This was my first time using Kasey and I could not be happier doing so! Kasey's attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond taking care of my senior puppy provided this very anxious pet parent the reassurance that he was in the best hands for his care! Kasey does an amazing job with keeping you up to date with pictures and videos so you can rest assure that everything is going well!

About: I am a dog-loving person who said goodbye to my beloved puggle after 15 wonderful years together. After caring for friends' dogs, I realized how much I missed having furry companions around the house and decided to open my home to Rover guests! I provide a calm, loving environment and are best suited for small to medium-sized, family-friendly dogs of all ages. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a cozy nap on the couch, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My home has a large, unfenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised and on a leash. I also live on a quiet dead-end street with very little traffic, making it a great place for safe walks and fresh air. Because I primarily work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship and won't be left alone for long periods. I treat every Rover guest like they're part of the family and look forward to giving your pup a happy, stress-free stay! I work remote with a flexible schedule, so dogs are rarely left alone. If I do need to step out briefly, I'll follow your dog's normal routine—whether that's being crated, staying in a gated area, or another arrangement you're comfortable with. My home sits on a large lot at the end of a peaceful dead-end street with very little traffic. Although the yard is unfenced, I've always used leashes for potty breaks and walks with my own dog in the past, so supervised outdoor time is simply part of the daily routine. Your pup will receive one-on-one attention every time they go outside, and safety is always my highest priority.

Linda took the best care of my Yoshi while I was gone for 10 days. I’d typically be apprehensive being gone for so long, but I knew that he was in good hands with Linda!! She checked in frequently and did everything to make sure he felt at home at her place! 😊

He provided the perfect amount of communication and sent some really great pictures while we were away. I was thoroughly impressed by his level of care and would love to book with him again.

About: I've been fostering the last few years and have experience with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm great with puppies and provide a calm routine. I work from home and as a rule don't leave my dog home alone for more than 4 hours when I do go out. My partner and I have a good routine of taking our dog Charlie out to play in the morning and evening in the back yard. I'm around all day for potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard and a very calm home environment. I have a 35 lb dog, Charlie who sleeps all day while I work. We live in a quiet neighborhood that's great for walks.

Los mejores cuidadores para mi doki. Son una familia HERMOSA y todos son amantes de los animales. Es la primera vez que dejo a mi doki con una persona en estados unidos y ha sido la mejor experiencia. Fue una petición bastante express y hubo receptividad inmediata. Maggie(su perrita amiga) le prestó su cama a mi pequeño. Los recomiendo, habrá muchas opciones pero esta familia ES LA OPCIÓN que debes de escoger siempre. Muchas fotos me enviaron y todo su alimento y medicina fue dado exactamente como se pidió. Gracias Cassie,Ben, familia entera y también a Maggie, la mejor anfitriona. Los vemos pronto, Dios me los bendiga siempre.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your dog feels right at home. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've worked with rescue organizations as a foster, helping dogs transition into loving forever homes. That experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to care for pets with a variety of temperaments and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor their care to match their routine. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining exercise routines, and providing plenty of love and attention while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I know every pet is unique, and I look forward to getting to know yours and treating them like one of my own. Every dog's ideal day looks a little different, and I do my best to match their routine so they feel right at home. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Mornings typically start with a potty break, breakfast (if that's part of their schedule), and some playtime or a walk. Throughout the day, dogs can relax inside our spacious home, enjoy supervised time in our fenced backyard, or play with my two friendly dogs if they enjoy canine companionship. My older dog, Colby, is calm and loves to lounge around, making her a great companion for senior or more relaxed dogs. Swiss is younger, playful, and always happy to have a buddy to run around with. Whether your dog prefers to play or simply nap in a sunny spot, they'll have a companion that matches their energy level. The evenings are all about more outdoor time, cuddles, dinner, and winding down before bed. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're on their own little vacation while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, there's plenty of space for dogs to spread out, nap, or simply be part of the family. I carefully introduce new dogs to my own pets to ensure everyone is comfortable. My two resident dogs are well-trained, friendly, and accustomed to sharing their home with visiting dogs through my rescue and fostering experience. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, monitor playtime, and give each dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I understand that every pet has unique routines and preferences, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.

When we book with Rover, I'm sometimes sent pictures of the dogs where they appear to be pleading with their eyes, saying something along the lines of "Where are you? What did I do to deserve this?" These picture are most emphatically NOT what I get from Karrie. In every single picture she sent, both of our dogs are grinning from ear to ear and appear to be having the time of their lives. When I took the dogs over, it had been quite a while since their previous visit with Karrie -- but they clearly remembered her and couldn't wait to ditch me and get into her house. I can't recommend Karrie enough -- she's a fantastic sitter!

Jessica and her girls were great to my Lucy and Otis. Jessica sent daily update photos twice a day, morning and evening. She was just the right amount of communicative and provided a great sense of safety while we were away on a trip for five days. Her doggy Rain seemed like a great companion to also get some needed socialization for our Lucy who just loves being around other younger pups. Overall, I would recommend Jessica and her girls to anyone needing a safe place to keep their pups in the KC metro area.

FAQs for Boarding - Merriam

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Merriam on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,152 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Merriam. About 94% of Merriam 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 KS 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.
