Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.

About: I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a great space for your fur baby to play! I’ve owned a lot of different dogs breeds my entire life ranging in size from a chihuahua to a golden retriever. I love routine and will follow your dog care needs exactly how they’re used to. They will receive a ton of love, cuddles and play time from me and my three animal loving kids. We have 5 acres of yard space to play and maintained walking trails in the back of our property for daily walks. I will only accept dogs that are potty trained and good with little kids. I’m happy to administer medication, give treats and give you plenty of updates on how they are doing as I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. I can give frequent bathroom breaks and follow whatever schedule your dog is used too I have a very large yard to run and play in and have well maintained grass walking trails on my property. Your dog(s) will receive a lot of love and attention.

My goldendoodles Sam and Gertie had a great time staying with Tina while we were on our vacation! We knew they were being well taken care of. Tina sent daily pictures and updates. She even sent us home with some pill pockets for Sam’s medicine! Tina was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Her house was lovely and clean with plenty of dog beds and toys. We will definitely use Tina in the future.

We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!

Samantha took great care of our two spoiled golden retrievers. She communicated and sent pictures daily. Our pups have a few special needs and Samantha made sure they were completely taken care of and well loved at the same time. I highly recommend Samantha as an awesome sitter. We will use her services again in the future. Thank you!!

From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.

We were totally satisfied with our experience with Leslie and the Rover website. Leslie was more than knowledgeable about pet care and safety. Her Golden is a true sweetheart that would get alone with any dog. She has a nice fenced backyard with plenty of room to play. She sent us daily pics that eased our minds immensely knowing our two were enjoying themselves. We will definitely be using Leslie in the future and are thankful we found her and her services. Two thumbs up!!

Always love the updates Loni provides to make sure my pup is doing amazing - already have the next visit planned and I know ember is excited already!

We had a great experience with Caitlin as a sitter. She was able to accommodate our last minute request and made us comfortable about leaving our Bernedoodle in her care. With a fenced in yard she got lots of outside time and exercise. I’m sure we will be booking again in the future.

We left town with complete peace of mind knowing Cameron would take great care of our fur baby. The regular photo updates gave us the reassurance we needed while we were away, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated Cameron’s reliability and excellent communication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Keylor and Grace were amazing! We needed a sitter for our English Bulldog while we were away on vacation. They were such a nice couple who were very welcoming, attentive, and accommodating for the 11 days we were gone. They took such good care of Maggie.

We are very pleased with the care Gracie and Keylor gave to our Molly dog while we were away. They sent us pictures and updates about how she was getting along. They have a nice fenced in backyard. They are very kind and we would definitely leave our fur baby with them next time we need care for Molly.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Mount Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mount Vernon on Rover is $55.5 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 188 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mount Vernon. 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.

97% of Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon.

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 Mount Vernon 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 OH 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.
