“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!”
“Briah was a fantastic host for our pup! She was super easy to coordinate with, and sent us pictures throughout the stay. She clearly loves dogs which made it easy to leave our pup in her care.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I'm comfortable reinforcing training, maintaining established routines, and caring for dogs with special needs, including administering insulin injections, eye drops, oral medications, and following detailed treatment schedules. I work evening shifts, so my schedule allows me to spend much of the day with the dogs in my care before heading to work. Before I leave, they'll have plenty of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and attention, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to cuddles, walks, and quality time. My evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so dogs are never left alone for extended periods. I live in a large, spacious apartment in a very dog-friendly community right next to a large park, so there will be no shortage of walks, fresh air, and new things to explore. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my daily routine. I work evening shifts, so I have most of the day to focus on walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your dog plenty of love and attention before I head to work. My shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to quality time together. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already part of my day. Living next to a large park makes it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing by my side, I'll tailor their care to their personality and routine so they feel happy, comfortable, and at home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's habits, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care that feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and settle in. I provide a clean, safe, and secure environment where dogs receive lots of attention, structure, and affection. I live in a pet-friendly community right next to a large park, and all walks are conducted on leash. I closely supervise pets during playtime, walks, feeding, and any interactions to ensure they're safe and comfortable. When I'm working, my evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so before I leave your dog will have plenty of exercise, enrichment, and a chance to settle in for some downtime. As soon as I'm home, they're my priority again with walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Nathen has been awesome with our dog for several overnight stays. He is super kind, responsive and flexible with us. You can tell our dog Coco loves to spend time at his place and now doesn’t even say goodbye to us when she arrives for a sleep over, she is just so excited to be there. We’ve had Coco stay over for just a few nights to more than 2 weeks and it has been a great experience every time. I would highly recommend him!!”
“Her family and her took care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. She sent us a lot of pictures, kept us updated with anything that was going on, and would ask questions if she ever had anything that she wasn’t sure of. Highly recommend!”
“Deanna was quick to respond and prompt upon pick up and drop off of our little lady. We received pictures and updates every day while we were gone on vacation! Our pup came home happy and exhausted from playing all weekend with Deanna's family and dogs. We will be calling on Deanna again to have our girl over to her house while we're out of town!”
“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!”
“My Mushu is always happy to stay with Griffin and Gloria. They take such good care for my dog and always send us updates on how she's doing. They were gracious and flexible over an earlier drop-off time because my time to leave town for a conference got moved to earlier in the day. As always, thank you for treating Mushu like family!”
“My pup had so much fun at Brittany’s! He was exhausted from playing after we picked him up. She replied promptly and sent many updates. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Stephanie was quick responder and saved us from a very stressful last minute cancellation from another sitter. She sent lots of pics and updates from the weekend, putting as at ease. Would highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This was the first time our Roxie stayed with Naji, but it will definitely not be the last! Roxie had a blast racing around with the other pups, and Naji made sure we knew how happy she was with lots of pics and videos. We highly recommend Naji!”
“I have a 12 year old maltipoo and a 4 year old long hair chihuahua.Derrika is a blessing for me because she treats you fur baby like he is her own. She is very loving, caring and patient. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Great experience and a wonderful family. They loved our dog like he was their own. From the pictures they sent us, Sarge looked like he was living his best life while we were gone. Definitely a 5 star stay.”
“Angie exceeded our high expectations. She's very detail oriented and took the care of our dog very seriously. We got daily updates which put our mind at ease. A truly loving home for your pup!”

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!
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!!
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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kansas City on Rover is $41.63 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 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 July 2026, there are 1,126 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.
92% 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.
