“Rachel was great with both our dogs. She worked great with our higher anxiety dog, even got him to play with her dog. There was great communication as well as regular updates. Will definitely be using her again”
“Maren & Jonathon took my elderly dog for a week. Elderly dogs can feel challenging for some people but they were naturals with her. They sent a few updates while I was away and she was happy, healthy and calm when we picked her up. We will definitely try booking again when we need to board our dogs in the future.”
“David’s place was like a home away from home for our two dogs. They have different needs and personalities and David was an excellent caretaker for both of them. I hope to be able to have them visit again!”
“Our dog stayed 4 nights at Diahann’s. Diahann and her family welcomed our very high energy 3-year old 15-lbs male Havanese. We got our little “hairball” during the pandemic and he is not used to people other than our family. It takes a long time for him to warm up to someone he does not know but Diahann and her family patiently let him settle in slowly until he let his guard down and become more comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. I recommend them. Thanks again Diahann and family!”
“Jerrie is an amazing dog sitter. She is so loving to the pups and sends pics every day. She is very responsive and the pups have an big, beautiful area to play and run. Jerrie is the best sitter I have ever had and I would highly recommend her to everyone!! Our dogs LOVED her!!”
“Max was in overnight care 4 years ago and it was a horrible experience and chose to never leave max again but we needed to leave town and I was recommended to Jeremy, he contacted me explained his process and my mind was at ease, he text me photos of Max and the look on max face I knew he was so happy …. Thank you so much Jeremy we will 100% recommend you and will use your service again”
“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”
“Margaret was a great sitter for our dog Xena. She was responsive, polite, and provided regular updates during Xena's boarding. Xena typically takes a bit to get comfortable, but was quick to integrate with Margaret's dog Mochi. They quickly became best friends and she was clearly enjoying her stay. Thanks Margaret!”
“Tony and Krista are fantastic sitters. They are genuine and reliable, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for.”
“She was very good with her puppy. She was very professional when we met her and kept us constantly updated with pictures and they experience he was having. She met all their needs and above. If needing a sitter for next time we will definitely put her at the top of the list.”
“I was going out of town and needed an affordable and trustworthy pet sitter. Lisa was the perfect fit! She addressed all my concerns and put my mind at ease. Every picture I got of my pup she was happy and in her element as if she was in her own home. I highly recommend Lisa and I will be definitely be a repeat client should I need another pet sitter.”
“Noelle is absolutely fantastic! My dog daughter loves spending time with her and her dogs. Blaze comes back so happy and so cute with the services I have gotten for her. Thank you so much!”
“My dog, Penny, hadn't been to Sheena's in approximately 4 months. When we turned the corner to her house Penny started to get excited in the car and couldn't get out fast enough to greet Sheena! Not only do I enjoy all the videos and updates Sheena gives me while Penny stays with her, but its obvious my dog loves her stays at Sheena's too!”
“Poppy and Baloo have stayed with Darby twice now. She is extremely knowledgeable, communicative, and passionate about our dogs. At this point, I would probably cancel a trip before leaving our dogs with anyone else. Darby takes the stress out of leaving our furriest friends behind when we take trips.”
“Ashleigh took amazing care of our frenchie and sent lots of updates during his stay.She accommodated us for a last minute stay and sent us home with a happy and tired pup. 🥰 THANK YOU”
“John was great with our shy pup, Bear. The photos and updates were wonderful. He was very easy to communicate with, friendly, and immediately put me at ease knowing he’s a long-time dog person. Our pup was exhausted when we got home so he got plenty of walks and all the fetch he could have wanted. I will gladly reach out to John again in the future!”
“James is an awesome sitter!! His property enabled our dogs to explore, roam and have a blast! He sent us pictures and they looked so happy, having fun outside. I also appreciated him sending pictures of them sitting on his couch, so we knew they were being loved on in the home. Highly recommend James!”
“Absolutely wonderful with my puppy Dante. Good communication, friendly and sent me updates for peace of mind. I will definitely be using them again when I am out of town or need a break from puppy. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Yelm
The best dog sitters always willing to work with us, and our dogs both love going there. It's hard to get them back home. Lots of pictures and great communication. And willing to go out of their way to meet our needs. I just wish we could take them with us when we move.
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 $32.55 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 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 July 2026, there are 1,188 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.
