“Rachel was obviously a great host for my pup. She sent great pictures everyday reassuring me that Lucy was having a good time and was comfortable!”
“Angie was great! Banks had a great time staying there. She sent me regular updates letting me know how he was doing and included pictures and videos. I felt comfortable leaving him with her knowing he was going to get the best care and lots of love from her and her family. Thank you for providing a safe and loving environment for my baby while I was away!”
“Amazing she sent pictures and updated me several times a day. Ace was very happy and well taken care of, I felt very comfortable, we did a meet and greet and she showed me the backyard and even encouraged Ace to use the doggie door, unfortunately we don’t have one. Tasha has a nice fenced in back yard she was just awesome I will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica is GREAT! We unexpectedly had to extend our time away from our pup due to cancelled flights, and she was so kind to continue to care for our girl for longer than initially planned. I know this cannot always be done, but I certainly appreciate her willingness to work with us & take great care of our pup while we were working to get home. Cannot recommend her enough 🙏🏼”
“Nelson stayed with Noreen over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. She sent pictures of him in the morning, afternoons, and evening each day of his stay. She was very communicative and I didn't have to wonder how he was doing. Noreen was very accommodating to Nelson's diet. He stayed with two of his toys, his special food bowl, treats, and leashes. Noreen had a bed for him to sleep on and water bowls. Pictures showed Nelson enjoying being out in their backyard, going for walks, and playing with the other dogs. It appears he had a great time and I am very grateful that he got to stay with such a nice family over the holiday weekend. I had booked his stay on short notice because it had slipped my mind in preparation for my upcoming trip. All of the local kennels for boarding were booked. Noreen made it very easy for me to book his stay. It was very much appreciated. I highly recommend using her services and would definitely book again.”
“Awesome family! Very happy with the kindness this family has it was all smiles. My pup enjoyed himself and was super tired when he got home. I appreciated the welcoming environment and all of the pictures I received during his stay!”
“We had such a wonderful experience sending our pup over to Jill's. They are a family of dog lovers and have obvious enthusiasm in caring for all dogs! Jill sent me regular updates and pictures while we were away, and was overall a great communicator. Her two dogs are very sweet and we so were glad that Rocky had playmates, both dog and human, during her stay.”
“Rylee did a fantastic job taking care of our pup. She took great care to understand our dog’s needs before the visit and was very communicative throughout the stay. Our dog came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely be using Rylee’s services again in the future!”
“Samantha was amazing and watched my cat for a few hours before a flight while I was home for the holidays. It was a last minute request and she answered and coordinated with me quickly and efficiently. She’s friendly, professional and close to the airport. Would definitely recommend boarding with Samantha!”
“Laurie took excellent care of Gizmo! She gave him all the attention and cuddles he loves. She kept us informed on how well he was doing. It’s great for us to be able to go on vacation and know that Gizmo has such a great place to stay. We highly recommend Laurie!”
“I was super skeptical about using this app. My pup doesn’t always do the greatest being away from me. Let me tell you, I am super thankful to have found Erin. She does an amazing job. She communicates and updates you frequently. She has been extremely flexible and patient with me when I have ran late.”
“Madilynn was incredible!! She kept me updated and was very flexible with my drop off and pick up times due to work and traveling. My dogs seem very happy! Thank you again!!”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets (4 cats and 1 dog) for years and used to work as a Rainbow Valley vet clinic walker and boarder! I am currently living in Kansas City and my beloved kitty Nala who joined me up here passed in October. So I currently do not have any pets at home and would love some company boarding animals! I love watching both cats and dogs 🥰 I work from home and have very flexible work hours, so I have plenty of time for boarding and walking! I live in a house with a yard and have plenty of space for your pets to roam indoors! I have a medium sized yard for dogs and a house all to myself most of the time for animals to have their space! I love boarding overnight because of animal cuddles. I don't have a fence, but if your dog has a harness it won't be a problem at all!
“A genuine sweetheart! If you seek tender care for your fur babies then I’d suggest Miriam, Everytime! In what seemed to be the most difficult time facing home instability she was understanding, patient and responsive before service and beyond with urgency! My Best first experience with Rover.”
“Ashley is amazing! This was our first time using Rover. We set up a meet-and-greet first and we knew then our dog would be in great hands. Ashley is so full of love and care for dogs! She has great communication and sent photos every day. She was cognizant of our dog’s dietary restrictions. We had a great trip knowing our dog was well taken care of by Ashley! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Linda is warm and very knowledgeable about animal care and ways that pups can feel comfortable in her home. She is super calm and I’m sure my dog sensed that. Boy, does she love dogs. For the first time ever boarding my dog, Puddin came up to the door when I came to pick her excited but super chill. She was so relaxed! She didn’t want to bolt out the door as she usually does. I know she was loved while I was home. Best boarding experience ever! Linda loved my pet like it were her own. I will definitely use her again. We have found the perfect person for our doggo.”
“Rocio was absolutely amazing. This was our first time using rover so we didn’t know what to expect but she made it so easy and comfortable leaving Vinny for the weekend. She sent us frequent updates and pictures of our dog having the vacation of his life. She really cares about the dogs she watches and takes great care of them. Will absolutely be using her again in the future for doggy daycare or overnight boarding. Can’t recommend enough!”
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jessie did a great job watching both of our dogs! She has plenty of space to roam and a large fenced in back yard for them to play in! She communicated well and sent a lot of pictures. We will definitely use Jessie again in the future.”

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 .
Malavika is top notch! She is kind, accommodating, and cares about her clients - both human and feline! She went out of her way, at the last minute, to house our 2 kitties while we were traveling cross country and we appreciate her so much. I recommend her to anyone and give her an A+ rating! Thank you Malavika!
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!

There are 1,112 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kansas City. About 93% of Kansas City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
