“Valerie was amazing! We came to Panama City on vacation to see our grandbaby & Valerie watched our doggie. She is so nice & has the absolute best backyard for the dogs to run around. The yard is totally fenced in & very secure even for the littlest dogs. I talked to her on the phone prior to our visit since an in person meet & greet wasn’t possible. She made me feel very comfortable & showed me a video of where Daisy would be & of her backyard. Valerie’s dogs were very friendly with Daisy & Daisy had a really great time. She was exhausted when we picked her up. I highly recommend Valerie if you want your doggie loved & pampered”

About: I love dogs but want the flexibility to travel, so I thought I’d watch other people’s dogs to get my fill! Your babies will get lots if love here! I had a dog for 13 years and recently fostered a couple of dogs. I also have a cat, but she’ll mostly just hide if I’m watching a dog here. I have a fenced in yard and have given pills to dogs before. Your babies will be in good hands. I work full-time, but not the typical 8-5. I typically leave home around 10:30 and get back around 4, Mon-Thur. your fur baby will get lots of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have dog crates here already, and some toys! My cat will be hiding, so your baby will get lots of love!

“Barb was absolutely a wonderful dog sitter! Our Labradoodle Ziggi was well taken care of and had a great time with her. Barb was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She kept us informed daily with pictures about how Ziggi was doing. We had an unexpected family emergency and had to fly out on Thanksgiving day which was already stressful and Barb made it so much easier and was very accommodating. Knowing that Ziggi would be taken care of took a lot of stress away from our trip. We would definitely use Barb again to dog sit Ziggi.”

“Tessa was so ic redo my mind, and to be honest I hope no one is steered away by the other very few negative reviews she has. We are all human. She was so sweet, sent tons of photos, and was extremely flexible with my last minute booking. She even allowed me to extend my booking like an absolutely angel when I was in a pinch!!! My fur babies made a forever friend, and I feel like I did too❤️❤️ thank you so so much Tessa! Can’t wait to leave my babies with you again sometime!”

About: This is not a bougie doggie day spa. This is where dogs come to talk smack on my porch about the 9 ft squirrel they almost caught when they were young. I have fenced in property so they may run and play. For the designer dogs out there this is your chance to come run until you heart is content and howl at the moon with my pack. I have a houseful of my own ranging from a 15 lb to a 140 lb I know how much love they can bring,the funny antics, and sheer delight. I have a certificate from ABC in dog training but my pack can be a little rowdy. Dogs are dogs and can have the freedom to be such at my place. we spend a lot of time outside, playing or sleeping in the sun. Exercise is a dogs best sleeping aid and leads to less destruction in the home. When the heat here gets too much we all go inside to the cool and watch Netflix and they don't complain about my choice in TV. I have cool floors and magical staking sofa's that can hold 4 dogs at a time.....

She has a very beautiful and clean house, that gave us a lot of comfort knowing that my dogs would be in a clean and well organized environment at all times. My wife and I highly recommend Sierra for your pet boarding needs. Thank you Sierra and kids for your loving care and kindness.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have never lived without a dog. They are family to me. They are indoor pets allowed on the furniture. I have showed dogs in confirmation, Rally and obedience. I am retired from the medical field and work from home. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets with walks and cuddles I offer a free met and greet with every pet owner. I find it important to establish a rapport with the owner and the pet. For home stays in your home, I don't just feed, walk and play with your pet, but bring in any packages that may have been left on the porch, take out the trash and recyclables and alternate lights.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 154 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vernon. 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.

93% of sitters in Vernon 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 Vernon 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 Vernon.

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 Vernon. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 Vernon 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 FL 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.
