“Such an amazing experience! Our dogs loved being there they got a spa day! And a nice hike in they were definitely worn out when they got home which I loved coming back from a trip! Drop off and pick up was very easy. We absolutely will book them again.”
“Kelti & Tanner were amazing as usual! Zelda always loves getting to visit her favorite sitters. They love on her like she’s their own and take the best care of her while we’re away.”
“Words can not express how thankful I am for Amanda and the great care she took of my fur-baby. I was able to be at ease during my vacation knowing that Benny was in the best hands! She sent daily photos and updates, was super flexible and accommodating, and I could tell my playful pup was happy as can be!”
“I am very fortunate to have found Laura! Based on her "About" info and all the great reviews, I felt my dog would be well cared for. We had a great first meeting with Laura which solidified my decision to hire her. Drop off was easy because of our first meeting. She had excellent communication! She sent pictures, messages and responded promptly to any messages I initiated. When I picked up my dog, she(my dog)was happy to see me and my husband but not eager to leave. That’s a good sign to me that she felt safe and was happy there! I 100% recommend Laura and hope she's available next time I need her.”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
“Our puppy Onyx always has the best time with Meghan and her family! Meghan is kind and patient with our young pup and shares all the love and snuggles with him while we are away.”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets around, specifically dogs. Through my lifetime I’ve taken care of dogs with separation anxiety, older dogs, and very active dogs too. I believe that every dog has a special personality and they all deserve personalized care. So I will take in special care request that you know of, and also observe the dog so I care and play with it in the best way! I’m excited to work with you and your furry friends :) I have a pretty open schedule and availability! I can board on a Saturday night to Sunday morning, but I’m not available Sunday nights to Monday morning! I have a dog park in my apartment and share a dog with my sister so your furry friend will have some company. I also have some complement toys, treats, and a spare cage if needed!
“Jessica and her family were absolutely wonderful! I was so happy to see that Moose took over the sofa with her husband, the evening of Day #1. Jessica gave daily updates, and was very attentive, especially since my guy started vomiting. She called and was very concerned of why/how to remedy the situation. Jessica quickly adapted his food intake and kept me posted of his improvements. I'm happy to report that he was simply having so much fun with their girls and drank all kinds of water from the hose and sprinkler, that he ran himself ragged. Amazing family...would definitely recommend! We hope that she is available next year as well.❤️”
“John was attentive and responsive when I had a last-minute sitting request due a flight change! He took great care of our shy cat, encouraging her to get out of her carrier and sending us multiple photos. He was considerate about other pets in his home and made sure to check in on our cat often. I highly recommend working with him!”
“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!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“Allison and her family cared for our pup, Roscoe, like one of their own. She sent me pictures and updates through out his stay and he got along great with their kids and fur babies! We will be booking again in the future and would absolutely recommend her!”

“We love Amy! Our fur babies have the best time at her farm! From the large fenced play area to the long walks on her beautiful farm....nothing comes close to her loving care! Thank you for another great vacation!”
“Alycia went above and beyond when watching Murphy! She's an incredibly warm and lovely person who was extremely accommodating for my pet. I hope to have her watch Murphy again in the future!”

Andrea was great with my two dogs and really helped them feel at home. My velcro dog posed some challenges with sleeping on his own and she handled it like a champ making sure he was comfortable and given what he needed to manage his anxiety. I would 100% recommend her.
They were absolutely wonderful to my Luna ( dog) she sent daily pictures and updates and made me feel good about leaving my dog with people that actually enjoyed her as much as I do I will definitely use them again it’s such a relief to know that my dog was in good hands .
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. She had so much fun, loved her walks and bedtime stories. I was able to relax in vacation know she was in excellent hands. 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!
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.

There are 738 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Independence. About 93% 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
