“Susan was terrific. She sent us pictures and we could see just how happy our little Benton was at her home. Our flight home was delayed and she was so understanding about us picking him up late. We will definitely trust Susan with our little guy again.”
“Olivia was great with Koda and was very flexible with my changing schedule. Super sweet and caring towards my pup. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for a safe and comfortable stay for their pet ☺️”
“I had an emergency trip to overseas to visit my dad that was in hospital. It was a very stressful situation that needed quick arrangements. I checked many many profiles in Rover to finally choose Mo G. Who I believed matched my needs for my 2 babies. And O.My.God!!! What a luck and honor to find her ! First of all, I told her I cook for my babies and mix with their dog food but I’m not at all expecting her to do that. She can just feed them their dog food for the 3 wks their with her! Guess what??! She cooked for them and per daily videos and pics i got several times a day, they LOVED the food! Also. I told her my dogs are not using crates or kennels and they sleep with me on my bed. I’m not expecting her to keep them in bed, but just let them sleep on the floor, and not in the crate. Again, they had the most loving time sleeping with her or her family members (kids, spouse,..) . Each Video of them would bring me joy tears of how much fun and love they have in her house! I even told her I probably need to bribe them to come back home since they have such a blessed and luxurious life there LOL. The attention, love, happiness, Fun and care my dogs experienced there was beyond my expectations. When you have to leave to an emergency situation that worries you to the roof, knowing that your loving babies are in a caring responsible warm hands that would cut one less to worry about is absolutely PRICELESS! And she did all that. Plus she was extremely flexible and cooperative regarding my dogs drop off and pick up schedules. At the time of pick up She even gave me a full loaf of fresh chicken that she found out my dogs loved for free! If I could give her a 100 stars for her review, that would not still be enough! My babies now for sure have second mama that they would love to go to when needed! Thank you Mo ! You have no idea what you did for me and my dogs, and how much I appreciate you and your family. My dogs and I are very lucky we found you! Thank you ❤️❤️”
“Erin is very kind and caring. My pup had not been with a sitter before and she listened to my recommendations when my Raven was scared and being reactive. She listened to my suggestions and Raven finally calmed down enough to realize Erin was a safe person. Thank you for being patient with my young girl.”
“Lona and Alan were fantastic! They were very thorough in getting to know the details about caring for Skipper, and communication was excellent. They gave my high-energy pup lots of playtime, walks, and attention. They also sent lots of photos throughout his stay - I could tell he was having a great time!”
“Nicole is very friendly. Her kids were very loving towards our pup. She got lots of snuggles. It was convenient and communication was great. Would definitely use again.”
“Having never used Rover, we didn't know what to expect. That said, boarding our dogs with Brandi turned out to be a great decision! She is incredibly knowledgeable about caring for dogs and managed our polar opposite pooches (1 older, more chill dog, and 1 high energy pup) with ease. Every day we were treated to pics & videos of the dogs at one of the several parks she'd take them to. We ended up referring to this time as their doggy summer camp since they seemed to be enjoying it so much. Will happily return to Brandi when dog services are needed again, can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Shannon was incredible!! My 20 month old Goldendoodle, Cali, had a wonderful time staying with Shannon for four nights. She did all of Cali's favorite things-playing ball, daily walks, cuddling & spending lots of time together! She has a Goldendoodle named Hunter & the two of them got along great. Shannon sent lots of wonderful pictures & it was obvious that she cared for Cali as if she were her own! We will definitely be back & HIGHLY recommend Shannon. She's awesome!”
“This was the first time boarding our dog and this family was amazing. From the moment we met, I had nothing but good vibes and felt incredibly at ease. The updates and pictures were great and they were so communicative. We will be rebooking for sure!!!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we found Griffin! He watched our chihuahua for a week and I think she had a better time on vacation than we did! The kids (and adults) absolutely loved getting the picture/video updates and we so appreciated how they let Tallulah make herself feel right at home. We will definitely be asking for Griffin again next time we travel.”
“Stephanie was amazing with our sweet Mochi. She sent pics during his stay with her and we could see he had so much fun. We came to Kansas City from Oklahoma City for a sporting event and needed a safe and fun place for him to stay while we were going to be at the game. We could not have found a better option for him. Highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Such a great sitter for my bestest boy. She understood his needs and made them happen. She also sent me lots of updates and pics which made me happy as I missed him. 15/10, would use again.”
“Helen is an absolute joy! I don’t board my dogs very often and she makes them so feel welcome and at home. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is very responsive and provides regular updates. It is such a peace of mind for me knowing my dogs are in good hands with such a caring person.”
“Kristy took wonderful care of Ollie! She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Ollie was in such good hands. Thank you, Kristy!”
“Jillian was absolutely amazing with our baby, Scooby! She took wonderful care of him and provided updates and pictures! Scooby definitely enjoyed his "vacation" with Jillian and I will DEFINITELY book services with her again! This was the first time he has been away from us overnight and we were a little worried, but the updates she provided, we felt very reassured that he was in the best hands! Thank you Jillian!”
“Loving caring home. I am a Tiger fur baby mom and I felt completely comfortable leaving Daisy with Linda. She was very flexible and Daisy was happy and well taken care of. Linda’s home is very pet friendly and it was obvious she loves dogs!”

Savannah was a lifesaver for a last-minute booking! I’d never used boarding before and was really nervous, but she made me feel at ease pretty quickly. I even forgot a few things for my dog, and she had everything covered. She sent updates with photos and always responded quickly when I texted. If you’re nervous about boarding like I was, I can’t recommend Savannah enough!
Great dog sitter and I felt safe leaving my dog with him. The only disappointment was, my dogs favorite toy was thrown away because it got ruined. (I did have to ask about the missing toy first.) I don’t know how it happened because my dog usually doesn’t play rough. I won’t knock a star off for that, because I know things happen. But next time, just let me know without me having to ask. Thanks. 😊
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!!
Katelynn was very good with communication. We appreciated that she was able to help with Buddy last minute. We don’t just leave him with anybody, we are happy we found a great sitter for his personality while visiting KC! We would book with her again if in the area .
Our dog, Chloe, had the best time with Emily! She made sure Chloe felt comfortable and loved right away. She also made sure she was well entertained during her stay - taking her to the dog park and playing with her toys. Emily was great with Chloe’s routine and medication. She sent me plenty of updates and gave me tons of peace of mind during our trip! I’d 100% recommend booking Emily as your Rover!
Rio had a great time at Ragan's! He got a lot of attention and loved playing with her dogs. She was super communicative with me while he was there and even let me leave my car parked in front of her house while my family and I went to the Chappell Roan show. Your pup will be in great hands with Ragan and her family!

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 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.
