“Rachel takes care of our dogs (young and old). So we'll, we're at ease seeing them have fun with their vacation family. Seriously giving such an endorsement is a little of a conflict of interest lol, because if she's already watching dogs then might not be available for us, but it's where we prefer to take our pups”
“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!”
“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!!”
“5 STARS!!!! I am very pleased with out dog's stay with Jeremy. He sent me updated throughout the day as well as pictures. I could tell the way my dog was acting after I picked him up that he got lots of attention and love with Jeremy. Will definitely be booking with him again!!”
“Marlena looked after our 2 dogs one of which is blind, while we explored the park, she was incredible! Very friendly and caring, provided updates and pictures throughout the day and took great care of our babies!”
“We received daily updates and pictures of Chewy which we really appreciated. Keep was also very responsive to questions, and promptly communicated, which put our minds at ease. Chewy looked brushed, and even smelled good when picked her up. Overall experience was so much better than boarding her at a kennel!”
“Maggie was caring with our dog & great with communication when our family schedule required some flexibility. I felt like she was very responsive and would book w her again without hesitation.”
“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.”
“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.”
“In many cases, I would say that my dog has separation anxiety. But, she likes to spend time at Darby's house. And, I think that sometimes she is a bit miffed when we pick her up!”
“My Maltese Celeste had a wonderful stay with Ashleigh and her husband: lots of stimulation including walks around the lake, romping with her doggies, stealing their toys and being cuddled. Highly recommend her.”
“Sheena and her family were the best decision we've ever made regarding our dogs. They were wonderful at communicating during our trip and we could tell our pups were happy and stress free while they were gone.”
“James took amazing care of our dog Arlo over an extended weekend. James sent photos and a video. We could tell that Arlo was having a great time playing and running around with the other dogs. We felt comfortable knowing he was in a safe and comfortable home setting. We will definitely use James again in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.
