“Jennifer was excellent at watching my german sheperd dog for a few days while I was out of state! She sent pictures and gave consistent updates on how my dog was doing. My dog, Ellie, had a great time and was right at home!”
“Our experience with Zuri was wonderful from start to finish. She was able to take our two dogs on short notice for a few days. She was incredibly accommodating to the needs and energy levels of our 8 year old malipoo and 1 year old boston terrier. She was able to provide medication for our maltipoo. Zuri was very flexible with pick up and drop off times which made leaving and returning from our trip a breeze. She kept us up to date with adorable pictures and videos of our dogs enjoying extra love, cuddles, and play time. Both dogs felt right at home cuddled up on the couch. Our boston terrier especially loved her dog Bonnie and her daughter. She and her daughter provided a safe and loving home for our babies while we were away! I would highly recommend Zuri if you ever need a dog sitter during the day or overnight”
“My dog Benji absolutely loves visiting Ms. Jade and making friends. He’s usually timid and shy around people but warmed up to her fast! We love her and appreciate all she does <3”
“Danielle really came through for me at the last minute, I'm so grateful! She was very kind and attentive with my dog, Esther, sending adorable pics and updates. Esther is an anxious girl, but she seemed to relax in Danielle's home, it really put me at ease. Thank you again!”
“Ashely was amazing with Nalu! He stayed with her for 9 days and when I picked him up he was sad to leave! He had a hot spot that needed to be treated with medication and she was good with applying the medicine and it was pretty much healed by the time I picked him up. She gave me updates with pictures and videos throughout his stay too! We’ll definitely be asking her to watch Nalu again!”
“This was our first stay with Diana and we couldn’t be more pleased! Communication was great from the meet and greet through every step in the process. Diana sent wonderful pictures and videos during the week and our dog had a great time playing with the other “guests.” She was also patient with our dog’s quirks, which is always comforting. Diana was so considerate and diligent about making sure Ellie was safe and happy. We definitely recommend Diana and will definitely request her services again!”
“Julie and her family provided a warm and welcoming household for my dog Dewey. The love for dogs is evident when you meet her and her family, and I was very happy with my decision to leave Dewey with her! She is responsive and clearly has a way with animals. I would definitely use her again or recommend her to friends and family”
“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!”
“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!”
“Tawna & John have such a neat space for dogs to wander, socialize and play. Our boy is wore out! But they were also very attentive to his special needs. They helped us out with a last-minute request which we greatly appreciated!”
“Whitney was warm and welcoming, and Zoey loved her and her dogs!! Whitney communicated with me and sent me pictures of Zoey during her stay which gave me peace of mind! I will use Whitney 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.”
“Joseph was an excellent dog sitter and took the best care of our 2 goldendoodles for nearly 3 weeks. Our senior dog has a hard time with traditional walks and Joseph’s place was perfect for him. He could walk around, sniff and play in a huge enclosed yard- just what he needed. We appreciated the photos and updates. We will definitely use his services in the future!”
“Madison took great care of Zeus and sent us fun photo updates frequently. She was very accommodating, communicative and flexible and we look forward to having her watch Zeus again during our next trip. Highly recommended!”
“Hailey and her family were wonderful with our dog, Porter. He does much better in a home environment and they treated him like part of the family. 😀 We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“This was my first time using Rover or boarding my dog, so I was quite nervous. Miriam is great! My dog loved her and it is obvious she cares greatly about dogs. She communicates quickly and is easy to work with. Next time I go out of town, I will book my dog with Miriam!”

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Independence on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 249 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.
