“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”
“Angel took great care of my nervous dog, Charlie! This is his second stay with her, and we will definitely use Angel’s services again. She is thoughtful and caring and communicative throughout the stay. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Wonderful duo who has the biggest hearts for fur babies and I certainly plan to have my pup visit again! They were very communicative. Sent frequent updates of beautiful photography level photos ! I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you guys ! Truly was amazing meeting you all and I can tell Elijah enjoyed himself thoroughly!”
“I never have to worry about my dog when she is with Kimberly. She’s great about sending pictures and videos so that I can see how my dog is doing. My dog has never looked stressed in any of the pictures at Kimberly’s, and that is unusual for my tender hearted dog! I will continue using Kimberly as long as she’s available!!”
About: I truly love animals, my favorite being dogs. i am with dogs every day all day.I have lots of experience with raising puppies and caring for dogs of many sizes and temperaments. I have owned snakes, lizards, turtles, fish;etc. so I also have experience with small animal care along with house sitting. Though I am not certified I train dogs for fun. (Basic obedience & tricks) I have even been told by a professional that I am really good at training dogs. I am a certified dog groomer. Some may say that I am a great bather and my grooms are neat. After working at an animal hospital for 2yrs I know a thing or two about pet care & what to do in an emergency so no worries your pets are completely safe in my care. Pet care is my life from the time that i wake up from the time i lay my head. i can do this in my sleep. (: in my home every dog is given the same amount of love. i do not have a fenced in yard however i take leash safety very seriously. we walk daily and i have never had a dog escape. i have tie out long enough to go where they'd like within the safe zone. we also have play time within my spacious finished basement that also has a fully stocked mini grooming salon on the opposite side. as far as drop ins in the clients home whatever care sheet you provide is what will be followed to the T.
“Brendan and Sarah were wonderful. They boarded Gracie with little notice, sent lots of photos, and Gracie had such a good time she didn’t want to leave.”
“Would definitely use Ramona again! Winnie enjoyed her "country club" stay! Came home exhausted!! Beautiful home and fenced area to run about. Thanks Ramona for accommodating us last minute!”
“Stacie and Doug took great care of Natty. They sent us a few pics and updates, and I could tell she felt right at home with their family and dog, Jane! We will definitely be booking again.”
“Another fun stay with Lynn 😁. Tobi had a blast with Lynn and the other doggies!! Warm weather finally and was out enjoying the sunshine ☀️, fresh air, fetch, playing with the dogs, etc. She really keeps him entertained and mentally stimulated. Oh and the snuggles he loves 💕 so much! Got to say he was good and well tired when I brought him back home 🤪 🐾😴”
“I left my dog Max with Leonard for a week while I was out of the country, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. Leonard did an amazing job he kept me updated with regular photos and messages, and Max was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he looked great and was in excellent spirit. I really appreciate the attention and care Leonard gave him, and I’ll definitely be using him for all my future boarding needs. Highly recommend!”
“Great experience! One of my dogs is very nervous around new people and Victoria was sure to let me know she was doing ok during the stay. She was able to accommodate my drop off and pick up times without any problem and sent several pictures during my dogs' stay. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again if I need a last minute sitter!”
“Oakley is a new rescue and I wasn’t familiar yet with his needs and limitations. Rachael was very knowledgeable and professional and knew exactly how to handle him by slowly introducing him to other dogs. She has a large backyard with different sections to accommodate Oakley when he’s not feeling too social. I highly recommend Rachael!”
“Archna kept our two large dogs for us while we were on a long weekend trip. She was wonderful - you can tell she really loves dogs. She was flexible with drop off/pickup times, and provided daily updates with photos. Our babies came home tired, and everyone knows a tired pup is a happy pup. We would definitely use her again next time we need them boarded.”
“Takia hosted my sheepadoodle during some late planned holiday travel. She was very accommodating as we feed a raw diet to my dog, and her communication and updates were great during my time away.”
“Susan and Kenny were so great with our 6 month old puppy. I was a little nervous about leaving him for the first time, but Susan kept me updated each day with photos and how he was doing. She made me feel at ease knowing he was having fun with them and playing with the other dogs. I don’t think he wanted to leave when he got picked up! I know that he was in a very loving home while I was out of town, and that’s everything I can ask for! Definitely recommend and will be staying with Susan again.”
“Lillian was so wonderful! She sent detailed reports and lots of photos. She took Rawlings on so many adventures and was very patient with his quirks. We will definitely work with Lillian again!”
“Yeh. She's a good one. She took on my puppy when I was in a pinch. He was brand new and she was a stranger. She sent pics and video to ease my mind. Elandra has a big heart. Loves and cares for her two and fourlegged family and friends. Forever grateful for her. God bless.”
“Carla and her family are incredible! I was in Cleveland for work and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter She was super helpful and understanding. She took my dog for walks every day, even though she barks at every cat or dog she sees when she’s on walks She sent me videos and updates without me having to even ask. I’ve never had a dog sitter before so I was kind of nervous about texting everyday because I didn’t want to be annoying, she willingly sent me updates and even offered to allow me to come visit when I miss her. I definitely recommend! Five stars”

Thank you again for taking such good care of Indy and Minnie. We love Dee. She is wonderful with our dogs, especially our senior guy who can be trying at times. They love to go to her house. She is very responsive and sends daily updates to us. She takes extra care and treats our pups like they are her own. We use her time and time again!
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!

There are 895 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Independence. About 94% 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 OH 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.
