“Dylan provided a clean and safe environment. He took the time to introduce my dogs to his and provided play time. Both of my dogs came home exhausted. Dylan is dog-experienced and cares a lot. Thank you, Dylan!”
“Ashleigh did great with my 2 weenie babies. She has a fenced in, safe yard. She text and sent photos everyday and was very accommodating to their needs. Definitely recommend her services!!!”
“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”
“My shy little doggy was very happy at this house. A family environment that made her feel at home. I don’t leave her often but this nervous doggy dad could not have been happier with our experience.”
“Ashley was just absolutely amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I 100% would! She really went above and beyond taking care of our girl! We really enjoyed the consistent check-ins and pictures and appreciate the extra time she took to let us know how Harley was doing while we were away! I was so thrilled that she actually seemed to take the time to get to know our fur baby and treated her like one of her own! This was our first time boarding Harley, but Ashley made it so smooth and stress-free! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Olivia was fantastic! She is extremely kind, communicates clearly, and flexible with changes. We had a few changes with our schedule, and she was so nice about it and took care of things. She sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were away. They had a great time, and I felt like they were so safe in her hands. I’ll definitely take them back again ?”
“It is so nice to be able to leave Major (7 month old pup) in a safe place knowing that he is happy, running and playing with the other dogs. While also learning to be around small children. Mickayla is wonderful and incredibly kind and gracious.”
“Last minute booking. Excellent care of our fur ball. We were updated with regular photos and chats about Ozzy's days. We hope to have Gerrad watch Ozzy many times in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Payten is sweet, easy to work with and she is in a convenient location. Jovie was her normal self the next day rather than needing extra rest, which tells me it was a very good stay. Payten also sent me several pictures that told the story of how she was doing, but did not overwhelm me. I would be happy to use her services again.”
“Kim was great. It was super nice to get some Pictures over the weekend our pup definitely had fun as her mini boarder collie was up for playing. Will definitely use her again.”
“I am forever grateful and so thankful for Kaitlin. We were getting married and taking our honeymoon so I needed someone to keep our 3 pups during the process. This was our first time needing to use Rover and I am so happy we found Kaitlin. I was nervous about one dog in particular just because it was really her first time ever apart from me and Kaitlin walked me through the whole process, took the extra steps I needed to be comfortable leaving her and went out of her way to make sure I had daily updates the whole week they were with her. Having the peace of mind that my babies were being loved and treated like her own babies, and being able to physically see that with the updates, really allowed us to enjoy the wedding and honeymoon adventure. All 3 of my doggies came home happy and worn out from all their playing. I would not hesitate to leave my babies with Kaitlin again and I highly recommend her for your pets home away from home”
About: I’m a stay at home mom who manages our small hobby farm. I have ten years of hands-on animal care and I have been around many dogs in that time. I am very active and love to be outside, rain or shine. I have a 6 year old mix we rescued from a shelter I volunteer at locally. We got her when she was just a year old and struggling to acclimate. She’s our little couch potato and will snuggle anyone. She is the most kind and gentle momma. I have experience with high energy and high anxiety dogs. No dog is too big or too small for me. I also have experience giving dogs medication and feeding on schedules. I like to go above and beyond to ensure your pets get treated like mine would. I work from home managing our small hobby farm. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible most days! I am up at 6 am with the sun and available. I respect your home and your animal just as I would my own. I know it can be stressful having someone in your home and around your pets so I communicate a lot! My home has a large 6 ft. fenced in yard and beyond that is our fields. The farm is separate from the home and yard area and your pet will never go up to the farm.
“Sydney was so amazing and accommodating with our dog Sally. She wrote us very thoughtful and thorough updates and sent lots of pictures. Sally came back relaxed and happy. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.
“Molly provided excellent care for our Corgi. I received pictures and notes keeping me updated. I was concerned that our pickup time might change due to airline changes and she was flexible to work with me. I very much appreciated the love she provided.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Nixa is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nixa
We have an elder dog with back problems. We have been feeling stuck because he doesn't like being left alone and stops eating if he is stressed. Ashley was willing to work with us and was helpful and kind dealing with his issues. She took him for short walks which he loved and sat with him on the floor to make him comfortable. We were encouraged that this could give us an opportunity to do some traveling. We have already set up for another short trip in a couple of weeks. Thanks Ashley
I could not be happier with my boarding experience with Ashleigh and Colby. I have only had my Doxie for a couple months and I've had challenges with him. I was worried he might have an issue with their adorable little dog, but things went so well right off the bat. They have a wonderful little country-ish place with a nice fenced in area that dogs can get out and roam a bit. I had a really great feeling with both of them... a great combination of being welcoming and strong with my dog, complete attention to him. I felt very good about them wanting to know details, and asking the right questions and also listening to me. Ashleigh messaged me several times with updates and pics and her communication and attention to details was really great. I plan on trying to use them again in a couple weeks and could not recommend them more. You can feel great about using them to watch and love on your dog. SIX stars... not five.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Nixa
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Nixa on Rover is $37.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 175 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nixa. 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.
100% of Nixa 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 Nixa 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 Nixa 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 Nixa.
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 Nixa 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.
