Jenny watched Iceland just for a night but he had a fun time! She sent photos of her dogs and my dog interacting and it was so nice to see. She took care of him and had no issues. Definitely recommend!

Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.

Where do I start!? This was our first time going away and having to leave our Megan! She’s an elder fur baby and we couldn’t think of anyone who would properly take care of her. We turned to rover and it may sound strange but when I saw Barbra picture I knew she would be perfect! She sent pictures, and updates constantly! Our Megan looked so happy and taken care of! I am so pleased with her service and I will definitely be using Barbra in the future! Thanks a MILLION Barbra we appreciate you more than you know!

We won't use anyone but Tiffany. Our dog loves her and makes new doggy friends with every visit. Tiffany is great, down to earth, but professional. She's great about sending pics and videos with updates.

This was Khloe's first time being boarded and what a great experience. Her first meeting with Candice went so well that when it came time for her to actually stay we were totally comfortable. Candice sent pics and kept in contact with us throughout Khloe's stay. I will definitely use her again.

Myra was very professional and took notes of everything i said and followed them. She also gave me detailed updates often including information of what activities they did, what food and how much my dog ate, when he peed and pooped. Sent me videos and pictures of my dog. And it reduced my worries to my baby fur while i was gone for a day. Myra was so loving that she even slept close to my dog so my dog wont feel lonely. Amazing experience and Will definitely book again!

Zackie is an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter! She accepted my last-minute booking and seamlessly accommodated my unpredictable travel plans. Throughout Simba’s stay, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear he received top notch care and fit right in with her family. I HIGHLY recommend her. Your pet will be treated with genuine love and outstanding care.

Emily was amazing with my furbabies, she made sure to be attentive to their every need. She treated my furbabies as her own, I was so please on all the photos that she sent me while I was away, to ease my separation anxiety, lol. My furbabies loved her, and I really, loved her set up and how she manages her time with each individual furbaby. Thank you so much Emily, for taking care of my furbabies, I would definately leave them with Emily again.

We were pleased with Kari & Joey watching our fur baby Mila. This was our first time using them and we look forward toward using them frequently. Mila enjoyed the family, especially being around the kids. Kari is a natural loving dog sitter, very personable while making sure you feel good leaving your pet in her care. Our fur baby, Mila enjoyed staying with Kari& Joey.

Jen and her husband were incredible! We could tell they loved on our dog so much like he was their own dog. This was our first time leaving our new dog (who has separation anxiety) with a pet sitter, so we were nervous, but Jen helped make us feel so at ease! She was very communicative, giving us multiple updates and photos every day and responding quickly to messages from us. She really listened to us and our dog’s needs, for instance, giving him more space at first since he can be shy with strangers. Overall, she went above and beyond for him—giving him treats to help him adjust and get used to her, taking him to play fetch at the tennis court, letting him play with a toy stash of hers, cuddling him in her bed, providing a giant fluffy beanbag chair for him to sit in, etc. My dog loved it so much that I think he was a little sad to leave! We will definitely use this sitter again!

Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of my Baxter! It was my first trip away from Baxter. Brooke and her dogs kept him busy and happy. She had a nice big fenced in yard so they could play. She sent pictures and videos as well. I highly recommend Brooke and will be using her again!

About: My farm is a beautiful sanctuary that we love to share with all furry friends! Whether they want to splash in the pool, run outside in a safe CLEAN secure area, or just have a nice snuggle in their indoor kennel or maybe even stretch out on the couch- just know they’ll be wagging to come back! I have 6 horses on the property, 13 chickens, 2 turkeys, 2 outdoor barn cats, and my Friendly Laid back dog Archie. I provide love & care which is more important than anything else. But of course- I follow parents rules! My entire life revolves around my farm and caring for all of my animals. I am on the property 24/7 as this is my full time job. And luckily it’s my passion. We have a beautiful fenced in pasture with lots of space to run. We are in a very private and rural area. We also have a pool- only if parents are OK and the Pup chooses to take a dip! Your Pup will always be supervised. If there are restrictions we will always abide by them. We also have dog crates if needed or requested and a beautiful inside area as well. Basically your Pup is gonna have free range and feel a home away from home.

“I can’t thank Olinda enough for the amazing care she gave Ollie! From the moment we arrived, I could tell how excited and happy he was to be around her. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs shine through. It’s such a relief to know Ollie was in such good hands.

Rackeem was awesome with my dogs while I was on vacation! He took excellent care of my fur babies and I highly recommend him! He provides daily updates and pictures so you can be assured your pets are safe and doing well while in his care. He's also a great trainer as well! He helped my very active 14 month old pup 🐶 stop pulling so much while on our walks.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hartly

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hartly on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hartly. 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.

95% of Hartly 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 Hartly 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 Hartly 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 Hartly.

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 Hartly 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 DE 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.
