“I’m so grateful we found Natalia to board our two dogs, Charles (8.5yrs, lab mix) and Hooper (<1yr, lab mix.) Natalia kept excellent communication, she was so friendly and flexible with our schedule, and had a genuine enthusiasm for our dogs and her own. When we picked our dogs up they were SO happy and tired after a fun-filled couple of days. Natalia gave us wonderful peace of mind while we were gone, and that is PRICELESS! We’ll 100% book her again and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“This is our first time using Rover and Mo and we are SO impressed! Mo and her family were so kind and sent us photos of our pups during their stay! She stayed in communication with us the whole time and my dogs had the most amazing time! We can’t wait to use Mo again in the future!”
“Erin was incredible! She messaged me throughout my trip and made my dog feel SO loved. I could that my dog was well taken care of because of the pictures of messages I received throughout her stay. I will definitely be using Erin again the next time I need to board my dog!”
“Gina took such good care of our dog Tater! We got lots of fun pictures and videos of Tater playing, going for walks, and having a good time with the other dogs. We had a last minute change in travel plans and she was friendly about accommodating a new drop off time too. Thank you Gina!”
“They were wonderful and our sweet, old pup came back happy. She enjoyed her sunray naps there, and I loved getting updates with pictures. I whole heartedly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“We have used Nicole multiple times! She is very responsive, friendly and flexible! Our dog, Teddy always enjoys his time there! He loves their huge fenced in yard and playing with their dogs and kids. He feels right at home:) Our kids love seeing the picture updates Nicole sends too.”
“Susan was great! She kept us informed and sent many pictures. She and her family kept our pups happy and well entertained. Thanks for taking such great care of our golden girls!”
“Brittany was very friendly and allowed a 'meet and greet' before we formally agreed to boarding our dogs with her. We felt like she and her family understood golden retriever personality and activity level. She was great about sending pictures and updates. I was able to relax on vacation knowing that they were in good hands and having fun playing! Will definitely book again!”
“Alma fue excelente cuidadora para Dublín, siempre estuvo en comunicación y enviando fotos de cómo iba el día. Dublín fue muy consentido el tiempo que estuvo con Alma. Super recomendada ❤️”
“Matt and his family were so kind and caring. I knew Aspen was in good hands staying there. Matt provided updates and pictures and we were in regular communication. Thank you for a great stay, I know she had a good time!”
About: Hello, How it all began. I grew up in a rural setting with multiple dogs, indoor and outdoor cats and for a few years chickens. One specific dog named Maxine was a beautiful intelligent, gentle Doberman that stole my heart. The bond I shared with her was special and she was my best friend. I knew from a young age I wanted to take care of animals. Fast forward, I'm a parent to 3 active kids, 2 sleepy cats, and 2 dogs (Pablo & Van). Over the past 10 years we've had a guinea pig, dwarf frogs, a hamster, and a Betta fish as well. A few years ago our family fostered 11 sweet dogs and 2 kittens. We have done in home care for a friends pup when they went out of town. My oldest daughter and I volunteered at the Lawrence Humane Society in the past for a year. Our big family of animal lovers would love to care for your pet. I work from home each week. This gives me ample availability to care for your pet. My husband is also available multiple days a week and our two high schoolers are usually home in the evenings each day to give extra snuggles to your pet. We have a fenced in backyard. The back fence wall is a 6ft privacy fence, the side fences are chain link. They will have access to the backyard at any time.
“Anna and the crew were great with Timothee. I felt like he got an amazing Pack experience with them and gained a few social skills along the way. These guys know how to manage a group of dogs and if that's what you are seeking - look no further!! They have plenty of space and lots of room to run!! We'll be back for more "dog camp" in the future!!”
“Sarah and Cyrus were wonderful! They were so accommodating with taking care of my dog and giving her meds every night without hesitation. They sent pictures and updates daily and loved on my dog so much. Would definitely have them watch my dog again!”
“Iryna was fantastic. Will use her again as often as she is available. Her communication was phenomenal, she treated Midas with so much love like one of her own pet. I really appreciate her, and feel so lucky to Have found her.”
“I could tell my pup was well taken care during her time with Donald & Affton. If possible they will be the ones I’ll have her start with every time I need Rover!”
“Lucy made sure my dog Penny got lots of love and attention! Pretty sure Penny didn’t even miss me while I was gone. I loved getting picture updates everyday! Would definitely pick Lucy again to take care Penny”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gardner on Rover is $34.24 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 900 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gardner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
92% of Gardner sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Gardner 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 Gardner 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 Gardner.
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 Gardner 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 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.
