“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!”
“They treated our dogs great. Couldn’t be happier. Nice house with a small back yard. Friendly resident dogs. Maren and Jonathan are dog lovers. We will use them again. We enjoyed some pictures of our happy dogs while we were away.”
“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!”
“We were so pleased with Marie's time in Jamie's home. We got updates (photos and a video) and communication was top notch! Our pup is usually anxious when away from home but she settled right in and we are already booking our next stay. I can not recommend Jamie enough! Thank you for watching Marie!”
“Diahann and family are the first family that I leave my 4 month old puppy Simba with. I was worried because he is a clingy little guy but from the many photos Diahann shared with me, I can tell that he has found his home away from home. I have no doubt that Simba was loved and cared for as if he is one of their own and as a fur mom that's the best feeling in the world. I will definitely be reaching out to Diahann for additional pup sleepovers”
“Katrina and her family were great with dog, Louie. We were in Thailand for two weeks but the pictures and updates that Katrina would send helped us to miss him just a little bit less. They took great care of him and we are already planning our next trip :)”
“We highly recommend Darby to anyone and everyone - she is the absolute best to our dog, Spencer! We never worry about his well being or safety when he is with her, and that is a gift ❤️”
“Kristine was amazing!!! This is our third time using Rover, first time using Kristine. She was by far the best person we have used on this app! She had great communication and daily pictures. We had to book last minute for a family emergency and she was super understanding and easy to work with! Unlike one of the other people we have used on here, she actually operates out of her home so you don’t need to worry about your dog being in a kennel all day! He got plenty of playtime and love from what it looks like and he was super happy and tired when we picked him up! We will 100% use Kristine again!!”
“Amanda was great with our fur babies. She kept us up to date on their well being and providing us with some pictures. We will be plan our future vacations with her in mind.”
“Maggie did a wonderful job with Summer. It was reassuring to know that Summer was in a safe and happy place while we were away. I got regular updates and I know by the smile on Summer's face in the pics that she was happy with Mochi! Definitely will be returning for my future sitting needs. Thank you Maggie!”
“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”
“Ashleigh's is the first home we've ever allowed our two pups to stay. She makes them feel part of her family, and treats us just as well. Dealing with her is always a joy!”
“Jerrie sent photos and updates everyday. She was so kind and thoughtful in her communications all throughout the pre-booking and three week long boarding experience. We've never left our dog so long and were comforted to know he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired out.”
“Volund loves Sheena and we feel super comfortable with her taking him. Didn't even get out of the truck before he was so excited to get into her house for his second "play-cation" Thank you!”
“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.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the love and care she provided for my baby while I was out of country. Highly recommend her for pet boarding. She’s amazing and will use her again for all future boarding. Very happy and grateful for her service.”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,166 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.
