“Pepita loves her stays with Angi! There's plenty of safe space to zoom around and she has other doggie friends to talk to! It's so great to have a wonderful place for her to stay, and for us to have stress-free getaways!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She watched our puppy over a long weekend and provided lots of updates, photos and videos! She also offered a meet and greet prior to watching her, which was very appreciated:) We will definitely book with her again next time our pup needs a sitter!”
“Jamie took in our Finn like one of her own! He loved her dogs and got on great. She was very flexible on drop off and pick up with helped us as travel issues came up for us!”
“Lauren was amazing with our two dogs! We got pictures and videos of them everyday without even asking! We will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”
“Amazing caretaker for our dog. So attentive and caring. We always hated leaving our dog at a big kennel since there was so much less direct attention. This was a fantastic experience, especially because of Amber and Calissa.”
“Shayla took excellent care of my dog, Sadie. She has a beautiful big fenced yard where Sadie and her dog played together. Every day, Shayla sent me texts with pictures and an explanation of how Sadie was doing. That was very thoughtful of her. I know Sadie will love to go back there again.”
“Casandra is the best sitter you could book! She’s kind, communicative, flexible and cares for your pet like her own! I left my little guy with a sitter for the first time and she made the experience a dream. Your pet is in the best hands! ❤️”
“We are so happy we had Larysa watch our dog Millie while we were out of town! She treated our pup like one of her own and sent us lots of updates so we felt at ease that she was in great hands. We will definitely use Larysa again and Millie will be so excited to go back!”
“Justin did a great job sitting for my pup. She seems like she was exercised plenty and well taken care of. He sent updates and asked permission before taking on other dogs while taking care of her. I’d definitely trust my baby with him again!”
“They were super kind and approachable. We knew within a couple of minutes of meeting them that our kitties were in good hands. They kept us updated with how things were going and sent many pictures. We could see along the way that they didn't just do the basics for care, but also interacted with them as if they were there own pets. It was a great experience and we had no worries whatsoever.”
“Thank you so much for being available on short notice and for all the great pictures of our pups! I am so sorry that Stevie got into the potatoes and toilet paper. I really appreciate you!!”
“I have nothing but appreciation for Amber for taking care of my pup while I was away! She made dropping off and picking up a breeze and was great with being in touch and giving me picture updates of my pup! She made it very convenient for me when I had to pick her up late! I would definitely board with Amber again next time!”
“Heather was amazing with our dog, Marley! Communication was great. We received photos and videos often, so we knew she was well cared for while we were away for the week. Marley came home so happy (and tired) from playing with the humans and her puppy friends. We would highly recommend Heather and her family and would use them again in the future!!”
“Morgan was GREAT!!! Unfortunately, our 2 Chihuahuas aren't used to having their family out of town and gave Morgan a hard time. :) She was such a trooper!! She stayed over and endured their barking and was able to warm them up enough to take treats from her hand. I would recommend Morgan because she was reliable, attentive, consistent, and cleaned the house up perfectly. I feel bad that our dogs weren't very friendly but it was nice knowing they were in great hands while we were gone!! Thanks, Morgan. :)”
“Debra was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was flexible and sent great updates. My dog was exhausted when we got home too so he must have played so much. Highly recommend.”
“Braden and Grace were both easy and pleasant to work with. Communication was timely and easy, they were very accommodating with the pet sitting arrangement (I blew a tire and ended up being late to arrive, which they were patient and kind about), and my dog Winnie seemed to enjoy her time there in a safe and comfortable home :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tea is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 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 146 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tea. 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.
95% of sitters in Tea 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 Tea 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 Tea.
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 Tea 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 SD 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.
