“Karen was fantastic with Coco, very responsive, sent updates and photos, and made me feel completely at ease. So grateful to have someone nearby I can trust. Five stars, will definitely book again!”
“Max is absolutely awesome! My dogs love being with him and he takes excellent care of them. He will even cook for my bougie babies. He sends me pictures every day so I can see how they are doing. I highly recommend Max as a sitter.”
“Excellent service! I plan to use Dave again for future trips for sure. He seems very knowledgeable about dog behavior. My dog has behaviors sometimes around other dogs so I really wanted someone trustworthy who could manage this behavior and Dave was a perfect fit. I also love that he has cameras in the home to watch the dogs if he ever leaves. I know my fur baby was safe while I was away.”
“Juan and his family took such great care of Teddy! They sent me several pictures and videos and he looks like he was having the time of his life. Teddy will definitely stay with them again! I would highly recommend using Juan!”
“Jackie & Jorge did amazing with our sweet Missy. Loved that’s they kept us updated with pictures and a video of our sweet girl! I will definitely book again with them in the future.”
“We booked Stephanie while on a getaway and she was very responsive before and during the sitting. Very flexible and has all things our little one needed outside of food and his meds. Our dog didn’t want to take his meds with the snacks provided and Stephanie improvised to get him to take them and kept us up to date. Any questions she had - she asked in person or in the app. If we’re in the San Antonio area we’d definitely book with them again!”
“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!”
“Olivia is an absolute angel. She's a Cavalier mom who knew the needs of my cavalier. My dog Lady Jane was welcome as family. The photo updates were so welcoming. I cannot sing enough praises about Olivia. She's my official dog sitter now when I have business trips!”
“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 just got a new puppy and was so nervous to leave her for 5 days while I was away on a last minute work trip. Priscilla was fantastic!! I got daily photos without asking and Pearl was happy and excited to be there. Will definitely be rebooking! Thank you so much!”
“Succcch a lifesaver!! Breanna was such a kind person, sent so many pics and took care of my lil pup so well. I felt so at peace knowing she was in good hands and had plenty of friends to keep her company!!! Thank u so much!”
“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.”
“Yvonne was great! She was quick to communicate back to us and she was very flexible on pick up and drop off. She sent plenty of pictures and our dog seemed to really enjoy all of the walks she took her on. Will definitely use again.”
“Yoana was friendly, accommodating, and flexible. When I had an appointment that altered the course of my day, she made me feel at ease that my pets were taken care, even over my regular time. She took my pet bird too and kept me updated on how they were doing throughout the day with photos. I’m very grateful to her and this app! Thank you!”
“Cathy did a wonderful job with Monty. Her dog Bentley was lovely and they got on well. Monty hates thunderstorms and barks incessantly when they are happening, and as luck would have a severe storm passed through while she was boarding him. She was able to give him his medicine and keep him calm, and to text me on how he was doing. Would recommend highly.”
“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!”
“Abel and Alisa are great. They kept me up to date on my pup’s well being with daily texts on activities, followed up with plenty of pics and short videos. My little one looked super happy which gave us a peace of mind on our vacation. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I will definitely use them again”
“Amazing sitter—would definitely book again! She took our dogs last minute and was very accommodating with a late drop-off. She kept us updated with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Even though she had recently stopped taking large dogs and her profile hadn’t updated yet, she still made an exception for us, and we’re very thankful. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer & David are awesome! Teddy & Buster have stayed with them numerous times this past year as we travel a lot. Teddy & Buster are well taken care of and well loved by Jennifer & David and also Teddy & Buster have so much fun playing with the other dogs that are also staying with them. We have used their services for an overnight up to 10+ nights and I never once worried about them. I know that they are in very capable and loving hands when they stay with David & Jennifer. I really appreciate all their help this past year!”

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.
Jesse is SO flexible! I need that for my life, haha. He makes it very easy for me not to stress about finding care for Toby whenever the need comes up. Jesse usually takes care of multiple dogs and my dog LOVES being around and playing with "the pack". So thankful for Jesse!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Balcones Heights on Rover is $38.85 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 1,425 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.
