“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”

“This was a wonderful experience! When Kona first met Micki she ran right up to her wagging her tail which was a great peace of mind for us. Previously a couple of times we have taken her to a kennel but it was so difficult knowing that she was alone in a sea of other lonely pets so having her be the focus in a family was a relief and happy experience for all of us! We were also kept updated by photos which we enjoyed so much! We will definitely be utilizing Micki and her family again for Kona when we have any future out of town adventures. I think that Kona will also think that she is on a vacation with Micki!”

About: Hi, I'm Rochelle! I'm an animal lover with a lifelong passion for animal welfare and more than 8 years of professional pet-sitting experience. Throughout my career, I've worked in animal welfare in several capacities, including as an Assistant Director of a no-kill animal shelter, veterinary assistant, and alongside professional trainers and wildlife rehabilitators. I've worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, backgrounds, and needs, giving me experience recognizing behavior, understanding body language, and providing thoughtful, individualized care. My experience extends well beyond cats and dogs. I've also worked on a 200-acre farm in Tennessee caring for chickens, cows, ducks, and pigs, and have experience working with wildlife. I'm professionally trained to administer oral and injectable medications to cats, dogs, farm animals, and wildlife, and I'm pet CPR certified. **What's new? I'm now working exclusively from home!** This means much greater flexibility and the ability to provide more consistent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet is a social butterfly, a couch potato, a little more particular about their people, or has special care requirements, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I currently care for several wonderful recurring pet-sitting clients and am looking forward to welcoming more families and their pets. For me, pet sitting has never just been a side gig. Getting to know an animal, earning their trust, and building a bond with them is genuinely one of my favorite things. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them accordingly. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged (or feathered!) family members! I work exclusively from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, medication, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. I can accommodate pets who need more frequent attention, consistent routines, or a little extra care. I prioritize keeping your pet's normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your time away feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible for your pet. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the center of how I care for every animal. With my professional background in animal welfare, veterinary care, and behavior, I'm attentive to body language, stress signals, environmental safety, and each pet's individual needs. In a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines and environment, following all care instructions closely, and treating their home with the same respect I would my own. I'm mindful of secure doors, gates, leashes, feeding areas, and potential household hazards. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I take a low-stress, individualized approach to handling and care, using Fear Free techniques and cooperative care principles. I never force interactions and understand the importance of respecting boundaries, especially with shy, anxious, fearful, or under-socialized animals. Whether it's administering medication, caring for a senior pet, building trust with a timid cat, or keeping an energetic pup entertained, I approach every visit with patience, experience, and attention to detail. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment.

About: I am a responsible college student athlete who is very active and loves to be around pets. I have grown up with 1-3 pets in the house my whole life, and I have learned to take care of them to the best of my abilities. I have gotten used to doing the many duties involved with taking care of a pet, including picking up waste. My summer is busy enough to create a schedule to keep me organized, but I have more than enough free time to take care of your pet(s)! I have always been a lover of bigger dogs, which is the size of dog I have the most experience with, but I have been a dog-sitter for small dogs too. I am open and comfortable with a variety!

“First time user of this app can't say enough good things about McKenzie! She took amazing care of Yoda, my French bulldog service animal, while I was away. I was a little nervous leaving him, but she kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time, which put my mind at ease. It's clear she really loves dogs and knows how to care for them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! She took Yoda on short notice commutation was on point thanks so much !!!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Ayresville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 182 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ayresville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

97% of sitters in Ayresville 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 Ayresville 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 Ayresville.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ayresville. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Ayresville 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 IA 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
