“I recently hired Kym and Glen to take care of my dog, Cody, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They did an outstanding job, keeping me updated regularly on Cody's well-being and activities. It was clear from the start that Cody was in great hands, and I could see how much care and attention they provided. Knowing that Cody was well taken care of gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Kym and Glen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!"”

“Eve was such a wonderful sitter! Our girl ended up not feeling well for a portion of her stay (through no fault of Eve's), and Eve took such good care of her and was so communicative with us while we were out of town. We are so grateful to Eve and won't hesitate to contact her again.”

“Jackelyn was excellent. We did a visit prior to his stay. She was so warm and welcoming to both I and Russell. He took to her immediately. She allowed him to run freely in the house. I received pictures and updates daily. Jackelyn actually taught Russell to sit and lye down. We’re back together and he is kind of moping around. I’ve already talked about anther upcoming stay. I believe he’s found his second home. Thank you so much Jackelyn. 💕💕💕🐶🐩🐩”

She kept us updated with the sweetest messages and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such wonderful hands. We’re beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have had a dog most of my life. I have also watched dogs for family and friends on several occasion's. Let your four legged child join our family. I'm currently retired. I take my dog Angel for a walk 4-5 times a day depending on the weather. Often one of our walks leads to the neighborhood dog park. I live in a main floor condo with a screen in lanai. I have a friendly dog to keep yours company. We can create your dog if that's what you like but would prefer they just join our family while you are gone.

“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care and Communication** I cannot recommend Audrey and Karson highly enough! They provided outstanding care for Cairo during our time away, and their communication throughout the entire experience was truly exceptional. The peace of mind that comes from such excellent communication cannot be overstated. As a pet parent, knowing exactly how your furry family member is doing while you’re away is invaluable. We will definitely be booking with Audrey and Karson again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to other pet owners looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet care. **Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cairo!**”

About: I have trained my dogs since I was fourteen and have a love for pets. I don't work and live in a home with a large backyard so your pets will have my full attention. I have two friendly loving dogs I take care of who would love to have extra friends to play with. :) Sorry but no pit bulls or aggressive breeds will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding. I stay at home but of course may go out for groceries or a small amount of time to the gym. My doggies are well taken care of and spoiled and would love some furry friends to play with. My backyard provides a good area for bathroom breaks and is cleaned on a regular basis. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed and are an integral part of my daily life and routine. They are very loved and they know it! :) Bathroom breaks are frequent as I keep an eye on their needs and the water bowls are always clean and available for them. I do not use any chemicals or pesticides on my lawn or in my home nor do I use any air plug-ins or air scented chemicals even in my laundry. I support a healthy lifestyle for both the animals and myself so your pets are safely kept from any toxin exposure, pesticides and perfumes.

Two thumbs up for Kym and Glenn! This was my first time using Rover. Kym responded to my reservation request right away. We made arrangements for everyone to meet and see their space prior to the drop off. Their dogs welcomed my dog Coco and Glenn showed me their space; a beautiful shaded, fenced in backyard and the run of the house. After the drop off, I received pictures and texts letting me know how Coco was doing. They made it easy and being away from Coco, stress free.

Patricia was great. She took care of Benni, who is a very shy and fearful Yorkie, for three nights. Benni absolutely did not want to leave us, but she became so comfortable that she bonded with, sat with and slept on Patricia's bed. Patricia sent plenty of pictures and descriptions of Benni's care. We would definitely hire Patricia again, but we are only visiting Alaska and may not have another chance.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rubonia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rubonia is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $56 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,943 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rubonia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rubonia 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 Rubonia 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 Rubonia.

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 Rubonia. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 Rubonia 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 FL 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.
