“5 star household! Our old man was so tired from all the play time. They provided great photos and updates and showed concern when he had a bit of bleeding from tug of war. Knowing they pay attention to details gave us additional peace of mind.”
“Amanda and Rae, along with their entire family, did a great job with my puppy! It was a smooth process and she had the best time. The pictures and communication I got throughout the stay was wonderful :)”
“My dogs are so happy at Deborah’s house! They return tired but relaxed and happy. They love her! She takes them on walks and to the park, as well as playing with them. Her own dog is very sweet and gets along well with them as well. 10/10!”
“Brett and Christine were so great with my pup! He had a bit of a strained back leg when I dropped him off, and they did a great job making sure he didn’t exert himself too much. When I picked him up after the weekend, he was walking normally and they said he had a great time with their other dogs. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Wonderful experience! My dogs had so much fun, and they were treated as part of the family. The pictures we received while they were staying here were adorable and always brought a smile to my face.”
“Nicole and her family seemed to do a great job taking care of our dog. She sent updates everyday on what they did and how she was doing. We picked Sunny up tired, happy, and healthy. Thank you Nicole.”
“Coco really enjoyed spending Christmas with Emily and her WHOLE family 😂 Thank you for taking such good care of my girl and for the wonderful pictures of her enjoying herself in the middle of the family Christmas commotion.”
“I highly recommend April and her family. They took wonderful care of my pup. They were very responsive the entire time and also administered my dog's medication well. I absolutely loved getting all the picture updates while I was away! Plus, their sons were incredibly sweet with my dog. I will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Ellie looks like she had a great time staying with Stephanie and her family for the week. She came home so pooped and slept all day. She was so easy to work with and kept us in the loop. You can tell they really love animals and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Stephanie again. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
About: I've been providing attentive, loving care for pets for over 10 years; including walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, and plenty of patience, cuddles, and companionship. I am a stay-at-home mom with plenty of time to care for your pup(s). My flexible daily routine allows me to provide attentive supervision, playtime, walks, and affection. My home has a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play, plus two friendly dogs for company. If your pup prefers their own space, my dogs can be easily separated. There's a spacious basement room where your pup can play and relax. If needed, I can crate your pup or use a small pen I have to give puppies and small dogs a little extra room while keeping them safely contained.
“Super friendly, beautiful home on top of it all has frenchies. So very knowledgeable about this type of breed. Next vacation I will be using her. Was updated everyday about my Berkie and didn’t have to worry about my fur baby, thank you so much”
“Bailey was great! I have a 9 month old labradoodle with a lot of energy which could potentially overwhelm some but Bailey handled it very professionally. I think my pup wanted to stay with her when I came to pick her up so she must have really enjoyed her time. Leading up to the stay Bailey was great at communicating and asked some questions regarding care that I hadn't even thought of. While I was on my vacation Bailey sent pictures and kept me updated regularly on how my pup was doing. I would highly recommend Bailey for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Savannah was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was very easy to communicate with, responded quickly, and was flexible when arranging the meet-and-greet and coordinating everything. My dog is very shy and usually takes quite a while to warm up to new people, but after just a few days with Savannah, she started to really like her—and even began asking Savannah to keep petting her! It was so reassuring to see my dog become comfortable and happy in her care. Savannah also sent me regular photos every day, which I really appreciated, and she was very attentive to my dog’s well-being. She promptly let me know when she noticed anything unusual, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall, I highly recommend Savannah to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and attentive to look after their dog. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Alexis did an amazing job! We were nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but she eased our minds. She was great about communicating with us about how things were going with pictures, videos and communicating about the visit. Cannot say enough good things about Alexis. She is definitely the best choice for a dog sitter.”

Jessica and her family are WONDERFUL! She took amazing care of our dog Watson and sent pictures and updates every night. Watson had a great time playing with her dog Maya and I think was a little bummed to leave at the end of his stay! Highly recommend this sitter--your dog will receive the very best of care.
Aubrey was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Cleo! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Cleo was in such good hands while we were away. Aubrey was patient, caring, attentive, and made sure Cleo was well taken care of. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Cleo and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their pets, especially if your pet struggles with being away from their family. We will absolutely use Aubrey again!
Angela was super easy to work with. She was responsive, sent tons of photos and gave my little Lunar lots of love and attention during her short stay (along with her family). For an anxious doggie away from her home, that's all I can ask for (to keep her comfortable until I return).
This is the second time Duffy has been lucky enough to stay with Lauri and her family and he had the best time. He made a new friend and was pampered to his heart’s content. We’ll continue to board with Lauri as long as she’ll have us! It’s always a wonderful experience for our dog and for us!
What can I say? Angela was easy to communicate with, easy to organize with, flexible, communicative, and responsive. She had my two dogs for 12 days. She sent me at least daily updates. Often 2x per day. My dogs seemed to be having a great time and got to socialize with her pack and others. It looked like a lot of fun. Maybe too much fun - I’m not sure they were as excited to come home as I expected! :) I got the distinct impression that Angela took great care of my dogs and showed them the kind of love and care any owner would want for their precious ones. I’ll certainly be returning to her for future stays. Thanks Angela.
Danielle is absolutely incredible! She takes such fantastic care of our puppy golden doodle. Danielle is incredibly professional and reliable. She goes above and beyond! Our puppy absolutely loves her. I get such comfort knowing that Danielle is taking care of my fur baby!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ralston is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $50 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.

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.
96% of sitters in Ralston 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 Ralston 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 Ralston.
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 Ralston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Ralston 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 NE 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.
