About: I grew up on a family farm in Iowa, raising beef cattle, chickens, dogs, cats, horses and the occasional raccoon! I have experience from bottlefeeding newborn baby animals up to senior pets. My schedule varies weekly. I am a professional photographer that works on site and from home. My “home work” location is flexible as long as I have Wi-Fi! I can be fairly flexible with times as well as staying with your pet. For pets in my home, I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and there’s a river trail nearby for longer walks along with a pet area at my complex. I have previously stayed at and checked daily friends, family, and clients homes while they’re out of town/at work to care for their pets as well as farm animals. I have a wide array of experience working with different animals from regular in-home pets to many farm animals with feeding, walking, and giving medication if needed.

“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”


“This was our first time using Rover. We met Crissy and Matt before the stay which helped answer questions and alleviate anxiety. They sent pictures throughout the stay, and I felt like I didn't have to worry so much about my dog and cat since this is a job they do all the time! We would definitely choose Crissy and Matt again in the future as our sitters!”

“Jessica was great! She took such good care of our dog and sent us regular updates. He seemed to enjoy time with other dogs and with the family and she was quick to respond to any communication.”

“Erin and her family were absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie, Roxy. Erin kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, and it was clear that Roxy felt right at home. She came home happy, relaxed and clearly cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such a kind and responsible sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin again. Highly recommend!”

“She was great with our dog Papa. He doesn't really play with toys, but she found ways to keep him occupied and happy. She kept us updated with pictures. So glad we found her as opposed to boarding.”

“This was my first time using Kasey and I could not be happier doing so! Kasey's attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond taking care of my senior puppy provided this very anxious pet parent the reassurance that he was in the best hands for his care! Kasey does an amazing job with keeping you up to date with pictures and videos so you can rest assure that everything is going well!”

“Our dog, Biscuit had a wonderful time with Madilynn! From the start of our booking, Madilynn responded quickly with questions I had. She was very flexible on when I dropped Biscuit off in the morning, and she let Biscuit feel like he was at home, even letting him sleep with her! She sent me updates on how he was doing. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dog and being out in the backyard running around on a nice day while she did some yard work. He was so tired when he got home, not because of separation anxiety which I worry about, but instead because he had so much fun! When you have to leave your dog behind, Its so comforting when it feels like they are getting their own little vacation at a new place and meeting new friends! I highly recommend Madilynn for your dog's stay!”

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work from home, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m very active and love making sure dogs get the exercise and stimulation they need. I also have an English Cream Golden Retriever named Sully who is extremely playful, friendly, and loves having dog buddies around. Because of that, I’m looking for dogs that enjoy playing and socializing! Creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention and companionship. I typically do a 30-minute morning walk, a lunchtime walk, and an evening walk to help dogs stay active, stimulated, and on a consistent routine. I’m also very active myself and love spending time outdoors with dogs. Since I already care for my own playful Golden Retriever, Sully, having dogs in the home is already a big part of my everyday lifestyle. Sully loves having dog buddies around, so I’m looking for dogs that enjoy playing and socializing as well! I provide a safe, loving, and active environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced-in backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, along with a large finished basement where dogs can run around, play, and burn off energy indoors. Since I work from home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and exercise throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from owners. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with me.
“Thank you Christine, for watching our two pups! Special thank you for the extra love you gave to Kylo while he was nervous from the thunder storm.”

“Rhiannon and Rachel were great. Our dog had an excellent stay with them. Would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to watch your dog.”


“Katelynn was awesome! She was incredibly attentive to details in my dogs’ profiles and I was pleasantly surprised when she just started rattling off information about the meds they take and their different needs I had written out. My dogs were clearly happy and well cared for when I picked them up and we have already rebooked with her for next week!”

“Nicole is absolutely incredible. She treated our pups like family for sure. Her backyard is an oasis for any dog that likes to run. And her kids are ready willing and able to play with the dogs. Thank you so much for the wonderful care and love you gave to our doggies.”

“A genuine sweetheart! If you seek tender care for your fur babies then I’d suggest Miriam, Everytime! In what seemed to be the most difficult time facing home instability she was understanding, patient and responsive before service and beyond with urgency! My Best first experience with Rover.”

We are so grateful we found Savannah! She stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Sam, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly kind, patient, and caring, and immediately made us feel at ease. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and treated Sam like he was her own. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind during a stressful situation. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much! ❤️🐾
Yeanna took great care of my little guy! I really appreciated her being flexible with the drop off time. Excellent communication and she sent some cute pics where he looked right at home. I highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future!!

Kylie is amazing, with her being new to platform I’m sure she will gain more repeat bookings because of how well she does with pets. She did amazing with my senior baby dog and I look forward to using her again, he adapted so well she her which is hard to come across. She is very flexible, accommodating, and informative- highly recommend using someone who is a fellow dog lover and she is it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Kansas City on Rover is $33.3 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,148 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kansas City. About 93% of Kansas City 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. 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.
