“Jessica was great! She took such good care of our dog and sent us regular updates. He seemed to enjoy time with other dogs and with the family and she was quick to respond to any communication.”
“Telicia did an excellent job with my pup. She communicated very well and was pleasant to deal with. The most important aspect though was I knew that she and my loving dog bonded. Telicia sent photos to prove that to me. I will let her keep my pup again and again.”
“Lucy was amazing with my Golden retriever, Chip! She provided photo updates daily, a meet and greet before booking, and even accommodated us when we had an unexpected travel delay. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“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!”
“Cassie and Ben and their kids are the best! I know Berkley is loved and well cared for while I'm away, and I can't say enough good things about them!!!”
“Elizabeth and Christopher and their family took excellent care of our dog Bruce and cat Toast. They communicated promptly and kept us well updated while we were gone. I can tell our boys were well cared for, we would definitely use them again! They also made drop-off and pickup and a breeze.”
“Shelley was fantastic. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and my pug was able to play with her dogs. She was also very flexible when I needed to extend the stay last minute. 10/10 would recommend.”
“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.”
“Andrea was very quick to respond to my messages. She provided several photo and video updates every day. It seemed like my dogs had a good time with her and her family and came back happy and spoiled.”
“Aaron was amazing! Rudy didn’t want to leave! Aaron helped me out in a pinch and I’m so thankful! He sent pictures of Rudy to me and kept me undated with him! Thank you so much! Definitely will be using his services again!”
“MO and her family are the best ! My dog Spooky loves it at her house. It's his home away from home. !! He just loves to go there ! I feel so assured that he is loved and taken care of!”
“What wonderful caregivers. Crissy and her husband always take wonderful care of my fur babies. We received regular updates and pictures. They also were flexible when needing to add another night to our stay. I highly recommend them!”
“Angela was absolutely wonderful! She’s very easy to work with and was willing to let me extend his stay when my flight was delayed. She has a plethora of fun friends that he could play and cuddle with. I only had to bring Ham and his food as she took care of the rest; she ate even wrestled him in his carrier so all I had to do at pick up was scoop him into the car. She’s my go to now for sure!”
“Greg was easy to get in touch with and communicate with about Charlie's stay and was very straightforward at all times. Charlie and his dog got along splendidly, and both Greg and his dog I think fell in love with Charlie---he had a whale of a time and they appreciated him and loved on him. Greg kept us in touch with their daily routine and we'd gladly book a stay for Charlie again when we go away again.”
“Rhiannon and Rachel took great care of Carson. Communication was excellent. Drop off and pick up went smoothly. Looking forward to using them 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.”

We absolutely loved Alyssa!!! She watched our very anxious pup over an extended 4th of July weekend and she was amazing 🤩. We received regular updates and fun photos. I could tell she was getting the lovings she would normally receive at home and that it’s important for us in a sitter. We usually have to medicate our pup due to fireworks and she was able to keep her clam without the meds which was fabulous! I could tell Gigi was sad to go, but rest assured we will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️.
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.
Kasey was the best! I HIGHLY recommend her for all your pet related needs. We left our lab with her for the Fourth of July weekend while we went on vacation and she sent sooo many videos and updates which I really appreciated. I was very nervous to leave our pup with someone but I am so happy he was in Kasey’s care. It is very clear that she loves animals and loves caring for them. Our pup had a great time and we will definitely be sending him back to Kasey’s anytime we are out of town. Thank you Kasey!!
Nadia took wonderful care of Orion. From the very beginning, she was kind, responsible, and attentive. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It's clear that she truly loves animals and treats them with kindness and patience. Orion was well cared for and in great hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Nadia!
This was my first boarding experience and it was great! David took great care of my dog and gave him a lovely little vacation. I can tell my dog had a great time. David took the time to keep me posted on how my dog was doing and sent pictures. I appreciate you David for making this experience so easy and great. We’ll for sure book with you again in the future!
We had a great experience with Ariel and Alex! They were accommodating, responsible, and easy to work with. They asked thoughtful questions about our pup’s routine and personality. Their dog, Ellie, welcomed Liesl right away, and they were enjoying each other’s company. They have a large, shaded, fenced, and well-maintained backyard. Ariel and Alex are genuine, down-to-earth people who clearly care about the dogs they watch. We’d happily have Liesl stay with them again.
I am so thankful to have found Kristy! She had taken such wonderful care of my dogs, been super responsive and communicative when booking and during their stay, and has been a pleasure to work with all around. She is clearly great with dogs and her love for them shows. I highly recommend Kristy and I know I will continue having my dogs stay with her when we are out of town.

There are 1,191 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Merriam. About 93% 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.

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.
