“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.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Andrea! She watched my two pups and took great care of them. She was very responsive, sent picture updates throughout the stay, and my dogs came home happy and relaxed. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Amy was wonderful taking care of our dog! It was our first time boarding her anywhere so I was a little anxious but I didn't have to worry at all. Amy gave consistent updates and our dog had an absolute blast! I could tell she was very loved. We will be booking again next time we go on vacation!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Leon and the family are all great! I know Laika is in good hands - this was my third time (I think) leaving my dog with them. Communication is great and he also sends me photos and updates and never an issue with pick up or drop off. Leon is always my first option with pet sitting!”
“Brandon is a great host and treated our lab well. He was very good about giving our dog plenty of play time and attention, while being mindful of the summer heat. Brandon’s dog was also very nice and got along easily with our lab.”
“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!”
“We just love Dana and feel so confident in her taking care of our dog when we have to be out of town. My dog absolutely loves her and his canine friends at her house. She sends cute pictures everyday so that we can see is happy, healthy and having fun. Thanks Dana!”
“They took such great care of Bali. They sent pictures every day along with updates on how he's doing. He looked very happy with his tail wagging in the pictures. I missed him a lot but felt good knowing he was well taken care of. I'm glad they don't have crates and love the big fenced in backyard for him to run around.”
“Heather was awesome and helpful with last minute changes. My dog looked happier coming home than other daycares I’ve tried! She was definitely worn out and sleeping alllll day when I got her home.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Our boys had the absolute best time with Thi. They were spoiled beyond belief I didn’t think they’d want to come home. Thank you for being amazing with our boys!”
“Mariah made sure my dog was right at home! I loved getting the picture updates and she went out of her way to make my girl comfortable. We are thrilled we can rest easy while away.”
“Estephania was great with my fur baby. She provided regular updates and included him in their family activities. Would highly recommended and will use her again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alvin on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of August 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 August 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.
