“Kaela treated Theodore like her own! He had so much fun there and came home completely pooped. She sent me pics and updates throughout his stay and it helped put me at ease. She is great!”
“Great guy, no complaints! His dogs play well with others and the house is nice. He kept in good communication and sent pictures of my dog during the stay, would re-book and recommend him to others!”
“What a wonderful experience having my fur baby Katie board with Diahann H. and her family. My 6 year old Maltese is a timid dog very co-dependent on me and has had little experience with other small dogs. I was so pleased that she bonded with this wonderful family and other small dogs in their care, she settled in, ate well and made herself at home with lots of pictures from Diahann to show how well she did. Highly recommend them to care for your loved ones and will be thrilled to use them again. Margie Holmes”
“Margaret recently watched our pup Reece and was fantastic!! Reece is a special pup and needs extra care due to his diabetes. He takes insulin 2x daily and although Margaret hadn't done so before, she was open to learning the process and took great care of Reece. He was happy & healthy the duration of his visit (6 days) and we received many updates. We found a great dogsitter in Margaret!!”
“Rachel was amazing to meet me halfway when I needed to drop off my dog much earlier than scheduled and while she was out of the house. Very accommodating with cute pic updates and the sweetest demeanor!”
“Kristin is amazing! Left our 2 Frenchies with her for 5 days and they had a great time. Kristin was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times, great communicator, and sent us daily photos and updates. I’m so happy we found someone in completely comfortable to leave our babies with. 🥰”
“Nothing but the best! We appreciate the time and care you gave little Pooter! And she appreciated it, too! She was beat when she got home and slept the night through without getting up for a bathroom call! Good exercise, good company...everything was great! Will Re-book with Ashleigh again and again! Randy C.”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“It’s nice knowing that my dog will be treated with love when we are away. She is tired from playing with the other dogs, but I can tell that she is very happy. Thank you!”
“Noelle was wonderful. She took my pup on walks and played ball with him. I received daily updates showing with lots of pictures. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was our first time booking with Amanda and we are so glad we found her!! It was so comforting knowing Buoy was staying somewhere where she was able to make herself one of the family and lounge comfortably and play with their family dog! Pictures and messages sent by Amanda were also appreciated :) Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Wonderful communication, professionalism, and enthusiasm. She worked with my requests and provided a worry free experience. I really appreciated Sheena's help in sitting our puppy and would definitely use her again!”
“Thank you Jeremy for an excellent care you had provided to my baby Daisy .. I can tell you kept her occupied because she came home with lots of energy still lol .. I’m very please to leave my furry friend under your care.🐶 thank you 😊”
“Katrina and her family took our last minute booking request and were excellent sitters! Lots of picture and updates made us feel assured that our pup was in the best hands. Highly recommend!! Will absolutely request Katrina again if needed.”
“Tonya is an absolute joy to work with and takes great care of our Labrador! It makes our time away from our dog better knowing that he is a well cared for. So glad to have found Tonya through The Rover app!”
“We have had Darby watch our dogs multiple times and she has always done a great job. Our Labrador puppy can be a handful but she did a great job with discipline and keeping her from jumping. Darby would take the dogs on long walks around her property and then let them watch the chickens or sun themselves on her deck. The dogs were sad to leave Darby's place and miss the long walks.”
“Jerrie was awesome! We booked her for an extended weekend at the very very last minute (might have even been same day). She took all 3 of my little chaos causers and sent soooooo many photos. This was our first time leaving our newest addition and Jerrie really eased my mind with regular updates and quick communication. I accidentally misbooked and needed to add an extra day, Jerrie was very accommodating. I’m pretty sure our pups had a blast. Will absolutely book again. She has a huge fully fenced yard and there was a good handful of playmates for our babies this weekend. We’re so happy with this service.”
“Keep took such loving care of our dog while were away. She was very responsive to texts and sent regular updates and photos. Her daughter entertained him as well. We will use her again.”

Mikayla and Skyler was exceptional from start to finish. They were punctual, communicative, and followed all care instructions perfectly. It was clear they went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable and happy. We returned home to a relaxed, well cared pup. I would absolutely recommend their services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Yelm on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Yelm. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Yelm sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Yelm landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Yelm 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 Yelm.
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 Yelm 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 WA 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.
