“Rochelle did an amazing job taking care of my little guy. He really enjoyed his stay with her. She sent pictures, videos, and updates that were ever much appreciated. She also was very flexible with drop off and pickup times. I will definitely be bringing him back!”
“Goose stayed with Patrick for 26 days and he loved it. Patrick sent us multiple photos and videos every day showing what they were doing and when goose was going to bed. Patrick took goose on daily walks which I just know he loved. This was the first time I’ve ever been away from goose and Patrick made it a wonderful experience. Definitely will be booking with him again!!”
“Sheila was fabulous! I was nervous leaving my sweet puppy for the first time and for a whole week at that but she made me feel so comfortable the moment I dropped my Charli girl off. She sent videos throughout the week and Charli was a very happy girl when I picked her up. 10/10 recommend!”
“Marci is THE BEST pet sitter. I couldn’t imagine leaving Mr. Darcy with anyone else. She truly loves all the animals she has in her care and will do anything to keep them safe and happy.”
“Anthony was so accommodating and understanding when my flight home was cancelled for 3 days due to the February freeze. During that stressful time, it was a weight off my shoulders to know that my Yorkie was well taken care of back home!”
“I strongly recommend Honey had a blast. Cried on the way back home. Be prepared to have a sleepy dog and some amazing pics of their stay. Definitely would book again.”
“Ruby seemed to really love it here! She was happy and smiling when we arrived. We were in a bind and had to find somebody the night before going out of town for 6 days and she was willing and available.”
“I can’t thank you enough for watching Arthur and Parker, they were fast asleep on the way home which tells me that they had an amazing time with you both and Lucy! We are so grateful to have found Richard and Stephanie because they understand the energy of boxers and were more than happy to help them use up that energy. We appreciated the communication and especially the pictures, thank you so much! I highly recommend Richard and Stephanie.”
“We are extremely satisfied with the care our Bullies received. Blair is very passionate about what she does and cared for our pets as if they were her own. We felt safe with them being with her and will take them back anytime. ❤️”
“Lauren & Justin are so awesome. They they kept me updated daily and sent me at least two pictures a day of my puppy. I am definitely going to book with them again.”
“Dayna is amazing! She has been available on short notice every time. The dogs are happy and excited to go to her home and I don't have to worry about them. Thank you Dayna for being awesome....and you entire family!”
“Perfect! If you're looking to have great care for your pet look no further. Our dog had a wonderful stay with them. They have 2 dogs of their own that he played with and kept him company. He also loved the attention from Aldrin and Teresa. They are a sweet friendly couple. Someone was always home to watch them and they took him on plenty of walks. That really helps when our dog is in a new place with new faces. We also appreciate their organization and communication skills. They confirmed the appointment the day before, asked good questions about our dog and provided just the right amount of pics/updates. The attention to detail is very much appreciated. We will definitely use them in the future and I know our dog will be looking forward to it.”
“Perfect hosts for us and our dogs! It's the first time we've used Rover, but I'm so glad we did. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at ease—great communication, very attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. A special mention to Jessica, who has her own bakery/pastry business—she even gifted us some of her products, and they were absolutely delicious. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and genuinely caring hosts.”
“Our Biscuit loves Jessica. He gets excited when we pull up to drop him off when we go out of town. She is great at keeping us updated and taking amazing care of our pup. We have done some last minute request and she had been so amazing every time. Thankful for someone we can trust to love our pup while we are away.”
“Lydia was perfect!! She took great care of my girl & made sure to send updates from day-day. She was very responsive & my girly had a blast playing with her other dog & children. 100% this is your go-to dog sitter, will definitely book again if needed!!!”
“Lauren and her family loved on our Zoe girl like their own and made the time away from her much easier!! We were pleasantly impressed by her thorough updates and the attention she gave to her. For her first time away from us, Zoe had some setbacks and separation anxiety and Lauren handled it effortlessly. We highly recommend this sitter!! Your pet will not only be in good hands, but she will send helpful pictures and updates to ease the mind of their humans as well!”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful with both of our dogs—our aging 13-year-old miniature schnauzer and our very active schnauzer/Cairn terrier mix. She went above and beyond by even providing her own wraps when our senior pup started having some out-of-character accidents. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was so attentive and compassionate. Her dogs, Cooper and Bandit, are adorable and our pups loved running around with them in her large, fenced backyard. It’s such a relief knowing our babies are in such good hands!”

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 .

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.
96% 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.
