“Laura and her family were very friendly and hospitable. My dog was very comfortable going with her and/or kids when they’d retrieve him from the car. Laura also helped nurse a bad wound my dog got at a previous sitters house. Highly recommend!!!”


“Could not be more pleased with the care our li’l Bud got. Buddy was treated like family and we could see he was having a great time with all the updates and pictures we received. Giovanna is a great communicator and truly loves taking care of our furry loved ones. I can’t possibly imagine anyone better or more loving than Bud’s new favorite Auntie Gio for taking care of our pup.”


“I can’t recommend Esteban and Alana enough! We traveled out of the country for a week, and I was absolutely at ease knowing my pup was in such capable and loving hands. They kept me updated with adorable photos and messages, and it was clear my pup was happy and well taken care of. Truly, they went above and beyond. Five stars all the way!”


About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever and a 10-year-old Maltipoo, so I’m very comfortable with both energetic young dogs and older pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, with additional availability on weekends. I’ll always work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. When I’m caring for your pets, I’ll keep them safe and comfortable in their own home while following their normal routines. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else they need. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like they’re part of my own family!
“Where do I start, Sarah is the best sitter I’ve been acquainted with. She gave us daily updates, she sent pictures videos and even gave us a framed picture of our dog!! She was very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of! She is the real she really cares about every animal she comes in contact with. She is the ULTIMATE sitter I have recommended her to every colleague that I have! You won’t regret taking your pets to Sarah!”


“Janiya did a wonderful job when it came to keeping me updated on my fur baby , taking pictures and taking care of him !! I really appreciate her a lot for accepting my booking last minute and for all she had done to make things easier for my last minute vacation. Thank you 💕”

“We had a very last minute need for Jannine, and she responded immediately and was able to accommodate! Not sure what we would do without Jannine; she is the best and our Marty boy always looks so relaxed and comfortable in the photo updates we get. Thanks Jannine!”

“First time using rover and Susan made it wonderful and easy to drop off the dogs! I have 2 dogs me and my wife were worried especially about the younger pup..she has too much energy!! Susan and family..big shout out to Lewie, he wore my younger puppy out! Susan sent updates while we were on vacation, me and my wife loved the updates and were laughing and happy that our 2 dogs were having fun! We were on vacation and we felt our dogs were also on vacation as well!! We would love to book Susan again and soon!! Highly recommend!!”

“James and Victoriya were great with Harlem. Victoriya made sure to update me everyday and James even gave Harlem a bath before returning home. Harlem enjoyed his stay and was his normal, playful self when returning home. I will use them again when needed! Thank you both. Great sitters!”

“Shanieka is so amazing!! And my little guy absolutely loves her! We requested boarding services through Shanieka and she was so flexible and accommodating. Not to mention, my Clue was so happy and excitable during his stay. The videos and photos I received throughout his stay were so comforting, and additional product and toy recommendations made by Shanieka were very helpful! I definitely recommend and plan to reach out to Shanieka to request boarding services in the near future.”

“Caitlin’s home was a wonderful place for our dog, Hazel, to stay while we were away! She has an amazing backyard and the home feels very safe and loving for dogs. Caitlin was accommodating of our schedule for dropoff and pickups and sent periodic updates and pictures of our senior pup that put our minds at ease. We feel lucky to have found such a great dogsitter in the area!”

“Juan and his family were great with Bonnie. It gave me great comfort to know that Bonnie was with people that would love on him and nurture him. Thank you Juan for taking care of my fur child, I’ll definitely be there sing you all again.”

Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW! I’m so glad I found Max on Rover! I genuinely feel like I found a GEM. There are so many sitters on Rover, and finding someone I truly feel comfortable leaving my dog with for an extended period of time is not easy, especially because I travel out of the country quite often. This felt less like boarding and more like a luxury doggy spa vacation! Max has an incredibly spacious home, and the backyard is HUGE, with beautiful, well kept green grass and plenty of mature trees that provide shade for outdoor time. Zara had so much space to run around, explore, and enjoy herself. It never felt like the typical boarding experience where dogs are confined for most of the day. What impressed me even more than the space was how much Max genuinely cares about animals and how knowledgeable he is about dogs. He understands the importance of respecting their personal space and boundaries, reading their body language, and recognizing what they’re communicating. He also gave me helpful information about Zara’s anxiety and how to maintain a calm environment to help reduce her stress. I really appreciated that because it showed me that his care goes beyond simply feeding a dog and letting them outside. He actually understands dogs and pays attention to their individual needs. I was also amazed at how quickly Zara warmed up to him. She typically has anxiety and barks at people she doesn’t know, so seeing how comfortable and happy she became with Max gave me so much confidence in him. He maintained Zara’s normal routine, gave her plenty of room to run around, and even let her sleep on his bed! She looked so happy and calm that it honestly felt like she was on vacation. And his communication is PHENOMENAL! He kept me updated every single day and sent pictures and videos from morning through evening. That gave me so much peace of mind because I could actually see how Zara was doing throughout the day instead of constantly wondering if she was okay. I’m so glad I found Max on Rover. I finally feel like I’ve found a sitter I can genuinely trust and feel comfortable leaving Zara with for a longer period of time when I travel. I will absolutely be booking with him again and recommending him to my friends and family. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about animals, understands dog behavior, respects their boundaries, communicates exceptionally well, and provides a loving home environment, I highly recommend Max. Zara definitely found herself a new favorite sitter! ❤️🐾”

“Timothy is always amazing and caring with Dobby. Dobby loves him so much! He will be our go to whenever a need arises for a sitter, as long as he has the availability of course! :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cove is $65 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $72 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 October 2026, there are 1,095 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cove. 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.
96% of sitters in Cove 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 Cove 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 Cove.
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 Cove 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.
