“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.”
“Andrea took great care of our two dogs. She has a black lab who gets along with most other dogs. My dogs and hers wore each other out playing in the backyard. I also appreciate that Andrea or her husband are at home during the day.”
“Leia had no complaints about her time with Eva and Kallven's sweet family. She had only good things to say;). Thank you Eva and Kallven for keeping my baby girl safe and happy while we vacationed. Xo.”
“Lacey is awesome! Lacey is super kind and excellent sitter! I could not wish for someone better. She took amazing care of my little spoiled demanding furry girl. She shared so many videos and pictures with me while I was away from my little girl so I would know what She was doing all the time. She left a little scorecard and treat bag for her. I absolutely recommend Lacey to anyone who is looking for a kind and experienced sitter. Lacey will be only sitter that I will use in the future.”
“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.”
“Kimberly is fantastic! Super communicative, nice, knowledgeable and best of all has your pets best health and experience in mind. I’ve used her twice now and this last time was for an entire month. She sent pictures along with updates and I always felt Mattie was in good hands. Will definitely use her again! I highly recommend her.”
“Ashley is amazing! Great communication, and she sent us a bunch of photos! My lab got to spend her first birthday at Camp Ashley, swimming, running and playing! Could it be any better? I think she’s going to sleep for the next few days to recover! Thanks for all your personal touches Ashley, we know Kallie was well-loved. ❤️”

“This was our second time repeat. Melissa's always done a great job at taking care of our Mochi even when he injured his kees recently before he was dropped off at Melissa. Melissa gave him his medicine and took good care of him. I highly recommend Melissa!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ashley gave to Ruby! From the moment we dropped her off, Ashley made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos and messages showing how much fun Ruby was having with her dog, and it was clear she treated her like one of her own. Ruby came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Ashley is responsible, kind, and truly amazing with dogs — we highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“I had a great experience and would highly recommend Shang! He took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay by sending pictures and videos, which I really appreciated.

I would definitely use their services again!”
“This was our first time using Chayanne to watch our miniature schnauzer Pluto. We were very pleased. She kept us updated on his progress with photos and video. I recommend her to take care of your pet. We definitely will be using her again.”
“Thi was very accommodating in taking us last minute. She was very welcoming and even made my cat more comfortable during her boarding. I also loved the photos that she sent letting me know about my kitty and how her stay was going. Will definitely be using her 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!!”

“Amazing experience. Mathew and his amazing wife was beyond helpful and communicated very well. We did a meet and greet and immediately, I felt safe to be able to keep my dog with them. They communicated continually and always responded immediately. I got pictures, videos, and amazing playtime. I will definitely be booking again, actually next weekend. 😂😂”
“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!😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Iowa Colony
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!

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.
