“Angie C is the best. She gave my Bailey the best experience for her first time away from home and me. Angie and her family gave her so much love that Bailey cried when it was time to leave. Angie sent me pictures everyday, even gave her a bath and took her for walks. I recommend her 100%.She was amazing!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Erin! She took amazing care of our Tyson and kept us updated the entire time by sending lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that he was having a great time—we could see how happy he was playing with the other dogs she was caring for. Knowing he was having fun made us feel completely at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and trustworthy. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾”

“Pamela was an excellent choice and we will definitely book with her again. We had a unique situation that happened last minute (one of our two dogs had to be kept separate from all other dogs). Pamela took it all in stride and was able to make adjustments to accommodate our special need. She and her husband are true ‘dog people’. We were able to relax and not worry about our fur babies while on an extended vacation.”

“Kelly- Thank you so much for taking such great care of Addie! This was my first time boarding her with you and it was a wonderful experience for both of us. It is clear Kelly has a lot of experience with dogs and their different behaviors. You and your husband are so compassionate and caring, and it is obvious how much you truly enjoy pet sitting. Kelly sent daily updates and pictures. She is also an excellent communicator, and I had complete peace of mind knowing Addie was in such great hands. Will definitely utilize Kelly again.

About: I have been a pet owner for over 40 years. I work from home, so I am always available for your precious pets! I also have a half an acre, fully gated yard-for plenty of space to roam! I am great with dogs, and also the Purrfect Cat Sitter! I work from home, so that allows me the flexibility to have extra daytime snuggles. I have always been great with animals, so a Sitter spot on Rover is totally a perfect fit for me! My home is gated around the half acre perimeter, and very pet friendly. If away with a client in their home- I make sure the animals have ample space to get to know me on their terms, as often they might be sad to be in the care of someone other than their #1's. I believe their comfort and safety is most important, so I strive to be their favorite substitute!

“First of all, I was impressed with Lauren’s perfect dog friendly house where any pet would be so comfortable and loved. But more important, our dog Bentley, who has become more anxious as he ages, spent the first 12 hours at Lauren’s highly restless and even peeing inappropriately despite all of Lauren’s efforts. Our family was in Colorado and Lauren was awesome working with us long distance , but especially with Bentley to help him get his calm back and once over his initial jitters, he was a good guest in her house. I can’t thank Lauren enough for her willingness to work through all this with us and for being so chill with it all. It was a lot and she was wonderful! She should always be a first choice if you’re looking for someone kind and patient to watch your pet.”

There was a fenced in yard to play in during the day also. We were glad we could relax during vacation knowing they were looked after so well. We will definitely be contacting Karrie next time we need some dog sitting. Thanks again!”

Angie and her family are amazing sitters! She sent regular updates and I know our pup was very loved during his multi-night stay. It was a rainy week and she even gave him a bath and washed his bed prior to us picking him up, which was an amazing surprise. We will definitely be checking her availability in the future!

We were in town for the Chiefs home opener and needed to board our 10 lb. pup for the night. Of course we wanted her to be in good hands. Right from the start Deanna was great with Canela. She got down to her level to say hello, touching noses with her! They gave her lots of attention and let us know later that evening she was doing well. Deanna even picked her up and dropped her off at our hotel. Highly recommend!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Shawnee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shawnee on Rover is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $42 per night. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,108 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shawnee. 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.

96% of sitters in Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee.

<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 Shawnee 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 KS 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.
