“This was our first time going through Rover, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Bridget was very responsive on first inquiry and offered to meet with me and Baxter prior to our 10 day vacation. When meeting with her, she asked questions about him, took notes and showed him the large back yard with deck and privacy fence. Throughout our vacation, Bridget sent pictures of Baxter resting indoors and playing outdoors which put us at ease to see how comfortable he was in his new surroundings so that we could enjoy our vacation and not worry. She had great communication with us throughout and even offered a later pick up if needed. I recommend Bridget and would go with her services again. Thanks so much for watching out furry child and leaving us worry free to enjoy an incredible vacation!”
“Taylor always takes the best care of our doggo! She's great with timeliness and communication. She's also wonderful with her updates/pictures during longer stays.”
“We appreciated the photos, videos & texts from Olga while Jojo was in her care. It was obvious our pup was having a fun time playing with other dog(s) & with Olga & her daughter.”
“My baby had an awesome time! Jacqueline‘s family with her Children is amazing on how they nurture the dogs! I love that they have a fenced in yard and they do not kennel which gave my baby a free spirit for two days that I was gone! Jacqueline was so amazing and keeping me updated with pictures and notes about my baby boy brownie Jacqueline will be my first choice if I need a sitter for brownie in the future!”
“The best dog sitter in KC! My dog Coco has the best time with Angelica and her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter who's friendly, accommodating, and an overall great experience. You can tell she really cares about you and your dog”
“We left our dog for a pretty long stay with Seth and she did great. We appreciated the updates and check-ins along the way. She came home healthy and appropriately tired!”
“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.”
“Absolutely ? % perfect. John, Rachel and the kids are warm and welcoming. They were perfect with our fur baby. I especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use them again.”
“Ben and Cassie are extremely kind. They were accommodating to us forgetting our dog food, updated us during Ivy’s stay and were very professional. We will be using them again in the future, overall a great experience.”
“Amanda did an excellent job! She sent updates twice a day with pictures and was very understanding with how dogs are in new environments. Nice big fenced in backyard and a very dog friendly environment.”
“Rhiannon and Rachel were fantastic with Lovie, they were very responsive when checking in and made sure she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend booking with them!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Griffin made the experience (from pre-booking to pick up) an absolute breeze - he made us feel so comfortable, put our mind's at ease, and had great communication. He proactively sent frequent video, photo, and text updates of our puppy and was very responsive when we checked in! I love that he has a dog of his own and they both became fast friends. We will 100% rebook with Griffin and will recommend him to anyone needing services!”
“This was the first time using Tasha. It was a family emergency so there was no time for a meet & greet. This is a dog friendly home. The other dogs there were Gus’ size & he felt immediately safe. I so appreciate that I was able to go out of town with my husband & not stay back with the dog. I would definitely use her again.”
“This family is amazing. I couldn't be happier with the care, love, and attention they showered on Sasha. Great communication, obvious experience with dogs, and super friendly. Thanks for a great stay!!”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. 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.”
“Crissy was great with our Winnie. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the weekend to show she was comfortable and happy! She was incredibly easy to work with and made everything seamless. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Merley took amazing care of our dog. She played with him, took him to the dog park, bathed and groomed him for us!! She sent numerous videos and truly cared. Couldn’t have been happier!!”
“Booking with Mackenzie was a breeze from start to finish-even with issues on my end with flights/pick up, she was great! I appreciated knowing our dogs were ok for an entire week with someone new and came home happy. Thank you and we will definitely be using/recommending you for future needs!”

Really wonderful sitter! Our elderly dog was well taken care of, and I got a lot of great updates. Our Ainsley is historically stressed when away from home, but she was comfortable enough to rest, eat, and learn how to use the doggy-door on her own! Definitely a rebook if/when we have to leave our girl again.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Independence on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
