“Michelle and her family have been a godsend to our family. Not only have their family been wonderful to work with, our dog gets treated just like family while there. Her son has even formed a special bond with our dog. I highly recommend her and we won't ever look back at doing the typical dog kennels again!”
“Alesia was available on short notice, very flexible, and took wonderful care of our dog! Her communication was fantastic and extremely quick and we also appreciated the photo updates. We would not hesitate to use her again!”
“My 2 dogs love staying with Mikayla and Jerad. Always happy to see them and happy when I pick them up. It’s like they’re at home (get spoiled and lovin) which makes me happy.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Tracy & her family! They took amazing care of our dogs, Willow & Zoey, while we were away. From the daily updates and photos to the extra attention they gave, it was clear our pups were in loving hands. Willow & Zoey came home happy, calm, and well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with Tracy again and highly recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
“Christina B is an absolute Rockstar hero. She and her family helped my boy and I when in a tough spot. They truly extend themselves around those that come into their care. I picked him up and though he was excited to see me I know they made their home his too. I cannot express enough gratitude for her professionalism and care.”
“Zach was great and put all my anxieties at ease!! Instantly knew my dog was in good hands with him. He updated me with pictures of my boy and his communication was great! Would 100% recommend him to anyone!”
“Linsey is so awesome! Definitely first class service and took such great care of my guy, so much so that he would want to stay forever! Thank you Linsey for the peace of mind while I’m out of town and taking such great care of Koda! We will be rebooking anytime I need to travel in the future.”
“Alexis is super sweet! Karl absolutely loved his time at their house! He played with their dog and was having the time of his life! I will absolutely book with them again!”
“Shayla took excellent care of my dog, Sadie. She has a beautiful big fenced yard where Sadie and her dog played together. Every day, Shayla sent me texts with pictures and an explanation of how Sadie was doing. That was very thoughtful of her. I know Sadie will love to go back there again.”
“We booked with Lezlie a last minute 3 days board sitting for our dog Pete. She was supper accommodating and took great care of Pete. We appreciate all the pictures and how we were kept informed about his day. We can tell he had a great time! And would love to rebook with her next time.”
“Heather was so great watching our dog Buster! They were very welcoming to him. She sent me some pictures and updates about how he was doing throughout his stay which was so nice! Heather is super fast with communication and was flexible with what we needed for drop off and pick up. Overall it was a really great experience! I would definitely recommend Heather and we would absolutely have our dog stay with her family again!”
“Jack had an amazing time with Elizabeth and Henry. The updates and pictures were awesome, Jack may have had a better time on his vacation than my son and I did. Thank you so very much! 10/10 will book again.”

About: I’ve grown up with medium to large dogs my entire life. My best friend was a goofy Great Dane who I had him for all 9 years of his life. We would go on long walks around the 2 college campuses I live next to. I have my own house with plenty of space and yard to run around in. I have a large couch and an extra large bed that I don’t mind them being on. I like to keep a relaxed lifestyle perfect for a dog to relax at while you are away. I also have 2 dog friendly cats and one really loves to play around and chase and get chased by the dogs I’ve watched in the past. I am always taking care of my 2 cats and when I had a dog we would go out every 5-6 hours and take walks 3-4 times a week. The animals in my life have always been my number 1 priority. I have multiple leashes and would never take a dog out without it on. I also have multiple litter boxes for the cats. I also have multiple floors for the cats to stay on if someone doesn’t get along with another.
“Loved having a place to drop our dog off with a few other dogs that are already comfortable in the space. Bobbi also did a great job keeping us updated and sharing lots of pictures! Definitely gave us more peace of mind with leaving our fur-baby behind.”
“Braden and Grace were both easy and pleasant to work with. Communication was timely and easy, they were very accommodating with the pet sitting arrangement (I blew a tire and ended up being late to arrive, which they were patient and kind about), and my dog Winnie seemed to enjoy her time there in a safe and comfortable home :)”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Larchwood is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $47 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.

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 Larchwood 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 Larchwood 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 Larchwood.
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 Larchwood 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 IA 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.
