My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.

Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.

Ali was so great with our dog! She was flexible and easy to work with and made sure she knew a lot about our dog’s routines before our trip. We loved knowing he was being well taken care of while we were gone! We would highly recommend her and plan to check with her again the next time we’re gone! You and your pets will love her too!

Brandon was a great dog sitter for the week and half we were gone! He gave our Wheaten all of the walks and play he needed. Brandon kept in touch with updates and was easy to communicate with. He loved our dog like his own, and I’m sure our Wheaten would love to go back next time we need a sitter!

About: I have been a pet lover for many years! I enjoy helping out, taking them for walks benefits both of us! Emotional care and play are just as important. I currently work full time from home. I enjoy sitting outside and working in the garden, incorporating play time into our outdoor time is always a must. I have a large unfenced yard, with 3 fur friends of my own to play and show boundaries! I am good at implementing rules or training goals you have for your pet!

About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!

About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.

Alicia was responsive and took great care of Harry while we were away. He came home happy and tired, which is a nice combo. :) It was nice to know he was in a house with other pets and kiddos to play with.

About: My husband and I have 8 Huskies that we have rescued. I have a ton of patience and lots of love. Your dog will be considered as part of our pack. I will be the one taking care of your baby. I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Pella

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pella on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 29 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pella. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter 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.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Pella 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 Pella.

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 Pella 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.
