“My pets had never been left with anyone outside of my family before, so I was nervous about where to take them when I had to leave for an unexpected trip. Lauren did an incredible job in helping them get settled in and comfortable right off the bat. She has expert knowledge in caring for dogs and demonstrates high levels of skill and professionalism. I was able to leave town knowing that my dogs were in the best of care, and was sent photos and updates on how they were adjusting while I was away. I highly recommend Lauren for providing exceptional care of furry companions!”
“Five stars are not enough! We have 2 labs. One is only 6 months old, but just as big as our 6 year old. Jenson was absolutely awesome!!!! Our dogs were treated like family, loved, and pampered. We loved receiving updates and pictures. Best decision we could have made for our dogs! ❤️”
“Teigan was amazing! My dog Blue can be a little anxious sometimes but she warmed right up to Teigan. She sent such cute pictures and videos and I appreciated that so much!!! Blue had a great time and I could tell when I picked her up that she loved her stay with Teigan. I’ll 100% be asking her to dog sit again ?”
“Stephen was amazing with our grandpups. They were super happy to see him after the meet & greet. Our babies are can be shy and not accept people quickly. They both took right away. Will definitely book with them again 😀”
“My pup is a senior dog with limited vision and hearing. Stephanie was great with Daizie in helping her adjust to a new environment. She kept me posted throughout the weekend on how my “ole” lady was doing. Will definitely book with her again.”
“I am so appreciative of Crystal and her family! They went above and beyond to care for my whiny little dachshund with anxiety. He is an intense little guy who needs regular company. I received updates and pictures and he seemed so genuinely loved, well-cared for, and spoiled. I will absolutely book another sitting with Crystal when I need someone to watch him.”
“She was wonderful! We had to book our Pitt to stay with her over the week and she sent us photos while we were away of updated on our boy. He was picked up and dropped off super easily and professional! She was very accommodating to the late notice as well!”
“Christopher was fantastic to work with. He was responsive and made me feel at ease. You could tell from the start that he is a pet lover and I felt confident Wily would be well taken care of. I will definitely be using Christopher again!”
“Gus came home exhausted! He came home just as he was dropped off. Her kids hugged on Gus before we left which can only make me think they loved on him and treated him as their own. This was our first use of Rover and we will more than likely use it again. Gus hasn’t ever really been around other dogs and she allowed him to adjust and said he did great with them. Highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“Donovan was very accommodating and understanding with our pit bull! His place was very clean and seemed like a safe place for our boy. We were even running behind on our pickup time and he was very understanding and flexible. As well as sending us photo updates. Will be using him again in the future :)”
“Nina was amazing. Tucker had a lot of fun with her. I’m sure he enjoyed a lot playing with her big and sweet dogs. She sent me pictures and was very responsive. And besides that he got home worn out, meaning that he burned a lot of his energy.”
“Samantha was THE BEST sitter I've ever had! I could tell in the daily pictures she sent of my dog that she was so happy and well cared for! I will definitely use Samantha in the future! Thank you again!”
“Layne watched my Tyler (cat) for several evenings and provided daily pictures/updates on how he was doing!! She was friendly and professional and made the entire process very easy. Glad Tyler had a good place to stay!!! I would definitely recommend.”
“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Joplin is $30
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Joplin
We want to keep Donavon available for only us, so don't like leaving a good review...that's all you need to know. He housed our elderly, 5lb, blind Yorkie for a 9-day stretch while we were on vacation...her first time being with someone else since she lost her sight. It went far better than we hoped, he kept us in loop with periodic updates. 100% will be our first option in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Joplin on Rover is $35.52 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 47 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Joplin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Joplin 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 Joplin.
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 Joplin 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 MO 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.
