“I spent 10 days in Italy. I didn’t have to worry for a second about Koda because Robb and his kids always take such good care of my little best friend. I miss her a lot when I’m gone and so the updates I get mean a lot to me. Robb’s house is my dog’s home away from home. Their family is just the best!!!”
“We had never left Jax before so we were a little nervous leaving him but Mark and Corrie offered for us to bring Jax over and meet them first and let him take a look around and make him feel comfortable. Jax made a friend while there and seemed to do really well. We will definitely take him there again! (If they will take him 😉)”
“Maddie and Sam make your dog feel right at home, they send a ton of updates with cute pictures and make sure your dog feels like it is their second home. They are our go to now!”
“Natasha and her doodles were very accommodating to our very active terrier recuses. :-) We left them overnight. Property/neighborhood very dog friendly. Everyone seemed happy in the morning. Natasha is very responsive to texts!! She was able to adjust pick up, as we got hung up in traffic. Would definitely recommend.”
“From the moment we dropped our dog off, we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We received updates and photos daily. Definitely will use Chelsey again to board our dog. Great experience!!”
“Our dog felt right at home. I felt comfortable leaving him with Courtney and with her dogs and with her kids. We will definitely book again with Courtney, if the opportunity arises. Thank you!”
“Avery was great. I loved the daily pictures she sent of our dog. It seemed he was well taken care of. Avery was really easy to work with. We will contact her again for our next out of town trip.”
“I appreciate Dana and her family for taking care of my dog, Lilo. He had so much fun at their place, perfect for energetic dog like mine 😊 I will definitely book her again 😇”
“Cheri was absolutely amazing. We have a pretty high energy pup, and Cheri was the perfect fit with her sweet lab Pixie! They were best friends and kept each other entertained. Cheri also sent so many pictures and videos updated us and helping us have a peace of mind. She always responded super quick and was willing to be flexible. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Victoria was wonderful! Super kind and took great care of our dog. Her kids were so sweet to our dog, and Victoria sent updates and communicated well. We would love for her to take care of our dog in the future.”
“We had Carolina watch our dog for a week. She did an amazing job! She sent us videos and pictures daily of our dog. She was also very quick to respond to our text messages. We will for sure have Carolina watch our dog again when we travel. We would highly recommend leaving your pets with her. Very clean, and fenced in yard. Thanks again Carolina!”
“Jade was so very conscientious about Rudi and how he was adjusting. She spent time with him to help him overcome his sadness that I had left him, and she was understanding about his needs. When I returned, Rudi was happy to see me, but he went to Jade and gave her a "doggy hug" to say thank you and show his affection. Everything worked so well with Jade for Rudi and for me. She really is understanding and the dogs she day-sits were so well adjusted, too. Thank you, Jade, so much for being great for Rudi!”
“We love Clayton and Aubrey and their family. Our last couple of rover sitters have been horrible experiences so much so our dog was sick at the vet for a week after. I was very hesitant to leave our dog again but Aubrey and Clayton did an amazing job! We rebooked another trip with them for almost two weeks and when we dropped our dog off she was very excited and eager to go in and play (this has never happened at a babysitter or boarding). They’ve got a great backyard for the dogs to play in. Their dog is very friendly with ours. Their kids love the dogs so much. We got multiple videos during our vacation. They are easy to work with regarding pick up/drop off times. Aubrey is very quick to respond to messages. It’s been such a relief to finally find someone we can trust. We will definitely be going back and would definitely recommend them!”
“Emmett always has a great time when he stays with Madison and Ryan! He was well cared for and came home happy. It’s a relief to know he’s safe and that I don’t have to worry about him while he’s with Madison and Ryan. Thanks again!”
“Jed and Nyla were awesome with my dog, Rosie. They have a cute dog named Annie, that was so fun and playful with Rosie. They have a fenced backyard and took her for walks. They were cautious when the temperature was over 100 degrees outside. We will definitely use them again.”
“Our golden doodle, Baxter, had a wonderful time with Suzanne, Matthew and their other furry friends. Suzanne kept us up do date with photos and reports and we were very pleased. We would use them again and highly recommend their excellent service.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 328 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Thistle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Thistle 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 Thistle 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 Thistle.
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 Thistle. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Thistle 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.
