“Michael was wonderful with Pep. Didn't know if she was aggressive/fearful of dogs (especially with me not being there) but Michael had a plan from day one and did things safely and professionally. Was well updated the entire time she was there, and she was certainly tired from all the playing she did while I was gone. Very easy recommendation from me, will use again.”
“Eliza provided a great environment for Bruno to enjoy. Daily pictures and comment are very assuring. She's been very accommodating to our needs and preferences. Great experience!”
“My pup had a great stay! I appreciate the flexibility of Kelti and Tanner with drop off and pick up. We received frequent photos and communication throughout the stay and our dog came home tired and happy. We even found a few princess stickers in his fur, so we know he was well loved by the tiny humans in the house as well :) it’s comforting to know your dog is in good hands while traveling and we will definitely consider rebooking in the future!”
“**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!”
“Glad we met Johangely! Highly recommend. We were provided regular updates and photo's each day, including videos. It soon became clear our pet was in a safe and comfortable place. Regular walks, feeding, and playtime! Our minds were at ease knowing all was ok while we were away. Thank you!”
“Metricia & her family for a joy to work with! Minnie loved her time & got plenty of walks, cuddles & treats! Metricia was very flexible when I had to drop her off one hour later and pick her up one hour later! I would totally book her again!”
About: I’ve always had a big passion for loving and caring for any and every kind of animal . I have experience with many dog breeds as well as different sizes and ages. I even work at doggy daycare! And I’m going for my dog training certification too, learning dog psychology and body language so I can read and care for your fur baby to the best of my ability. I’m open to help with other pets as well and will follow instructions to a T. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and that pays attention to details I’m your girl! If you need to check in I’m always a call away, I know how hard it is to leave your fur children and completely understand how they're important members of the family! Im currently working part time, so I have tons of time on my hands, I’m available from 3pm- 10pm for walks and drop ins. And available for in home boarding:) I’ve worked with many dogs and I know everyone has their own routine and preferences, leave me instructions and I’ll follow them to a T for your fur baby , it’s my main priority to keep them happy and healthy !!
“Milo stayed with Laura for the first time and it seems like he had a great time! She was great about sending updates on how Milo was doing and acclimating to his new environment. We know Milo has a safe, comfortable place to stay!”
“Madison took great care of my girl! She sent me daily updates and photos and responded promptly whenever I reached out. She treated her as if she were her own and I would definitely trust her to watch my baby again!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a college student and I don’t have many years of experience, but I’m looking to gain some. I’m probably the biggest pet person you’ll ever meet and I hope I can help you and your dog or cat. I currently am a college student and I don’t have a summer job or anything so I’m just looking for something to do on the side and keep me busy and something that will fit my schedule while also enjoying time with animals I have a fenced in yard with a boxer half lab who is very friendly with medium to small size dogs and does well with cats. I’m looking to make sure the owner is happy but even more to make sure their pet is happy.
“Our girls were running to get in to see her. I have left many reviews 5 star reviews and comments but, to me, seeing how happy my girls are speaks volumes!”
“Max had a great time with Amy! I would definitely recommend her and take him back there. It was like doggy camp for him! He got to go swimming and on a hike which are all the things he loves to do! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well taken care of.”
“My dog was welcomed graciously by Joe & Tasha into their home! I met Joe & Tasha prior to booking at the dog park where our dogs were able to meet and was immediately comfortable with them taking my dog for the long weekend. They were quick to respond with communications leading up to the weekend as well as updates throughout. My dog is a Siberian Husky with lots of energy and came home exhausted from all the fun!!”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”

Destiny did a great job with my kitty Lia, though on the third day it took an unexpected turn (not destiny’s fault in the slightest) my kitty is very skiddish even when I got her and that causes Lia to get into a hard to reach area where it took days for her to come out, thanks to destiny’s dedication and patience my kitty came out the day I was supposed to pick her up. She was well fed and got to socialize with other kitties, and I also got an update every morning and evening which was very nice, thank you destiny for such an amazing job with Lia.
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!

There are 752 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Independence. About 92% of Independence sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
