“Harper loved staying with Jennifer, they sent pictures, communicated regularly, made sure Harper was comfortable and treated her like their own. Very thankful we have found our "go to" pet sitter in Galveston! Not to mention their location is very central and easy to pickup and drop off! Thank you 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!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats most of my life. I have numerous references. Dogs are loved well taken care of just as if they were home. Frequent walks close to beach if they want to walk there. Cage or no cage. love for animals started little. Enjoy walking them spoiling them!! I work from home.

“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”
“Heidi was excellent. She treated Gizmo like we was in his own home. They went for walks, played and in general she let Gizmo feel safe and secure as if he was home. Thank you Heidi as we were so worried to leave him for that many days.”
“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!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since middle school, and absolutely love taking care of other people’s pets! I recently graduated and live in an apartment, so I don’t have pets of my own right now, so caring for others pets has been a great way to get my fix of hanging out with sweet animals. My childhood dog is a 15 year old greyhound-lab mix, and he lives with my grandma, so I love visiting him :) I also fostered a tabby while I was in college, and loved having a cat to take care of in school! I work full time remotely, so I can hang out at your place all day with your pets while you’re away. Happy to stay overnight or pop in for the day, as well as take them on walks, clean litter, or whatever is needed. I have a full time job, but it’s work from home, so my availability is entirely flexible! I can stay over at your place during the day while I work, and take frequent breaks to play w your pets, take dogs on walks, etc. At your home, I will make sure to follow all steps provided by the client to ensure their pet is getting the best care. Since the client knows best, I will follow their instructions first, but if the pet needs special attention, I will let the client know first to give them a heads up and ensure the pet is taken care of in a safe and timely manner. All pets will receive plenty of cuddles across the board, though :)
“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!”
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!
“Our first time using Rover and leaving our Sadie for a long period of time! Michelle was AMAZING!!! She sent pictures of Sadie all week and updates to calm my nerves while we were away! Sadie had the best time and could tell she was well taken care of and loved while we were away! My heart was at ease while in Michelle’s home/care! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!! You were a blessing!”
“Ariel was amazing! She communicated very well during Rambo’s stay and sent daily updates and pictures. This really helped us keep our mind at ease knowing Rambo was doing great! 💗 She even gave Rambo a bath before pick up time. We will definitely use her services again! ⭐️”
“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”
“Sarah is beyond amazing!!! She took the best care of our dogs we could not imagine anyone better. She was such a sweet person with a kind heart. She was amazing with sending pictures and updates and was always extremely quick to respond and keep in touch. She quickly became like family and loved our dogs just like we do! If you need anyone to watch your pups look no further because she is an complete angel! Thank you so much Sarah for being so amazing to our fur babies!!!”
“Flor was awesome! Very accommodating, well communicated and very patient when it came to my dogs needs. Will definitely book with her again when we’re back in town.”
“Selena’s stay at Hunter’s was great! Selena enjoyed playing with her two dogs and has come home happy and exhausted! This was our first experience having her stay away with someone we didn’t know ahead of time. We would definitely use her again.”
About: Available most days. Currently have a part time job typically with mid day hours. I’m available to do walks, stop in visits, and possibly boarding and doggy day care. Please let me know any special accommodations/requests your little ones need. Right now I work part time. I have availability throughout my work days, and I'm very available in the evenings. I accept cats as well. So just let me know if there’s a specific time you need me, and I will try and work it out. I can bring your pet into my home, I am in a small condo. I do not have any pets of my own. I don’t have a fenced in yard but can take nice walks or drive to the park.
“I can't say enough for how wonderful she was this weekend for my family and our dog Samantha. I could not have asked for a better experience with leaving her some where and the peace of mind she gave us all was outstanding with pictures and videos throughout the whole stay. Elizabeth will always be my go to and first choice going forward.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Galveston is $35

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!!
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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Galveston on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 297 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Galveston. 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 Galveston 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 Galveston 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 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.
