“Great service and excellent communication. She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really reassured me that the dogs were having fun and well taken care of. Highly recommend! Will book again.”
“So happy with our boarding experience with Travis and Julie! This was our 1st time with them and felt very comfortable leaving Luna with them. Very caring family, would definitely use them again. Luna was very happy when we picked her up!”
“Christina‘s passion for dogs is evident when you first meet her. Her house is set up to accommodate the dogs. She has a kitty pool for them to play in their backyard. She takes them on walks twice a day and is very loving towards the dogs. She effectively communicated the entire time we were out of town sending pictures and updates. I would very much consider using her again.”
“When she says “your dogs home away from home” that is the truth! Jordyn did amazing with our Aussie rescue, we were hesitant about boarding her since she tends to be a little skiddish. Jordyn assured me with her knowledge and experience working with rescues. My girl had a great time, and got to come out of her shell and make some friends🤍🐾 10/10 recommend Jordyn and her family for pet sitting needs! Thank you Jordyn for a great first experience with rover, Nova will definitely be back!✨”
“This was our second time having her take care of our dog, and once again, she was wonderful! She takes great care of him, and we always feel comfortable knowing he’s in good hands. Highly recommend her!♥️♥️♥️”
“Winnie and Oliver had a great stay with Carmen! We received daily updates and pictures and appreciated all Carmen did to make them feel loved while we were away - we will definitely call Carmen for any future needs!”
“Brad and Kelli were amazing. I felt so much at ease with them watching my fur babies. I have a really hard time leaving them, but after meeting Kelli, I knew they would be in safe hands. I 100% recommend Brad and Kelli for all your pet’s needs. We will definitely rebook in the future. My pups are exhausted from all the fun they had!”
“We cannot recommend Catherine enough! She watched our two dogs for over a week, and we were able to completely relax on our trip knowing they were in the best hands. She sent us sweet updates and pictures every single day, which we absolutely loved! It was so clear that she loved our pups like her own. Her home is incredibly welcoming and perfectly set up for dogs to feel safe and comfortable. Plus, her own dog is an absolute sweetie and got along beautifully with ours. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We were very pleased !! Our Boston Terrier and Aussie are not left regularly with someone else and we feel like Wallace was a great pick !! He sent photos and kept us informed regularly. Thank you, Wallace 🙂”
“I was nervous leaving my two Great Danes with anyone, as they have always gone with me on trips. Gloria was great handling their anxiety, kept me updated and made me feel so much more at ease with them in her care. I’ll definitely book her again”
“Ashley is always super communicative and helpful when I need to board my dogs. My high energy pups always come home tired from a full day of play and snuggles. I get plants of pics and updates and a full overview of their habits when I come to pick them up. I highly recommend Ashley for any pet sitting needs!”
“I would 100% recommend Monica to anyone who wants to know their pup is in safe hands while away and will definitely be using her again! I met with Monica the night before I was leaving to go out of town, and she was prepared with a list of questions about my dog's schedule, routine, eating habits, and more so that she was truly prepared to take the best absolute care possible of my fur baby. Monica has had years of experience fostering and owning animals and that was definitely apparant by the way she cares for both her own dogs and mine while I was away, and I felt comfortable knowing that Piper was in great caring hands. Monica's two dogs are super sweet and friendly and got along great with my dog as well. There is definitely no doubt in my mind that Piper was treated as one of her own while I was away, and I would 100% reconvened and use her again!”
“It was our first time using Rover, our dog Ziggy is an old Labrador, we were worried about leaving him in someone’s house. Elena was wonderful with Ziggy, she took super good care of him and she was updating us everyday with pictures and sweet notes. She was also very accommodating with us in a change to our booking. As mentioned before it was the first time I've used this platform, and when I was having trouble making the modification to our booking, she took the time to help me navigate and change the dates on the app. Ziggy had a great time at Elena’s and Ginger’s house, we highly recommend her to friends and family!! thank you so much Elena for taking such a good care of Ziggy.”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Bella. The care you gave her, the attention to detail and updates relieved my mind when I had to leave town on short notice.”
“They're fantastic! We messed up our booking by an entire day, and they were very accommodating watching our boys another day. And ontop of that our flights were delayed, and they were very kind about that as well. And most importantly, they pampered our boys, and made us feel they were safe. For as long as they do rover, we will try to book with them first.”
“Josh and family were GREAT for our pup Clover. It is clear that Josh does this because he loves dogs. He sent lots of updates, photos, and videos to put our minds at ease while we were away from Clover and made sure that Clover’s play needs were met by taking her out to walk and play fetch. If we return to the area we will definitely use Josh again!”
About: What sets us apart is our deep background in rescue and the attentive, loving home we provide. Over the years, I have fostered 28 puppies—potty training them, nurturing them through vital developmental milestones, and helping them find their forever families. We know what it takes to guide high-energy, learning pups with patience and structure. At the same time, we have a very soft spot for senior dogs. Having loved our own dogs through their twilight years, we understand the gentle care, slower routines, and quiet comfort older companions need. As former rescue volunteers, we are skilled at reading body language and helping nervous dogs settle into a new routine. Best of all, because I work from home and our family of three simply adores dogs, your pup will receive hands-on supervision, plenty of belly rubs, and a true home away from home. Working from home means your dog is a natural companion throughout my day. My workday allows complete flexibility to step away for regular potty breaks, fresh air and playtime in the yard. Guest dogs usually love keeping me company by my desk, snoozing on a dog bed while I work, punctuated by regular belly rubs and stretch breaks. Mornings and evenings are our active family times. We enjoy getting outside for walks and backyard play, followed by relaxed evenings where your pup is welcomed wherever we are in the house. Because our household has three dog lovers, there is always someone ready to give affection, supervise or offer gentle company. In our home, your pet is welcomed as a true family member. We have a secure, fully fenced backyard that allows for safe, off-leash playtime, potty breaks, and sunbathing. For daily exercise, our quiet, safe neighborhood offers peaceful streets for leashed strolls and sniffing sessions. Having fostered 28 puppies, I understand how crucial structure is to a dog’s comfort. I am fully experienced and happy to support crate training, whether your pup is already crate-trained or still learning, as well as keeping up with feeding schedules and house rules. Your dog will have a safe, quiet space to decompress, comfortable spots to lounge alongside me throughout the day, and plenty of love from our family.
“Another fabulous staycation for my pups! I'm convinced America loves on and spoils my babies more than I do. It is so great to know they are in such good hands while I am away.”

Alyssa was incredible with Scooby! She provided plenty of pictures, took him to the dog park, got him a pup cup and I genuinely felt like she treated him as if he was her own pup. I will definitely be using her again when I go out of town! Highly recommend her to take care of your pets 💜
Travis & Julianne took great care of Lola for us! We left her for the first time with them, for two weeks, and Lola appeared to fit right in with their family and pets. They were good about sending us pics almost every day, and we had no worries or concerns. I won't hesitate in recommending them or calling on them again. Thank you! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Karen is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $45 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,613 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Karen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Karen can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Karen 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 Karen.
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 Karen 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.
