“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!”
“I would give Heather 10 stars if it were possible! We’ve boarded our dog on several occasions and it’s always been a tough experience because she doesn’t eat very well and has seemed depressed while we’re gone. Our experience with Heather was the complete opposite; our dog was content and happy the entire time, something we didn’t think was possible while boarding 😅. Heather was very communicative and sent photos and videos of our dog every day while we were away. Her facility is also very clean and well kept, and feels warm and inviting as opposed to the large dog crates we’re accustomed to with other boarders. Heather obviously loves dogs and we were so grateful that she took such good care of our dog while we were gone for 10 days. I can’t recommend her and her services highly enough, this was hand down the BEST boarding experience we and our dog have ever had.”
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!
“This was our first time leaving our little dog with someone we didn’t know. Robin was fantastic, we went on a cruise and she sent an update within a couple our on how our little girl was doing along with pictures. And updated us again before we got back really put us at ease. Will definitely use her again, highly recommend.”
“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!”

“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!!!”

“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”
“We used Kelly to watch our little Cassie for 5 nights. Each day Kelly sent pictures and videos. She helped us feel at ease being away from her and we knew Cassie was safe and having a blast! The icing on top was the beautiful gift Kelly put together for Cassie when she left. Thanks Kelly for such wonderful service. We will definitely be using you again soon!”
“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.”

Aislyn & Carson were great host for my standard poodle. They were accommodating with a last-minute boarding request and made leaving comfortable and smooth. Aislyn had great communication with us and sent pictures throughout our time gone. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring sitter!
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!!
Clara did an amazing job taking care of our elderly dog while we were gone for 10 days. She sent us pictures regularly and updates of what he was up to. I know it wasn’t an easy task because he needs a lot of attention. Clara also is very nice and respectful and we appreciate her for taking care of our little Tyson.

As of July 2026, there are 293 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.
