“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”

“Savannah and Kadyn took awesome care of our dog, Rosie. They sent us multiple pictures and videos to keep us updated on how Rosie was doing and you could just see how much love and attention she was getting during her stay with them. Not only that, but they were so incredibly accommodating to us when the snow storm hit and our travel plans were disrupted. They even offered to have our dog stay the night before when we thought we may have had to leave earlier than expected. For pickup, they accommodated us once again, so we could pick up our dog late and then they were available when our time changed. They communicated with us so well the whole time and we are happy to have found a great dog sitter in Lafayette! We will definitely be using them again!”

“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”

About: I am a disabled combat veteran!! I have always had dogs! I had 3 but my 17.5 year of Yorke passed away so now I have a husky and a lab! This will give me a reason and what other reason needed than to walk, sit or play with sweet doggies! They make me happy and if I had all the room I would adopt them all and pick them all up in the road! They are absolutely better than humans! They deserve all the amazing things in their little doggy life! I would love to live on your babies too!! I am currently not working full time or part time as I said I am a disabled veteran! Every now and then I have an online job from home but I am still able to attend to the dogs. Im with them in the living room and have a break every hour but most jobs only last 3 hours or so. I will have all the time with your babies! This will add to the other things that give me purpose and a reason! I love sitting outside with them throwing the ball or letting them sunbathe if they want and I also have a fan if they get hot while sunbathing! My babies love to sunbathe but when they had enough they run inside for a treat!! Your babies will be treated as my own! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly babies!! Even the driveway is gated! They will be very safe in my yard! They can run in my yard, sunbathe, or go for a swim if they like the water!

“JC was so great! My dog can be a bit of a stinker with other dogs when things don’t go her way. A minor issue happened, JC reached out instantly and let me know. She mentioned that she understood if I felt more comfortable coming to pick her up but also said that she would like to give her another chance as she was confident what caused the issue and could prevent it from happening another time..and she did! I will definitely be using her again. Would highly recommend!”

About: Ive dog sat for many people for the last three years. I’ve dog sat/walked for doctors, friends, and many neighbors. I am CPR certified with humans as well as animals. Your baby will be in great hands! I’m currently a student at LSU in Baton Rouge so after my morning classes I have the rest of my day to dog sit/walk as needed I will care for them like they are my own. I will keep an eye on them as they play, I will crate if needed, and always make sure they have the appropriate amount of food and water.

I boarded my two dogs with Carol. I received many updates and pictures during their stay. They were quite content and obviously well tended to while I was gone. I will absolutely book with Carol again. I feel very safe with my dogs in care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Central on Rover is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 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 215 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Central. 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.

100% of sitters in Central 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 Central 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 Central.

<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 Central 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 LA 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.
