“Definitely recommend Whitney! She took good care of my dog, Romo, and even went beyond by spoiling him. Making him feel like he's at home. Romo definitely enjoyed his stay there.”

“First time using Rover. Chanel made it so non stressful and comfortable for me and my dog Arizona's. Arizona took to her very well. Updates and pics were sent to me throughout her stay which had me at ease. 10/10 recommend Chanel.”
“Excellent experience. Thus far the best experience using Rover. I felt comfortable leaving my doggy with her immediately. I received daily updates, and communication.”
“Samuel cared for my Zoey as if she was his own family member. It was a last minute booking and I’m so glad I chose Samuel to watch her.He took the time to calm her down and went the extra mile tomake her feel at ease in his home. I will definitely ask Sam to watch her again! Thank you!”
“The sweetest and most caring person you could find to care for your fur baby! Jenna watched my dog multiple times over the span of the last 2 years and has been absolutely wonderful. My dog literally jumps for joy when she sees Jenna!”
“Roshonda was absolutely amazing with my baby Nova! 🥹💖 From start to finish, she treated Nova like part of her family. She sent constant updates with photos and videos every day from long walks and morning runs to cuddles, naps and belly rubs galore!😆 Seeing Nova so happy, playful and relaxed while I was away gave me complete peace of mind. Nova was even in heat during her stay (which can make her extra sensitive and moody) and Roshonda handled it with so much patience, love, and care! Cleaning her, changing her diapers, keeping her comfortable and making sure she felt safe. She also made sure Nova got plenty of exercise and attention, whether it was walks, time outside, or playtime with her daughter and her friends. Nova clearly loved being part of their little crew 😂. I could tell how much Roshonda genuinely cared, she communicated so well, made sure I always knew how Nova was doing and went above and beyond in every way. Nova is happy, calm and clearly loved. I can’t thank her enough! I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and amazing with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 💕🐶✨”
“Ashli was absolutely amazing. Our kitties absolutely love them. They are such kind people. We received continuous updates with photos and even videos. We will absolutely use them again.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Ashley & Kristene M took amazing care of my dogs while I was away. They went above and beyond to make sure they were loved, safe, and comfortable. I got regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. My dogs came back happy and relaxed, which says everything about the care they received. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their pets.””
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and understand that pets are part of the family. As a mom, I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and used to creating a safe, structured, and loving environment. I’ve always had a dog growing up, and was responsible for that dog. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from playful and energetic to shy and laid-back. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of affection and attention. Although I’m active duty and have kids, I make time to take care of your furmily member. I come home on lunch. Walks after PT. I have a camera in the house, your doggo is free to roam while I’m gone. I have a fenced yard, 1 dog, and 4 kids(12,10,3,6). They all know how to play with dogs and understand the cues of a dog. They also enjoy helping.
“I don’t believe I have ever once left a written review on any website in my entire life but I’d say it’s worth it this time around. Nikole did an incredible job with my dog and was one of the kindest persons that I’ve ever met. I wouldn’t hesitate using her again to dog sit.”
“Took great care of Max for an extended period of time, 2.5 weeks. Received frequent updates throughout his stay and he looked happy and playful in each photo. Highly recommend!”
“Such a nice family and they were so great with our dog! They also made sure to keep us updated with pictures and very fast to respond when messaged. Highly recommend!”
“Angel took very good care of Moose. She provided excellent communication and was able to accommodate a last minute change that was very much appreciated. I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Moose.”
“Sarah was amazing. She sent updates and pictures every day without asking. She was very understanding and so nice and i could tell that my boy was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life growing up on a farm in NC! I’ve been a dog groomer in the past it was the best experience ever! Book with me if you want your furry baby’s to be treated with the care they deserve! I’m currently working part time but I have LOTS of free time I’m always outside with my dog so let me get your dogs exercise in! I live in a 2 bed apartment very big and cozy my dog is either sun bathing on the back porch playing around the house or we even have a dog park also! We also take walks to the dog park 3 minutes from my house
About: I’ve grown up caring for all sorts of pets, I don’t remember a time in my life when there wasn’t a cat or a dog. I love meeting and caring for all animals and I foster when I can. I would love to care for your fur baby. I currently have an open schedule, my every day is mostly caring and spending time with my pets. I’m very much so a homebody. I only go out about twice a month for a night. I have a fenced in yard for potty time and the whole home is offered for space to explore, get comfortable and play. I also have 2 dogs that love to play and cuddle so you for baby will never be bored or cold. I almost constantly have eyes on my pets and will always be making sure your pet is comfy and cared for. I do have a cat, so other cats that I watch will have their own litter box and their own eating area for optimal comfort.
“Brooke was so so kind, loving, sweet and flexible with not only me but my sweet pup. He loved staying with her. She sent me picture updates and text throughout everyday he stayed with her. He loved her big backyard where he could run and play. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be using her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gatesville is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $35 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 288 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gatesville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Gatesville 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 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.
