“Andrea did amazing with the pups! She made sure to send daily updates with pictures. The pups had lots of fun playing in her backyard. They were very well taken care of.”
“Roland is a truly dependable, caring, and responsible dog sitter who goes above and beyond to ensure Lady and Angel are happy, healthy, and safe. Every day, he takes them for walks, showering them with love and attention, while keeping us updated with adorable photos and videos. Roland treats them as if they were his own, and they absolutely adore their walks with him and playing with Coco. Thank you, Roland, for your exceptional care and dedication to Lady and Angel. You’re simply the best!”
“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.”
“Lacey is absolutely amazing! She treats Cameron like he’s her own, and I can tell he feels completely comfortable and at home with her. She’s incredibly attentive to his needs, making sure he stays on his regular schedule, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. I always get updates and cute photos, and it’s clear he’s happy and well cared for. Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but with Lacey, I know Cameron is in the best hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Melissa + her husband were great! Sent lots of pictures + videos. Loved being able to do a meet + greet to see where my son was going to be while I was gone. Will def book next trip I need a sitter ??”
“Silvia and Jose were perfect surrogate pet parents for my Abby. Not only did they send frequent updates and photos showing Abby at play and rest and enjoying walks with the family, but they went out of their way to make Abby comfortable in their home, even adjusting her sleep environment for her comfort. I highly recommend Silvia and Jose for loving pet care.”
“Ashley did an amazing job keeping our puppy Brownie! She sent updates and photos daily and it was reassuring to know she was well. I would not hesitate to leave Brownie with Ashley in the future. She was wonderful!”
“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!!”
“We had a very pleasant experience with Kimberly, she cared for Pooch while we were away and was very quick to respond whenever I asked her about my Pooch. Highly recommend and will be staying with her 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!”
“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”
“Drogo really loves going to Timmesha & Joe’s home and they take great care of him! They were also very understanding and flexible with the urgency of my requests. We’ve already rebooked multiple times and consider them our primary choice for boarding him! Highly recommend!”
“Mollie had a great time with Ashley and her family! From the many photos I was sent it looked like she was very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Ashely and her family for your pet!”
“Carrie and her husband took fantastic care of our baby. We felt immediately at ease during the meet and great - and equally as impressed when we dropped him off. Carrie is very knowledgeable and even suggested something for us to try with our pet. They went on plenty of walks and she updated us frequently. We picked up a very happy dog. There was never a doubt in our minds that our little Frodo was being well cared for.”
“We've never left our cats with anyone before and had to do so for six weeks, so we were a bit worried. But Thi was an amazing cat sitter! Excellent communication, lots of reassuring pictures and videos throughout their stay, and our cats were clearly comfortable and very well cared for. Highly recommend!!!”
“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! 🥰”
“I would highly recommend Cynthia!! She cares for my dog with love and is very communicative. She even watched her for another night when my flight was delayed! She is the best pet sitter I’ve ever found :)”
“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.”
“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. 😂😂”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Iowa Colony is $40

Used Rover to find a sitter for my dog, Milo, and I’m so glad I found Ashley! She was absolutely awesome. Milo is usually very anxious around new people, but she immediately made him feel comfortable and at ease. She communicated with me regularly throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. Seeing how happy and comfortable Milo was made the entire trip much easier. I will definitely be booking with Ashley again!
Chayanne was great with my pups, especially the little finicky one, Trixie. She kept me in the loop regarding her behavior (not eating or taking meds) and I was able to give her some tips on getting her to eat. She could have easily not said anything and hoped it would resolve itself. Instead she took time to reach out to me and try what I suggested. I really appreciate the extra attention when needed. Thank you Chayanne! Will definitely book again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
