“Great boarding experience! We use Yuliya for daycare and very happy. Toby needed boarding for a week and he loved being there. Lots of pictures and he loved playing in the yard and hanging out with his friends”
“Sophia was very flexible and sent us many pictures which we could tell our dog was very happy there! Will definitely use her services again and would recommend to others.”
“We had never left our dog for more than a day or two and we were very nervous since we were going on a long trip. We did a meet and greet with Dayjah before the stay and she answered all of our questions and put our minds at ease. We were very comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sent many pictures everyday and kept us updated on how he was doing. Will definitely book again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Beth & Evan did a great job. This is the first time that Rio seemed to be relaxed at a sitter’s. They knew and understood the Crazy Cattle Dog thing. I will be using them again. Thank you Beth & Evan!”
“The entire experience with Regina (and her family) was as if I'd left my beloved Rocket at my dog-loving sister's home! There was an immediate trust bond between Regina, myself, and Rocket -- as if Rocket knew she was "home." Regina's affection and comfort with animals (including the very HIGH energy type like my Rocket) was evident from the start, and she graciously extended a welcome to me as well, walking me around the property and showing me the places where Rocket would be staying. I left with the greatest confidence that my girl was in a good place. Rover Support and Expectations: I received photo and video updates. Any communication from me was answered within minutes of my sending. Unexpected changes to my itinerary were received and graciously accommodated, and Regina maintained a flexible and fluid disposition with regard to scheduling, which allowed me to make on-the-fly adjustments to my day plans for cycling and adventuring. The price for the service Regina provides is more than fair. I highly (highly!) recommend her service, even knowing it will be that much harder for me to book my own time with Regina again in the future. I'll deal with that -- Regina is the sitter to choose!”
“Thank you for watching Will again! It’s always good to see him happy to arrive and he comes home tired. We appreciate your updates and photos while we were away! See you again this summer!”
“My dogs have stayed at Kait's so many times, she is their "Auntie Kait"! They're always very happy staying with her. It's great to know they're safe while I'm out of town, and Kait takes excellent care of them. She is extremely committed to animal care and safety, and Kait is always very flexible about pickup/dropoff times too.”
“Ramanda and her family were wonderful caregivers to our senior dog! She took the time to really understand his feeding schedule, needs, and routine. It was clear from the her updates and photos that he received lots of love and attention during his stay at their home.”
“Was very open with communication and accommodating. I hope to be able to use her again in the near future. I was very nervous of the stay but she was welcoming and filled with warmth that eased me.”
“I would definitely recommend Terrie, she is patient, kind, soft spoken and very tolerant of my very (I think) high maintenance little Meiko. She sent pictures and text to update on his stay while I was away. It was a problem for her when my flight was delay a bit and I had to come home through rush hour......patient kind and very tolant. The world needs more Terrie’s”
“Leza was absolutely incredible caring for my dog. We were given frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and our dog always looked relaxed and happy. I would whole heartedly recommend Leza as a great pet sitter.”
“Kay and family was definitely a godsend in my last minute attempt to find care for my dog, Henry. Daily updates with pictures and videos and great communication helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog has special needs in the center where he has attachment issues and there was always somebody home at Kay‘s house to be with Henry and her family is just as calming and sweet as what you would picture from her description and photos. Not only a great dog sitter but an amazing human being in life! Can’t thank you all enough!”
“Katie was great with Rudy! She gave him plenty of attention, went on many walks, and sent us several pictures throughout the week. I was confident Rudy was in wonderful hands while we were gone!”
“Bruce was awesome! The dogs seemed to love it at his house. Great backyard, and lots of outside time. He was responsive and sent me pictures of our dogs during their stay. We will definitely use Bruce again. Our dogs came home happy and well taken care of.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Independence
Our dogs were well taken care of. I loved the pictures that were sent and it showed them enjoying their stay. Tracy took good care to treat the dogs for who they were and their different life styles. Our oldest needed her spot to sleep and they accommodated her. Our youngest got his playtime. He came home exhausted and happy. Will use again!
Coco has stayed with Kj several times. As is typical, she had a great time over the 4th of July holiday. It is worth mentioning that coco is afraid of fireworks, & this was the first time that we left her with a sitter on the 4th. It is a strong statement about the trust we have in Kj.

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.
95% 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 MN 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.
