board with her over the weekend. She already had crates at her home for my dogs, which made the process a lot easier not having to pack so much. I even reached out to her the afternoon I was supposed to pick them up and asked if she could keep them till the next morning instead, and without hesitation she changed my booking for my convenience. Very thankful for her flexibility and taking care of my boys.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She came in clutch after a really poor experience with another Rover sitter— Chloe in Cincinnati…my first EVER Rover booking, who canceled us at the last minute (3 days before our 3 night stay) because we requested a meet and greet. But Rachel, welcomed us with open arms, 3 days before we needed a 3 night stay. She immediately offered a meet and greet and made time for us to come by with Honey! She took & sent pictures of Honey throughout her stay and assured me she was having fun. She gave my sweet girl lots of love, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas with my boy without a worry at all. Thank you, Rachel, for treating Honey like a part of your family. Your kindness and reassurance my puppy was doing well, gave me a whole different impression of Rover. We appreciate YOU!!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with everything. The Stamms are so nice and took great care of Charlie. They sent us updates and pictures during his stay. He was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up! Usually we get the cold shoulder and ignored when we bored him… but not this time! We will definitely be booking with the Stamms in the future. It’s so refreshing and reassuring knowing our pet is safe and taken care of when we are out of town.”
“Percy was well cared for and greatly enjoyed his stay with Deana and her husband! We are so glad we found them. They went above and beyond to care for my dog and make him happy.”
“Angel was wonderful! She updated and sent us pics of our little girl daily and her children loved on our fur baby all day long. They took walks and she got along very well with Angel's dog and cats. I will use her again! Thank you!!!”
“Jane was wonderful with Penny. Our dog was feeling separation anxiety and she was so kind and patient. She sent lots of pictures and I felt very good about leaving her with Jane. This is our second time using Jane and I’d definitely use her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Tammi is fantastic. This was my first experience using Rover and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She made me feel relaxed and I know my dog had the best weekend ever. She sent me photos and texts as well, which was greatly appreciated. Tammi knows and really REALLY understands dogs. You can trust her with your fur baby! ?”
“Jenny was absolutely wonderful! Our first time using rover and she made us feel so confident that Stella was in great hands during our time away. She sent regular updates and photos every day, it was clear Stella trusted her very much!”
“Holly sent pictures and updates of how Jaxson was doing. She was super easy to coordinate a meet and greet ahead of time so Jaxson and her dog could meet also. I'm sure Jaxson and Millie had a great time running around their fenced yard together. Highly recommend!”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would! Karen took excellent care of our little Ody! She played with him, gave him plenty of love and even a bath when he got wet and muddy from all of the spring rain! We also received pics and updates during our vacation. When I arrived after a week to pick him up, he was happy to see me, but looked right at home napping on the couch. I would highly recommend Karen as a sitter! We will be bringing Ody back any time we are away.”
“Sadie and Lola had the best stay!! The updates were great and we loved receiving pictures of our girls! Nothing is better than the reassurance knowing pups are in the best care!! My girls will be back soon!!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with Fiona! She kept us updated with photos and messages, took great care of her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy. We really appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. We would definitely recommend her and book with her again! ❤️”
“Dalton goes the extra mile in making you and your dog feel comfortable. Very pleased with our experience and will definitely be reaching out again! Very accommodating service and excellent with high energy dogs!”
“From the moment we met Jane, we knew our fur baby was in the best hands. She sent pictures in the morning and in the evening took him on various doggy trips. He got walks multiple times a day, and always look content in his pictures. We feel grateful that we found such a great giver of love for our pooch. We recommend Jane highly for your pooches dog sitting needs!”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

I was a nervous parent this was the first time my baby girl had been with anyone but family. Brittany, her husband and children were wonderful. Loved on her and treated her like one of the family.

I highly recommend this wonderful family as sitter for you child or children dog or cat they will be well taken car of. Simply stellar
Abbigail took great care of our Coda on a last minute request. She made her feel comfortable with lots of padded bedding options, and made us feel comfortable through receiving photographs throughout her stay. She was also able to drive Coda to her regular sitters home while I was still traveling. Really a stress free stay.
Emily and her family were wonderful! Communication before and during our stay was excellent. We received multiple messages throughout the week along with pictures of our dog! Emily and her husband genuinely care about animals, highly recommend and will 1000% use her again for any pet sitting needs!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Independence on Rover is $33.3 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 725 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Independence. 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 Independence 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 Independence 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 Independence 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 Independence.
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 Independence 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 KY 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.
