“Many thanks to John, Rachel and their sweet family! Millie had the absolute best time and they treated her like one of their own. Their fenced in backyard and dog Hunter made for plenty of playtime and she received lots of love!”
“Shawn was great to work with! He sent pics and I know our dog had a fun time staying over. He has a great fenced in yard and I can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs. We would definitely book with him again.”
“Angelica was great to work with. We had a pre-meeting at her home to introduce my dog to her pets. She made sure her pets were secure when we arrived for drop off and gave my dog time to settle in. She sent regular updates and pics. She even sent us home with a clean dog pen. Will definitely use Angelica again and recommend her highly!”
“Noreen and her family have worked so hard to make my beagle mix dog comfortable during his stays with them. She is very gentle and creative in getting my dog to feel at home. I have noticed how much calmer he is when we drop him off at her home. Thank you Noreen!”
“We left our dog Friday with Crissy and family for a week while on vacation and had total trust that she was in good hands and enjoying herself in their company. I would absolutely consider leaving her with Crissy again should the need arise.”
“Our dog had a great time while we were away! She was well taken care of and we received pictures each day of her enjoying the children and household. We will book again with Chloe.”
“Great experience. We left two dogs overnight. We had an emergency out of state and needed to leave our two dog overnight and most of the next day. Nathen was very accommodating with the last minute request. Our girls had never been left before, but Nathen provided updates and picture to help ease my anxiety, in an already stressful situation. The girls were happy and taken care of. Will recommend Nathen to friends. If needed will use him again.”
“Very thoughtful in getting to know Milo before he went to stay the night! I felt very good about leaving Milo with Susan and her family. I could tell they made him very comfortable!”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Tasha kept our two dogs for a week, while we were away on our honeymoon! We got multiple pictures of each dog, everyday as well as how they were doing. Would definitely recommend Tasha for your dogs sitter!”
“Griffin sent so many pictures and videos, it helped us be able to relax on vacation knowing our lil guy was in good hands. Communication was excellent and his little puppy was super friendly. Would definitely recommend!”
“This was by far my best Rover experience! My pup did boarding for 2-weeks over the holidays so was a bit nervous because of the length of time. Cassie and Ben were great, treating my pup with love, sharing pics daily, walks, and more. Will definitely use again!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. One of my hobbies is German Shepard rescue. I have experience in training puppies and working with senior dogs. I work from home; however, I have a flexible schedule. I am available throughout the lunch period for rest breaks, and walking. I have availability Monday -Sunday. I am currently unable to stay overnight when house sitting, however I am able to offer boarding in my home. My fur babies are treated like one of my children. They are a member of the family, and know how dearly they are loved and cherished.
“Rhiannon was absolutely wonderful with Eloise, especially given it was a long stay on short notice. We so appreciated her care so we could travel knowing our sweet, high-energy girl was in great hands.”
“Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.”
“It helps us so so much that MacKenzie has the pick up/drop off option! The dogs came home happy and clean! She always has the best interest of our girls at heart. She didn’t want them to be home alone so she waited until we came home from our trip before bringing them by even though we had the dog door open at the back door for her to be able to drop them off in the backyard. She brought them by even though it ended up being late! She is so accommodating! This was our 3rd time and we will definitely continue to be customers!”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”

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!

There are 1,112 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.
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 MO 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.
