“Vivi, Trey & Miso are the best dog sitters I could ask for! They pickup up and dropped off Milo for a small fee. They were punctual and respond very quickly to messages. They sent lots of pics and videos. He was around other dogs which helps him socialize. My senior dog had a mild case of pancreatitis, and they assisted me with administering special food & meds, etc. to help him recover. I also think their pricing is very good value. 3 nights for $157 plus $35 round trip. Look forward to using them again!”

“This was our second time leaving Roscoe with Diana and it went well. Roscoe was very comfortable being dropped off with Diana and he even was ready to jump in her arms from mine when we arrived. Unless she isn’t available on future dates she will definitely be my go to. Thank you for what you do.”

Hatchie had a great time and even made some new friends! We appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of Hatchie—we would definitely recommend Teresa and look forward to using her services again! 🐾💕”

“Suraj was so great with our fur babies Ben & Jerry. He walked them everyday. Took such great care of them like they were their own. If they did not want to eat, they would give them different foods to try to make sure that they are not hungry. I will be using him again in the near future. He would send me texts and emails with pictures of the dogs. We had a meet and greet before we decided to leave our fur babies with him. They got along so well with their own dog Nanu. The first time the boys met them, they were so comfortable with Suraj and his family, that they laid down in their home to get belly rubs from them. I am going to refer him to all my friends and family. He also took great care of Jerry’s leg. Jerry has a little spot that was irritated and treated the wound very well.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies who need patience, consistency, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication management, and gentle care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is receiving personalized attention, plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. Your dog's happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, playtime in the yard, potty breaks, or evening strolls, I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent care and companionship. I have individual climate-controlled kennels in a secure, fenced yard, providing a comfortable and safe environment for every dog. Each dog receives personalized care based on their temperament and needs, with options for both individual playtime and supervised group socialization.

“I couldn’t recommend Kylie enough. She communicated very well throughout the week she cared for my dog, sent pictures frequently of him and let me know how he was doing. For using Rover for the first time, she was without a doubt, a wonderful example of what caring for your pet is all about and I’m more than happy with the service she provided. No hesitation, will use her again if I need future care for my dog.”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring more than just pet sitting—I bring genuine love, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, comfortable, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I specialize in dog training and behavior and have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with trained service dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, personalities, and comfort levels. Your peace of mind matters too. I provide regular photo updates, check-in calls, and FaceTime when requested, so you can see your dog, stay connected, and feel confident they’re being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat your dog like family and give you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands. As a retired Army veteran who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My routine includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, training, and plenty of companionship. I also make time to monitor each dog’s behavior and comfort level, especially with puppies, seniors, and dogs with specific routines or needs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, home-like environment with frequent supervision and individualized care. I treat every dog in my home like family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, dog-friendly home environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, exercise, training, and special care instructions. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific behavioral or training needs. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel connected while they’re away. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to offer check-in calls or FaceTime so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to create a safe, respectful, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

Judy’s attention to detail (i.e.dog routines, commands, fitness needs, etc.) and home accommodations were first class. I would highly recommend Judy for your dog service needs. Thank you Judy!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Avalon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 649 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Avalon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

97% of sitters in Avalon 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 Avalon 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 Avalon.

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 Avalon. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 Avalon 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.

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.
