I loved that she sent pictures and videos. Skylar has some separation anxiety but warms up after a couple days. This wasn't a long trip for us so she was warming up on the last day!!

Wonderful family to keep your fur babies! Maggie’s loved it. House was clean and she was very well cared for while there. We will definitely use them again.

I hate to be honest here. For fear that Kate and Ken will not be available when we need them in the future. They were so attentive to Tripp. Their dogs and our dog played so much. I received pictures and videos daily showing the smile on his face. We don’t have a yard as big as theirs. Or other dogs for him to play with. So this was a real treat for him. They understand our dog’s communication style. Let him be a dog. Play like a puppy. But also balanced it with the guidance and directions he is used to. Both Ken and Kelly were exactly what we hoped for when we signed up for care. We drove 40 minutes to drop him off and pick him up. Both my husband and I believe it is worth it. Previously Tripp had been boarded at a kennel. I started using Rover in hopes that he would get more interaction with dogs and humans while we were gone. Boy! Did Ken and Kelly do that! Thank you for loving him like one of your family!

Lisa was great with my dogs, Sadie and Sookie! She kept me updated with pictures and made sure they were having a good time. Sookie had a little injury, and Lisa made sure to keep an eye on it and take good care of her. I felt really comfortable leaving them with her. Definitely recommend!

Paloma was wonderful with our dog, Argus. Argus had an injury right before his time with her and she went above and beyond to make sure he was as comfortable as possible.

Really loved how well they took care of my pup! She seemed super happy when she got back. I was pleased with the pictures they show and they show you the facilities. I felt totally comfortable leaving my old girl with them.

We were so nervous to leave Emmett for the 1st time. We knew a regular kennel wasn’t a right fit . Laura and her family took Emmett in and loved him like their own pup. We loved the frequent pictures for updates. Playing in the fenced in back yard. Sleeping at Laura’s feet while she worked and walk outsides .Laura had great communication the whole week. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Laura for making this a great experience for us and Emmett.

Sydney was great to work with to make Ian's stay comfortable and safe. He is an old dog and I was concerned that his special needs, which require medications on a schedule would be too disruptive to Sydney's routine but she had no problem. I really appreciated the prompt and solid communication.

Haley is fantastic. Our dog, a 50 lb 8 month old standard poodle, was well taken care of. The setup at her house is great for large dogs and she clearly cares a lot about those in her care.

Jessica was very flexible and easy to work with, I initially spoke to her well over a month before my vacation to Hawaii and had some bank issues allowing to confirm the payment just the night before, she had zero issues with that. The entire time we received notifications and pictures of our fur babies and their activities. I would highly recommend her for your pet needs. I personally can not thank you enough for your kindness and understanding

Erin did a great job taking care of my puppy for the weekend! When I went to drop Lottie off she brought her dog down so that they could meet on neutral territory, which was really nice and during the weekend she text me updates and pics every day. I liked that she only took one pet at a time in addition to hers, that made me feel much safer leaving my puppy there. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nicholas, his wife, and their children took amazing care of Spartacus while I was away. Great communication, plenty of activities, and a wonderful environment that made me feel completely at ease. Spartacus came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend, and I will definitely use them again! 🐾

FAQs for Boarding - Russellville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Russellville on Rover is $29.39 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 113 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Russellville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover 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.

83% of Russellville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Russellville 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 Russellville 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 Russellville.

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 Russellville 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 MO 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.
