“Shannon is exceptional!! Our pup loves being with her and her family and she's always well taken care of. Shannon sent photos and videos and we can tell that our girl loves her (ears back, smiley face, stubby Frenchie tail wagging). Shannon is a great communicator, organized, friendly, accommodating, and overall, just wonderful!! Thank you Shannon, for taking such good care of our girl again. We had no worries at all on our trip!! We appreciate you! :)”
“I can't say enough great things about this experience! We've never boarded our cats so I was nervous on how they would respond. With the daily updates from Elaine on how they were doing it warmed my heart that they seemed to make a new friend. Elaine is incredibly warm and fantastic with our cats. Such a gift for us to have her care for them!”
“Another stay at Walee for our Mosel. This time when we brought Mosel home she was sad and missed Walee and her family. After a few days and she was back to normal. Now we know we have found Mosels second family, and have no worries when we have to leave her behind. Thank you Walee we will be back.”
“Alyssa was wonderful. Accommodations are 5 star and the love and care she gave our fur baby was also 5 star. We enjoyed our 2 week visit to my family so much more knowing Maple was taken care and loved while we were gone. Alyssa also sent us photos which we really enjoyed getting. Highly recommend and will never take Maple anywhere else now that we have Alyssa as a resource.”
“Joe and Patti are so great! They took really great care of our older dog Koda. Sent us several pictures and really made us feel comfortable. So happy to have found them!”
“Sharon and Henry were absolutely wonderful with Tony! They were incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative throughout his stay. They sent us so many pictures and kept us updated on everything — how he was sleeping, eating, his potty routine, and how he was doing overall. Their updates made us feel like Tony was right there with us even while we were away. It was so reassuring to know he was getting so much love and attention. We’re incredibly grateful to Sharon and Henry and would absolutely trust them with Tony again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”
“For our pup’s first Rover stay we couldn’t ask for anyone better than Sharon. Our doggy can be a worry wart and pretty anxious, but she seemed to handle him with ease and gave him all the attention he needs. She sent us pictures everyday which was super helpful and sweet. Sharon will definitely be our go-to for future bookings! Thank you Sharon!”
“Alesya, it's a fantastic discovery for our family. Our one-year-old Maltese Snowie has a great time staying with her and her family. I felt great when I met her! She is a lovely, responsible person. She also sends me daily reports, videos, and pictures of our little girl while she watches her. We definitely will book her again and refer her to our friends 🥰”
“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”
“Mike is by far the most caring, flexible, and genuine dog lover/sitter we have met. We do not look elsewhere, Mike is the best. I consider him a good friend now, our dog certainly does.”
“I left my German Shepherd, Buddy, with Lori and Mike, and they did an excellent job watching him. They have a nice enclosed backyard where Buddy enjoyed frolicking and exploring. Buddy is an older dog and has some extra needs, including medications, and all his needs were well taken care of. Buddy came home happy and mellow as usual. I will definitely use their services again should I need them.”
“Ruchi & Family are great dog sitters! They kept in touch with me throughout each day of my dog’s stay and sent pictures. My dog was well cared for, played with and provided lots of attention. Ruchi paid special attention to my request to not give our dog any treats because he has a sensitive stomach and could get sick. We appreciate all the extra care! We will be repeat customers!”
“Lisa took good care of our big Great Pyrenees mix. He can get a little overstimulated and very curious when meeting new people and dogs, so we appreciated her patience and willingness to work with him. Once he settles in, he’s very sweet and loves to play (and roughhouse a bit), but he also enjoys winding down and relaxing. She handled his personality well, kept us updated, and made sure he was safe and cared for. Overall, we’re glad we found someone who could watch him and give him the attention he needs.”
“5 Stars all around! Deborah was AMAZING. She was great with my Doodle (Louie). Kept him engaged, playing…. Excellent communication. She sent pics each day showing Louie in action! What he was doing. I can’t say enough of the peace of mind I had while Louie was in Deborah’s care. Truly appreciate her!”
“Nanci was the absolute best! Continuously gave us updates on Buddy and even took care of a medical issue he had. I never once felt worried about him because he was clearly given tons of love and attention. Thank you Nanci!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jayhawk
Elaine is a special person that truly understands dogs. This was the first time we left our 4 year old Marley in a home with multiple dogs. We did a meet and greet with Elaine and felt very comfortable that she understood his uneasiness with new people and new dogs. She gave him the space and reassurance that he needed and after a few days he was right at home. We had such a good experience that we are going to bring him for doggie daycare at her home to keep the good vibe going. Thank you so much Elaine!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jayhawk is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $65 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Jayhawk 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 Jayhawk 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 Jayhawk.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jayhawk. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Jayhawk 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 CA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
