“Chyanne was beyond amazing. From the onset of the booking she was helpful, communicative, flexible and kind! Her space was welcoming and very accommodating to my fur baby! The pictures she sent showed his joy and comfort! I’m very thankful I booked with Chyanne and will definitely be having her sit again!”
“Lacey was very attentive to our senior dog. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the week. He seemed really happy. We’ll be using her services on our next trip!”
“Cynthia was a gem. We left out pup for a full week for the first time and she made sure my kids and I were kept at ease the entire stay. Updates and pictures did not need to be requested as she made sure we were in the know. Cynthia is very comforting and welcoming and we will surely use her again.”
“Kimberly was a great sitter! She made my first time using Rover a great experience. She always kept me updated during the entire week she watched Mack. I received pictures and stories daily. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ollie! Loved all the videos and pics that you sent everyday...I know he had such a fun time- thank you for everything Amanda!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She watched her for 10 whole days, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She communicated so well throughout her stay and sent us tons of pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away for that long. It was clear from the pictures that she felt completely at home with Ashley and her sweet family. She looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. And honestly, now that she’s home, she almost seems a little sad to be back 😂 which tells me she had a really good time! Ashley went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and loved, and we are so grateful. I would absolutely trust her with our pup again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family! ❤️”
“Kathryn was wonderful with our dog while we were on vacation! Communication was great—she sent daily updates and lots of videos, which we really appreciated. Our dog has some separation anxiety and she was incredibly patient and caring with him. It was clear he was being well looked after. We’d absolutely book with her again.”
“Could not have been better. We got delayed and they offered to keep our critters longer. Great communication and updates. My new permanent dog sitters. Great people”
“Keliann is incredibly caring and attentive. I know when I leave my dog with Keliann that she will be in a loving home with great company! Keliann always sends thoughtful, thorough updates on my dog’s stay including pictures, descriptions of the days activities, and how happy my dog is to play with the others. I highly recommend boarding with Keliann!”
“This is the second time our pet dog has stayed with Leon and family. He loves this family and is so calm and rested when we pick him up from Leon’s place. This is a home away from home for him, and it is such a comfort for us to know that he’s in good hands.”
“Jennifer was amazing! From the moment I met her I was confident that I had chosen the perfect sitter for Beaux! I came back from my trip early and contacted her to arrange early pickup but she and her family had taken Beaux out to the park which I thought was AWESOME!!!”
“This was a short visit for Hira and Belle with Janna. Janna did share a couple of pictures during their stay and they looked happy. Thank you for taking them out on walks, Janna. Much appreciated. We will definitely considers booking their stays with Janna’s family again.”
“We absolutely love this dog sitter and have used them several times in the past. They treat Lucky like family, and it truly shows every time. We always feel completely at ease knowing Lucky is in such caring, loving hands. Coming back to a happy, relaxed Lucky means everything to us. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I couldn't be happier with Desiree's exceptional care of my dog Daisy over the past week. Desiree is incredibly responsive, caring, and trustworthy. Daisy seemed genuinely happy in her care, and I could see that Desiree made her time enjoyable. From our initial meet-up, I felt confident and grateful to have her looking after Daisy while I was away. Highly recommended!”
“Our fur-baby, Shamrock, immediately felt comfortable with Angelo. When we dropped Shamrock off, we were expecting him to not want to go. However, he was comfortable with Angelo right away. I am a firm believer that dogs know which humans are good ones. Angelo also sent us a daily picture, which we truly appreciated.”
“Amy and Chelsea took great care of my two pups and made sure they were happy and comfortable during their stay. They are quick to respond to messages and very nice individuals.”
“So happy with how Regan took care of our little Zero. You can tell the love she puts into carting for your dogs and I would 100% recommend her for anyone needing a sitter for their furry family member”

Brooke was absolutely wonderful with Milo! From start to finish, she kept us completely at ease with regular updates and adorable photos while we were away. You can tell immediately how much she loves dogs, not just her own, but every pup in her care. I knew from the moment we met her that Milo was in the best possible hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we will definitely be booking with her again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Iowa Colony is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night.

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.
95% of sitters in Iowa Colony 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 Iowa Colony home-away-from-home, 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 Iowa Colony.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Iowa Colony 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 , 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 .
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.
