About: I care for every pet as if they were my own—whether they have paws, claws, fins, or feathers! With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I understand that every pet has its own unique personality and needs. I’m skilled in administering medications, supporting senior pets, helping with training routines, and creating calm, loving environments for shy or anxious animals. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I work full-time during the week but make pet care a big part of my daily life. Before and after work, I dedicate time for walks, play, feeding, and cuddles. Evenings and weekends are when I’m fully available for drop-in visits or extended care. Caring for pets is my favorite way to unwind—it brings joy and balance to my week! Whether it’s a quick check-in, a relaxing walk, or some playtime, your pets always get my full attention and love. I care for pets right in their own home, where they feel safest and happiest. By keeping their familiar routines—feeding times, walks, play, and cuddles—I help reduce stress and keep them comfortable while you’re away. I always respect your home and your pet’s space, making sure doors are locked, gates are secure, and everything stays clean and tidy. I treat every home with care and every pet like family—safe, loved, and right where they belong. 🐾💛

About: Throughout the years we have watched family and friends fur babies while they are gone on their trips. I have grown up with animals my whole life. We are on a small average with animals. Daily choring is a must. I work full time during the week, but weekends are free to be able to care for your lovely pets We live on an acreage that has no fenced in yard. Lots of room to roam under supervision. We have an extra kennel if needed to kennel during the night time.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Grand Island on Rover is $29 per night as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $39 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 of September 2026, there are 8 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Grand Island. 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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Grand Island 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 Grand Island.

<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 Grand Island 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 NE 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.
