“Jennifer is great with my girl, Rowan! Rowan is always comfortable in Jennifer's care and always happy to go back again. We're very grateful for the excellent care Jennifer takes of Rowan when we are away.”
“Dave and Daniel were wonderful with our Pomeranian Skyla. She’s animated and spirited, some might say a strong personality. She often, perhaps too often, wants her own way, but apparently Dave and Daniel were able to deal with this, and all parties seemed to have a great experience. What we do know for sure is that our little girl came home healthy and happy. What more can you ask for? We couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely be bringing her back to her home away from home.”
“Our dog Prim had a great time visiting Jade's again! Jade offers just the right combination of spacious environment, doggie friends to play with, and relaxed and flexible bedtime arrangements. Prim is able to make herself right at home here. Jade is also always very responsive and attentive, and we appreciate the regular updates and photos throughout her stay - thanks again Jade!”
“Shelby is fantastic! Our furbaby was well loved and cared for during his overnight stay. Great communication and photos to share updates. We will reach out to book again in the futur. Thank you, Shelby!”
“We were nervous to leave our cat with someone else for the first time, then we met Zuri we felt confident that Margot would do just fine! Drop off went great. The communication was impeccable. She sent us pics and kept us in the loop at all times. She was flexible and understanding with our schedule changing. Zuri is an amazing pet sitter! We were so pleased.”
“Danielle was wonderful and took great care of our girl! She was communicative and reliable, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Diana cared for our 16 yr dog for a week. She is an excellent communicator and professional. Her home has plenty of outdoor space for him to roam free. She sent regular updates and pictures. She also is a groomer. Our pup is afraid of anyone who tries to groom him and hates water. Despite these obstacles she managed to give him a nice trim. I highly recommend Diana and will certainly hire her again!”
“Gayle is great. Her whole setup (house, yard, other pet guest, her own dog) works perfectly for my dog. It’s more like he is on his own vacation than just being boarded. Would absolutely use her again.”
“Gemma took great care of Kelli during her stay. Kelli had an overnight with Gemma prior to this longer stay and was excited to go back in the house. Being an older dog she does have a few extra needs but these were all met and she was in great shape when I picked her up.”
“I was apprehensive leaving our 5 year old Vizsla anywhere. Philly took him for a walk to bond. He sent lots of texts and pictures. He was able to accommodate drop off and pick up times as we changed both times. He let him on the furniture and sat in a chair just like at home. He understands a high energy dog with lots of walks and ball play. He works from home so Odie was never alone. Such a relief to know he was in good hands. . We will definitely use Philly again.”
“Tracy provided incredible care for Mino for a week while I was away. She sent me a photo update once a day, which was especially reassuring while Mino was adjusting to her space during the first few days. Mino also has trauma from his life before rescue, and Tracy has ample experience in this area. When I picked up Mino, he was happy, rested, and he even came near my car for a minute. A truly positive experience for my dog.”
“Hailey was wonderful. She and her family took great care of our pup while we were away and updated us frequently with daily activities and photos. From the meet and greet to the pickup it was obvious he was in good hands and got all the love and attention he deserves! She was attentive, kind and respectful, plus her dog was friendly and a great playmate for our dog. Highly recommend Hailey, we hope to board with her again!”
“My boys (older doodle and younger dachshund mix) were excited to meet Larissa and I was grateful to see that they settled in quickly. They stayed for 2 days and now I know I have somewhere that they will be safe and taken care of when I’ve got to be away. I received updates that included both pictures and actual descriptions of how things were going with them. If you are looking for a safe, loving, family experience for your fur baby, Larissa is my number one recommendation!”
“I was nervous leaving my boy since he’s never been away from home. Tianna was so kind and caring of Max. Sent me pictures and videos, updates throughout the day. Definitely will book again.”
“Our best friend, Calamity Jane, had a wonderful time with Tania. This is the longest time apart for us and Tania texted daily and sent pics and vids showing our furry pal having fun and looking happy. We're delighted with Tania, will be return customers and can recommend unconditionally.”
“Daisy had a great stay! She looked happy in all of the update pictures. She handled her medications for me and her special food needs. Daisy was calm and happy on the way home after her stay. Will definitely use her again.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Independence
Jennifer is the best sitter we've found! We had back to back trips totaling 12 days and originally scheduled to have our dog boarded with another sitter for the first 7 days but when that sitter stood us up, Jennifer came to the rescue and graciously accepted to board our poodle for the full 12 days when the original booking with her was for 5. We appreciate you from the bottom of our heart! Thank you for being so kind! Danny enjoyed his time with you and your family!!
Jennifer was absolutely FANTASTIC! If there were 10 stars to give I certainly would. The entire experience was wonderful from the initial contact, to the meet and greet with my two pups, to the drop off not to mention all the pictures and video updates. My two guys had never stayed away from home and I was a bit nervous at first to leave them somewhere, but Jennifer put the little guys right at ease! I would definitely recommend Jennifer! She is amazing!
My corgi, Juni, had a good time at Jennifer's house. Jennifer is very sweet to work with and genuinely enjoys having the dogs. She took good care of Juni who seemed very comfortable there and even slept well. I am so grateful to find somebody I can rely on and who is willing to be flexable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Independence on Rover is $48.84 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 251 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 OR 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.
