Rackeem is a true professional. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, detail-oriented, responsive, and kind. We love being able to leave our dog with him, always knowing she’s getting the best care and attention when we’re away. He also always leaves us with great care tips and suggestions. Thank you, Rackeem!

Deanna and her husband were absolutely WONDERFUL. The care and attention that was given to Maximus was more than I could ever imagine. I am extremely pleased with the updates and photos since it was his first time staying with Deanna. It definitely put me at ease knowing he was in excellent care.

Amrita took great care of my pup, Hershey, and provided updates and pics to reassure me that he was doing well and enjoying his time with her and her family. I picked up a happy pup so I was pleased with the service provided and would definitely recommend her for your boarding needs and when in the area, I will definitely try to book with her again.

You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.

Claudia took such amazing care of my dog! She shared lots of photos and detailed updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She not only took him out for walks but also played with him at home and even let him snuggle with her at night. My pup absolutely adored her — when it was time to leave, he even sat on the lawn refusing to go, with watery eyes. It’s clear he felt very loved and happy with Claudia. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 💛🐾

Myra was very professional and took notes of everything i said and followed them. She also gave me detailed updates often including information of what activities they did, what food and how much my dog ate, when he peed and pooped. Sent me videos and pictures of my dog. And it reduced my worries to my baby fur while i was gone for a day. Myra was so loving that she even slept close to my dog so my dog wont feel lonely. Amazing experience and Will definitely book again!

About: My farm is a beautiful sanctuary that we love to share with all furry friends! Whether they want to splash in the pool, run outside in a safe CLEAN secure area, or just have a nice snuggle in their indoor kennel or maybe even stretch out on the couch- just know they’ll be wagging to come back! I have 6 horses on the property, 13 chickens, 2 turkeys, 2 outdoor barn cats, and my Friendly Laid back dog Archie. I provide love & care which is more important than anything else. But of course- I follow parents rules! My entire life revolves around my farm and caring for all of my animals. I am on the property 24/7 as this is my full time job. And luckily it’s my passion. We have a beautiful fenced in pasture with lots of space to run. We are in a very private and rural area. We also have a pool- only if parents are OK and the Pup chooses to take a dip! Your Pup will always be supervised. If there are restrictions we will always abide by them. We also have dog crates if needed or requested and a beautiful inside area as well. Basically your Pup is gonna have free range and feel a home away from home.

I had a wonderful experience! They took such great care of my dog, Maddy, and kept me updated throughout her stay with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated like family. I truly appreciated the communication, kindness, and attention they gave her. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Rita was great! Quick responses, frequent updates and our dog Maple and cat Olive loved her (boarded our dog and had drop-in for our cat). Olive is usually fine when we are away but it was our first long trip away from Maple and she came home happy and healthy. I would use Rita’s services again, no problem

Jessica welcomed Bella with warm and open arms despite the last minute booing inquiry. She saved a Christmas vacation! She took exceptional care of Bella, sent picture and video updates and showed her much love. I high recommend Jessica to watch over your furry loved ones, and will definitely be reaching out to her again when Bella needs boarding. Thank you!

About: I have owned dogs since childhood, ranging from 60lbs to 150lbs. I have walked dogs and dog sat since I was a teenager. I have 4 dogs of my own, 3 of which are XL, and always have a foster dog as well. I am very active and would be happy to provide your dog with extra activity like hiking or running if you want them to come along for an adventure. I have experience with pet therapy for the last 15 years as well. If you are boarding with me, during the work week, I come home for lunch so my pets don’t ever go more than five hours without a let out. I can accommodate early morning or later in the evening walks or let outs on weekdays. Weekends are very open for me! I am able to accommodate dog friendly dogs for boarding who can integrate into our pack. I have a male Cane Corso, a male Great Dane, a female Great Dane and a female Lab. They are all fixed and all dog and cat friendly. I can also accommodate non-dog friendly dogs as long as they are crate trained and comfortable in a room with busy toys and treats. They will still receive one on one attention and play time. For drop-ins, I am happy to utilize your yard for let outs and/or play time or very happy to walk your dog/s. For boarding, I have a fully fenced in portion of yard. I do not live in a neighborhood, so if your dog requires walks while boarding, I live 5 minutes from a park. I have cared for senior dogs as well as special needs dogs. I am very comfortable administering medications and sub q fluids. My one dog receives daily fluids. Pet care is essentially my whole life :) With 4 dogs, life revolves around them. Their needs are prioritized and whatever accommodations need to be made can be made. Happy to provide your dogs with walks, playing tug, mental stimulation or just snuggles. If your dog is active, I’d be thrilled to take them for hikes or runs.

We LOVE Shereen! She took such good care of our little Cooper. Her dogs are so loving and friendly, and welcomed ours into their home with no issues of any kind. Shereen obviously loves dogs and treats all of them like kings and queens...which is exactly what we wanted. She's really amazing.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Townsend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Townsend on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 520 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Townsend. About 91% of Townsend sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 DE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
