“Lisa did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs! Both of them are picky eaters, and she did not get tired of trying to get them to eat. She also kept me up to date via text messages several times during the day, which was very appreciated, since I usually am around my dogs 24/7 (working from home) and it was very comforting to me to know that they were in such good hands! Lisa also send me regular picture updates. I could not have asked for a better sitter for my boys and would highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a great, super reliable dog sitter! I will definitely book with Lisa again.”
“Marylynn was great! She was able to book with us a few weeks before a trip after another sitter had to cancel. She takes her dogs on multiple long walks a day, and it was great for my dog to be included on those. She also understands that it’s hard to leave your beloved pet with someone else, and sent me a lot of pictures and updates each day.”
“Lyndi was amazing with our baby while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and immediately felt comfortable reading her reviews and seeing she had repeat clients. She sent photos and updates daily and kept us up-to-date on his interactions with the other fur babies in the house. He was such a good boy and Lyndi was always excited for his presence. Will definitely be making this his second forever home while we are gone.”
“Robert and Caro took great care of my boy Otis. They sent lots of pictures and Otis looked happy and comfortable in all of them. They made an adorable “Little Report from My Stay” with a picture of Otis, a dog biscuit, and a list of Otis’s favorite things. They were very chill and flexible about drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend them to others and will for sure use their services again.”
“Seini was absolutely amazing and the sweetest! It was the first time I had boarded my pup and she made me feel very calm about the whole experience. My pup is on the older side and seini made sure all her needs were met. I would highly recommend!”
“Our pup seemed happy as could be when we picked her up. Jean and Sam were quick to respond on a short notice request and made everything very easy for us. Thank you!”
“Lauren is the best sitter Chief’s ever had. She made him feel so comfortable, kept him exercised and socialized, and use discretion when it came to his needs/comfort level. Thanks for taking such good care of my guy and putting my mind at ease while I was away, Lauren!”
“This family was the sweetest to our pup while we traveled on a weekend trip. They gave us the peace of mind that our dog was well loved and had a great friend to play with. Their large backyard was perfect for wearing out the pups. Tired dogs are happy dogs!”
“Elisabeth (Betsy) was great taking care of our dog for a few days this week. She was very responsive communicating back and forth, and really open about what we could expect. She sent a lot of messages and pictures of walks, playing, and caring for our dog. She really seemed to enjoy him, and her dog was very friendly and a playful. I am sure my dog had a wonderful time.”
“Adam was great with our dog Scout. She can be a little shy and has a few quirks but they were great at being patient with her and going at her pace. By the end of her stay when we picked her up she was clearly very happy and comfortable! Would definitely book with them again.”
“Katherine took my new puppy Skye at last minute notice, as we had a last minute trip. She was great with Skye and kept me updated with videos regularly. I would definitely use her again, and recommend her highly!!!”
“The Butterfield’s were wonderful sitters for our two Greyhounds. They came up with creative solutions to high feeders when I forgot to bring theirs, were very responsive to all of our communications and most importantly, our dogs came home very happy and tired. They obviously had a terrific time. Thank you so much!”

As always, Jennifer took fantastic care of our dog while we were away! She was easy to communicate with when setting up the boarding days, provided updates on the walks and activities she did with our dog and overall kept us apprised of how things were going. We are so grateful to have found Jennifer.
This was our first time leaving our dog with Leah and James. They understood we were nervous since our dog is a senior dog. We were gone for over a month and Leah gave us frequent updates and pictures. They gave Erie the care and love he needed. I highly recommend them!
Robert and Caro took great care of my boy Otis. They sent lots of pictures and Otis looked happy and comfortable in all of them. They made an adorable “Little Report from My Stay” with a picture of Otis, a dog biscuit, and a list of Otis’s favorite things. They were very chill and flexible about drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend them to others and will for sure use their services again.
Katherine was so wonderful to work with and took amazing care of our 5 month old puppy, Spout for 3 nights. She and her two pups were so welcoming and patient with our dog’s crazy puppy energy and treated her like part of the family. We are so grateful Katherine was able to watch Sprout for us and would absolutely ask her to watch her again. Thank you!
Parker did a great job taking care of our Lany girl! She came home worn out! She seemed to enjoy being there. He sent a few pictures and videos to let us know she was doing well. Parker was very responsive and got back to us quickly. We had a different sitter cancel on us a couple weeks before we were needing them due to a family emergency and Parker was able to get us in. He did a fantastic job taking care of her! Thanks Parker!
Evette watched my Cockapoo, Menlo, for over two weeks, and the experience was beyond my expectation! She created a true doggy heaven living environment where all the pups are a similar size, allowing them to play safely. Evette’s love and understanding to take care of all doggies is incredible. She also kept me reassured with plenty of photos and quick responses to my texts. Highly recommend!
Katie was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent lots of updates and photos. Katie made the whole experience easy and stress-free. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful Rover sitter!
Nicole and Joey were great with Noodle. They were great with photos and videos to communicate how things were going. They offered a meet and greet before to help determine if Noodle was a good fit and help us feel comfortable with the house and pets. Joey and Nicole are very nice and easy going and know how to handle and care for dogs! I highly recommend them!
Lauren took care of our good boy over our wedding weekend and it was great! Our dog can be pretty anxious with new situations, but he warmed up quick to Lauren and had a lot of fun. She sent us pictures of him cuddling and videos of him playing, so we know he was having a great time! Definitely would book again.
Erika was fantastic! She watched our dog for several days and nights. She was very intentional about how she spent each day with our dog- long walks, play time, snuggles, and even training sessions! We received plenty of photo and video updates and we could tell her was a happy boy. Erika is communicative, professional, and really cares about dogs. We are excited to book with Erika again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Charity and Erik! This was our first time having them care for our two dogs, and we immediately felt comfortable leaving them with them. From the moment we met Charity, it was clear that she genuinely cared about animals and would take great care of our pups. She kept us regularly updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind. From the photos and updates, we could tell our dogs were happy, comfortable, and enjoying their time with her. That meant so much to us! We would absolutely recommend Charity and Erik to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again!
5 stars-Owen kept me in the loop on how my dog was doing and I really appreciated it. The photos were great and I loved getting those updates. He was also flexible on pick-up times when my flight was delayed and it was a real life saver. I highly recommend Owen!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shalamar is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $78 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 Shalamar 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 Shalamar 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 Shalamar.
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 Shalamar. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Shalamar 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 UT 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.
