“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Meilan and her family took wonderful care of our pup! She was very easy to communicate with and sent pictures each day we were gone. We will definitely use her again in the future when we go out of town. ❤️”
“Cai loved Carmen and Kate and their crew. He enjoyed all the toys! We will definitely call Carmen and Katie when Cai needs a fun place to stay. Thanks so much. Cai and Margaret”
“Since Griffin works from home he was able to provide our pup with the human company he is used to at home. This was important for me. Griffin’s little dog was happy to share space with ours. Easy access to play in the fenced in backyard was especially nice on sunny days. Willy was well-cared for during his stay in Griffin’s home.”
“Lauren was great with everything from special accommodations for our fur babies to meeting our needs as the pet owners. She kept us updated hourly/daily on how our puppies were doing and also sent pictures showing how much fun they were having. We highly recommend Lauren to anybody that is looking for a babysitter for their fur babies. While attending a graduation in Kansas seeing that our hotel is not pet friendly , we found her on Rover and that was the best decision we ever made. Thanks again so much Lauren and we appreciate you !”
“Lucy was awesome! Her two young daughters immediately helped Pepper feel loved and welcomed. The whole family was excited and slowly introduced Pepper to the other dogs. I got a photo update every day and Pepper was so happy at pick up :)”
“Amazingly kind. She has one small dog diva. Our frenchies are not dog aggressive but nosy. We felt totally at ease leaving them. She has a good sense about dogs and wasn’t overwhelmed by our nosy Frenchie. Home was well established to accommodate two dogs. When we went to pick up they had company. We were excited for a chiefs win so we all talked about the game. They were very personable. Our frenchies were so tired. With all of the activity the dogs were more than well entertained. We picked them up around 7 and they slept for 14 hours straight. They were exhausted which just means they stayed busy didn’t sleep a lot cause there was always something going on. Highly recommend and will use again. Thank you for the day service. It met our needs perfectly. Their location was close to i~70 and easy to find.”
“Erin was incredible! She messaged me throughout my trip and made my dog feel SO loved. I could that my dog was well taken care of because of the pictures of messages I received throughout her stay. I will definitely be using Erin again the next time I need to board my dog!”
About: I have experience in clinic and shelter environments, especially with fearful or reactive pets. I also have experience with exotic animals and have taken care of personal pets my entire life! I’m reliable for feeding, walking, medicating, providing enrichment, and more. I’m currently available mornings, evenings, and overnight. With notice, I can invite animal-friendly small/medium pets into my home. For larger pets or those who don’t enjoy animal company, I can do drop-ins or walks at your home! I have my own friendly dogs and cats in my home. The small animals in my home are kept in a separate room. I have a long leash to give your pup some playtime outside, or we can take good walks on a regular leash. I can crate, medicate, or provide enrichment for your pets as needed (with instructions), always with compassionate care.
“Sara is very organized, professional and thoughtful! She sent updates and pictures while Dexter was staying at her house. Made me feel at ease and knew he was being well taken care off while we were out of town. Will be reaching out again, thanks Sara!”
“Another great stay with Billie. My two dogs jump out of the car and run up her walkway. They obviously enjoy staying with her and her doggie. I feel very comfortable when they are in her care.”
“Christina and her partner James took amazing care of my anxious pup, Toast. She sent consistent updates that made me feel at peace with leaving him. The best part of all is that I came back to a very normal dog. He was very comfortable in their space and became friends with their sweet dog, Gizmo. Toast slept in bed with them every night and he wasnt left alone, like I was worried. I will 100% be using them again. I was so happy with how everything went!”
“Shawn did a great job looking after my 2 special needs kiddos. They are seniors, who are insulin dependent and that can be tricky for sitters. I would trust him to take great care of them any time!”
“Super generous and kind! Kayla took great care of our dog, who had a blast with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates. We would 100% recommend Kayla and book with her again!”
“We booked with Christine for 5 days and I will definitely be booking again in the future. The meet and greet prior to booking really helped put my mind at ease and was nice to introduce my dog to Christine and her family. The backyard is a great size for allowing dogs to burn off some energy. There were a bunch of toys and having other dogs to play with was important to me as we only have a cat for our dog to play with back home. When we picked her up she was so exhausted and went to bed earlier than usual so I think she had an awesome time at Christine's.”
“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.”
About: I work from home. I have a fenced in front and back yard. I am able to let your pet play outside, roam the house, hangout with me and even sleep with me if that is preferred. I have kennels, pet bowls and would just ask that you bring food/ treats/ anything else they need (bed, blankets, stuffie. Ect.) I have leashes and harnesses but if you have them specifically fit to your dog that is ideal! I work from home so I am able to care for your pet and not have them cooped up all day. They can be out and hangout with me! I have a fenced in front and back yard! I have 2 friendly dogs but they are in their own area of the house that they won’t even engage. If your dog if friendly, they can play but if not- mine will be separated and behind closed doors.
“Such a warm and welcoming family and home. And Auggie had so much fun playing with Simon and Pearl. It made our quick trip so relaxing to know he was being so loved and taken care of….”

She does a great job. My two boys 8 and 3 years old learned to use the dog door while at her home, the old one would go out but not in lol. We will use her again , my boys had a great time . She sends you video for your dogs and keeps you updated.. love her and her dogs and will return again.
Our Yorkie, Bailey isn't easy, as she doesn't like other people, other pets, and other homes - she's spoiled. But she took to Nicole and her small fur babies, who were nice to her. Thankfully, Bailey has her new home away from home and we are booking Nicole for our vacation next month.
We had an excellent experience! Communication was fantastic from start to finish, and we really appreciated all the pictures and regular updates on Cocoa & Scout. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We could tell they were in great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our Remi had the best time with Sylveena and her family. We received so many pictures, updates and notes throughout the days we were gone, it was so appreciated. She even kept a mindful watch over her time outside due to the intense heat we’re experiencing. It’s obvious that Sylveena loves animals and we are so happy to have found her!
This was the first time we used this app, and we were a little worried about leaving our small dog with someone we didn’t know. But the moment I saw Derrika’s smile in her photo, I knew she was the right person. Even before the drop-off, I was still a bit nervous, but as soon as Derika met us, all the stress disappeared. She welcomed us so warmly, with a huge smile and genuine happiness in her eyes. Taya went into the house with her without even looking back at us 😂 We’re extremely happy with the experience and highly recommend her ❤️
Hammy did great in Erin’s care! Erin was attentive to his needs and comforted him when he got anxious. She provided regular updates and photos, allowing me to focus on work instead of worrying about Hammy! Hammy was able to make a new furry friend who coincidentally looked like he could be his brother 😂 and also socialize with other friendly neighborhood folks. Erin was flexible with my last minute booking, offering quick responses, and accommodated a necessary shift in pick-up/drop off time based upon my travel itinerary. I definitely recommend Erin and will seek to book with her again during future work trips!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Raytown is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,060 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Raytown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Raytown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Raytown home-away-from-home, 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 Raytown.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Raytown 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 , 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 .
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.
