“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!”
“Our dog always enjoys staying with Griffin, Gloria and their dog EB. I appreciate all the updates and photos we got while we were out of town. It’s great peace of mind knowing she is in great hands. Thanks again!”
“Crissy was very flexible with us! She has great communication and great prices. My dog got along just fine with her animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Linda was amazing! She was an absolute lifesaver and did great with my little dog (who can be a bit energetic and needy at times). Linda never missed a beat, and even sent little updates on how she was doing. Highly recommend, and your dogs are in EXCELLENT hands with her!”
“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.”
“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….”
“Ali was great! She was super nice and friendly and very easy to communicate with. She is also very accommodating when we had to extend our pets stay for an extra night. She would definitely be our first choice next time we need a sitter for our pets again.”
“Colin and Tiffanee were so great! They took excellent care of my needy dog when a last minute trip came up. Clearly welcoming him into their home and sending me lots of pictures.”
“Mary was awesome! I was nervous leaving my blind senior dog for an overnight trip as it’s not often she stays at someone else’s house. Mary reassured me that she’d take good care of her and kept me updated with how she did while I was gone. She has a lovely home and an incredible backyard making her a great choice for your pup!”
“Evelyn was great! My two bulldogs boarded with Evelyn for one night. One of my dogs is anxious in new places and Evelyn did her best to ease his nerves. She was so successful that he barely left her side the next day when she was working from home. 😆 She had all their items ready to go at pick up & helped me get all the items loaded back into my car.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have been looking after my dog while using my animal loving gifts for neighbors and family and you! I'm currently a stay at home dog Mom, and would love to help and meet new friends. My schedule is very open at the moment. I have a fenced yard and a dog at home, I also live near downtown Johnson Dr and near parks for fun walks and play.
“Jessica and her girls were great to my Lucy and Otis. Jessica sent daily update photos twice a day, morning and evening. She was just the right amount of communicative and provided a great sense of safety while we were away on a trip for five days. Her doggy Rain seemed like a great companion to also get some needed socialization for our Lucy who just loves being around other younger pups. Overall, I would recommend Jessica and her girls to anyone needing a safe place to keep their pups in the KC metro area.”
“Alex was amazing and able to help out last minute booking over the holidays. Sent plenty of photos and updates and showed great care for my dog. Would recommend and will use again.”
“Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my dog Molly for a long term stay of 6 weeks! She sent me regular photos and updates which was much appreciated. Molly had a small rash from the outdoors and Victoria told me right away and was able to treat her and it resolved quickly. I will never worry leaving my dog with Victoria because I know that she is in great hands!”
“Barbara was wonderful with our goldendoodle and took great care of him! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated with pictures. Nash enjoyed being there! We would definitely book with Barbara again.”
“Abby was so communicative the whole time we were gone! Our dog requires daily meds, and Abby did great! Our dog loved playing with her puppies and came back so happy! Cannot wait to use her again!”

Dana provides premium care and is genuine in her concern for our pup. Frankie has been suffering with a torn CCL and Dana is so good to take her in and care for her until Frankie surgery. We so appreciate being able to take a needed trip for family needs and know that our sweet (and rambunctious) Frankie is in such good hands. Much thanks as always Dana❣️
Our pups had a wonderful time! Despite their very different temperaments, training histories, and medical needs, all three were well cared for and happy for their entire stay. The home, yard, and neighborhood were all a great fit. Aaron kept their medicine on schedule and gave them the attention they insist on. He sent us photos and updates every day! We'd be happy to recommend, and to return the next time we travel. Thank you for treating our little ones so kindly!
oh, the way that we feel like we struck unicorn pet sitter gold with courtney and sara! gus’s second stay went swimmingly. know how i know? he stopped and looked back at the house and we had to convince him into the car when we picked him up! 😆 and i swear he loves us! seriously tho. it’s so clear that he’s very loved while we are away. also so grateful for the pictures and updates. highest recommend!
Kit seemed to have a great time with Jessica and her adorable Pomeranians and the Kitty. When we got home, she slept most of the day because she was so tuckered out from all of the fun. Jessica provided daily updates and pictures, which helps put my mind at ease. You are in great hands with Jessica…in fact, I just rebooked her for my next trip.
Jessica took amazing care of my dog Cooper. I felt completely at ease whilst I was traveling abroad knowing that she was staying in my home and taking care of him. She kept me updated and went above and beyond to make it positive and perfect for me. I will definitely be booking with Jessica again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Westwood is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $72 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 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 1,104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Westwood. 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 Westwood 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 Westwood 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 Westwood.
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 Westwood 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.
