“This is Watusi’s second time staying with Karen and from all of our pup-dates it seemed like she had such a wonderful staycation! She had daily walks and playtime as well as some rest and relaxation. We love how responsive and organized Karen is. We loved getting our daily updates about what they were up to. It is never easy leaving your fur baby behind when you travel but Karen puts us at ease. We will definitely be booking again when it is time for our next adventure. Watusi is looking forward to it! Thanks Karen!”
“Oh how my Shelby loved Anna, she made herself right at home. Anna was wonderful with my girl. She is communicative and flexible and everything you could want in a caregiver for your pet. I will definitely book with her again!”
“First time using Rover, we booked with Genesis. She was very accommodating with our Lab, Murphy who is insulin dependent. She sent pictures and kept us updated. Murphy is one happy customer!”
“Fernando is an amazing dog sitter! He is very professional, reliable, and always goes above and beyond. He keeps me updated with regular communication and sends the cutest pictures of my pups while I'm away. I always feel at ease knowing my dogs are in great hands. Highly recommend Fernando to anyone looking for top-notch pet care! I’m positive Tommy and Lucky will be looking forward to see him again!”
“My ultra-senior, Zuma, stayed with Lorena for a second time. Lorena is super responsive, compassionate, caring, and understanding of Zuma's special needs. It was another fantastic experience, and we will definitely request care-sitting services from her again for our future needs. You are amazing, Lorena!”
“I am very happy with the way Kylie was cared for by Brianna. It is such a relief to know that I have a great puppy sitter for Kylie whenever I have to travel. Huge relief!! Thank you Brianna!”
“Abel and Alisa are fantastic! They accepted my booking with two days notice and made the entire process seamless. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated the daily photo updates. They even went the extra mile and gave my dog, Kailua, a bath before pickup. Kailua clearly had a great time, he didn't even want to leave when I arrived! I highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again.”
“Grey and his partner were wonderful. My dog was well cared for and loved, and I already booked her next visit with them. My dog doesn't need special accommodations, but they were prepared for extra time, yard time (she loved that), sleep on furniture, etc. They also communicated well for meet/greet, drop off, pick up, and the times they were in the house - with pictures. My pup is heading back for my next out of town trip, because she liked staying there.”
“Thank you so much to Olivia and her husband. They took great care of our corgi. He came back healthy and happy. I enjoyed all the pictures she sent while we were away.”
“They were great with my fur babies and very patient with them. My dogs have separation anxiety and like to be near people all the time. They handled them with care, patience and understanding. Very nice couple, overall really good people.”
“Alana is so kind and did a great job caring for our pup over the Christmas week. He came home happy, smelling great, with the cutest bandana and a little Christmas gift. Totally spoiled him! He came home tired from playing with her pups, too. Definitely recommend Alana!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balcones Heights
Yvonne has watched our dog for two overnight stays with one being for over two weeks. She is very proactive with communication and responds quickly. I loved the photos and updates she sent while we are away - providing us comfort that our dog was well cared for. We trust Yvonne and recommend her.
It looked as though Thor settled right in and made himself at home! I’m so thankful he was the only one there as he does not like to share space with other animals. After the excitement of returning home he relaxed and was acting normal again very quickly which we are so thankful for. Thanks for all the update pictures to ease our minds!
Marti was fantastic with Mac and Mo, two tightly bonded Scottish Terriers. I could not have been more pleased. Her updates were wonderful. The pictures showed them adjusting well to a new environment and another dog. I vary much appreciated her kindness with my little friends.
Alana was fantastic with our dog, Jane! We really appreciated that she personalized Jane’s stay since she can be a little nervous in new situations. Also, the many picture updates (including a cute photo shoot) put us as ease to know Jane was having a great time. Jane can’t wait to go back!
Great match! Jimmy had a wonderful time. He came home happy, confident, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’d absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable sitter! 🐾
Ana took great care of my sweet Buddy! It was his first time to have anyone watch him. Ana texted photos and updates from time to time. She allowed me to bring his kennel, blanket, bed, and toys! I think he was as comfortable as he could be while being in a new place without his family! Thank you Ana! I'll book you again when I take my next trip!
Jessyca was absolutely amazing with our dog, Ellie! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew Ellie was in loving and capable hands. Jessyca treated Ellie like she was part of her own family, giving her so much love, attention, and excellent care. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile every day. It was clear that Ellie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Jessyca went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for everything she did. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional to care for their pet.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Balcones Heights on Rover is $38.85 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 1,431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Balcones Heights. 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.
92% of Balcones Heights 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 Balcones Heights 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 Balcones Heights 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 Balcones Heights.
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 Balcones Heights 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.
