“Mollie had a great time with Ashley and her family! From the many photos I was sent it looked like she was very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Ashely and her family for your pet!”
“Wendy was amazing in the care of our 2 elderly boxers. They were loved and cared for, as if it were by us. She was great in giving updates on the dogs, and giving medication at specific times. Was able to enjoy my trip, knowing they were in great hands.”
“We love having Milo stay with Andrea! He’s stayed with her family several times and always has so much fun. Her dog and Milo get along wonderfully and he’s even made friends with other dogs who come to stay. We get lots of pictures and she’s always very adaptable. I feel comfortable knowing Milo is safe, happy and cared for like family!”
“Our fur-baby, Shamrock, immediately felt comfortable with Angelo. When we dropped Shamrock off, we were expecting him to not want to go. However, he was comfortable with Angelo right away. I am a firm believer that dogs know which humans are good ones. Angelo also sent us a daily picture, which we truly appreciated.”
“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.”
“Milo loved staying with Amy and her family! I really appreciated how communicative she was. We got lots of photos of Milo cuddling with her kids and videos of him playing fetch with her dog, Fez. I felt comfortable knowing Milo was safe, happy and loved like family!”
“Christy was wonderful with our dog! She sent regular updates and pictures and kept us informed about how she was doing. We will definitely be booking with Christy again!”
“Sammy was a happy boy during his visit. When we picked him up he looked great. We appreciated the pictures Michelle sent. It was wonderful knowing Sammy was in a safe and caring home.”
“Amazing. I think my dog is better and happier from spending time with Thi and Jace. I'm very grateful for how gentle and attentive they were and how they kept her active during her stay. I couldn't be happier!”
“Caitlin’s home was a wonderful place for our dog, Hazel, to stay while we were away! She has an amazing backyard and the home feels very safe and loving for dogs. Caitlin was accommodating of our schedule for dropoff and pickups and sent periodic updates and pictures of our senior pup that put our minds at ease. We feel lucky to have found such a great dogsitter in the area!”
“HUSKY APPROVED!! I received constant communication along with photos. He was patient and kind with her that when she was dropped off she wanted to go with him! She went for frequent and long walks with his other dog so she made a best friend! Thank you, Rolland! I will be reaching out to you for doggy daycare!”
“Susan is outstanding! We left our border collie, Luna, with Susan for 19 days in the summer. We received multiple pictures on a daily basis of Susan and her family playing and relaxing around the house with Luna. Luna also had a wonderful time playing with the other guest dogs! We will be sure to set up short babysitting dates for Luna to play with other dogs! Easily five stars!!”
“Synamon and her family did a fabulous job making my dog Candy feel like she was at home. They were all very sweet and genuine. I will definitely book them again in the future. They treat your pet as if she were part of their family.”
“The experience was fantastic for the first time using Rover! I was unsure how Rover worked, but Dana made our experience with our family pet very assuring. Meeting Dana was a positive outcome. The meet and greet was very welcoming and for our dog. She made our dog feel right at home and treated him like family. I felt that our dog was going to be well taken care of. Dana provided pictures keeping us informed. I was happy how the dogs in her care are able to run freely around a well secured fence. Dana went above and beyond our expectations. She gained our trust. We are very grateful and appreciative that Dana showed love and care for little Snoopy. I highly recommend Dana.”
“Very responsive. I traveled to Houston and needed a last minute sitter and she responded immediately. She kept me updated on my fur baby the entire time. Nice big yard, which my little one enjoyed . I will for sure be booking with her again. Oh, and she gave my baby a bath and trimmed her nails. Top tier 😊”
“Penny was Well Cared for, Happy and Content while staying with Brandon and his family. Stayed in communication at all times. She also had a buddy to play with that was her size. A perfect fit! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby..... T”
“Lori was absolutely fabulous with our fur baby!! The day we dropped off our baby he developed an ear infection. She had no problems giving him his ear drops from the vet. We received daily pics and updates on his daily activities. We would highly recommend Lori taking care of your loved one. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Max got attached to Ms Heather during his stay, which is exactly what we hoped to see. He was happy to be home but in great spirits. So nice to have a safe and friendly environment to leave him in while out of town.”
“Simply amazing! 🤩 Silvia and her family did an amazing job caring for my fur babies. I don’t even think they missed me at all. Silvia went above and beyond for me this go around and I am forever thankful to her. When my pups are with her, I know they are happy and well taken care of. Thanks for everything! ❤️”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alvin on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,890 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.
