“This was the first time boarding for my dogs and I was nervous about leaving my dogs with someone they didn’t know. Bridget was the best!! My dogs took to her immediately! She kept in touch with me while I was away and sent pictures of my fur babies. Bridget took excellent care of Rosie and Nick! They had a great experience and even made a new friend. I enjoyed my travels worry free. I highly recommend Bridget for your fur babies! Thank you, Bridget!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Independence
Naji is an incredible caretaker. She loves what she does and really cares for all the pups under her care. Her dogs were good to our Shyloh and Naji made sure to give him all the loves since this was our first experience with boarding. Naji reassured our family by sending wonderful videos of Shyloh and communicating with us anytime we needed. She was just so so wonderful and anytime we have to travel we hope she’s able to care for our Shyloh again. Thanks for everything Naji!
We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! Rogue was made to feel right at home, all of our routines and instructions were followed, and she was given plenty of love, cuddles, and attention. It was clear that they truly cared for her and treated her like family. We felt completely comfortable knowing Rogue was in such loving hands and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Anna was absolutely outstanding! She took such great care of my precious chihuahua, my SweetPea. Anna sent me pictures of SweetPea while I was on vacation for a week. She is a wonderful dog sitter, and I will definitely use her care taking skills again. I recommend her highly!
We are so thankful to have found Amanda C. to watch Sassy, the little doggy we love. Amanda gave Sassy lots of love, care, fun and and room to run. Amanda's cat and Sassy are now best friends! She sent pictures and videos that made us laugh. It was easy to relax and know that Sassy was receiving the highest quality of attention and care. If it had been up to Sassy, she would have stayed longer with her new-found friends! Thanks, Amanda! We'll see you again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Independence on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,072 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 MO 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.
