Becky took care of Silky very well and took him for walks and updated regularly regarding how he was doing. She also picked him up and dropped him off which was very convenient especially with the bad weather with snow at the time.

Melanie was amazing with our dog Jack. She was available in a short period of time and so communicative. Her daughters were also great with him. He seemed so happy and loved his stay! Would stay again!

Once again, we came home to a dog who is happy and not stressed out even though we were gone 10 days. That means a lot to us! Thanks Evan and family!

My cat Cindy is flourishing under Debora's loving care, and Cindy was already doing very well. She is being exposed to new situations at Debora's house and is thriving. It is wonderful to see her so comfortable in Debora's home.

Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.

They took extra special care of Pause and made sure he felt at home. They even sent him home with an extra doggie bag of treats!! He is tired out from all the fun and will be staying over again in the future!

Matt and Samantha were great! They provided lots of updates and pictures which we appreciated so much. We don't leave our pup often so it's comforting to know he's in such good hands. I did reach out due to weather concerns we may need to extend a day. Although we did not need to do that, they were very flexible in offering an additional day if needed.

Shaelea was warm and welcoming to my doggo. I was anxious leaving him at a new person's home, but I had nothing to worry about! He had a great time and came home happy! Shaelea was great with communication and flexible with pickup and drop-off. I would recommend her and would happily board with her again.

This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!

Kevin was absolutely wonderful with my sweet Terry. From the very first day, he kept in constant communication, sharing updates that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear that Terry was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family during the 9 days she stayed with him. I’m so grateful to have found Kevin through Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with Terry again. Highly, highly recommended!

Ryan took great care of our senior Rottweiler (Bruno), who is struggling with arthritis. We were worried about how Bruno would fair while we were gone and Ryan sent us pictures everyday, reassuring us that Bruno was doing well and having a good time. He even sent him home with some homemade treats that Bruno loves. Thank you, Ryan!

FAQs for Boarding - Martensdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Martensdale on Rover is $33.3 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 361 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Martensdale. 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.

93% of Martensdale 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 Martensdale 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 Martensdale 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 Martensdale.

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 Martensdale 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 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.
