“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ashley gave to Ruby! From the moment we dropped her off, Ashley made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos and messages showing how much fun Ruby was having with her dog, and it was clear she treated her like one of her own. Ruby came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Ashley is responsible, kind, and truly amazing with dogs — we highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Andrea was amazing with our pups! It was our first time leaving them since we moved to a new state and she made us feel very comfortable with the meet & greet. She gave me daily pictures and made sure my pups felt at home. Cannot recommend enough!! Will be using her for every vacation coming up!”
“Leon took care my dog for more than one week when flew out of country. My dog was very happy with him and I will definitely use his dog boarding service again”
“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!!!!”
“I had never used Rover but needed someone to watch my 17yo teacup Maltese, Daisy, the weekend of my daughter’s wedding. Amy and her family took such good care of my Daisy and made her feel right at home. The updates with photos helped me know she was being loved and cared for, which gave me such peace during our busy weekend away. I will definitely request Amy and her family again.”
“Angelo is a wonderful Pet Sitter (from a human perspective). He is communicative with daily pictures and very responsive to questions. His home, yard, and set up are perfect for pets. He follows all of your requests even when you forget to send the brush. He doesn't take too many pets at once. He doesn't force them into cages. My dog came home happy and tired, which is a good thing because she was active. I only wish pets could speak and tell us about their experience! Angelo sends a sweet note and homemade treats home with the dog too! I will definitely go back to Angelo.”
“When we needed to board our dog, the decision was easy - Angela. Our dog is 15 years old and needs 3 daily meds. Angela handled this easily. If you want pictures of your dog, she is your sitter. There is no doubt that we will use Angela 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.”
“I cannot say enough great things! We had to go out of town for 5 days, and they took amazing care of my dog. From the updates and photos to the love and attention they gave him, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. When we picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and clearly treated like part of the family. It made being away so much less stressful. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby while we were away! 🐾❤️”
“We hadn’t left our 10-year-old silver Lab with anyone in a long time, and we really didn’t want to board her in a large facility. We were looking for something more personal and calm, and Roland ended up being a perfect fit. Communication was great from the start, which made leaving for an extended Europe trip much easier. Our dog got lots of individual attention and gentle socialization with Roland’s dog Coco, and she was clearly comfortable and happy while we were away. Roland even worked with her on a few behaviors and took the time to show us how to continue that at home, which we really appreciated. We came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for dog. He’ll definitely be our first call for future pet sitting and boarding, and we highly recommend him.”
“Ana was amazing with Toby! She was so sweet and communicated with us the whole time, which really gave us peace of mind. I especially appreciated the videos she sent of Toby running around the yard, it made our day. We’re definitely coming back to her whenever we’re in the Houston area. Highly recommend!”
“Dana took great care of my fur babies. One is blind and needs a little extra care. My dogs felt at home and found their place with a couple of hours. They enjoyed playing with Dana’s dogs, too. I’ll definitely book with her again. Thanks so very much Dana!”
“Angelita was AMAZING with my furbaby! She took time to allow him to get comfortable with her. Her yard can compete with the best dog parks in the city. My furbaby who rather be at the park then home was in absolute heaven!”
“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!”
“Ashley is amazing! Great communication, and she sent us a bunch of photos! My lab got to spend her first birthday at Camp Ashley, swimming, running and playing! Could it be any better? I think she’s going to sleep for the next few days to recover! Thanks for all your personal touches Ashley, we know Kallie was well-loved. ❤️”
“Talley had a wonderful experience with Thi and furry family! She played and enjoyed her nightly walks. I felt comfortable every day I was away knowing Talley was in safe hands! Thanks to Thi, my vacation was an even better experience because I knew Talley was having fun.”
“I needed a last minute sitter and Lori was very accomdating. My girl came home happy and got a lot of attention during her stay. I will definitely book Lori again.”
“Elezha did an awesome job with my dog! I have never seen him connect with someone so fast. She kept me updated the whole time & gave him plenty of walks. Will definitely book again for future needs!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
