“Ariel has very happy days with Andrea family. Andrea always send Ariel photos to me. I am very glad to find a place that Ariel could leave when I am out of town. Thank you, Andrea and your family. Wei”
“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!”
“We hadn’t left our 10-year-old silver Lab with anyone in a long time, and we really didn’t want to board her in a large facility. We were looking for something more personal and calm, and Roland ended up being a perfect fit. Communication was great from the start, which made leaving for an extended Europe trip much easier. Our dog got lots of individual attention and gentle socialization with Roland’s dog Coco, and she was clearly comfortable and happy while we were away. Roland even worked with her on a few behaviors and took the time to show us how to continue that at home, which we really appreciated. We came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for dog. He’ll definitely be our first call for future pet sitting and boarding, and we highly recommend him.”
“Ashley was great!!! She was very fast in responding and also kept me informed about my pet throughout the day. Would definitely recommend booking her! My dog says she wants to go back!”
“If you're looking for someone to take care of your dog the way you would take care of them this is the spot. My dog is very shy but fit right in I will definitely use them again wonderful people.”
“Shang made boarding very easy. He communicated very well and was always quick to reply and sent me pictures. My dog had a great time at his house and playing with Shang’s dogs. Would definitely board Charles with him again.”
“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍”
“Johnny and his team were great with my pup Cairo. They are extremely knowledgeable, animal-loving, and professional. As someone that hasn't needed a new sitter in 5 years, they eased my anxiety a lot. Sent multiple check-ins with pictures, and note-worthy updates. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a reputable sitter in the area.”
“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.”
“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”
“Thi is an amazing, stellar, rockstar of a cat sitter! I can’t believe how lucky we were to find her last minute to watch our cats before a month long trip overseas. Not only did she have the most inviting and calm residence, but my cats took to her really well. Our young kitten even has become more behaved and calmer from his stay with Thi. I’m just so grateful for all of the work they put in to keep our fur babies happy. The notifications to see them during our trip were so joyful and a release of any worry about their well being. I will definitely be coming back!!🌸🌸”
“Ashley took such great care of my dog, Bowser! She kept me updated with texts and photos, and it was clear that Bowser was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated the extra communication and attention she gave him. I’ll definitely be calling on Ashley again!”
“This was a great experience for us. This was the first time for our little one to stay with someone other than us and he loved it as well as our older dog. We can’t be more thankful for finding Ashley G. when we needed someone. We will definitely be using her again….Thank you Ashley for caring for our fur babies!!!!”
“This family took great care of our extra large puppy for a week. Praise to them for keeping him happy and putting up with all the puppy behavior! They also consistently sent video of our guy and were super helpful all around. 100% recommended! They were great! Hope they will have us again.”
“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!!”
“I could not be happier with Elezha’s care of our Khloe. She kept me informed of her daily activities and sent pictures each day. Khloe was extremely well taken care of and was right at home when I picked her up. Elezha definitely cares and it shows! I will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need services again. It’s a great feeling to know Khloe was left with someone who cared for her like family. Five stars for sure!!”
“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.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Iowa Colony on Rover is $39.49 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 2,456 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.
