“More than pleased with my dogs stay- Summer was able to accommodate for me last minute for my dog to board at her house for an ENTIRE WEEK. I could not ask for a better dog sitter; i felt at ease that my boy was in good hands. I was sent pictures and videos of Everest every day and she even asked questions when she was unsure about care instructions; this showed me Summer really cares and is genuinely there to ensure my dog always stayed safe and content at the same time :) She gave my sweet boy toys, treats, and allowed him on her couch and treated him like a KING!! She will be my go to dog sitter going forward.. THANK YOU, SUMMER…Everest was grinning ear to ear during pick up time! FIVE STARS across the board!!!!!!!”
“Stephanie was great with my boys! They came home clean and happy. She was very accommodating and communicative. I would recommend her and will definitely use 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!”
“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!”
“Jason gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for the weekend! Regular updates and photos of our dog and was super flexible when our pickup time was changed. I was so happy when I read that he volunteers at his local animal shelter because that really shows how much he cares for dogs & that he can handle all types of dogs!”
“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”
“Angela was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our dog! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely cares about animals. She was attentive, responsible, and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. Angela followed all of our instructions perfectly, including feeding instructions and walks. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Karin and her loving family provided such an excellent stay for my precious puppy, I was afraid that he wasn't going to want to come home! Their commitment to providing a safe home made me feel very comfortable leaving for my 10 day trip, and I enjoyed it even more seeing all the photos of my boy having such an enriching time! I will absolutely be booking with Karin again.”
“Takia was very responsive and kind! We received daily updates of our pups and we were able to see that they were being treated very well. We had a hiccup with their pills but it was handled professionally and quickly. We would definitely recommend her and book again with her 💗”
“We took our little dog to Mariia for the first time. She kept in touch to let us know how she was doing, and we were very happy with the way she cared for her. We will be using her again!”
“Riya is a phenomenal sitter, she has taken great care of my dog and is a wonderful communicator. I can travel stress free knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“This was the first time we have ever left our dogs with anyone. I must say Christine is the best especially when it comes to watching dogs but I can tell that she genially loves being around animals. Our Oldest dog Layla has always been around adults but loves kids within minutes. Christine was able to pet her and had her sitting right next to her on the couch. Layla was calm I worry about her the most so thank you Christine so much for being a amazing person and beautiful family it is very had to find people like that We also have two twin huskies puppies who we consider to be double trouble. They are about two months old and full of life. Christine's family took to them and made sure that they were loved. We are thankful for the willingness to accept our dogs into their home while we were away.”
“We are return customers of Alexandria’s. She always takes excellent care of our boys and they always come home so happy. We’ll definitely be booking with Alexandria again.”
“Excellent! Constantly received updates and photos of Frankie. The entire family was very nice and professional! Will definitely book with Swetha again! Thank you!”
“Such nice people! We knew our pup was in good hands from the moment we met them and saw how nice they were. Very welcoming and made sure to keep in us in the loop through photos and videos. Very communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Heather was so amazing with my dog! She is a true professional and an extremely nice person. Sent me updates, pictures, and showed a genuine care for my dog. Couldn’t recommend any more highly!”
“The only issue with boarding my girls with Lynn, is that my dogs seem to suffer from postpartum depression for a couple days following their stay. You cannot find a better, more caring, surrogate dog parent for your 4 legged kids. Lots of playtime with Summer (Lynn’s girl), homemade treats, toys galore, cuddles and snuggles at will,… I could on and on… (BTW, unlike Amazon’s reviews, you can take this one to the bank!). A&J send their love to you, Lynn, and keep asking me when sre leaving town again?🙄)”
“Lorie took great care of our senior dog who has lots of medical needs. She is warm and compassionate and clearly loves all of the doggies as her own. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. We felt like our dog was in better care with Lorie than when we have boarded him at the vet - and he was definitely more comfortable with a home environment. Thank you, Lorie!”
“I am from out of town and was on a 1.5 week long road trip. I needed someone to watch my dog for the weekend while I went to a wedding. I was worried about finding someone who would actually give her the attention she needs as I have a very highly active dog. Angel was great, she had a cage and bed my dog was able to use and had another dog to play with. She sent lots of pictures and stayed in contact / answered any questions I had. She was also super flexible with time pick ups changing and providing medication/keeping an eye on a cut for my pupp. Highly recommend Angel to keep your pets safe and you worry free!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Independence
Katlyn took care of my dog Tucker for one week, and he had a case of diarrhea during his stay. She took good care of him and woke up multiple times at night to take him outside to potty. She also drove to his veterinarian to pick up a medication and to Heinen’s for organic pumpkin to help with his upset tummy. I have used Katlyn before for dog walks and will definitely use her again because I trust that she will care for his wellbeing and make sure he is taken care of.
Jason was fantastic – it was clear when we first met him that he cares so much about animals! We lost our old sitter of 4 years, so we were worried about finding a new one. But Jason watched our pup for 9 days, and it was an amazing experience! He was always in communication, sent daily photos, and took such great care of our Jack Russel. Our little guy came home well rested (he had clearly had his own vacation staying with Jason)! We highly recommend him and will be using him in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Independence on Rover is $66.43 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 863 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.
