“Rochelle is amazing! Both of my fur babies liked her from the minute we went for the meet and greet. We like her too. We just came back from a 5 day trip and they are both excited and happy we are home but show no anxiety and settled right back into our normal routine. I am booking her again for our next weekend getaway!”
“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!”
“Marci is the absolute best! Not one time while on vacation did I worry about my dog because I knew he was in good hands. Marci took time to send us pictures to let us know our dog was having the time of his life. I highly recommend Marci for all your boarding or day care needs.”
“Anthony did a great job with Fendi. She can be a handful and we were a bit worried, but he had no problem with her and said that she was a great guest. She seemed to really enjoy her time with Anthony and his family. We will definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to others.”
“We left for a long extended vacation of 5 weeks. Sheila took great care of our Norwegian Elkhound, Bailey. We had not left Bailey for long periods before so we were started out stressing, but Sheila sent us weekly videos to show us how well Bailey was doing. We will be going away again in the spring and Sheila will be who we will connect with to take Bailey again.”
“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.”
“My dogs always have a fantastic time at Nancy’s! I never have to worry about them when I drop them off and they are always so happy to see her. I know they’re well taken care of. And she’s good with communicating and sending updates!”
“Jill and her family were wonderful for our babies first stay. I felt very at ease and as if she treated them as her own. My little dogs definitely enjoyed their freedom and exploring time. We will be coming back!”
“I don’t think there will ever be a time I dont leave a 5 star review for Blair! Our girls absolutely LOVE Blair and going on their own little vacation to see her! It’s the only place we know our girls will feel as at home as they do with us! They are always taken care of, above and beyond! Blair will love your baby as though they are her own! We are better pet owners for knowing her, and can never speak highly enough about her! Thank you for alway loving our girls!!!”
“Lauren + Justin were such a great fit with my senior dog. They completely embraced her into their normal life routines and were so communicative all throughout the stay! Can’t wait for our next visit.”
“It was wonderful having peace of mind that she was in such good hands while I traveled for work. They kept me updated on how she was doing, and send all kinds of photos so I could still see my Baby Bug 😊 Highly recommend!”
“Samantha & Ryan have repeatedly cared for my fur baby, they always welcome him with open arms. Very flexible and kind. I love having dependable care takers when needed.”
“Darlynh is the best and I'll recommend her over and over. She sent me pictures to see how my buddy was doing. Cooper was shy initially and, I felt bad leaving him. But before I made it home, I received a picture of him all settled in and comfortable. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.”
“Shawndra was absolutely wonderful. She took amazing care of both of my dogs and sent the sweetest picture updates throughout their stay. I will definitely be using her again — highly recommend!”
“Thanks for providing such good care of my baby. I especially enjoyed the many photo updates you sent us. I was nervous, as this was the first time he stayed with a stranger and other dogs, but you made us feel comfortable with the updates. I felt that my Coco was well taken care of and definitely recommend you to others.”
“We found Dayna on short notice for a quick weekend in San Antonio. She kept us in the loop as we have two older english bulldogs, but they looked to have a ton of fun and seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. We would absolutely recommend Dayna to anyone and will be using her again if she has openings when we are looking for a dog sitter.”
“From the initial meet and greet, my Belgian Malinois 1 1/2 year old puppy took to Trudie and her husband, (also a trainer). Anyone that know Mals, know they are extremely active and energetic. I was worried if she would be too much work. They spent time getting to know Raven so that when I left her 2 days later, she was at ease at her "vacation"home. The back yard is fenced in well, outdoor kennels, and play space. Trudie has excellent communication, photos, and updates and fair prices! They said Raven was sweet, so that tells me she was comfortable with them. I will definitely book again, and the drop off and pick up were seamless. These are dog lovers, and Raven got to meet their dog on the intro visit. THANK YOU!!!☆☆☆☆☆”
“First time boarding my grandpups Tobias and Franklin. Tabitha was awesome. Her videos, pictures. and updates made the experience perfect. Our babies had a great time and we were able to relax knowing they were in great hands.”
“Melinda is so professional and great with Krash! He can be a bit of a handful and high energy and she handles him so well. She was even super gracious to me when I had travel complications and was a few hours late to pick him up. 10/10 recommend Melinda”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alvarado on Rover is $32.1 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 1,345 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.
