“Jasmine had a wonderful time staying with Julia. I appreciate that she treated her like family and cared for her. I will definitely use her services again if she would be available and would be willing. I think Jasmine misses her playmate!”

“Emily was amazing. Incredibly flexible and accomodating. Booked her last minute and she made it very smooth and effortless. Our puppy, Frankie, was clearly well cared for and snuggled. She responded quickly to any questions or messages and sent us pictures during our quick trip out of town. She gave us complete peace of mind. Thanks Emily!”

About: Hi there! Welcome! 🐶❤️ I know our dogs are family, and finding someone you trust to care for them while you're away is so important. My goal is to make your fur baby feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home! I have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs, and I truly enjoy giving pups attention, affection, and a comfortable place to stay. I have a sweet dog of my own, too, and I understand just how much love our furry family members bring into our lives. I offer doggy daycare and overnight boarding in a home environment. I have a separate area for guest dogs, which allows me to keep their space separate from my own dog when needed. I want every pup to have a comfortable stay that suits their individual personality and needs. 🐶 What your pup can expect: Lots of love, attention, and gentle care A comfortable home environment for daycare or overnight stays A separate space from my own dog when needed Care tailored to your dog's routine and personality Photo updates and messages to keep you connected while you're away I know every dog is different, so I’d love to learn about your pup’s personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, and anything else that helps them feel at ease. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is being cared for with kindness and attention. I would love the opportunity to welcome your pup into my home! 🐾💕 Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make time in my daily routine to give the dogs in my care plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Since I care for pets from my home, I can provide a comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I also make sure each dog has a space where they can relax and feel safe. I keep my schedule manageable so I can give every pup the individual care and attention they deserve. 🐾❤️ In my home, I provide a clean, cozy space where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I have a separate area for guest dogs to help keep everyone comfortable and safely separated from my own dog when needed. I follow each owner's instructions for meals, potty breaks, rest, and any special care needs. I have a large privacy fence with a good back yard, so your dog will have a safe place to go potty and have outside time. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how your fur baby is doing!

About: I've been around and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old, which included my own, grandparent's, and in-law's dogs. I am a very compassionate and loving person who will give your dog the care it needs. I'm currently looking to make extra money as I continue to search for a fulltime work from home position. I am available any time after 10 am and available on the weekends. I have a small unfenced yard in a country like setting that is perfect for taking dogs for a walk. I currently don't have a dog of my own but am looking to adopting one soon.

About: Looking for an experienced animal sitter or affordable daycare that is flexible? Woof, I am your gal! From 13 years of combined dog training and behavioral training, I may as well be an animal mind reader! My approaches to pet care are holistic and it doesn't get more organic than loving and working with animals. I've also had many years of experience with small animals, fish and reptiles. If you need a small sitter, I'm all yours! MEET & GREET: I do my meet and greets differently than most. I have TWO meet and greets. The first is with owners alone for a tour of my house, going over routines and any additional care and concerns. This is very helpful as exciting dogs barking can be overwhelming. The second meet and greet is at a basic place like a park or OUTSIDE of dog park. My schedule and routine is pretty flexible, yet still manageable and structured. My daycare hours are Mon-Fri from 8AM to 5:30PM, though I can work around your schedule only on those days. Boarding is available 7 days a week during the night with check in times anywhere 2PM to 7PM, checkouts 8AM next day unless specified otherwise (in the event I am unavailable with a week advance notice). Dog walks and dog check-ins are only Saturday evenings, various hours. BITE POLICY: I understand that accidents happen and I am equipped to handle a bite from a dog/cat as well as ensure the safety of animal to animal bites. If your pet bites me, another person or pet, I will immediately contact you with details of the event. I will report ALL bites to Rover. Depending on the situation, someone will need to pick up pet(s) within 6 hours of contact and bite. It is up to Rover to issue a refund depending on circumstances. You MUST book your request through Rover and MUST pay via Rover for them to ensure a refund. I will NOT refund if you have paid via CashApp, check, Venmo, cash, etc. if you are required to pick up your pet(s). If I assess the situation and feel it's risky to board/sit your pet I will decline future requests. NOTE: You MUST book/CONFIRM your requests via ROVER! When you send your requests to me, I will book it and you must confirm via Rover in order for me to watch your pets. Pending request will be denied of service. NOTE: Boarding is charged by the NIGHT. For example, if you request for me to board your pets Jan 8th thru Jan 17th, they MUST be picked up ON the 17th, not the next day on Jan 18th. Please factor in how late you will arrive and if it's the next day you will have to pay for that night. This works just like a hotel stay. You will be charged a $20 fee for each pet if you need to extend stays. NOTE: Please make sure your pets are free from fleas and parasites! Upon meet and greet provide proof of recent medication, vet summaries, and other remedies. I no longer provide daycare services, only boarding, walks, and check ins. I currently have 5 cats and 1 dog. Walking and at home check ins are anywhere from 1-3 hours Sat evenings. I will walk around neighborhood only if a safe and trusted area. I also will care for cat in home visits. All required is specific walking and care instructions.

“We really felt comfortable leaving our dog Cooper with Eve-she kept us up-to-date with ongoing photos and activities. Our dog made new dog and cat friends, took amazing walks, and got lots of cuddles. Would strongly recommend Eve to other pet owners. .”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Melinda treated our dogs like they were part of her own family, and it was clear they were loved and well cared for while we were away. She spent quality time playing with them and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Leaving our dogs is usually stressful, but Melinda completely put us at ease. Knowing they were happy, safe, and getting so much love made all the difference. We will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!

We loved the care Julia and her family took of our little dog. He was treated very well, was kept safe, and came back very happy. We received photos and updates. I am so happy to have someone trustworthy like her to leave our little dog with.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Jackson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jackson is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $58 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 28 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jackson. 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 Jackson 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 Jackson 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 Jackson.

<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 Jackson 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 MO 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.
