“We were nervous to leave our cat with someone else for the first time, then we met Zuri we felt confident that Margot would do just fine! Drop off went great. The communication was impeccable. She sent us pics and kept us in the loop at all times. She was flexible and understanding with our schedule changing. Zuri is an amazing pet sitter! We were so pleased.”
“What a perfect place to leave our dogs. They had great fun with the other dogs and stayed pretty active. I didn't want to leave my dogs for 2 weeks in a standard boarding situation so I am so happy to have found Grateful Gardens through Rover. Clay was a very conscientious care giver.”
“Diana was amazing! She was very communicative and took such great care of my little guy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pets!❤️”
“Our dogs have stayed with Gayle twice now, and I can't imagine using anyone else! They're happy there, busy and well cared for. She shares lots of pictures and videos and you can tell she enjoys what she does!”
“Gemma and her family took great care of Scooter during our out-of-state weekend. He was relaxed and tired when we returned home….. which was a good sign! Gemma even sent us a cute picture of him with her ADORABLE pup too!! Thanks Gemma!”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for nearly two decades. My attention to detail never goes unnoticed and I am confident in my abilities to comfort your pet(s) by making them feel special and safe! I have experience with all kinds of creatures — dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents/ferrets, fish, and waterfowl, at all stages of life. Yes, even your beloved seniors. I’m a parent/caregiver to a child with disabilities and while that does not affect my ability to care for animals, it can limit some of my time due to my child’s day-to-day needs, appointments, etc. I update my calendar accordingly to reflect my availability. With that said, most of our appointments are virtual or in-home and I am a stay at home mom so I still have plenty of time for pet care. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs and I am always nearby supervising. I allow pets on furniture and treat them just like my own when I’m watching pets in my home. Instructions regarding potty breaks, feeding, kennel time, medications, etc., are always followed if given.
“Whitney took great care of our little boy and was patient with him as he can be anxious with new experiences. We got photo updates and she made sure he was well taken care of!”
“Our fun loving Bowie had a great time with Michael and his family. Michael shared daily updates and pictures of our girl living her best life. Highly recommend, especially if your pup would thrive in a family environment.”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our 1-year old mini bernedoodle when we were traveling for a few days. He was well cared for and she did a great job communicating both in advance of his stay and how he was doing during his visit. We would highly recommend Jennifer for your pet care needs and will use her services again.”
“Catrina took excellent care of our two pups. I got lots of updates which allowed me to relax and the dogs came home happy. They are both sensitive and a bit anxious and did great ❤️”
“Hailey and her family were absolutely incredible! She provided daily updates and pictures which greatly eased my mind. She went above and beyond to provide sensitive care to my aging dog. I would highly recommend Hailey!”
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.
“Natalia is a gem! We booked her kind of last minute for our senior dog and I’m so glad we found her. She was very responsive and asked if we had any special needs. She took great care of our dog and even took her with her on outdoor adventures and to work. She sent lots of sweet photos.”
“Christina is a wonderful sitter! She is always enthusiastic and responds promptly to communications. I love her positive attitude and the way that she interacts with my dog. Her house and yard are great for pups and she keeps it all very neat and tidy. I highly recommend her services.”
“Morgan was wonderful with our dog Bailey. She made sure Bailey settled in and adjusted well. She kept us updated on her stay. She also quickly and professionally helped me out with my mistake on booking dates. Highly recommend”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellendale
Samantha has been wonderful with our pups! This was Duke’s second stay and he was so excited to go back. It was Amy’s first time, and even though she was a bit hesitant at first, she warmed up quickly and was so comfortable she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Samantha took great care of them, kept us updated, and made everything easy.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ellendale is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $63 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.

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.
95% of sitters in Ellendale 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 Ellendale 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 Ellendale.
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 Ellendale 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 OR 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.
