“EXCELLENT, MY FAMILY USED DANIELLE'S SERVICE FOR OUT LITTLE ROCKY AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY PET CARE AND DEFINITELY WE WILL USE HER SERVICE AGAIN.”
About: Hi there! We’re a dog-loving duo with years of experience and three sweet, well-behaved rescue pups of our own. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. We’ve spent our lives around animals—caring for our own, helping friends and family, and volunteering with the Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program (and multiple years at SPCA Florida). We offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home daycare for friendly pups who get along well with ours. We’re confident in caring for a variety of pets and always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. We also provide drop-in visits for cats and currently care for a household of three felines. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their usual schedule, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s what they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ We work remotely with flexible schedules, so we're home throughout the day and available most weekends. We can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings. We also offer daycare for dogs who get along well with ours. *Sunday availability begins at 2pm. **We are currently at capacity for ongoing, multi-day weekly care (ex. 2+ days a week, every week, indefinitely). We are still open to once a week ongoing care at this time. We prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether visiting them at home or welcoming them into ours. We follow routines closely and provide gentle, attentive care. For daycare, we ensure dogs are well-matched with our three friendly dogs and are supervised. Clean spaces, fresh water, and secure environments are a must. We treat every pet like our own—earning their trust through patience, play, and consistency.
“Karen was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we left, she kept us completely at ease with frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and the sweetest photos of our fur baby. You can tell she genuinely cares—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and our pet was happy, comfortable, and so well loved the entire time. Coming home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pet says everything. Karen is reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive. We’re so grateful to have found her and will 100% be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Wish I could give these ladies 100 stars! In a nut shell, Megan and Lois are a blessing! It s so nice to get away and know your baby is happy too! Thank you both so much ! So much better than a noisy kennel.”
“Audrey was great! She kept us updated throughout our Poodle's stay at her house. Audrey made sure we felt comfortable and reassured. She sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. Audrey's home is clean and pet-friendly, and it's clear she loves animals. We will be booking with Audrey again in the future. We recommend her services!”
About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.
“Ashley exceeded my expectations! She was so great with my Golden Retriever. She took care of my dog for 10 days. Ashley was communicating with me constantly, she sent me videos, pictures and messages daily letting me know how my dog was doing. I felt very safe leaving my 3 month old dog with her. When I picked my dog up, she did not want to leave??”
“Emily was great at communication, drop off/pick up time was agreed upon, photos and videos were sent to me while she had our dog. I plan on reaching out to Emily on our next trip to keep our pooch again!”
“Jody took very good care of our Jazzi while we were away. She is very caring and friendly! She sent me updates on Jazzi everyday as well as pictures. I will contact her again if we need someone to keep Jazzi!”
About: I’m 22 and I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life—puppies, old timers, and everything in between. Animals aren’t just pets to me, they’re family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, baths, cuddles, feeding, or just hanging out, I’ll do anything when it comes to your four-legged kids. I’ve cared for people’s pets before, and it’s something I enjoy. I’m reliable, always on time, and go above and beyond what’s expected. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and takes care of them like they’re his own, I’m your guy! I currently work a salaried position from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays. **Weekday Availability:** Evenings after 5:00 PM are wide open for pet sitting, cuddles, and any necessary care—whether it's feeding, walking, or simply keeping your pet company. **Weekend Availability:** The weekends are the real treat! I'm available all day Saturday and Sunday for anything from quick visits to overnight stays. If your pet needs a cozy sleepover, Friday and Saturday nights are ideal. When caring for pets, whether at my home or my client's, their comfort and safety always come first. Your pet's well-being is my top priority. At my home, I offer a wide-open, fenced backyard where animals can explore safely. Inside, I maintain a secure, pet-friendly space with no hazards. If requested by owners, I can accommodate crate-training, though you'll need to provide the crate. I have three playful, friendly male cats (under a year old) who love interacting with other animals. I respect every pet's unique personality, ensuring positive and stress-free interactions. Clear communication with owners about their pet's preferences is key—so you can feel confident your pet is in trustworthy hands. My home is stocked with essentials: fresh food, clean water, and plenty of toys to keep pets active and engaged. There's also climbing furniture for those curious explorers. The setup ensures your pet has fun, stays comfortable, and feels at home. Every service is tailored to the unique needs of the pet and the owner. Whether it's an afternoon of supervised play or overnight care, I go above and beyond to create a safe, trusting, and happy environment for every animal. Let me know how I can make your pet's experience even more amazing!
“This was our first time using this boarding facility. We were very happy with the setup overall. It was very clean and the owners were very responsive to any questions we had. They were prompt to respond to our initial request and also sent us some pictures of our dog enjoying his stay. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future.”
“Abigail was loving and attentive to my Hercules. She sent pictures and updates at least once each day. She is very easy to talk to and made sure Hercules ate on time and received plenty of exercise. I appreciate Abigail's flexibility and responsiveness. I will definitely be hiring her again and I know Hercules is looking forward to his next stay!”
“Taylor took great care of our 7 year old Aussie. He got comfort and exercise. Taylor is a true dog lover. Unfortunately she is an hour away from us BUT worth it and close to the Indiana lake that we visit.”
“Kylie was great. She was responsive to messages and friendly. My dog lives her. I am not certain she was ready to come home. Kylie sent pictures and even a video while my dog was in her care. Thanks, Kylie!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Galveston on Rover is $33.3 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 103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Galveston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Galveston 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 Galveston.
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 Galveston 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 IN 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.
