“Susan and her family took amazing care of our dog! It was the first time we took a weekend trip without him, but the care that Susan and her family gave him made it worry free. We got updates and pictures of him having the time of his life at the park, taking walks, and playing with the other dogs boarding for the weekend. He’s not used to kids but the whole family was great with him which made it so much easier for us to know he was being loved and cared for while we were gone. We will 100% be using them next time we need to board our dog and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, caring host for doggy day care or boarding!”
“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”
“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!”
“My fur babies had a wonderful stay with Taylor. She is so kind, even my sensitive pup, June warmed up to her instantly! Taylor was very flexible when our pickup /drop off times shifted and checked in during the visit to let me know the puppies we doing good. Highly recommend Taylor for anyone looking to have a pet sitter they can trust. Thank you so much Taylor! We will book again with you soon! ☺️”
“Stephanie was super kind and loving to our dog. She was a great communicator, sending updates and pictures during his stay. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to all.”
“Best family out there to watch your puppers. Harley had a great time and always made me feel safe knowing she was in good hands. Communication and photos were 10/10. Definitely looking forward to letting them watch Harley again! Highly recommended sitters!”
“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.”
“Deana was great with our Charley girl!! She was available last minute and took such good care or her!! She sent pictures and updates while we were on vacation which helped set my daughters mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“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.”
About: I have dogs, puppies, kittens experience since 9 years old. I'm a very loving, protective, clean sitter. You can trust me in any situation. I am currently on summer break from school, I am available anytime of the day. I am very organized and if I sign up to work I will always make it on time. I'm very clean, it's safe where I live and it's running water, air conditioning, WiFi, food, I provide as much care as possible for guests and animals.
“Nathen was wonderful! He was flexible and communicative, and really put us at ease from the first moment we met him. Max had big fun at Nathen’s, playing with the other dogs! Nathen texted us while we were away, and sent a video of Max playing with the other dogs, so we could see he was loving his stay there. We’d love to have Nathen keep Max again, and it’s such a relief to find someone so caring for our sweet boy!”
“We absolutely loved Alyssa!!! She watched our very anxious pup over an extended 4th of July weekend and she was amazing 🤩. We received regular updates and fun photos. I could tell she was getting the lovings she would normally receive at home and that it’s important for us in a sitter. We usually have to medicate our pup due to fireworks and she was able to keep her clam without the meds which was fabulous! I could tell Gigi was sad to go, but rest assured we will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️.”
“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).”
“This was the first time we used this app, and we were a little worried about leaving our small dog with someone we didn’t know. But the moment I saw Derrika’s smile in her photo, I knew she was the right person. Even before the drop-off, I was still a bit nervous, but as soon as Derika met us, all the stress disappeared. She welcomed us so warmly, with a huge smile and genuine happiness in her eyes. Taya went into the house with her without even looking back at us 😂 We’re extremely happy with the experience and highly recommend her ❤️”
“Another 5-star stay with Naji! Our sweet Willow was able to play outside with other dogs and we got updates everyday on how she was doing. Even when our plans changed and we had to come back a day later, Naji was able to be flexible with us.”
“We trust Brittany with our dog and he was in an amazing mood when we picked him up! Plenty of room for him to run around and he loves playing with the kids and other dogs. Never had an issue with our dog here.”

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. 😊
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!
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!

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.
