“Kaiya did great and loved the extra attention and buddies to play with. I also really appreciated Kelly's flexibility with our schedule. Would happily book again!”
“This was by far my best Rover experience! My pup did boarding for 2-weeks over the holidays so was a bit nervous because of the length of time. Cassie and Ben were great, treating my pup with love, sharing pics daily, walks, and more. Will definitely use again!”
“This has been our absolute best experience on Rover. Julia makes her home so dog ready and Rue is as sweet as can be. She sent 3 pictures a day and they were wonderful pictures.”
“This was the second time we booked our doggies with Mo and once again Mo and her family were amazing!!! Our dogs both warmed up to them quickly remembering her from last time. They absolutely love her and staying at their place. It always seems like she has a playmate for our energetic puppy and my older timid dogs absolutely love Mo and her husband. The amount of updates Mo gives is amazing and she truly cares about them as if they are their own. I truly appreciate her services. I will always choose Mo for as long as she offers doggy boarding!”
“Kelsey was fantastic. Gave us regular updates and clearly cared for our boy Obi. It’s hard for us to leave our dog in other people’s care, and Kelsey made us feel safe and reassured the whole time. Obi has a new babysitter for sure! Thank you for everything Kelsey!”
“Elizabeth and Christopher were great with our dog Bailey. I got a good feeling about them and their home as soon as I dropped Bailey off. They sent pictures and updates and Bailey was well taken care of. Would definitely use them again if available x”

“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!”
“Second time Louie has stayed with Michelle and Bradley. He loves being there, is well cared for and enjoys their dog, Joni. Michelle and Bradley are clear communicators and great representatives of Rover.”

“Daniel did an absolutely fantastic job watching my two dogs Quinn (a senior dog) and Phineas (a puppy). 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. Highly recommend!”

Stephanie took great care of our dog Sherlock for 2 weeks. Communication was smooth. She’s been diligent with updating us and sending pictures while we were away. Sherlock seemed like he had so much fun staying with Stephanie. We will definitely book her again for our upcoming trips.
Andi was very communicative and patient with our anxiety of leaving our Jax with her. Jax can be a Nervous Nelly and he was comfortable with her from the meet & greet. He was happy when we left and happy when we picked him up. We will definitely be trusting Andi again and I'd say Jax looks forward to seeing her again. 😊
This was my first time using the rover app and Kayley exceeding all expectations. She was available last minute when I needed her and took such good care of my timid dog Willow. She was great about keeping me updated with pictures and made the whole process smooth and easy. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!
Brittany was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the stay with lots of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my pup was in great hands and I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Brittany. I will definitely book with her again!

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.

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.
