About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets.. before I was old enough to get a job my mom would talk to her friends and I would babysit there dogs while they were away. I’m currently i have no job so I have a lot of time to play with and care for your pet! I am available almost any time your pet needs! I am good at following instructions and making sure any animal under my care is safe. I currently cant take any pets at my home right now.
“Our dog was so spoiled with Daria, I was unsure if she was going to want to come home! Daria has amazing communication, sent tons of photos and videos of our girl being spoiled and she was super understanding of our dogs needs. Daria is definitely our go-to dog sitter!”
“Dillon was great! He sent me many updates on Beckett and was very flexible with pickup and drop off times- especially for this last minute booking. I will definitely be using him again!”
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.
“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”
“This is my second booking with Nicholas. My dog has had a great time spending time with him and his dogs. It’s a giant plus that he has a big fenced yard for Moose and his own dogs to get some exercise off leash I’m thankful for Nicholas and his kindness, care and keeping Moose entertained. Great experience for sure!”
“Megan was fantastic, great to communicate with and took great care of our dog Bob, we couldn’t be happier. Thank you to Megan and her family, we’ll definitely rebook if in the region!”
About: My financee, Garrett, and I have cared for the wellbeing of several types of dogs since we were children. We live together, but it will primarily be me who is home with the dogs and if you need help in your home, it will always be me you will speak too. We have two fur babies together and would love to help you care for yours! I work 3 minutes from home and can usually return with in a few hours on days when I have to go to the office, which is fairly rare. I do work a 9-5, but I work hybrid remote. I have a fully privacy fenced in back yard. I let my own dogs out every 3-5 hours for the bathroom, as they are grown and do not need let out much, but I am able to accomodate any bathroom schedule necessary. I am able to keep a meds and feeding schedule as well as an exercise schedule easily with my job flexabilty. Our dogs sleep with us and eat twice a day. We keep a clean, happy home and love to let our dogs out back to run and play often! In the evenings, my fiancee and I can walk your dog or dogs with our own babies as we have multiple leashes with dual or multi-capacity.
“Ashley was the best find for us and our dog. She has a great structure at her place, clearly experienced and was very understanding of our dog’s behavior challenges. I am very self conscious about our dog’s reactivity and we are so glad to have found someone we can trust to handle our very energetic and jumper pup, she is our top choice from now on.”
“We absolutely LOVED Jason, and so did our dogs! I was honestly so sad that we needed to leave our new puppy with someone because dogs weren’t allowed at our Airbnb — but Jason and his family were THE BEST. Communication was outstanding, and we received videos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Brock and Zoe loved their time there! They had lots of toys to play with and were clearly happy and well cared for. We also loved that we were able to drop them off and pick them up daily, so we could still see them while on vacation. As if that wasn’t enough, they sent us home with the sweetest card that included photos that turn into stickers — such a thoughtful touch and perfect for our Branson scrapbook. Their location was super easy and convenient, right by Branson Landing, which made it perfect for pup-friendly shopping and nature walks. We will FOR SURE be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover. The apitamy of a puppy mom and no doubt your fur babies will be in good hands with Mikala.”
“Emily was great and very accommodating when I needed to change pickup time. Very responsive and felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her sweet family. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Jackie & Micheal have become family to my pup & I. They have provided extended care to my girl when I was called upon to help my family in another state. My girl has been adopted by their entire family, and getting her home will be a challenge.”
About: My husband WFH while I love on pets full time! We have fostered through rescue organizations for 6 years now, always a rewarding experience! We used to do Rover full time in Kansas City KS, 2022-2024 before moving to our current house in MO. I helped raise 4 tiny puppies and found them furever homes. We have hosted up to 11 dogs at once utilizing 3 sections of the house as play group areas and rotation outside every couple hours. We recently fostered a puppy, Millie, who turned out to have a terminal life threatening illness. We adopted her and cared for her until her time to go was up. We also have a 6 year old dog that is now epileptic and on daily seizure meds. We have experience with all ages and medical conditions of life. As for training, I taught my first dog how to use buttons to communicate, crate train, and the regular dog commands. This is my full time job, my life's purpose, all thanks to my supportive husband who works from home. Every dog deserves the devotional and loyal love they give so freely! I am here to give back to them all the love they share and more. Through life I have learned that Safety and Trust are key to every relationship and home environment. Before integrating the dogs together, it is imperative I spend intentional time with the new dog to help it adjust to its new environment or to my new presence.
“Selena is an amazing sitter. She loved our dogs like they were her own. I was impressed with how she handled the tough stuff: the accidents, separation anxiety, hesitancy of the dogs. We got numerous updates - it felt like we never left them. We will use her services in the future!”
About: Walking, bathing, and hanging out with dogs is some of my favorite downtime activities. Growing up with a dog I learned all the necessary skills to watch over a dog. I even volunteered at the humane society in both the dog and cat area for four years! I am currently a teacher so I work from 7-4pm Monday through Friday, but if you need someone to walk your dog at night or house sit for the weekend or even a week night, I am your person! My husband also works from home so if you’re boarding during the week day he is also here to help out if needed. Whatever you need me to do is what I will follow. I will come to your place as my animals do not take well to strangers. But rest assured I will take great care of your animal, in whatever capacity you need. At our home we two cats that do well with other dogs but tend to ignore them, and one dog who LOVES other dogs so no worries there.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Nixa is $35

Ashleigh was amazing with our dogs. We felt comfortable with her after meeting her before the booking, and our anxious Junior did well- we know this because he maintained his overall weight through the stay. Our “grumpy old man” had a safe and comfortable place to nap and got some nice outside time. We already have another booking with Ashleigh and have no worries about it at all! Great outside environment for the pups to explore. Would highly recommend!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Nixa on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 187 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Nixa. About 96% of Nixa 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.
