“We love having Milo stay with Andrea! He’s stayed with her family several times and always has so much fun. Her dog and Milo get along wonderfully and he’s even made friends with other dogs who come to stay. We get lots of pictures and she’s always very adaptable. I feel comfortable knowing Milo is safe, happy and cared for like family!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I reached out and no one was available due to Spring Break. Mr. Ronald instantly responded and stated he was available. He constantly kept in contact with us by sending pictures, videos, and updates. He even gave tips on how to potty train our fur baby. I felt so at ease knowing our fur baby was well taken care of. I am definitely going to use him again. Thank you again Mr. Ronald. I would recommend him and we will be using him.”
“They did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby! They kept me updated with pictures everyday letting me know how my fur baby was doing. I will definitely be requesting this lovely family again. Thank you Eva & Kallven!”
“Lacey is the perfect pet sitter for my little yorkie! Her house is set up beautifully to care for doggies and she is great giving updates on how my fur baby was doing! I felt relaxed and comfortable with all the loving care she gave! Definitely will be back!!”
“Great experience boarding my dog Honey at Anchors Art Pet Resort. The staff was attentive, caring, and kept me updated with pictures during her stay. It made me feel very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them.”
“I am very happy to have had Kim's help. An issue came up during the stay and I had to extend the time, and Kim helped me out. Toby was well cared for and she took him for a walk to burn off some energy. If I need help again, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to contact her.”
“Apawlo had great time with Ashley. She sent us regular pictures and updated us on his stay. We have taken our dog all over the nation looking for good dog parks, but finally we found the perfect dog paradise right in our backyard at Ashley's home. Apawlo had time of his life running around smelling various smells, creating a smell database. Apawlo was very very happy to be with Ashley and very happy to run around their vast property and chasing cats and other birds. He almost didn't wanted to come home with us after the brief vacation (just like our kids used to do, when they were young) This was the first time Apawlo had stayed away for this long and now that we found Ashley and a second home for Apawlo, we plan on going on more vacations and let Apawlo have more vacations at Ashley's dog paradise.”
“Melissa, her husband, and their pups were wonderful hosts for my playful, sweet pup. You can tell both of them love dogs and really enjoy having them over. Their setup is great, giving the pups a designated space in a large playpen and pretty much unlimited access to the yard. There were about 5 other dogs there, one of which was also a puppy and made sure my pup got lots of playtime and exercise, and socialization, which was my main goal. The space is also very clean and organized. On top of everything else the communication was great and I got some great pictures and updates. I'm a very grateful dog mom. Highly recommended.🫶🏻”
“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!”
“Ashley was an exceptional sitter. She kept us informed through daily updates and sent pictures of Marley. Marley always appeared happy, relaxed, and content. We are incredibly grateful to have found her.”
“Thi My Hanh N was very nice and accommodating! I loved receiving updates and tips, since I am a new cat mom. My sweet boy Gopher enjoyed his stay and made a new friend.”
“Ashley is one of the sweetest person I’ve met and was so amazing with our 6 months old pup, Charlie! She kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout the day. I’m pretty sure Charlie had a great time and was comfortable in her care. Will definitely book again!! Thank you Ashley!!!!”
“Ariel took excellent care of my Bailey, so glad to have made the connection. I appreciated Ariel for sending pictures and updates without asking, definitely made me feel comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will book again!!”
“Elezha did an awesome job with my dog! I have never seen him connect with someone so fast. She kept me updated the whole time & gave him plenty of walks. Will definitely book again for future needs!”
“I was worried about leaving my 10wk ofd puppy with anyone for the first time, especially knowing there were other big dogs in the house, when he'd never really met any dogs before. BUT, to my VERY pleasant surprise, it proved to be one of the BEST days my baby ever had, as realized from the video sent to me while he was there. My pup ended up taking over the place; literally running around, jumping on, and over the big dogs who were sweet enough to tolerate his energetic l'il self? 🤐🤣 It was hilarious, and immediately put me at ease! Mr Chang was even kind enough to take him as a last minute booking as I knew no one, but trusted Rover from the past! I can't thank he, and his friend enough for accommodating us, and they deserve more than the 5 stars available! 🥰”
“Silvia and her family took exceptional care of our two dogs, Molly and Piper, for two weeks and we could not have asked for a better experience. They were incredibly attentive and loving, especially with Molly, who has an illness and requires medication. Silvia administered her medication consistently and with great care. They were very aware of Molly’s limp, made sure other dogs kept their distance, and still ensured she got safe movement each day, even carrying her during walks so she could enjoy being outside. Communication was outstanding throughout our trip. Silvia regularly shared updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and treated like part of their family. We highly recommend Silvia and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible sitter.”
“Very pleased with Michael and Dara. This was the first time I had to leave my two dogs with a pet sitter. They made me feel comfortable and less worried. I have a dog who needs meds twice a day and can be terrible about taking them. Michael made it work and kept his schedule. I received pictures and updates every day.”
“Thank you so much for watching Kai! You guys were amazing and help Kai to get comfortable. I was happy that Kai was in good hands as you were patient with him. I was kept informed with daily updates during his stay. ☺️ I will be booking in the future.”
“Carrie was beyond incredible—truly a lifesaver! She stepped in without hesitation for our last-minute emergency and took phenomenal care of our 2-year-old dog. This was his very first time away from home, and she made him feel safe, loved, and completely comfortable from day one. What meant the world to us was that she kept us updated every single day with pictures and messages, which gave us so much reassurance and peace of mind. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. We knew our pup was not just cared for, but truly cherished. If you’re looking for someone you can trust 100% with your pet, Carrie is the one—no hesitation, no second thoughts. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍”
“Kham and Mary were wonderful to our dog. Their three dogs welcomed our dog and made her feel comfortable in a new environment. They provided multiple photos and updates which calmed her nervous owners!😊”

Professional, sent pictures and showed genuine care for my Giant Schnauzer! Roland communicated daily and just made me feel at ease at our meet and greet. He shared tips to improve my dog’s behavior and demonstrated. Thank you Roland and I look forward to scheduling again.
Ashley is amazing 10/10! I was very nervous about leaving our puppy with someone we didn’t know, but from the moment we met Ashley, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Throughout our puppy’s stay, she kept us updated with daily messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication, care, and professionalism were outstanding. We had a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be booking with Ashley again in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Iowa Colony on Rover is $39.96 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 2,476 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Iowa Colony. 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.
96% of Iowa Colony 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 Iowa Colony 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 Iowa Colony 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 Iowa Colony.
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 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 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.
