“Took excellent care of our dog, Floyd. Our dog rarely eats whenever he is boarded, but he ate heartily with Jennifer. Also Jennifer kept me updated on his status. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Our dog had an amazing time boarding with this family. We had a lot of updated pictures, she loved playing with Winnie, and we could tell that she was super comfortable with Aislyn and Carson as she was always cuddling with them. We really appreciated them allowing her on furniture including bed. It was like she never left home. 😊 Thank you!”
“Haylie was great with our three little, energetic dogs. She was punctual and a great communicator. Haylie kept them busy, and sent photos. She checked in with questions and updates, and also kept them happy. They were smiling and enjoying their time, as you could see in the photos. I felt confident leaving the dogs with Haylie, and would certainly use her services again. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for caring for Mabel while I had to travel out of town. I’m so happy she was with someone that loved and cared for her. She is not used to being alone and Sherry was the perfect fit since she is a stay at home mom. I would definitely recommend Sherry and would use her again if I needed a sitter”
“Amazing experience. I did not have any worries while I was away. I also think my dog’s experience here was way better and healthier than the big boarding facilities. Bella came home happy and tired from playing with all her new friends.”
“Heidi has been AMAZING with our little guy. Our puppy usually gets sick with stress when we leave, but leaving him with her has been a dream. Not only was he not stressed, he had the time of his life and she was patient and kind with his crazy puppy energy. She helped reinforce the behaviors we are trying to emphasize and took him on lots of walks to help manage his energy. She was gentle and kind even when he was a handful. Would definitely recommend her again and again and will be returning for future dog sitting needs!”
“Robin was kind and gentle with our boy Yoda. He loved it there, I could tell by that big smile on his face. Being available during Christmas was a big deal! Thank you Robin for caring for our little man, even letting him snuggle!!”
“Meghan will be my go-to for all future dog sitting. She took care of my pups as if they were her own. She’s extremely conscientious and caring, as well as professional. My pups loved her and that is part of my litmus test. You cannot go wrong with Meghan in charge!!”
“Skylar was great!! She was super accommodating, communicative, and sent daily updates of how my pup was doing. Everything went smoothly and I would recommend her to others!”
“We left our boys with Michelle for an 18 day stay. I was initially concerned that my dogs would not behave for her but they settled into comfort with her quickly. Michelle treated our dogs like her own and we will definitely be using her for sittings again.”
About: As a family very familiar with farms I've been around a multitude of animals from large livestock, goats to rabbits, cats and dogs from a very young age. I absolutely adore going above and beyond for your pet! Every animal I interact with is going to get the same premium treatment my pets do. I worked in a vet office as a veterinary technical assistant during my senior year as well. I am currently a student going to Texas A&M Galveston for my Bachelor's and Masters degrees, I plan to go fly planes into hurricanes for data collection! I have classes late into the day Tuesday and Wednesdays but besides that I am very available for early mornings before 10 and afternoons after 130! weekends are on a case by case basis. I live in a dorm but am more than happy to take your fur baby to the park or stay in your home and the safe environment they know!
“I recommend Ariel for your boarding care. I am not kidding! She is amazing and a caring person. She is a true a dog lover. my dogs felt at home at her place and they also had a huge backyard for them to enjoy.”
“Chantelle & Ashley were amazing! I had never left my girl (she’s almost 2). Chantelle & Ashley were great communicators. Prior to drop off, at drop off, during my baby’s vacation, and at pick up! Pebbles was bathed and even had a little Halloween scarf on. I would use them again in a heartbeat! For anyone thinking of using their services, you won’t be disappointed. They give loving care in their home And treat furr babies like family. Off give 10 stars if I could!”
“Hunter was great, very accommodating! My dog Penelope had lots of fun playing with their dogs and swimming in the pool! I will be booking with her again next time I’m out of town.”
“Miguel was very friendly and took care of my doggy like if he were his own. Located was very convenient, just a couple blocks from the beach. I will definitely consider him next time I am in town”
“Elizabeth was amazing. Super accommodating and great communication. She will be the only person I use for all services until I leave the area. Highly recommend her. Constant videos and pictures of the pups. Very trustworthy.”

Heidi was absolutely wonderful with my Lulu! She invited me in and showed me where Lulu would be staying, which made me feel really comfortable leaving her there. Heidi was so sweet and caring, and I could tell right away that she genuinely loves dogs. Lulu was happy and well taken care of, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely use Heidi again and highly recommend her! She really helped me when she accepted my request at a short notice.
Thank you so much for caring for Mabel while I had to travel out of town. I’m so happy she was with someone that loved and cared for her. She is not used to being alone and Sherry was the perfect fit since she is a stay at home mom. I would definitely recommend Sherry and would use her again if I needed a sitter
Aislyn has taken wonderful care of our golden retriever twice now. She has a pet friendly home and it’s obvious she treats our baby like her own! Her dog and cat are super friendly and get along great with ours. We really appreciate the frequent check ins with pictures and video updates. Highly recommend Aislyn & Carson!!

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.
92% of sitters in Galveston 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
