“Sabrina was fantastic! She watched our Sami girl while we we’re out of the country for our destination wedding and even though my messages didn’t always go through she sent updates regularly with photos and you could just tell how comfortable Sami was in her home. I only want to use Sabrina moving forward for any future travel plans!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Lacey and Mark. This was our first ever time to use Rover and the experience could not have been better. Our initial meet and greet with Lacey and her sweet dog Harvey was so wonderful. It was such a calm and relaxing experience for our sweet Brodie girl and Us!! After this visit, we felt very comfortable setting up our first boarding with Lacey and Mark. Brodie loved her stay with Lacey, Mark and Harvey. On our drop off Brodie was a bit nervous, but Lacey put us all at ease. She was so kind and calm which made our drop off experience much easier. We received daily communication and pictures from Lacey. Our Brodie girl looked so calm and happy in all the pictures, she could not have been in better care while we were away. We highly recommend Lacey and Mark.”

“Katie was amazing! This was my first time boarding my rescue, so I was very nervous. My dog is also a naturally very anxious dog, and her family and dog made him feel right at home! She sent updates everyday and it truly made me feel a lot more secure being away from my pup. He immediately came home and curled up to go to sleep, so mission accomplished! I will definitely be messaging Katie again next time I head out of town.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carter
Peluche was well taken care off. They took him for walks and played with him and so much more. Communicated daily about how he was doing included photos and videos. Not only cared for Peluche but her family. Sweet family that interacted with peluche making him feel loved.
This was our first time booking with her, and it happened during an unexpected emergency surgery. She was incredibly communicative, compassionate, and reassuring throughout the entire stay. During such a stressful time, she made me feel completely comfortable knowing Kenji was safe and well cared for. I’m so grateful for her support and would absolutely book with her again!
Sunny cared for my 2 fur babies when my Husband and I had to make an emergency trip out of town. Sunny has been such a blessing! She shared tips on how to clear up Cash's irritated ears and even cleaned them for me. She is so knowledgeable and has helped me in ways that I didn't even know I needed help in. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. I highly recommend her and will be booking her services again very soon!
Our boy is not comfortable around other dogs so we have always felt miserable about boarding him. Enter Paul. He welcomed Calvin into his home with open arms and was more like a foster parent than a pet sitter from the moment we introduced ourselves. Even as we were leaving I could hear him calming our boy with patience and kindness. We received daily updates and photos to let us know Calvin was doing well, and at pick up it was clear that not only was our dog calmer than he had been when coming home from a boarding facility, he was thriving! We are so grateful to Paul for looking after our boy as though Calvin were his own dog. We now know our first choice for trips away from home! Thank you, Paul!
I am grateful to Chanie for taking wonderful care of my 1.5 year old fur baby for 33 days when I was traveling out of country. This is our first time with her and was very worried as it is a long time commitment. She did exceptionally well. Koby had no issues adjusting with her. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Definitely she is going to be my go person for all my future boarding needs.Chanie you are the Best !!!
Emerson was amazing! She listened to all of our requests, was very flexible, sent us pictures, and kept us updated on our dog every day. She was easy to work with, caring, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would gladly use her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carter is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,212 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Carter 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 Carter 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 Carter.
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 Carter 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.
