“Kena was wonderful with my little one, sending me pictures throughout the day. My little one also very happy to spend time with her own son, and they both had a great time together. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“This was Archie’s third stay with Yessenia, and as always, he came home a very happy dog! It is such a gift to be able to leave your fur baby with a kind, communicative person who you know your dog is happy and safe with. Thank you Yessenia!”
“Tiffany was amazing! She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates. We really love that we found someone that we were confident in knowing our Maxine was in great hands! Thanks Tiffany! We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Our boys had a great time with Mitchell and we were updated regularly with pictures and reports on how they were doing. So glad we booked with her, will definitely book with her again!”
“Forest is awesome!!! We were quite skeptical because we had left our dog William with others and it was a disaster. We met up with Forest and let will meet him. They hit it off almost immediately. Forest is professional, responsible, caring and really takes his role seriously. He once told me, “ I want your dog to come back to you as healthy and happy as he was dropped off to me.” I felt that! Will is like my child and I worry when we are away, but I know if he is with Forest (and Norma-who Will absolutely adores) I KNOW he is getting the best possible care. He even sends me pictures and updates. Thank you Forest for taking great care of our fur baby when we have to be away!”
“She was absolutely amazing with my pup! She followed his routine, gave plenty of playtime and attention, and sent me lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciated. He had a great time playing with her dogs too! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her if your looking for such amazing care.”
“Lynette was nothing less than fantastic. Scout was happily exhausted and seems to have made some new friends. Lynette sent frequent updates and let us share in the fun with pictures.”
“Mary did a wonderful job with our dogs. They seem to be very content over at her house and in her amazing yard. She sent me updates and pictures daily and at night when Sara got a little bit cold, they gave her an extra blanket to make sure she was comfortable. Definitely plan on using her for a longer term next time.”
“I highly recommend Leslie. While I was out of town, she sent me pictures of Kobi. She reassured me that he was being taken care of. She sent a video of Kobi playing with the family. I will certainly use her again.”
“Melissa and Shaun were awesome! I’m very glad I found them so last minute and were able to take all four of my pups. They had a good layout with the kennels for boarding, in the shade and about 2-3 different dogs runs. I have a mix of large and very small pups and she was able to attend to them appropriately with the little ones separate and closely with her. Thank you again! Hope to book again soon!”
“I am so happy that I found Mark. He was wonderful with our dogs. He kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. Our vacation was so much better not having to worry if our dogs were ok. They had a blast! I will definitely be using Mark again.”
“Giovanna was wonderful with my senior, diabetic dog. She took good care of her and gave her all the medications while I was gone. I felt relieved to see pictures of her every day. Giovanna is a very caring person and I highly recommend.”
“Cynthia took great care of my little girl! She’s very polite, professional and caring. I will trust her to care for my fur babies whenever needed in the future. She sent me updates and pictures every day.”
“Julie was easy to communicate with & answered some last minute questions I had the day of his first stay. Drop off/pick up scheduling was easy & our dog loved his stay! Will definitely recommend for all future pet sitting needs!”
“Megan was great. She was very comfortable with doggy behaviors especially with my restless dogs getting there after a 500 mile drive. She didn’t hesitate to jump right in. They were happy and well cared for!”
About: I have a well-behaved and outgoing doggy that would love to have friends over to play with! I would love to help out families with providing walks and adequate care for your fur babies! I’m happy to provide accommodations if necessary! I have the availability throughout the day to assist families on walking their pets and letting them out for exercise. I accept walks, boarding in my home, and drop in visits and last minute walks. I make sure to follow all the rules given, treat their pets as if they were my own pet, and be respectful to my client’s home.
“Our pup was very happy in Delila’s care and playing her fellow doodle! Delila was very responsive and updated us with a photo each day. Planning to book again in the near future!”
“Ashley is amazing. She kept us updated all the time. She did us pictures and she gave us Ashley detailed Report Card of Lagers stay. We really love that written report. For sure Lager will stay there again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 128 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nelson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Nelson 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 Nelson 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 Nelson.
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 Nelson 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.
