“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Brandi! It was clear that Brandi truly loved Marley, and cared for her as if she were her own dog, which made us feel at ease while on vacation for a week. Brandi has deep knowledge about dog behavior. I was impressed by how well Marley listened to her after just their first meeting. She is an amazing communicator and sent photos and videos daily. Marley clearly bonded with both Brandi and Mike, enjoyed their daily adventures, and felt like a true member of the pack. We will definitely use their services in the future. I would highly recommend them!”

They enjoyed their stay, especially getting run around in the backyard. Mya was attentive and we would book with her again.”
“Since Griffin works from home he was able to provide our pup with the human company he is used to at home. This was important for me. Griffin’s little dog was happy to share space with ours. Easy access to play in the fenced in backyard was especially nice on sunny days. Willy was well-cared for during his stay in Griffin’s home.”
“The BEST family ever! From the moment we spoke I knew that our 8 month old puppy was in great hands. I received daily pictures and updates, which was so nice. I highly recommend this family to take care of your dogs!”

She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“It was great coming home after three weeks away (!) to find our Stella so happy and healthy-looking. She usually shows some signs of stress when I return home even after a few days, but I could tell she had a great time with Ramon and Dante and I will have no hesitation about leaving her with Ramon in the future. Thank you for your excellent care and communication!”

Pet 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!

There are 1,092 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.
