Alexis was very flexible, accommodating, and communicative. We appreciated her willingness to watch our fur babies at a late notice and work around our schedule. Charlie and Snickers were well taken care of.

About: I lived with dogs growing up and have owned my own dog for nearly two years now. I’ve dog sat/walked for friends and family many times over the years. I work full time, Monday-Friday from 8-5. Either my husband or I come home for lunch every day to let our dog out. She gets plenty of time to run around in the backyard while we are home. We have a fenced in backyard and a very social dog that we rescued almost two years ago. She’s always itching for a new friend to play with! She’s crate trained and good with dogs of all sizes.

Mowgli seemed like she had a great time at Regan’s. As soon as I arrived to drop Mowgli off I felt better about leaving her with a sitter from the Rover app. Reagan kept me updated with pictures of Mowgli at her house having a great time. Thanks for giving me me relief with updates and enabling my girl to have a safe place to be and have fun. I’d highly recommend Regan and her place to someone looking for a great dog-sitter.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life for the last 35 years cats dogs, have a large house with a doggie door and I have two separate bedrooms with beds in them that are completely unused for your cat. If it needs to be by itself or for your dog, it’ll work out perfect I’m basically retiredand I work 15 hours a week so I’m home most of the time I work 12 hours a week besides that I am home all the time so caring for animals will be fine. I have a couple extra cages and spare bedrooms. The animals will be allowed inside. I am home every day work just part-time. They will be taken care of very well. Even have separate bedrooms for animals that needs special care or just for any safety issues.

Snoopy stayed with Alexis for a week. She has such a nice home and her fenced in backyard is a perfect hangout spot. Snoopy was happy & healthy when we picked him up. I would definitely use Alexis for boarding again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Brookings on Rover is $35.52 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 15 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Brookings. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Brookings 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 Brookings.

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 Brookings 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 SD 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.
