“Our dog had a great time at Kimberlee's house and got along with her other two dogs. She went above and beyond and relieved my anxiety about leaving my dog for the first time with a Rover sitter. We'll be sure to book with her again in the future!”
“Elizabeth is a great sitter, she is caring and kind. Her personal touch with our Jazmin was very heartwarming. Would definitely recommend, and will use her services again.”
“He took such great care of my puppy. It was hard leaving him for the first time but I loved getting pictures of him while he was there. I’m so glad to have found a great dog sitter to care for my little Teddy.”
“Dale is amazing! I’ve taken my dog to a kennel before and this was 10 times better. I dropped off two dogs to Dale last minute for 5 nights and he took great care of them. One of our dogs is newly adopted from the shelter and can be a bit skittish, but he warmed up to Dale right away. He sent multiple pictures everyday and I felt way better knowing they were around Dale and other dogs 24/7 instead of being left in a kennel most of the day. I’m definitely taking my dogs back to Dale.”
“I am always very skeptical about leaving my anxious boy with anybody, but Tabby was very reassuring and so sweet and patient with my anxious boy!! I will definitely be using her again, very kind and considerate and extremely understanding!”
“I was worried about how Rory would do as per of the pack but she did great! Thanks Pamela. Pamela was attentive, reassuring and sent me updates regularly. I felt very comfortable and at ease with her taking care of my poodle.”
“Terra was a great host for Luna, out white shepherd. Luna is a bit timid around new people, but she adjusted well in Terra's care. Loved being pictures daily, peace of mind for my husband and I that she was fitting in. 110% happy and will call on her in the future.”
About: Hi I'm Lucy! I’m a dog mom, so I’m home full time and able to give your pup lots of love, attention, playtime, and plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and truly enjoy making them feel happy, comfortable, and at home. I have two sweet pups of my own, Luna, my 5-year-old Maltipoo, and Milo, my 8-month-old Maltese Pomeranian. They’re both friendly, playful, and enjoy having little furry friends around! I specialize in caring for small dogs under 15 lbs, which helps me provide a cozy and comfortable environment for little pups. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routine and give them plenty of cuddles and companionship while you’re away. Your little one will be treated like part of our family! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m a SAHW, so I’m home full time and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup the attention and care they need. My days already revolve around caring for my own two pups, Luna and Milo, so feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of cuddles are a regular part of my day. Your pup will easily become part of our routine and get plenty of love and companionship while they’re here. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your pup will be treated like part of the family. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special routines. Since I’m home full time, your pup will get plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard where pups can safely enjoy outdoor play and potty breaks, plus two friendly small dogs, Luna and Milo, to keep them company!
“10/10 would recommend!! My dog Moose absolutely loved Mia because she felt like she was at home and loved her to pieces while I was gone. Great communication and also a plus she kept sending me pictures which I love.”
“It’s obvious why Jacob is a star sitter! This was the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family or close friends, so naturally, I was very nervous to leave him. Jacob was very thorough, communicative, and caring. My Doberman LOVED the attention he received from Jacob, his wife, and his two kiddos. Thank you so much, we’ll be back super soon!!”
“Yvan was great with our dogs! They stayed with him while we were at Universal. He take very good care of them, feed them and sent us pics super often. We will definitely call him back!”
About: I have a love of all dogs, I have three of my own (bichòn frisèe, beagle lab mix, and a German shepherd) so I have experience caring for dogs of all size. I am passionate about treating animals with respect and care as if they are family and helping in anyway I can. I am an active duty military member so working with dogs offers a win, win situation for the owners, pets and me. The owners get peace of mind that their furry friend(s) is well taken care of, the pets get my unconditional attention, care and love and I get an opportunity to destress ( by doing drop ins where I feed, pet and play with the dog), and exercise. I can’t wait! I work about 5 minutes away from home so I often stop by throughout the day for bathroom breaks and play time. I also have the ability to work from home. I always treat pets and homes with cars and respect. Timeliness is included in said respect so I will ensure to be on time and prompt.
About: We are empty nesters that love our pets and have found it hard to find quality sitters for them. This has led us to open our home to pups that need a place to stay where they can be a part of our family temporarily. We work full-time during the week and are home in the evening and on weekends. My spouse works from home most days. Pets are fed in the morning and let out to play and then are fed in the evening and out for play time. Our backyard is fenced with a six-foot privacy fence. Our pets have full home access when we are home. All pets have access to water all day and are fed twice a day, We crate train our pets and do use crates for our puppy that is learning to be potty trained. All our pets are seen twice a year by our vet and get all recommended vaccines and are on flea and heartworm preventatives.
About: I've taken care of family dogs for ~12years, and have my own ~80lb gentle giant Pyrenees who has taught me alot about how a calm presence influences a dogs demeanor!! I will provide a safe, fun, playful space & treat your dog as my own!! My dog LOVES little kids, small dogs, and big dogs. She is a protector dog & will be gentle with the little ones & love to play rough w the big ones 🥰 Although my dog is spayed, I only accept uneuetered male dogs on a case by case basis (though I am sure they are sweet 🫶) I am free nearly every weekend!! I work Monday through Friday every week, and spend my evenings and weekends at home with my pup! Would love to have yours join us! I can provide separate spaces as needed, crate time, quiet time, or 1-one-1 play. Fenced in yard or a quiet space on the couch, we'll make it work!
“A huge thank you to Annie for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby. He can be a handful at tilmes. Thank you also for the communication, letting me know how he was doing. It made my trip much better, knowing he was getting loving care. I would definitely use her again in the future. Thank you again Annie. Jan”

I employ what I describe as the perfect balance of a dog being in a home setting it's used to while also having the security on the individual dog level of a kennel boarding facility. I have been with pets all throught our lives. I can administer oral medications if it’s needed and will be willing to give baths if asked. I would love to walk your fur baby and shower them with love. I treat the clients pet like they are my own. I am a Registered Nurse, i work 3 night shifts per week but will be at home whenever I’m not working. I will make sure that your fur babies will be well taken care. I am living in an apartment with a decent backyard. I love taking our pet for a walk during mornings and evenings for potty and playtime. I will make sure that your pets will have enough water and food for the rest of their stay. I have lots of dog beds and a crate that your pet can crash in whenever they want.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Abilene 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 36 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Abilene. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Abilene 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 Abilene.
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 Abilene 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 TX 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.
