“I have an older dog that is set in her ways and had never been away from home. She stayed with Nola for 2 weeks and came home happy. Nola was wonderful. Sent us pictures every couple of days. I would highly recommend her.”
“Stefhany and Jean were great! I went on a 10 day vacation, and did not want to leave my pup at a traditional boarding facility. I came across Rover, and found Stefhany and Jean’s profile. I am so glad that I did. The pictures I received throughout my vacation of my pup, showed the love and care he was receiving. I will be using Stefhany and Jean moving forward for all my boarding needs.”
“Elisa was wonderful! Our black lab, Jake, got to spend 5 days at her house. She is very kind and attentive. I am grateful for her services. 💙 It was a great first experience leaving our pet with someone other than family. Highly recommend!”
“This is our first time with Sandra. We are extremely happy with her level of care and affection for Coco. She sent great pictures and admitted that Coco slept with Sandra…which we know Coco relished. We definitely recommend Sandra and we will have other opportunities for Coco to enjoy Sandra and her two dogs.”
“Heidi is the best !!! We had an emergency and she worked with me when we had to change our flights from Tuesday to Monday. She sends pictures and updates daily and Lucy loves her !!!! We will definitely be back or should I say Lucy will !!!!”
“Joann & Chris were awesome!! I can't say enough about them!! I had a last minute emergency creating the need for a dog boarder for a holiday weekend on the Thursday before the holiday for my nervous nilly dog. I found them in my Rover account. They had a space for my dog and let us come over that same day for a meet and greet. My nervous nilly dog showed me right away how comfortable she was there. I loved what I saw and booked with them right away. Over the weekend, my fur baby was allowed to do the kinds of things we let her do at home - snuggle up on our chairs with us, sleep in our bed, etc. In addition to their fenced-in back yard, they went on daily walks and played in the house with their dog and 1 other that was also there for the weekend. I recieved photos and I could tell my dog was having a great time. When I picked her up yesterday I could quickly see that she was not stressed at all from this new last-minute situation. I give the credit to JoAnn & Chris for making my baby feel loved and at home in their home in our absense. I will absolutely book them again! They were awesome!!”
“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“First time using Susan to watch my cat and it was great! She's very gracious and any trepidation was put to rest after meeting her. Great communication. Highly recommended!”
“Left my two doggies with Molly over the holidays and couldn't be happier with the service! Molly took great care of them and kept me updated with what a great time they were having! I will definitely be a repeat client, highly recommend!!!”
“Maria was great and the house and yard were perfect for Henry. Maria sent pictures and updates every day we were gone. I could tell he was very happy and well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Maria and would not hesitate to rebook (actually we already have)!! Thank you Maria!”
“Alexus and her family provided wonderful care for our precious puppy. Their home is clean and welcoming and she provided continuous updates throughout our dog’s stay. We would gladly go back there when the need arises and recommend her highly. Thanks Alexus”
“I felt comfortable trusting Stephanie with my fur babies. This was their first time with strangers. However, they adjusted nicely. I will continue to use her services when I need to go out of town. Great dog care service.”
“Emily came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Andi. She send us many pictures and messages letting us know how Emily was doing. Emily was very comfortable at Andi’s house and even got to sleep in bed with them.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would. Being this sitter's very first Rover client turned out to be a wonderful experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making sure my pup felt comfortable and cared for. She treated him like one of her own, and it was clear that his happiness and well-being were her top priorities. I received updates that gave me complete peace of mind, and when I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly well loved. Everyone starts somewhere, and if this first experience is any indication, she's going to be an incredible asset to the Rover community. Don't let the lack of reviews fool you—she exceeded my expectations in every way. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“We had a wonderful pet-sitting experience with Nelieze! Our dog, Lulu, was exceptionally well cared for and loved while we were away. Nelieze was amazing—kind, reliable, accommodating, and attentive to Lulu’s needs. She kept us updated and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our furry family member was in great hands. We picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Nelieze to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“This is the second vacation that we’ve left Benji with Debbie and she is the BEST! Her home is perfectly setup for doggies and her little guy Teddy is the greatest playmate!! I will absolutely continue to book Debbie as often as possible!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rutland is $24 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $24 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.
95% of sitters in Rutland 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 Rutland 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 Rutland.
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 Rutland. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Rutland 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.
