“Rochelle was wonderful. Reggie is high maintenance with his ball obsession. Matilda just wants to stay on the couch. Both dogs were tired from all the amazing play. Thanks again for your amazing care of our fur babies.”
“5 stars! Luis is exceptional! I actually was worried that Coco wouldn't want to leave with us after the 2days we left her there. Communication was excellent, everything was just perfect. Thanks a lot”
“Marci was GREAT!! It was our first time leaving Elliott and I wasn’t sure how he’d do. But he loved it! So much so I think he was hesitant to get in the car to go home lol we will definitely ask Marci to care for our boy again!”
“Our dog was well taken care of with Anthony and his family. We could tell that she was happy when we picked her up, so happy that I don’t think she wanted to leave.”
“What a great weekend my dog had with Richard and Stephanie. They were very mindful of my sweet senior dog. So much love and tender care. He sent pictures and videos of her and her antics. This is the first time she hasn't lost weight or hasn't eaten the first day of her stay. I highly recommend Richard and Stephanie.”
“Perfect! My husband and I needed a place to board our dog last minute and Jill answered immediately. She made sure we knew what to bring and expect and let us see her space and how our Bailey interacted with her dogs before leaving. This was my first time leaving her with someone else and using this site. Bailey seemed to enjoy it! I felt at ease leaving her with Jill while I was away! Thanks, Jill!”
“Nancy was great. She sent me videos and pictures of my dog while I was away. This was my first time with Nancy and I will be a repeat customer definitely. Nancy and her husband were very kind and my dog seemed to really enjoy them and their little doggies.”
“This was my first time using this app and I found Sheila with amazing reviews. Let me tell you those reviews did not disappoint. I was nervous to leave my girls with anyone but she took the time to get to know my pups prior to the stay. When it was time to leave them, I knew instantly that they were in good hands. I am picky with who I trust with my babies and Sheila took care of them like their own. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for everything she’s done. Thank you again!!!”
“Our dog Juniper lived her absolute best life at Blair and Blake’s. Blair did an amazing job checking in, sending pictures, and making me feel at ease while out of state. I highly recommend them!!”
“This is my second time booking with Natalia and I genuinely love having her as our dog sitter. Her and her family are so welcoming towards our pets, consistent updates, and always respond within 2-3 hours. Highly recommend”
“I cannot recommend Vimonluck highly enough! From the moment I left my dog in her care, I felt completely at ease. She went above and beyond in every way, administering his medications exactly as needed, spending quality time playing with him, and making sure he felt loved and comfortable while I was away. One thing I especially appreciated was the daily updates. She consistently sent pictures, videos, and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for he was. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. When I unexpectedly needed to extend his stay by an extra day, she didn't hesitate to accommodate me, which was incredibly helpful and greatly appreciated. Her flexibility, kindness, and dedication made all the difference. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive to care for your pet, I would absolutely recommend her. My dog was happy, healthy, and clearly loved while in her care, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I didn't get to meet Jennifer this time, but Justin was so nice. They took my energetic puppy with short notice, and he had a blast, he came back all played out lol. I would love for them to be Huck's sisters anytime I'm away”
“Words cannot express how grateful we are for Mrs. Trudie and her family. This was our first time ever using an over night sitter for our dog. The entire time she communicated via text with updates and pictures. This made us feel at peace he was well taken care of. We definitely recommend and will be using her again in the near future!”
“Absolutely wonderful, communicated efficiently and handled him with love and care. She was really nice and friendly. Definitely great with animals my pup felt right at home with her.”
“Tabitha has the most calm & kindest spirit which made her immediately warm & welcoming each time we arrived to her home. We very much appreciated all the pics & communication about Khloe & Max the whole time we were away. She has the perfect amount of mixture of patience and presence with the dogs. Our dogs were calm at pick-up and it was obvious they were in excellent care. Our family will definitely be returning.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Josh made it very easy. He communicated really quickly especially when I had to book last minute. Sent me lots of photos of my dog playing/cuddling/etc. Would def recommend Josh and I’ll be using him again in the future!”
“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!”
“Melinda and her family are the best! They really went above and beyond taking care of my dogs. She sent regular updates and photos, and even included some new toys in their bag to take home. Her house and yard were spotless. I highly recommend her and will be using her again for my next trip.”

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.
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.
