“Kelly will be my go-to place to board the pups from now on! The pups had a wonderful time there, and Kelly was so attentive to them. Loved the constant updates she gave as well. Absolutely 5 stars! Thanks, Kelly!”
“Wonderful pet sitters. Always provides daily updates. I feel safe when my pets are with them. One of them unfortunately got sick and they notified me immediately and provided updates.”
“Ms Samantha is our go to for our furbaby. Her and her family are amazing! They love on our fur baby while we go on little trips throughout the year. Our girl loves going and from all the photos and updates is happy while we go on trips. I feel comfortable knowing our girl is receiving the same love and care she receives she does at home. Highly recommend.”
“Felicia was an incredible sitter! Our pups were showered with love and care from her and her family. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates, such a thoughtful touch. Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Dave took excellent care of my anxious shih tzu! This was my first time using Rover and boarding my dog with someone outside of family, but Dave took great care of my dog and sent photo updates.”
“Fernando agreed to watch our dog on short notice and came highly recommended from the dog sitter we usually use. He was communicative and sent great photos. I would use him again.”
“Imagine having the comfort of leaving your pet to stay with a family member, only difference being that Martin is more attuned to my dog’s nature and needs than any family member I have ever asked to look after my Pitt/Staffy mix, Glow. The entire experience of having my precious baby stay with Martin for a period of 8 days could not have been more comfortable. From the first meet and greet, I could tell that Martin has genuinely cares for pets, and understands a lot about managing dogs of all breeds, sizes and energy level levels. During the stay, Martin consistently communicated with video clips and regular touch points. Each video showed me Glow enjoying herself, playing, and being extremely comfortable. Martin also offered to take my dog earlier than the booking, which allowed me to pack in peace and know that she is getting used to her new temporary family. I highly recommend leaving your pets for short or extended stay with Martin and his wonderful family. For the amount of activity and comfort he provided to my pet, the rates were extremely affordable. I look forward to Glow’s next stay at Uncle Martin’s. Our family sends gratitude for an excellent experience.”
“Ana took great care of my sweet Buddy! It was his first time to have anyone watch him. Ana texted photos and updates from time to time. She allowed me to bring his kennel, blanket, bed, and toys! I think he was as comfortable as he could be while being in a new place without his family! Thank you Ana! I'll book you again when I take my next trip!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Kyungah was amazing—professional, attentive, and loving. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and my dog seemed so comfortable and happy when I returned. Highly recommend and caring sitter!”
“He is always happy when he arrives and happy when I come to pick him up. Norma is great with him, keeps me up to date with photos or any questions she has. I already have my 3rd sitting set up with her.”
“Open communication, always quick to respond, sent daily updates and pictures, and took great care of our puppy while we’re out of town for a week. Got him back clean and smiling. Highly recommend Robyn!”
“This was our second time using Diana and once again we were incredibly happy with our experience :) Diana is such a caring person who treats your pets like her own and really gives thorough updates and lots of pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a place to board their companions :)”
“Lauren and her family spoiled our little guy. It was definitely a pleasant experience from start to finish. We felt very comfortable when we met Lauren and her wonderful boys. We received updates and pictures throughout the day. He even got spoiled with special ice cream and a pup-occino. Will definitely use Lauren in the future.”
“Elizabeth and Raul were wonderful. They were attentive and reliable and were available on short notice. During my first experience with them, they went above and beyond to accommodate me for a month long stay. I am new to San Antonio, and had no friends or family in the area that could help. They really showed great concern and care for my dog and were very descriptive in their daily emails to me while I was away. On one occasion where I hadn't responded timely, they reached out to my friend to make sure I was alright and to let her know my dog was doing great. Some of the best pictures I have of my dog were sent by Elizabeth. By far, they have been the best dog boarders I’ve had. My dog really liked them and he came back well behaved and loved. They took such good care of him. It was a great experience and I knew upon meeting them, my dog was in excellent hands with them. I am truly a satisfied and happy client! I will use them on a regular basis and highly recommend them! Thank you Both! I really appreciate all you did.”
“Matthew cared for my 6year old pitBull for 5 days. Great communication and updates. He really made me feel at ease. Highly recommend. Thx Matthew!”
“They were great with my fur babies and very patient with them. My dogs have separation anxiety and like to be near people all the time. They handled them with care, patience and understanding. Very nice couple, overall really good people.”

Carlson took wonderful care of Philly and Taylor while we were away! She sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was communicative, reliable, and so kind with our senior dog, Philly, even when he had a couple of accidents. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. We’d absolutely book with Carlson again and highly recommend her!
Huge shoutout to Megan for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away. She kept me updated, made sure everything was handled, and treated my dog like family. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. Reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Megan to anyone needing someone dependable to watch their pets! 🐾🙌
Alyssa was incredibly kind and took such wonderful care of Bella. We received constant updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease while we were away. She also ensured Bella was comfortable and well cared for during the entire stay. Alyssa was also very flexible with our schedule, which was a huge help and made the whole process stress-free. Thank you for taking such good care of our Bellita!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Helotes on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,379 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Helotes. 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 Helotes 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 Helotes 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 Helotes 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 Helotes.
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 Helotes 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.
