“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Yes, that’s right. Six stars (out of 5). You couldn’t leave your pup in better hands than Chayna’s. I just picked up my dog from a week with Chayna, and there is no way the experience could have been better. Chayna truly loves dogs and treated my pup with so much care and love. I know this because she was in frequent communication, sending me pictures of my sweet dog. I never worried for a second that my pup wasn’t just being taken care of, but was on her own doggy vacation. Chayna was responsive, flexible, and sweet. Book with her! I will, anytime I need my pup watched.”
“Cassandra has watched our pup twice now and we are very thankful we found her. Not only am I confident she is treating me baby like her own, I know she is safe and happy. She always sends me pics and videos throughout the stay and she plays really well with her pups!”
“Danielle was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, Turner, over the weekend and made sure he was happy and well cared for. She kept me updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout the weekend, which gave me peace of mind. She is also incredibly friendly, personable, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Danielle and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Ms Becky was absolutely Amazing with my pup Cali, and Cali enjoyed been there with Ms Becky. The one thing Cali had to adapt to Ms Becky until she was comfortable it’s turned out to be an amazing experience for her. I definitely recommend Ms Becky. She definitely took good care of Cali for a weekend while my husband and I was attending an event out of town🤗 Thank you again Ms Becky, We definitely will be back😃”
About: With eight years of experience, I specialize in personalized care for a wide range of animals, including reptiles and livestock. I am skilled in working with animals of all ages, administering medications, and providing extra care for those with special needs. I am currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule. Because of this, I am free throughout the week, only needing to leave your pet to attend classes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I maintain their routines, provide attentive care, and create a calm environment to ensure they feel secure while their owner is away.
About: I have loved and cared for all sorts of animals (dogs, cats, fish, birds,...) since I was a child. Friends and family know they can count on me to deliver great care for these important members of the family. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages, even anxious pets, and can administer medication. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I am available anytime to care for your pet. I will feed, walk, and snuggle as much as needed, and am happy to send photo updates. I have a large fenced-in yard and a friendly 8 year old chiweenie who can easily be separated if your pet isn't ok with other dogs. I am happy to keep your housebroken pet in my home or will travel to yours.
“Abby was great. Communication was quick and easy, she wants to make sure all dogs that stay with her are vaccinated and healthy, and I felt that Milo was in very good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay with her again. Thank you!”
“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and thank goodness I found Amanda!! Wow! She had an outstanding response rate to all of my texts and calls. She even sent me pictures of my dog to reassure me she was ok because she knew I was nervous about her being an escape artist. When I picked up my dog both times, my girl seemed so content & happy. Amanda and her husband have a big beautiful home and give lots of love and care to their animals. I’m using her anytime I’m in this area again. Such a relief 🦋”
“Shannon and Billy were fantastic with our 2 pups while we were out of town. Great updates and lots of activities during their stay. They were happily worn out when they came back home. Definitely recommend!!”
“Adriana is a great dog sitter. She sent me pictures and videos that showed my dogs were very happy with her, as well as information about how they were adjusting to staying with her. I appreciated all of it, and will use her again when I need a dog sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous about having someone outside our family to watch my girls especially since it was to be a 5 night stay. I had several Meet and Greets with 4 different people ahead of time and ended up loving me some Brittany! She's such a sweetheart and I could tell immediately she and her hubby loved dogs. Their relaxed home and living environment gave the girls freedom to roam and perfect for them to chill (I was worried about them being nervous). Their nice sized fenced yard and even an extra room for their "quiet time" (I have an older doxy and she can be a bit temperamental at times) were great as well. All that with the updates and pics Brittany sent me I never worried a minute about them. ----- I will no doubt use them again! ----- Thanks Brittany!”
“I would come back! Tre is caring, sweet and you can tell Mayzie enjoyed her time with Tre and Mocha. Sometimes delay in message responses, but never late. Trè was flexibile and easy to work with.”
“Rudy absolutely loved staying with Avery at her place! She and her husband are so kind and it's obvious they love dogs and care for them as they would their own. Rudy loved going on walks and cuddling. I highly recommend Avery as a petsitter and I know Rudy would love to stay with her again!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alvin is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $31 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Alvin 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 Alvin 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 Alvin.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alvin. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Alvin 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 GA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
