“Juniper had a wonderful time at Marilee's house. The kids loved on her for the entire time she was there and she came home completely exhausted. I know she would love to go back there next time we need a sitter and I know she will be well cared for.”
“Excellent communication! I loved getting updates and photos of my dogs during their stay with her. It made me feel so much better knowing they were in great hands. Definitely will rebook with her.”
“Tearra was wonderful with my cat! I’d use her again and again. Her updates made me miss my baby a little less for sure. Tearra was great about sending pics, videos and communication. Highly recommend!”
“Linda is so sweet and caring. You can tell she is a true animal lover. She is genuine, I feel good about leaving my dog with her. I appreciate that she's not distracted by other responsibilities and can give my dog all the attention and care he needs and deserves.”
“Samantha did such an amazing job taking care of our dog on short notice. She kept me up to date on how he was the entire time he was in her care. We were so relieved to have found such a caring gal to watch over our guy while on vacation. It was awesome. I will definitely be back”
“Sev loves staying with Brad and "family". He comes home very chill and stress free, which hasn't always been the case....until we met Brad. These people are exceptional care givers for your dog! Thank you!!”
About: I have owned a dog for 6 years, but I've lived around dogs for a long time. I'm that guy that will leave the group at a get together to go say hi to the dog I see across the room or yard. You can trust your dog will be well taken care of and loved I work in the evening time so I will be able to spend the majority of the day with dogs and make sure they receive exercise and attention I go on walks, play fetch, feed, and play with dogs. I make sure they get plenty of exercise and make sure they are fed.
“Just simply amazing! Paris was absolutely the sitter that we all want to leave our pets with. The communication and updates were frequent and comforting. I wish I could somehow leave more stars for an amazing sitter.”
“Shannon was amazing. My 2 labs stayed 4 days with her. She took excellent care of them. My dogs are highly bred for hunting and have a ton of energy. She kept them entertained and let them play all the time. One of my dogs has a FI collar that tracks steps and his steps were up more than 50% of normal. I would recommend Shannon to anyone. Great job!”
“Jaralee was so amazing, I felt completely at ease leaving our dog with her! She spoiled her and sent pictures letting us know how our pup was doing which I appreciated so much. She was also really flexible with our time coming home, as we were on an emergency family trip and weren't exactly sure of our return. We will definitely use Jaralee again if need be!!”
“Robin was amazing with my four cats. They are all on the shy side and mostly hid in her bathroom. They had plenty of room to play and she sent plenty of pictures. She is great with animals and does really well communicating which eased my worries.”
“Krystal is the absolute best of the best! She took the greatest care of our big guys on such short notice. She sent multiple updates on our guys a day, even including pictures for us. Our pups seemed to have an immediate comfort with her which was super reassuring as we left. Krystal took such amazing care of our guys and accepted every little quirk about them (: We will absolutely be requesting repeat services from her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Iona
We left our 1.5 year old dog Lucy with Marilee for 5 days while we went to Alaska. I was a little nervous to start because Marilee has a lot of children and Lucy hasn't been around a lot of kids. Lucy did great and the kids loved here. Marilee's husband mentioned that she is a dog whisperer and I believe it. Lucy had been bored with us every since she came home. She clearly loved being there and we will definitely use Marilee and her family again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Iona is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $55 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. 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 79 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Iona. 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.
95% of sitters in Iona 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 Iona 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 Iona.
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 Iona 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 ID 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.
