“Apryl kept me updated with lots of pictures throughout my dog’s visit. She even took my dog for a hike! My dog was welcomed by Apryl’s entire family and I’m so thankful to have found her! Will definitely use again!”
About: I’ve had three dogs of my own over the years, so I know firsthand that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, cuddly and calm, or a little shy at first. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to their routines, love giving plenty of playtime and affection, and will treat your pup with the same care I would give my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog is getting both loving attention and dependable care while you’re away. Would love if dog(s) are getting treated regularly for fleas/ticks especially if coming into my home. I currently stay at home all day during the week so I would be able to give full attention to your pets needs. If they’re staying over the weekend I would accommodate my plans to be home while they’re in my care. Your pet(s) would have free range in my first floor apartment townhouse. There is a communal dog park that is walking distance I would take them to only if no one else was there. We have a private community that I would take them on walks throughout the day.
About: Hi, I have had Pets all my life and can’t remember a day without them. I have 1 cat & 2 dogs. My dogs are getting older and can’t go on too many walks a week. So, I would love to add some more walking buddies to my life & your four legged friends would be perfect for the task! Animals have always had a special place in my ❤️ & I would love to help you with yours! I have never met a dog who didn’t melt my heart. Please contact me if I can be of assistance to you! I am available most days. Please contact me if you are looking for a dog walker. Have a great day! Thanks so much! 🐶🐶❤️🐶🐶
“My dogs, Ozzie & Elvie, were well taken care of and spoiled by Julie & her son. They also enjoyed hanging out with their dog, Abby and being outside taking walks. Julie was great with updates and photos every day. We will definitely be back!”
“We are so happy we found Sarah and Tobi. Our little Nicolás was so happy with them and quickly adjusted to his stay. Sarah was extremely helpful, understanding and responsible. She treated our baby as if it was hers. Highly recommended! We will book another stay with her for sure! Thank you Sarah!! The Ocasio Wagner Family.”
“Our travel plans changed last minute and Marcie was amazing about it! She kept our dog an extra day no problems! Sent me pics everyday like our dog was part of the family! Amazing!”
“This was the first time I used a Rover sitter and I couldn’t be more happier! Kyle was amazing!! He sent me pictures and kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going. He gave my dog constant attention and took him for walks. I truly think my dog misses him, which makes me very happy cause I know he was well taken care of by Kyle!!”
“I can't thank Shirley enough for the incredible care she provided for Mocha this weekend. Shirley not only gave Mocha a free relaxing bath, but she also spoiled her with treats and took her on plenty of walks. Mocha was so happy and well taken care of! Shirley kept me updated throughout the entire weekend, which really put my mind at ease. The effort and love she put into looking after Mocha were truly beyond what I expected. I highly recommend Shirley, and I’ll definitely be bringing Mocha back to her next time!”
“Robert watched Mia at his house overnight for a few nights. He has a great fenced in backyard, perfect for our pup to run and stretch her legs. Mia came back happy and tired out from her running vacation ? We would definitely use Robert again!”
About: Offering walks around the neighborhood, potty breaks and hikes! Have been training, competing, exercising and hiking my pups for 20+ years. Both my pups are avid hikers and would you love to offer other pups the experience. All local trails - on leash - will send pics of your pups big day out! Is a hike on your pups bucketlist? We can make that happen. Hike length can be varied based on pup age and their fitness level. Can take well behaved pups siblings together and with groups of other pups if you are looking for play friends! I can walk dogs early in the morning and in the evenings during the week. I am flexible with schedules and walks/hikes on the weekends. I can care for your pet based on your specific needs and instructions. We can tailor services to the personality and needs of your pets

“Marcus was great with Muffin. I got periodic updates with pictures which was comforting. This was Muffin’s first time at Marcus’ and I have already rebooked. Thanks Marcus.”
“Julien was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly helpful and accommodating, even with my last-minute request. He took Biggie for a great walk and made sure he was well cared for during the stay. Biggie came back happy and tired — always a good sign! I would definitely recommend Julien to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and attentive. Thank you so much!”
“Cordelia is hands down the best dog sitter. She is so flexible and understanding and also updates us all the time with the most adorable pictures! She definitely takes great care of my dogs and they love visiting her!”
“I recently relocated to NC and after having a great Rover family where I came from, it was important to find a new Rover home where I felt my best buddy, Ollie was happy. After one visit, I think I found one! OllIe loves to play with other dogs and Austin expressed how happy Ollie appeared playing chase at Austin’s home with his dogs. Since Ollie got home, he’s been himself, but slept most of the day his first day home. Clearly he was tired! Thanks Austin.”
“Amanda and her family (humans and canines!) took great care of Jazz, allowing me to visit my son! I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a warm environment for their dog!”

If I could give Katlyn 10 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving my Izzi behind while traveling for work isn’t easy, but Katlyn gave me something truly priceless, peace of mind. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing Izzi was in such loving, capable hands. It’s one thing to have someone watch your dog, but it’s something entirely different to find someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if she were their own. That’s the kind of care Katlyn provides. I never had to worry, and that feeling alone meant the world to me. When someone is entrusted with a little piece of your heart, you hope they’ll understand just how much that responsibility means. Katlyn absolutely does. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is truly a gem, and Izzi and I are so lucky to have found her!

There are 854 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
