“I was very pleased with my dog sitting service with Andrea. She was very nice and easy to talk to. She always sends me lots of pics everyday. I especially love that her young son enjoyed playing with my dog as I am sure he loved it too! Very nice clean house as well. I definitely highly recommend hiring Andrea! I actually think he got sad the first night home without all his dog friends he made. lol Thank you for taking such good care of Mochi!”

“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.”

“This was the first time we've ever left our sweet Poppy for more than a couple of hours and so we were really nervous leaving her with a sitter. But meeting Carrie, my nerves melted away instantly!! She was SO wonderful, welcoming and patient with our pup when she displayed signs of being nervous herself. While we were gone, Carrie made it a priority to send me updates and photos throughout the day and I couldn't be more grateful!! We will DEFINITELY be using Carrie again in the future - she made this whole experience so amazing!!! Thank you, Carrie!! Love - The Torres Family”

It’s a great feeling to know Khloe was left with someone who cared for her like family. Five stars for sure!!”

Roland was absolutely amazing! Our dog, Woody,has high anxiety with other dogs due to being attacked by another dog. Roland made sure to take his time with him and was able to socialize Woody with several dogs including his own dog! By the end of the stay, Woody had new best friends! Roland sent multiple pictures and videos daily which allowed our family to truly enjoy our vacation. Roland provided exceptional pet sitting and we will definitely be back. Thank you Roland!

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.
