“Emily always does a great job keeping our boy when we go out of town! She keeps us in the loop as to how he is doing, with daily updates and pictures. I definitely always have peace of mind when our boy is with her. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel was a great sitter for my dog when I went out of town. She provided constant communication and sent lots of pictures of my dog. I will gladly use her services again. Highly recommended!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Abbie did such an amazing job! Our dog means the world to us and she took great care of our boy! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for quality care for their fur kids.”
“Leeann was great! She sent us updates with pictures and took amazing care of our little pup. We were happy to know she had fun and met new doggy friends in the meantime.”

“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Jane and would absolutely book again. She took excellent care of my two dogs over for the week and was incredibly thoughtful, caring and communicative. I received updates each day with photos, which really put me at ease on vacation. Jane truly went above and beyond and am so happy with the extra special care she took for my pups. 10/10”
“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!!”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Absolutely fabulous, we had never left our dog before snd Matt and Jill made things extremely easy and nice with constant updates and pictures!! Highly recommend!!”
“Kelti and Tanner are absolutely amazing! My dog had such a wonderful time playing with their two dogs! I was super nervous using Rover at first but Kelti really put my mind at ease. I know they treated Abbey like she was their own and I can’t wait to book with Kelti and Tanner again in the future. I highly recommend them - way better than boarding at a kennel! Abbey received love, attention, and plenty of play time at their house!”
“Caitlin and her husband did a wonderful job with Martin when we left the country for 6 days. When Martin first arrived at Caitlin’s home he had no desire to stay, but Caitlin’s husband was very patient with him and even allowed him to interact with their dog to make Martin feel comfortable before we left. When we picked Martin up you could tell he had so much fun with his new friends, and was very comfortable with Caitlin and her home. Caitlin kept us updated on how Martin was doing and sent pictures, which we looked forward to seeing when we were away from him. We have had other dog sitters and quickly made the decision that our dog would not return to thier home, but that was not the case with Caitlin and her husband. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! They are top notch! We will definitely ask Caitlin and her husband to keep Martin in the future!”
“We had a great experience and will return for future boarding. Alycia was very accommodating to the needs of our senior dog. The frequent updates and open communication was helpful and reassuring.”
“Tasha and Joseph were absolutely wonderful and so friendly! They were very accommodating in regards to pickup and drop off times which was generous on their part. My dog, Henry, looked like he had a blast! They sent me pictures everyday updating me on Henry’s stay. Henry had so much fun playing with their dogs and going on walks. They even let him sleep with them at night. They really welcomed him in as if he was a member of their family. Next time I need a sitter, I will continue to ask Tasha and Joseph. ?”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Cori takes such great care of Mabel as always! They wear her out with lots of playtime with other pups. She sleeps for a couple days straight after staying with Cori and her family after a long weekend”

Deana and Gerald are such kind and warm individuals. They welcomed our dog into their home and provided wonderful care. We were nervous as this was our first time boarding with them but they put our minds at ease immediately. Our dog had a great time and we would love to board her again. Many sincere thanks!
Erin and her kids were incredible with our dog! She stayed at their home for a week and was treated like part of the family. Erin kept us updated with photos, and it was clear she was happy, loved, and having a great time with the kids. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with Erin again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Independence on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 731 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.
92% 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.
