“We couldn’t be happier choosing her to care for our pets! She was very communicative, sending photos of the pups throughout our trip, and she returned our bulldog looking better than when we left him somehow! She truly cares about the animals she cares for and it shows. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Dorothy is the best! Our dog stayed for a full week with her, and she sent multiple updates a day with plenty of photos. I have no doubt she takes great care of our dog every time!”
“Whitney always takes first class care of our boys! She’s been so kind to us and is truly a wonderful person with an amazing family. Dizzy and Wilson look forward to their visits every time and that makes our lives much easier when we have to be away from them.”
“Ashley accepted my last-minute booking, and I appreciate her availability during a busy time of the year. I could relax and enjoy my son's wedding this weekend. The dogs were happy when we picked them up, and I received a few pictures of their stay. Thanks again for the excellent service and for giving me peace of mind that they will be okay. Sincerely, Annette”
“Krysta was absolutely wonderful! We did a meet and greet beforehand and our pup immediately took to her. She was very communicative and flexible and kept us up to date with photos and videos. Our pup can be a Velcro dog but it didn’t bother her and it was very obvious our pup had a great time with her. We will not hesitate to reach out to Krysta again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Highly recommend!! Just picked my fur babies up and they’ve been well cared for. Plenty of pics and updates. My boy Brody is an attention hound (can be a little annoying), but he was taken care of! I’m so thankful for Rowan and her lovely family.❤️”
“Heather was so amazing. She was patient with whiskey, sent pictures everyday, worked with my dog when he broke out of his crate and let me know when his food is low! The dogs have so much room to play and run around. 10/10 recommend her!”
“Arshawna took great care of my dog. She was very professional through the whole process and sent daily pictures of our pet. Our Rosie got a little cut on her paw and Arshawna promptly sent us pictures, cleaned and wrapped her paw everyday. Arshawna was very flexible and was able to accept our request of keeping Rosie for an extra day so my family and I could enjoy our trip a little longer. I recommend her services and will be using it again when needed.”
“Jessamy was awesome with our Loki. It can be difficult for Loki to open up to new people and surroundings but Loki felt comfortable almost immediately as I can tell from all the videos and photos of Loki provided to us by Jessamy. It was easy communicating with Jessamy before and during Loki’s stay and I was always at ease. Loki loved playing around with Artie and it just felt like the perfection match. It looked like there was plenty of activity for Loki which I look for with sitters since Loki can have a lot of energy. We will be utilizing Jessamy’s services again in the future and I would highly recommend her for anyone’s pup.”
“Absolutely thrilled with our experience! Angel was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. She took the time to get to know our furry friends and their unique personalities, providing personalized care that put us at ease. Daily updates and adorable photos kept us connected while we were away. Our pets were happy, healthy, and well-loved upon our return! We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver! 🐾❤️”
“Roshonda was absolutely amazing with my dog. She took exceptional care of him and truly went above and beyond. She surprised him with the sweetest gift bag full of snacks, took beautiful photos that I will cherish forever, and treated him with so much love and attention. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. He was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. Roshonda is thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely loves dogs. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog sitter.”
“Excellent communication!! Quick and thorough responses. I got lots of photos and an update each day. My dog was happy and playing when I picked her up. I would definitely book with Angie again!”
“She was great and worked with me through last minute plan changes and the extension of my animals stay. She even made a trip to the store the get more food when they ran out. She sent pictures of my cats cuddling with her, from which I gathered she was really kind to them and they liked her. I cannot recommend her enough, she was truly the best.”
“Desiree was amazing! She took such great care of our girl Mia over the weekend and kept us updated with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear Mia was happy and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Desiree, she is now our go to sitter!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gatesville on Rover is $29.96 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 .

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.
95% of Gatesville 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 Gatesville 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 Gatesville 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 Gatesville.
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 Gatesville 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.
