“Andrea took great care of our two dogs. She has a black lab who gets along with most other dogs. My dogs and hers wore each other out playing in the backyard. I also appreciate that Andrea or her husband are at home during the day.”
“An excellent experience for the second time in a row! Leaving Frida with Mr Leon and his family gives me complete peace of mind. They take care of her with incredible love and dedication. They are always in touch and send me photos to show me what a great time she's having. Frida adores them, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to leave her with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my frida! 🙏🏻🙏🏻”
“Our bluebell loves visiting Ms. Ashley. They have a spacious yard for all the running and games! They treat our pup like family and trust that she is loved and well cared for while we are away.”
“I can not say enough great things about Wendy. This was my first time leaving my Millie with someone or even being away from her for longer then 2 days and Wendy made it so easy for me. I had so much peace knowing she was caring for my dog. She sent me pictures, videos, and updates consistently. It made me feel so good knowing she was in such great hands. Millie loved being with her. She was even sad leaving her. Wendy is the only one I will ever trust my girl with. Millie loved her and so do I. If you need someone who truly cares and loves pets, Wendy is the one to go with. You will love her. She is kind, patient, and so loving. She has such a welcoming home. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Angela is the perfect dog Grandmother!! She will love on your dogs like they are her on. She keeps you updated with pictures and videos. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“I had an excellent experience with Johnny! He was incredibly friendly, kept me updated with great communication throughout my dog's stay, and made me feel completely at ease. It was clear my dog was well cared for and treated with kindness. The biggest sign of how wonderful the experience was? My dog came home happy, relaxed, and with absolutely no anxiety (like he usually does at other boarding places). I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust him to care for my dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing! I have a dog that is a little temperamental and Angelo was willing to give him a chance and did amazing with him. Provide me pictures, videos, and when I checked in he answered me promptly. Will definitely use again. Thank you for taking wonderful care of Hachi!”
“Thi and Jace took great care of Tex. They sent lots of pictures of him having fun. He came home happy and full of energy. I will definitely ask them to dog sit in the future.”
“We left our boys with Michelle for an 18 day stay. I was initially concerned that my dogs would not behave for her but they settled into comfort with her quickly. Michelle treated our dogs like her own and we will definitely be using her for sittings again.”
“Ashley was amazing and took such great care of Hardy! She was very responsive, communicated all the time, and also sent pictures throughout the day. You can tell she cared for Hardy as if he was her own, and we greatly appreciate it!”
“Roland truly went above and beyond our expectations. For nine days, he cared for Angel and Lady as if they were his own, and their happy, healthy appearance clearly reflected his dedication. His daily photos and updates eased my worries, making me feel confident they were in good hands. Angel and Lady have definitely found a second home with Roland! We sincerely thank you, Roland—-your service is outstanding! May you continue to be a blessing to others as you have been to us.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Cassie and Ace with Lori. She was so nice and convenient that I didn’t feel like I was a burden. I will definitely be using Lori again!”
“Carrie was beyond incredible—truly a lifesaver! She stepped in without hesitation for our last-minute emergency and took phenomenal care of our 2-year-old dog. This was his very first time away from home, and she made him feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable from day one. What meant the world to us was that she kept us updated every single day with pictures and messages, which gave us so much reassurance and peace of mind. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. We knew our pup was not just cared for, but truly cherished. If you’re looking for someone you can trust 100% with your pet, Carrie is the one—no hesitation, no second thoughts. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍”
“Ariel took excellent care of my Bailey, so glad to have made the connection. I appreciated Ariel for sending pictures and updates without asking, definitely made me feel comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will book again!!”
“It all went very smoothly, and great communication. Although I didn't need it, he does offer drop-off/pick-up as well! They came back (ready to be home, obviously), cared for and exhausted after playing with his pup for a few days! I will use him again!”
“Thank you Susan for your special care and boarding our Burley during our short vacation trip. Burley enjoyed staying with you and came home very happy and playful.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alvin on Rover is $32.75 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 1,865 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alvin. 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.
96% of Alvin 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 Alvin 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 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.
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 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.
