“Nalleli and her family were wonderful!! We got photos of our dog enjoying his time almost daily and they even had an adorable sign greeting Finnegan when we pulled up. She was in constant communication and our dog seemed so happy with his stay. Also, he came back as clean as we left him and this is something I really appreciated too! I would highly recommend and will be rebooking!”

“Sylvia is truly a “dog whisperer”. I was so worried about leaving our dog (who thinks he’s human) and she was incredible. I received daily updates and she literally transformed this dog from a protective alpha to a charming alpha. I adore her! She was made for this.”

“Tina has a great place to board our dog. In addition to a large space to run, there are chickens, turkeys, squirrels, and other critters to keep our dog's attention. Of course there is fencing to protect most of these distractions, but squirrels just seem to live in the trees.”

It was clear our dog was truly happy. She provided frequent updates with photos and videos, and she is a pet expert you can truly trust. Thanks again, Rhonda!”

“Hailey is amazing! I was nervous about leaving my dog, Potato, with someone new, but she quickly put all my worries to rest. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and happy to answer every question and concern I had. It’s clear she doesn’t just watch animals - she truly cares for them and makes them feel like part of her family. Potato got all the love, cuddles, and playtime he could want. He was free to relax on the couch and even snuggle in bed, and Hailey made sure he had the perfect balance of outdoor fun and cool, air conditioned rest inside - which was especially important to me since his breed overheats easily. Her own dogs and cats are so sweet and gentle, and Potato fit right in. Honestly, it felt like he was on his own little vacation while we were away! Hailey kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it was such a joy to see him happily playing with dogs of all sizes and ages. Knowing he was safe, comfortable, and having fun gave us total peace of mind. I can’t recommend Hailey enough. She has a lovely home with a big yard, amazing availability, and is so easy to communicate with. Most of all, she’s genuinely kind and trustworthy. We’ll definitely be calling on her for all our future trips!”

“She was communicative and sent daily photos, and overall we had a good experience. There was an unfortunate incident where my dog was aggressive toward another dog while in her care, but she handled the situation really well and kept me informed. I appreciated the updates and communication during their stay.”

We had the best experience with Lehi when we went out of town for 5 days. Our dog, Boodah, is 16yrs old and Lehi took great care of her. Her home is clean and well kept, Boodah felt right at home. Lehi made sure Boodah received lots of love and outside time. I loved her daily updates. Highly recommend!

Kimberly is awesome! Marco had a blast and she was very communicative with daily updates and images. I loved seeing pics of him with their other dog, made all of our hearts smile.

Nicole was absolutely fabulous to work with! She took amazing care of my girl and made sure she felt safe and secure within the pack. As long as your dog is good with other dogs, you won't regret booking with Nicole! My dog was a little nervous at first but Nicole worked with her and moved through baby steps to help her get settled in. The frequent pictures and video updates were fabulous too! I will definitely book with her again. Thanks again Nicole!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Star

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Star is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $53 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 October 2026, there are 530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Star. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Star 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 Star home-away-from-home, 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 Star.

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 Star 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 , 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 .

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 ID 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.
