“Katelyn was great with my Layla & Ginger! She was very responsive and sent pictures. I could tell from the pictures my dogs were being well cared for. I will certainly allow Katelyn to keep my dogs again!”
“Ashley and her family took incredible care of my dog while I was out of town. They sent me daily updates of how he was doing and made him feel so welcomed in their home!”
“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”
“Excellent feedback throughout my trip. Friendly, personable and I believe she took very good care of my baby girl. Lots of pictures. Lots of follow-up. Wonderful experience”
“Dee was a wonderful sitter for our dog while we were away. He had a nice, pampered vacation with her, and her pups, and it was nice to see he could make himself at home, in her home.”
“Kimber and her family were wonderful sitters for our two pups. The home was perfect with a fenced in backyard and our pups received so much love and care while we were gone for over a week. They will be the first people we reach out to if our dogs need to be watched again. Thanks so much for taking great care of Kiko and Mishka.”
“Staci is an absolute Gem!! I couldnt ask for better care for my baby. She treated our baby like family, and held avid contact, including pictures, updates and any concerns she had. I would recommend Staci to ALL of my friends and family if they needed care for their babies and will DEFFINITELY be using her services again very soon!!! Thank you so much Staci for being so amazing.”
“Bobbie is very kind. She went above and beyond to make sure Zuzu was well cared for. She reached out when she had concerns about how much Zuzu was eating. Her granddaughters were adorable and so good with Zuzu.”
“Once again, another wonderful Rover week for Riley! We feel so confident that he's being well cared for when we go on vacation. Definite peace of mind. Thank you Aimee and Derek!”
“Lori is a great caregiver, and very responsive to anything you or your pet may need. My pup had a lot of fun with her, and came home tired after swimming, which is one of her favorite activities! It was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous but very happy with her, and was reassured by the photos she sent to me. I will definitely be using Lori in the future!”
“Lauren is the best! We got daily pictures and videos. She was extremely accommodating when our flight was canceled. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and Megan made this a stress free experience. She worked with our last minute booking and easily coordinated our meet and greet. We especially appreciated her quick responses to any messages. I can’t say enough of her welcoming personality and comfy dog friendly home. Our dog seemed instantly at home here. I loved all the pictures, videos and updates. Megan truly cared for our dog and spent so much time walking and playing with him. I feel very fortunate to have found her and will definitely book her in the future.”
“This was “Beans” first stay with Veronica and Damian. My Beanie Boy was not stressed at all when I picked him up, that tells me that Beans was comfortable and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the care he received.”
About: With over 27 years of hands on personal and professional animal care, loving pets isn’t just what I do, it's who I’ve been since getting my very first hamster at 3 years old. From dog and cat companions to farm and exotic animals, my entire life has centered around the comfort, happiness, and well being of almost every type of animal. In California, I spent 6 years managing a horse ranch, followed by 12 years managing a pet store and working closely with local dog and cat rescue organizations. Over the years, I also built a dedicated following of beloved "pup-stomers" through years of professional in home boarding and private house sitting. After relocating 4 years ago to grow our family, I am thrilled to open my schedule again to offer you the attentive, love and peace of mind they deserve while you are away. Experience with administering medications and special diets including raw food. I am a stay at home mom to 3 children, meaning I am always home and readily available. We spend lots of time playing in our huge fenced in backyard, so your pet will receive constant supervision and companionship. I have plenty of balls, frisbees, and toys ready to go! A daily walk is included (weather permitting, if desired), and I am more than happy to stick to your dog's regular feeding and care routine. I pride myself on being flexible, accommodating, and quick to send photo updates as often as you’d like throughout the day. Your fur baby will be included with our family all day, including walks, rather than a traditional boarding facility. Your dog is welcome to sleep on their own full-size bed in the guest room, on the couch, or crate (if desired)! I am also very experienced with crate training, puppies and seniors. I only want one dog at a time (or 1 family with 2 dogs) to give personalized care.
“I found my and my dog’s soul mate. Calvin, Mini and myself fell in love with her at our first meeting. Juli was so wonderful with my dogs! She loved on them as if they were her own. They have never stayed with a stranger before but she was so good with them they made themselves at home right away. Pictures and updates came everyday. Juli is an excellent photographer, she took better pictures of my boys than I can. They had their walk everyday and loved it. Her yard is perfect for dogs. Two sides, one for small dogs and one for big dogs. Both have their own doggie doors. My little Poms decided they liked going out with her big dogs, and you can’t tell a Pom what they are supposed to do. I never had one concern while on vacation, Juli kept me a perfect peace about my dogs. I will definitely be a return customer.”
“Phedre is so great with our 2 year old Australian Shepherd...and he is a handful! He loves being with her. Phedre is very responsible and responsive. I highly recommend her!”
“Michelle was amazing. Luna was so excited to be there and she sent multiple updates! When I picked Luna up she was so calm and relaxed because she had the best time ever. Her house is perfect for the pups!! Thank y’all so so much!!”

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Po! I really appreciated all the updates and pictures. They made me feel so much better knowing he was in good hands. I loved seeing how much fun he seemed to be having during his stay. Thanks again for taking such good care of him!
This was our first time using Rover. It went very smooth. Rover makes it easy for two way communication with the sitter. Kimber was great to send pics and let us know all was well while we were away. Kimber’s house became our dog’s home away from home in no time. That reassurance was wonderful. We will definitely use Kimber again.
We moved to Star, Idaho in June of 2025 and I was really nervous about finding a new pet sitter for my 11 year old mixed breed Havanese. Bella is my world and I don't trust her with just anyone, so in my search I finally found the right match for her. She can't see or hear very well, but after going on Rover.com and looking at all the reviews I decided to have a meet and greet with Michelle. It went very well. We go out of town every year for about 9 days and I really wanted a home setting with other dogs so she wouldn't get lonely. Michelle sent a number of pictures daily and it seemed like Bella was acclimating very well after the first day or two. This was a huge change for Bella but she made herself at home pretty quickly. Michelle's house is very dog friendly and she even put Bella in a crate near her bed as I do at home. Can't thank her enough and I will definitely use her again!
Abraham was very attentive and helpful. This was my first time using Rover and looked carefully at profiles to handle my pet's needs. Abraham was very conforming to the special diet, medication, and physical imitations requirements for 15 year old chihuahua. He sent photos and updates as the stay progressed. I got a detailed summary of the visit at pickup and would not hesitate to book him again.
Lauren is an excellent sitter and someone we would absolutely love to work with again. When a minor incident occurred during our dog’s stay, she handled the situation with such grace and competence that it put us completely at ease. She’s communicative and responsible and will take great care of your pup. We’re so happy we booked with her and we know our dog had a wonderful time.
Great experience! She took wonderful care of our 9-month-old Aussiedoodle for 24 hours. She was very flexible, communicated well, and sent us a picture of him playing in the backyard, which really put us at ease since it was his first night away from home. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Meridian is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $56 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 of November 2026, there are 543 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Meridian. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Meridian 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 Meridian 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 Meridian.
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 Meridian. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Meridian 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 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.
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.
