“Vimonluck was such a breathe of fresh air and gave me so much peace of mind when watching Hershey! She provided updates, pictures, and videos. Hershey was living her best life playing my hide and seek with Vimonluck’s dog Miso! I’d definitely recommend and rebook with Vimonluck on future occasions. Thank you so much!”

“Lisa is an exceptional option for dog boarding! She watched over both of our dogs during a long weekend with family and we never worried once about the care they were receiving. She is extremely easy to work with and very flexible. Our dogs came home happy and healthy (even the 14 year old little chihuahua). We will definitely be booking with Lisa again in the future!”

“I’m so happy to have found Ms. Yvette! She was very accommodating with drop off & pick up times. My little guy also has to take daily medications and she followed the medication directions and took him on daily short walks. He even made a new friend with another boarder. My pup looked very well upon pickup and in even better health so I’m convinced that she not only administered medications correctly but was also gave him the love & attention he’s used to. She sent messages daily & allowed him to sleep in her bed as well as sending photos. As long as she’s in business, Ms. Yvette will be my go-to person to care for my pup if I need to go out of town. Her home is clean and she’s trust worthy & responsible.”

“Erica was amazing! She kindly took on Bruce with no complaints even though he was a puppy. She kept me updated everyday and sent numerous photos for me to view which helped us stress less about leaving Bruce after just welcoming him into our family not too long ago. Erica is well prepped with toys, snacks, and play areas for any cat or dog and I highly recommend her for your pup or kitty!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve house sat and cared for dogs in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very active with my own dog and go to the dog park daily, so I’m confident handling playful, energetic dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I prioritize safety, consistency, and giving every pet the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to give your pets lots of time and attention. I do have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2pm, but I’m available before and after, as well as all day on other days. I’m usually home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, including trips to the dog park for exercise and socialization. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex with a large dog park available for safe play and exercise. I take pets out for regular potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours and make sure they stay on a consistent routine. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize their safety, whether that means supervising playtime, following feeding schedules, or crating if requested by the owner.

About: I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I provide dependable services including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, while keeping your pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s high-energy exercise or calm, gentle care. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, including photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands. I pride myself on being punctual, trustworthy, and easy to work with, and I aim to build long-term relationships with both pets and their owners. I work a hybrid full-time schedule, which allows me to be home frequently throughout the week. This gives me plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship for your pet during the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, as well as weekends. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully enclosed acre backyard, providing plenty of secure space for dogs to run, play, and get exercise in a safe environment. Inside, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where animals can relax and feel comfortable. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and any special instructions, and I always supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate crate training if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, active, and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Alma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 341 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Alma can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alma 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 Alma.

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 Alma 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.
