“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 💙🩵”
“Taylor is wonderful! She sends photo updates of the dogs while we’re away, and the dogs always come back happy and well taken care of! Will definitely use her again :)”
“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.”
“Susan and her family took great care of my dog while we were out of town. She sent photos and updates every day and I know he had a blast! She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We will definitely reach out again next time we need to board Teddy :)”
“Excellent communication. Very flexible. Provided updates with plenty of photos. Our dog had a wonderful time and was exhausted from all of his playing with other pups.”
About: I grew up on a family farm in Iowa, raising beef cattle, chickens, dogs, cats, horses and the occasional raccoon! I have experience from bottlefeeding newborn baby animals up to senior pets. My schedule varies weekly. I am a professional photographer that works on site and from home. My “home work” location is flexible as long as I have Wi-Fi! I can be fairly flexible with times as well as staying with your pet. For pets in my home, I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and there’s a river trail nearby for longer walks along with a pet area at my complex. I have previously stayed at and checked daily friends, family, and clients homes while they’re out of town/at work to care for their pets as well as farm animals. I have a wide array of experience working with different animals from regular in-home pets to many farm animals with feeding, walking, and giving medication if needed.
“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!”
“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.”
“It was a short stay but I felt confident Aggie was safe and having fun with Rachel. Rachel sent many photos and updates and was flexible with pickup and drop off when our travel plans changed.”
“This was the third time we have booked with Olga! She is absolutely fantastic. We got lots of updates and can tell the dogs are in such good hands.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We met Crissy and Matt before the stay which helped answer questions and alleviate anxiety. They sent pictures throughout the stay, and I felt like I didn't have to worry so much about my dog and cat since this is a job they do all the time! We would definitely choose Crissy and Matt again in the future as our sitters!”
“Alyssa is the absolute best! She was very communicative, kind, and treated our dog like one of her own. She made sure he was comfortable and well adjusted while we were gone. I especially loved all the pictures and notes she sent of how our dog was doing throughout his stay. We would absolutely book with Alyssa again!!”
“Derrika is the GREATEST! I am so happy I found her. She and her family are so nice and their love of animals is very apparent. I loved the pics she sent throughout the day. Within the first few hours of my Yogis first visit she sent me a pic of my doggo with his head in her sons lap. He only does this when he is EXTREMELY comfortable. Knowing Yogi is in excellent hands helps both his & my separation anxiety when we can’t be together. She is a true gem”
“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.”
“Ashley was great with Penelope! She sent photos regularly and kept me updated on her activity throughout the week. I will use her again - Penelope enjoyed her stay and having another dog to play with.”
“Rachel was great! She clearly cares about and has the ability to put our dog at ease throughout the stay. We appreciated her flexibility and detailed updates. Would highly recommend! We hope to have her care for our dog again!”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We are so grateful to have found Brittany and family! She took such good care of our dog while we were away for an extended period of time. She checked in every day with updates and pictures. She was very responsive and professional.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Kansas City is €40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kansas City
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.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kansas City on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,114 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.
