“Am brand new to the area and needed to go out of town. So glad I found Martie!!! She had a wonderful warm way with my dog. The pictures she sent really put my mind at ease! Definitely recommend Martie!!”
“I’ve boarded my dog, Maya, with Alina and her family twice now, and I have nothing but great things to say about the services we have received! Alina and her kiddos spoil my pup with pets, cuddles, walks, and little grooming sessions. Alina sends lots of pictures, which is so reassuring and- honestly- she takes better pictures of Maya than I do! I recommend her fully to anyone in need of pet boarding. Thank you so much, Alina! I will definitely be booking with you again.”

“This was our very first time using rover and Aron was fantastic. He sent picture updates and was very communicative. Our pup was very happy during her stay. We are great full to have had such a great first experience on Rover with Aron.”
“Andrea did an awesome job taking care of Winnie, my German Shepard mix, while I was away for several days. On arrival, Andrea was careful enough to put the other dogs in the backyard in order for my dog to get comfortable and introduced them individually. During my time away, she was very quick to respond and provided several pictures of Winnie enjoying her stay and interacting with the family. After picking Winnie up, I could immediately tell she has been getting plenty of play and attention from Andrea's kids and the dogs. In the future, Andrea will be my number one choice!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for Reynaldo and the amazing care he gave our dog while we were away. From the start, he was communicative, warm, and genuinely interested in making sure our pup felt comfortable and at home. What really stood out was how regularly he sent us videos—always with a friendly conversation or update that made us smile and gave us peace of mind. Our dog clearly felt happy and safe with him, and it meant the world to us. Reynaldo is a true gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to trust him again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of dogs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. My approach adapts to each dog's unique needs, ensuring they receive the appropriate care for their age and health. For senior dogs, I focus on comfort and health management, providing a tailored diet, and gentle exercise routines to keep them active without causing strain. My goal is always to create a loving and supportive environment where dogs of all ages can thrive. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that my pets' needs are consistently met. Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, and engaging in playtime to keep them active and happy. This routine not only keeps my pets healthy but also strengthens our bond, making it a rewarding and essential part of my life. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each animal while ensuring their environment is safe and comfortable. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space with designated areas for sleeping, eating, and play, while sticking to a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, and regular interaction. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their established routines to minimize any disruption for the pet, ensuring familiarity and comfort. I pay close attention to any special instructions, such as medication schedules, dietary restrictions, or specific behavioral needs, and I always provide updates to the pet owner for peace of mind. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pet and their owner, whether the care takes place in my home or theirs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harlingen
Destiny did an amazing job with our Puppy Fifi. She kept us informed of her daily activities and was very helpful with taking care of our little one. I can honestly say that my husband and I will be taking more trips as we feel very comfortable with having her watch Fifi.
Stephanie was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bailey! She sent us daily photo updates where she took her walking, riding and playing with her lovely dogs which completely put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got back, Bailey was happy, calm, and well-exercised. We would book her again in a heartbeat!"

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Harlingen on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Harlingen. 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.
100% of Harlingen 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 Harlingen 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 Harlingen 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 Harlingen.
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 Harlingen 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.
