“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 💙🩵”
“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.”
“Taylor was great! Extremely happy with our experience with her. Sent frequent updates/photos and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time at her house. 10 out of 10 would recommend”
“Susan and her sweet family always take such great care of Charlie! They treat him as if he were their own and I think he'd rather live there. Ha!”
“Nathen cared for my dog Yuki for a full week of overnight stays. Yuki came home happy, relaxed, and adjusted well, which is always my biggest priority. Communication was fairly minimal—just a few brief updates and a short video—so I would have loved a bit more detail during the stay. Nathen mentioned Yuki can be a bit jumpy/excited (which tracks—he’s a friendly, energetic dog), but overall Yuki seemed to have a positive experience. Thank you for taking care of him!”
“Rachel was great! Very friendly, communicative and flexible! She was more than willing to keep my pup a few extra hours longer than expected! Very dependable sitter, who cares greatly for you pets! :)”
“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 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!!!”
“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!”
“Patricia was a very flexible working with me and took great care of my puppy! Her communication was awesome and her calm demeanor was really welcoming. My dog has anxiety and I know that she had a lovely time with Patricia! Thank you!”
“Alyssa and her furry fam were wonderful! We received lots of photos and updates regarding our pup's activities. He had so much fun romping with his two new friends. Alyssa will definitely be at the top of our list next time we need a doggy sitter. Thanks Alyssa!”
“So grateful to have found Crissy! My dog is a pretty anxious little guy and often takes awhile to warm up to new people, but he warmed up to Crissy almost immediately. He was already cuddled up on the couch with her just a few minutes after I dropped him off. Thank you Crissy for taking such good care of my boy!”
“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.”
“Derrika was great. She took great care of our Charlie, was great with drop off and pickups, and excellent with providing updates and communication. What a blessing it is to have a safe loving home for our little guy when we’re away. Gives us great peace of mind that he’s well taken care of and loved.”
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 medications, including insulin injections, eye drops, oral medications, and following detailed treatment schedules. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can provide. I work from home, which means your dog won't be left alone all day and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for play, potty breaks, and cuddles throughout the day. 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 your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention rather than leaving dogs alone for long stretches. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already part of my routine. Living next to a large park makes it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and fresh air throughout the day. Whether your dog prefers adventure, playtime, or just relaxing nearby while I work, I'm able to adapt to their needs and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. 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 are never left unattended for extended periods since I work from home. I live in a pet-friendly community next to a large park, and all walks are conducted on leash. I maintain a clean, secure environment and closely monitor pets during play, walks, feeding times, and interactions. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“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!”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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 .
Regan was delightful! Picked my dog up right at our hotel. Kept us informed. Was flexible when we didn't know exactly when the last event would let out. Sent photos and updates on our pup and she was happy, clean, and in good spirits upon her return. Would love to use him again if we return to Kansas City.
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!
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!

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 .

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.
