“My puppy had never stayed with anyone or other dogs, and Rochelle & her husband were so patient and kind with us both lol. I will be using Rochelle for all of my dog sitting in the future. Highly recommend 💖”
“Patrick is awesome! He took great care of my dog, Hank, for a week while I was away. He provided daily updates with photos and videos, and it was clear on pickup that he made an effort to get to know Hank’s personality and had done so much more than just keep him fed during his stay. Would book again in the future for sure!”
“Luis is great with dogs...and their human conterpart. I have large breed. She has separation anxiety. The first time I left her -back in June- she was panicked about my leaving. However, when I picked her up two days later, I was talking to Luis in the backyard and she was so super relaxed, running around his amazing property having a good time. This last time (November) she didn't panick so much about my lvg. He was honest & open that she showed signs of intial separation anxiety when I first was leaving, but quickly acclimated to having a relaxing time. When I picked her up this time, again while we spoke she was running off to the far back, like she wasn't even bothered if I was leaving. She really likes Luis and his place... as do I -her human ((; ChristaRuth. I'll be going to the area abt once a month now, and will use his great service. So many ppl don't know how to manage dogs. He is not one. Thanks again Luis!”
“I will definitely be bringing Chubbs back to Anthony’s home. Anthony and his family took care of my baby well. I was happy to see him have a good time and also get updates.”
“Freya and Loki had a blast staying with Marci! She took excellent care of them, kept us updated and sent pictures/videos! I knew they were in good hands the whole time! We will definitely rebook in the future! Thank you!!!”
“Richard and Stephanie took such great care of our babies! They were loving, reliable, and made us feel at ease. We’d definitely have them watch our pups again!”
“Nola had a blast with Josh and his family!! Much needed play time and bonding with their dogs and kiddos! High recommend and will be bringing her back soon!”
“Our two pups had a great week with Nancy and came home happy and healthy. Nancy was quick to respond to my questions and sent pictures and videos occasionally. We are very thankful to have such a great sitter for Moxie and Scarlet!”
“Jill and her husband were wonderful. My dog Mulligan has anxiety issues and he immediately felt comfortable in their home. Jill sent pictures during his stay and you could tell Mulligan was having fun. I would highly recommend Jill if you are looking for care for your pet.”
“Samantha was great! We received updates everyday and our dog Breck was worn out from playing with her pups in the backyard when we picked her up. Thanks again!”
“All I can say is wow! They were wonderful with my unexpected plans, taking in my pup an extra night as soon as I asked. I was always kept up to date, and most importnantly, Ruby was dead tired by the time I got her home!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carlos and Jessica! They took such incredible care of my dogs, Dougie and Aggie Sue, while I was away. What I appreciated most was the constant communication; they sent plenty of photos, which gave me such peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and comfortable. My dogs are elderly and have some special needs, including a strict medication routine. I was so impressed with how flawlessly Carlos and Jessica managed everything. It’s such a relief to find sitters who are not only kind and attentive but also capable and responsible with medical needs. I came home to two very happy, well-cared-for dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone, especially those looking for sitters who will treat their pets like family. Thank you both for everything!”
“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!”
“Lucyna did an amazing job with taking care of our Milo. She kept us updated and accommodated us with our special requests. We will definitely use her services again.”

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 1,342 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alvarado. 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.
95% of Alvarado 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 Alvarado 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 Alvarado 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 Alvarado.
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 Alvarado 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.
