“Susan and her family were great with our dog! They gave him lots of love and attention and sent us pictures to make sure we knew he was doing well. I would absolutely recommend Susan and the next time I leave town I will reach out to her again!!”
“Erin was absolutely amazing at caring for our dog while we were away. She and her husband showed him so love, treated our dog just like he was part of their family. She sent multiple pictures/videos each day. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Mo and her family took exceptional care of our golden retriever! During our vacation, she sent lots of pictures and videos. In fact, we’re not sure who had more fun on their vacation - us or our dog! ? We are grateful for Mo and look forward to having Niles visit her house again.”
“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!”
“Nicole and her family were amazing and went above and beyond when caring for our dog Macy! She has a huge backyard for Macy and her dogs to run and play! Nicole communicated quickly even on the holiday. Highly recommend Nicole!!”
“After kenneling Max at the vet multiple times, he always seemed to come home stressed, anxious and out of sorts. After coming home from Sarah’s after 4 days there, it was the same old Max. No anxiety, no stress! Sarah was awesome! Texted pictures and kept us updated on how Max was doing. We are so happy we found a great home away from home for Max when we can’t take him with us!”
“Shannon is excellent at communication! She sent lots of pictures of my pup having a blast at her house (daily walks, playing ball, etc.). She loves dogs and genuinely enjoys taking care of them. I would definitely let her watch my dog again in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. We received daily updates and pictures. Our two dogs were happy and tired when we picked them up. Thank you Gloria and Griffin for making this such a positive experience for all of us. We truly appreciate the care and attention you gave Oliver and Bear.”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“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 ☺️”
“Stephanie is great!! She is always available to watch Tater and will even pick and drop her off when needed. Tater loves going to her house and always comes home and happy tired pup!”
“Christine was great with communication and kept us updated the entire stay with photos. She has 3 boys that helped get all of Ryder’s energy out. We would absolutely recommend Christine!”
“Continue to use these wonderful ladies because they have great availability and love on my pup like their own! They even made my pup a bday cake since she was staying with them during her birthday weekend. She always has a great time with this sitter!”
“Dexter and Eddy had one of the most wonderful stay. They came home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. The sweetest touch? They gave both pups a puppy cup and even sang "Happy Birthday" to Dexter for his special day! 🎂 It meant the world to see how much they cared. Both boys were all tail wags and smiles the entire time. Thank you again for making Dexter’s birthday so memorable and for taking such great care of our boys.”
“Alexandria was amazing! Daisy was beyond spoiled and taken care of her entire stay! Truly I don’t think she wanted to leave her “staycation”!! We got tons of pics and updates and already are booking Alexandria for our next trip! Thanks for taking such good care of our little dog!”
“John & Rachel were amazing! Our dog was very happy with them and got along well with their dog. They sent several photos and updates and were quick to reach out with concerns. We will definitely use them again!”
“Becky was amazing! She was so sweet to our pup and made us feel super comfortable leaving him at her house. She sent a lot of pictures and was flexible with schedules. I especially loved that she allowed our dog on furniture and didnt require him to be kenneled. We will definitely reach out of Becky again when we have to leave town!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kansas City on Rover is $41.07 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 1,094 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kansas City. 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.
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.
