About: Plenty of attention and affection to give you four-legged family member. Quiet, gravel road walks and giant yard to play in. Or comfortable space for R&R. Either way, or both, your pet will be right at home! An adult is home during most hours of the day. Evenings, older kids will be home as well. Outside time in all weather is important to our family. Your pet would be the only animal in the home. We have an indoor/outdoor cat that will surely prefer outdoor during dog boarding:) Able to accommodate different feeding schedules. Your pet will have outdoor time multiple times per day. No fenced in areas.

About: We are both experienced pet owners, Lukas grew up on a farm and continues to work with 4-H and FFA organizations. Rhianna grew up with dogs in her home and currently raises our 5 rabbits! Rhianna works as a nurse so there will be days when she is working full 12 hour shifts, but then there are times she has several days off in a row. Scheduling happens about 8-10 weeks in advanced so she should have plenty of time to work something out! Lukas works a more regular 9-5 schedule but has Fridays off for some more flexibility. You can trust that while your dog is staying at our house, they will be showered with love and attention. We don’t have kids or dogs of our own so they will get focused care and play time! We don’t have a fully fenced yard but are willing to go to dog parks and on walks to get the wiggles out. We have caged rabbits that are in a closed off room in our house so there will be no interaction between them and your pet.

About: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up with two Cockapoos who I absolutely adored, so dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve also loved dog sitting for family and friends over the years and getting to know all of their different personalities. During my first year of masters school, I rescued my sweet Goldendoodle, Lovey. She was 6 at the time and is now 9, and she has brought me more joy than I could ever put into words. She is truly my best friend and has made me even more of a dog lover! I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else, so I want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and of course, get lots of cuddles and attention! I work full-time as a mental health therapist at a school, so my typical work hours are 7:30 AM–3:30 PM. During the workday, I’m still able to let dogs out before work, during my lunch break, and right after work. Once I’m off for the day, I’m pretty flexible and happy to work around your pup’s needs! Whether that means going for a walk, taking a car ride, getting some extra playtime in, or just hanging out and getting lots of cuddles, I’m happy to make it work. Your pup will be treated like family while they’re with me! I live in a cozy apartment with my sweet Goldendoodle, Lovey, and we have access to a fenced in dog area where your pup can safely run around and get some energy out. I have plenty of toys, treats, and lots of love to go around! I’m also happy to follow whatever routine your pup is used to and can accommodate their individual needs as much as possible. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, snuggle on the couch, or just have a quiet place to relax, I’m happy to make them feel right at home. My biggest goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love while you’re away

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of dogs and cat my whole life. I currently have 1 cat and 2 small dogs in my house who get along and also have their own space when needed! I do work during the day but I’m usually available before/after and on weekends. My mom does live with me and she works from home so she is able to help out during the day with bathroom times. I’m willing to host animals overnight if they seem like a good fit! My dogs have always used an invisible fence but any visiting dogs will be on a leash unless told otherwise. Dogs typically get 5+ bathroom breaks a day and are encouraged to go outside for a good 10 minutes each time. Pets are allowed on the furniture and bed, because they’re considered family. Cats are typically left in the (finished/liveable) basement separate from the dogs, unless the cat wants to venture upstairs then be my guest.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 105 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vernon. 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 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.

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 MN 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.
