“Sara was great! Our pup got a stomach bug when he was with her and she had to deal with a lot, but took it in stride and made sure he was taken care of. She communicated well through the entire process, took great care of our pup, took him for walks, and let him snuggle up.”
“This was our first time using this service, and I am so glad I found Taylor! We were very hesitant with the idea of leaving our dog with a stranger, but Taylor's reviews and her prompt answers to my numerous questions, we were quickly put us at ease. We received daily updates and pictures, and it was obvious to us that Moose was having the best time and was well cared for. Before we picked him up, I had already reached out to Taylor to rebook with her for an upcoming trip!”
“Stephanie was able to watch our 10 year old Daniff on short notice, and he had the absolute best time!! He made so many new friends, but Stephanie was also great at giving him his old-man alone time! She sent lots of pictures and updates, and we will absolutely be using her again!”
“Susan and her family were awesome! They let me book last minute and were flexible with us. Lots of pictures and they even took her to the dog park. I knew Penny was well cared for and worn out when she got home. Thanks Susan!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”
“We were in town for the Chiefs home opener and needed to board our 10 lb. pup for the night. Of course we wanted her to be in good hands. Right from the start Deanna was great with Canela. She got down to her level to say hello, touching noses with her! They gave her lots of attention and let us know later that evening she was doing well. Deanna even picked her up and dropped her off at our hotel. Highly recommend!!”
“Wow wow! I am so happy I booked with Alyssa and her beautiful family. She knows dogs and helped my big dog through thunderstorms and my little dog’s general fear of people (rescue). She sent pics and updates all the time, which I appreciated. Excellent for boarding.”
“I am extremely satisfied with the care that was provided for my dog by Kristy, and I know Bruno had an excellent time when he stayed with her over the weekend. Her and her kids were so great with him, and he was totally worn out when he got home. Not only that, but he played in the mud over his stay and they gave him a bath and got him all cleaned up, going way above and beyond my expectations. Kristy sent me pictures of my dog all weekend, so I knew he was in great hands, and having fun. I would definitely recommend Kristy if you're looking for an awesome petsitter!”
“Christine takes great care of my 2 dogs every time. When they stay with her, they get to hang out with her kids and dogs so it's a mini vacation for them. I trust her to make sure they get fed and get to spend plenty of time outside, so it's money well spent!”
“My shy fearful dog who is afraid of her shadow was shivering in the back seat until Ashley started talking to her and she jumped right out. I couldn't have been happier. She's our dog whisperer now! We will be booking again soon!”
“Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Andi made my Stevie girl feel so at home. She messaged me with photos and videos throughout her stay and made our first experience with Rover a great one! We will be using Stevie’s second bestie in the future and highly recommend her to anyone that may be a little anxious leaving their baby behind. Thank you Andi for the fantastic experience 🫶🏼”
“Awesome job of boarding our sweet dog for a week while we were gone! Jessica is very quickly responsive and maintained great contact with us while we were away. We'll definitely be using her again.”
“Lucy was incredible with Alfie! He came home so happy and wonderfully tired out from his stay. She kept us updated with regular check-ins throughout the trip, which gave us complete peace of mind. To top it off, she was extremely understanding and flexible when our travel plans were disrupted by flight delays. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter—we highly recommend Lucy and will definitely be booking with her again”
“Laurie was incredible! She took such great care of Roo and really took the time to get to know his needs (he’s a senior dog) and play with him. Roo has pretty bad anxiety, and was comfortable and at home with Laurie.”
“Cali's stay with Maddie could not have gone more perfectly. Maddie could not have been nicer, sent pictures and communicated every day, and has an absolutely ideal setup with her yard in a cute neighborhood.”

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.
93% of Kansas City 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 Kansas City 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 Kansas City 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 Kansas City.
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 Kansas City 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 KS 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.
