About: Dogs have been an important part of my life since childhood. I am a gentle person and will provide a warm, caring environment full of healthy homemade food, long walks in the wilderness, and companionship. I understand your dog will be missing you so I welcome your FaceTime calls plus I’ll send you daily photos of your best friend. I’m happy to follow any guidance from you as you know your pet needs. If medication is needed I’ll provide proof of compliance. I understand how important your dog is and how it will be an honor to gain your trust I am a stay at home mom with two active healthy dogs, so I’m able to provide care seven days a week. I am a chef who knows how to provide healthy food to both my family and my pets. I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a child and I believe they provide us with care and comfort Daily homemade food, daily walks, lots of toys to play with, a fenced backyard, and sometimes even children come over to play with the dogs.
“My dog seemed happy during her stay while we were vacationing in the area. Heidi had great communication with quick responses and accommodated the times we needed for drop off and pick up. I appreciated the pictures she sent. It was nice to have our dog with a family rather than in a kennel. Would recommend and use again if we head that way. Thank you!”
“Wendy and Jacob were wonderful to work with! We had to leave our dog, Maple, with them for a week, shortly after a long move to the area. Before and upon returning they kept us updated with how Maple was handling the transition with texts and photos. Our dog loved her stay with them and was happy, healthy and her anxiety seemed way less then when we left her! We will definitely use Wendy and Jacob again for future stays!”
“Kim and David were wonderful with our dog, Scout. Their home was very comfortable and he clearly enjoyed his visit with them. They were very attentive to his needs and even treated his eye when it became irritated while we were away. We look forward to having them keep him again when we travel in the future.”
“Suzi took really good care of Maggie. We really appreciated her care of our dog just as she was getting over a stomach bug and was on a special diet. We saw how active they were as Suzi sent us pics from the daily hikes - rain (mostly) or shine! We could see how happy our pup was on those hikes.. Our Maggie seemed very happy being with a welcoming family who gave her attention, exercise and cuddles. Maggie was comfortable with their family dog as well. In fact, she was not overly anxious to leave! Suzi has a nice property for a dog to explore and hike. Thank you so much for treating our pup as family! We will definitely re-book with you.”
“My pups have never been away from us or family before, but we had to place them for a week due to an out of state funeral. Serena sent pictures each day and the pups came home happy! Serena was referred to us by a couple-worker and I also highly recommend her. Very dog friendly home...”
“Tally had a great time with Mary and her family! Mary and her daughter came to the gate to greet us for drop off and pick up, and we got picture updates every day of Tally’s stay. Definitely recommended.”
“Miriam was absolutely wonderful with my dog Daisy. Miriam and her entire family worked around Daisy’s special needs and gave her the best time ever. I’m pretty sure Daisy did not want to return home after spending 3 days in doggy heaven with Miriam.”
“Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and gave great check ins on how my pup was doing. She is incredibly kind, patient and caring to both pup and owner alike. I find myself so lucky to have found her! 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and ages. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m committed to providing personalized care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student on summer break with a completely flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the week. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.
“Abby takes pet care to a level I never thought possible, she is the best we’ve ever found, and our dog June adores her like a beloved family member. Abby’s love for animals runs so deep and it shows in the absolute top-level care and attention she gives to fur babies. She also lives a non-toxic lifestyle and is an expert on human and pet nutrition, so we feel so safe and at peace whenever our dog is with her— no chemical exposures, no weird fragrances when we get our dog back (which has been an issue with pet sitters in the past), and we know our dog is getting the most nourishing, high-quality food and treats when she’s with Abby. Abby has even helped guide us on tweaking our dog’s diet for better outcomes, and at 7.5 years old, our dog June has never been healthier and so vibrant, which we attribute to Abby’s help. Abby is passionate about giving dogs the utmost in outdoor adventures and healthy socialization when she’s caring for them, and our June comes home from her house so fulfilled, balanced and at peace (in the past with other pet sitters our dog has come home more anxious and on edge, but this is certainly never the case with Abby on watch). Abby also keeps up on communication and check-ins when we’re away, sending pictures and updates, and my gosh what a magical life these pets have when they are with Abby! It’s a dog’s dream!!! We have so much peace of mind when we leave our dog June with Abby, which is something every pet owner deserves to feel when they’re away for a while. Abby is an angel, and the warmth and love she provides in her home is incredible, it’s not something you see often. I can think of no one better to leave your beloved fur babies with. When people say she’s a dog whisperer, they aren’t kidding. See for yourself. She’s amazing.”
“Hallie took great care of our small senior pup, Finnegan while we were away. She sent lots of photos (which we loved) of their adventures. Lots of walks & even some beach time! We will definitely be reaching out again in the future if you need care.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of any kind since I was sixteen working at a doggy daycare and grooming service let me take care of your babies today! I have just moved to Ponderay and am excited to show my skill! I've been in pet care since I was sixteen including dog grooming I treat every dog like my best friend I treat any animal as if they were my own;giving them love and all the attention they would need not to mention play time outside
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mikey. I left my two dogs with her, a senior dog and an almost 1 year old puppy and I had no doubts that they would be taken care of when I dropped them off. I got pictures and videos frequently but that’s not what set her apart. My senior dog required a little more patience and maintenance and she took such good care of him. My puppy had the worst timing when she got her first cycle two days after we left. I offered to send supplies and profusely apologized but Mikey told me not to worry and instead told me to enjoy my vacation. My two dogs were probably a little more work then I thought but she never made me feel bad about it. I would recommend 100 %.”
“Our young dog Wilda had a great time and received excellent care at Angela’s. She sent pics and updates that gave us confidence and reassurance our dog was safe and happy. I would highly recommend Angela’s dog camp!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Ponderay is $50

Hallie is amazing. She was very responsive over the app/via text message. I really appreciated her flexibility in picking up my dog after my trip - I was a little behind schedule and she so kindly waited for me and had everything ready to go as soon as I arrived. My dog loved her as well and had a great stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ponderay on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 23 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ponderay. 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 Ponderay 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 Ponderay.
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 Ponderay 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.
