“Carine & her family took care of my Zeus, and I would definitely recommend. She sent updates, photos, and little videos at a regular basis to let me know how he was doing. He was happy & comfortable with them, and I would rebook. Thanks so much!”
“Jared + Tayler were wonderful! We had a last minute need for our pup and they were very responsive and accommodating. Great communication and comfortable home for a stay away from home.”
“Auggie had a great time with Logan and his new animal friends. I was very thankful to find someone with such a great background with animals on such short notice. She sent pictures and updates each day and Auggie still tells me how much he misses her. I would definitely recommend Logan and would love to be able to work with her again in the future.”
“Chico has stayed with many Rover sitters and Promise felt the most like a true dog lover. She sent pics and videos daily and communication was great! Chico was clearly loved, highly recommend!”
“Kyle was great! He has an awesome fenced in backyard for dogs like mine who have high energy and need room to run. My dog Marvel also needs a couple minutes to warm up to new dogs and Kyle handled introductions really well. He also helped administer some daily medication he needed without any hesitation on the special request. Marvel came home happy and tired from all of the playing with Coco and the other dogs there. Would book again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shreya. She boarded our dog for a full week and treated him like family. She was attentive, patient, and very communicative, sending frequent updates and photos. Our dog came back relaxed and happy, which says everything. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs. We will definitely use her services again and strongly recommend her.”
“As new pup parents, we were hesitant about leaving our 8-month old dog for the week, but Regina was so fantastic. Scout was well cared for and very much enjoyed her time in Regina's home. Regina set up a meet and greet so we could connect before our trip and Scout got to sniff around and get comfortable in her home. She catered her care and routine specifically to Scout's needs and we were so grateful for updates throughout Scout's stay; it gave us piece of mind knowing she was having a blast in Regina's care. We are looking forward to our next trip, knowing Scout will be in good hands with Regina. :)”
“Manami is by far our absolute favorite dog sitter! She is so great about making sure our pup gets plenty of play time followed up with snuggles. Our pup never seems uneasy when we drop her off and is super happy when we pick her up!”
“They are always awesome!!! I love that Lydia gets her own space and also lots of time outside running and playing with other dogs. They are very communicative as well and I love getting to peek in and say hi through a camera! Thank you!!! See you next month ❤️”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”
“Brenda & Alvin M. were great. We have always boarded Remy in the past but she seems to get very stressed. She likes a lot of attention and cuddles. We appreciated the pictures and updates daily. Remy seemed very comfortable with them. We would definitely use them again.”
“Derek and his family were wonderful caregivers for our dog Zoey for 10 days. Zoey came home happy and healthy and it was apparent she adores Derek! We are so grateful and will use Derek again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“Our dogs are polar opposites. A wise veteran 10 years old looking for his next source of food and a nap. And our Boji 9 months and mom stop energy. They both loved their stay and we could not be happier with the service. We will most certainly be back again.”
“Amanda and her family provided exactly care to my dog Moose! He came home super slumped from the weekend which means he had a fun time! Amanda provided me updates especially early on when he was getting used to the new environment and lots of pictures! Would definitely recommend her as your next Rover!!”
“Leza provided outstanding care and updates while we were traveling. Our dog was walked multiple times per day and enjoyed time outdoors with Leza and her family. I highly recommend Leza for dog care. She is a standout caregiver.”
“Maria was very accommodating and was great with my dog, she has a really friendly household. She gave me daily updates and pictures along the boarding period, I will definitely be booking her again whenever the needs arise”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Independence
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.

There are 2,398 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.

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 MN 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.
