“Jason was patient and thoughtful with our elderly dog. He made the accommodations we needed to meet his special needs. I was glad he was there for our dog while we were out of town!”
“Katlyn did a wonderful job watching my dog. She was quick to respond to messages, sent lots of picture updates and it was evident she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”
“As always, Karin did an amazing job taking care of our dog Graycie. From daily pictures to even letting her crash a Thanksgiving family photo, she makes sure Graycie is taken care of and loved. We can’t thank you enough!”
“Alexandria was wonderful with Sophie. She clearly loves dogs. She gave Sophie lots of loving and sent pics daily. I will definitely be adding her to my list of favorites for watching my baby.”
“2nd time leaving my fur baby with Angela. Starting to feel like family. My Nacho had so much fun with her dogs and her grandchildren. He looked so at home. Angela will forever be my sitter of choice!!!!”
“Mariia was amazing and I felt worry-free knowing my dog Gary was in her hands. She is a great communicator and very caring, making sure Gary felt comfortable and helping him to settle into a new environment when he was feeling a bit anxious. She provided ample updates and pictures and I could see Gary was having a blast with her and was well cared for. Mariia treated Gary as if he was her own dog. Thank you Mariia - Gary had a wonderful stay with you and he can’t wait to go back.”
“After meeting Michael and Regina, I had no doubt they were going to take care of my girl just like they would their own pups! They were so sweet with my pup and we will be rebooking with them. My dog had such a great time running around with her new friends she slept the whole next day! They even gave us a gift for her, so sweet. Thanks for giving me peace of mind she was in good hands!”
“Best sitter experience ever! We left with some stress but it went away really fast with the first pictures of our dogs. They were all happy and playing, getting along with everyone, including our very unfriendly Chihuahua, I don’t know how but he warmed up to everyone and we got the cutest updates. We will rebook again next time services is needed! Recommended 1000%”
“Such a great experience! Angel took wonderful care of our shy and slightly neurotic dog. He had a great week with Angel and had fun meeting other dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures to put me at ease. We will definitely request Angel again!”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
“Lynn always goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for my 16 year old chihuahuas. She doesn’t just watch them, she loves and cares for them in a way that every pet lover dreams of when it comes to their animals. Along with daily pictures and messages, Lynn even gave us a framed picture of my two pups that I will forever cherish! Could not recommend enough- I even think my dogs were sad when I picked them up because their vacay at Lynn’s was over!”
“Leonardo was a wonderful host. He took excellent care of my Maltese, kept me informed by sending photos, and was very accommodating—welcoming my dog practically at the last minute.”
“Great experience! We needed someone to watch our Shih-poo for the weekend last minute and are also new in town. We felt comfortable very quickly leaving Rocco with such a nice family.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Independence on Rover is $66.43 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 855 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.
95% 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 OH 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.
