“We had a wonderful experience with Sherron! She took amazing care of Max—he came back happy, clean, and clearly well-loved. You can tell they are a kind and caring family who genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing Max was in such good hands.”
“Holly and Brady took such great care of Henry! Daily pictures, videos and detailed write-ups capturing daily walks and play time was super reassuring. Zero worries on our summer vacay. In fact Henry seemed bummed to have to come home! Best Rover doggy caregivers, ever.”
“Guiselle and her family took great care of Simba. Communication was excellent and I received regular updates and photos. Simba came home happy. I highly recommend Guiselle and will definitely book with her again.”
“Jose and Danny were wonderful with Waco! They took great care of him over the weekend and kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Waco seemed very happy and comfortable with them. They were both kind, attentive, and clearly love dogs. We would definitely trust Jose and Danny with Waco again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters!”
“Jonathan did a great job caring for Gus. He made him feel like part of the family while we were gone for 10 days. He took him on walks/runs and even improved his willingness to bring the ball back to you. Having no other dogs in the house was a big attraction for us and worked best for Gus. The updates Jon sent helped us know he was fine while we were halfway around the world. This was our first boarding experience, and Jon made it great - thank you!”
“Kaley is always so positive and happy. She sends updates on my puppies while we are away and it makes the kids so happy seeing pics of their dogs while on vacation! She is always so responsive to us and attentive to our pups.”
“Maegan was amazing with our dog! She sent comforting updates all the time and our dog had the best time playing with them and her dogs. She handled our dogs high playful energy with ease and we couldn’t be happier that she kept him company while we were away. Would absolutely recommend her to anybody! Thank you Maegan 🙂”
“Zhian has watched Bowie several times now and is always fantastic. Lots of pictures, great communication, and most of all when he comes back he always seems like he's had a great time. Thanks as always Zhian!”
“Lori hosted our boxer "Lola" in January and we had the best experience, we had a meet and greet appointment to see how will she get along with Lori's family, it was great to meet them in advance. Her 2 dogs and her kids played all day long with Lola and we received multiple updates with videos and photos of them having the best time. We can tell that Lola was very happy. I definitely recommend Lori and I won't hesitate to ask her to host Lola on my next vacation.”
“I love Traci as a caregiver for my Lola! I was very nervous about leaving my newly acquired rescue dog. However, Traci is so calm and good with dogs that it wasn’t long until my fur baby was settled into her home. Everyday Traci provided pictures! Traci offered outings to stimulate the time and even had her dogs chilling with mine in no time. Lola became a big fan of Traci’s husband, who offered support in this adventure. When I picked Lola up, Traci showed me a bump on Lola that I hadn’t noticed before that needed medicine. Obviously it was an old bump. Can’t recommend her enough! Will certainly rebook in the future. It is obvious Traci loves animals and is good with them.”
“Ralphie (an anxious poodle) was clearly comfortable with Lawrence and his dog, Luna. Ralphie was walked daily, played in the backyard and even ate his meals. Lawrence kept me up-to-date with pictures. Ralphie came home happy and exhausted from all the attention. I highly recommend Lawrence.”
“My big dog, Wolf, had a great time staying with Kalyan & his family. Kalyan was super responsive, took great care of him, and sent me a lot of pictures while I was away. Definitely recommend him! Thanks so much!”
“Jon and his family were great with my dog Luna. They kept me up to date on how Luna was doing and sent pictures and videos of Luna. It’s clear that their family loves pets and strives to make them feel comfortable.”
“This is the first time we tried boarding our Sally girl and it was a wonderful experience! Jessica did a great job of updating us and sending pictures of our sweet pup. I was nervous how our doggy would do since she can be full of energy, but Jessica reassured me at the time of drop off and while we were away of how well our doggy was doing. I would 100% use Jessica again!”
“Shannon always takes wonderful care of our dog for boarding or day care. We love her pictures and updates. We never have to worry and always know she’s in great hands.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Leander is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leander
Shannan and her daughter were amazing! It was our first time with them. The house was set up to allow maximum comfort for the dogs. Introducing their dogs and other dog visitors was handled professionally and with focus on the temperament of the dogs. Each day of our trip we got updates through Rover and lots of pictures. Responses to our texts were quick. Our travel plans changed at the last minute resulting in us needing to pick up Peach much later than expected. Although inconvenient for Shannan, she accommodated us graciously. Peach was a happy excited puppy when we picked her up. We hope to be invited back!
Fiona was amazing with our dog, Willow. She sent updates and pictures and we felt that Willow was very loved and cared for. It’s hard for us to leave Willow because she’s truly a part of our family and we are picky with who we trust with her. From the meet and greet, we felt comfortable with Fiona right off the bat and we could tell that Willow loved her. We will be booking Fiona again in the future!
Kaley & family are wonderful sitters who we trust to give our little golden doodle excellent care & attention. Thanks for updates & photos while we were gone. Hated to leave so abruptly last night but we had to dash back to the airport for a forgotten item. Thanks again!
Our dog stayed with Jonathan for 3 weeks, and we could easily see she was well taken care of by her behavior when we picked her up. She is 14, and we wanted her to be comfortable and loved with someone who will be sensitive of her slower pace and needs. Jonathan took such good care of her and shared pictures and updates which made us feel she was safe and happy. When we picked her up she seemed strong and healthy, energized, and had the best mood. We will 100% book Jonathan again, and we are extremely pleased and highly recommend his care!
Treka is such a wonderful pet sitter for my girls. She has been watching them since our youngest dog was 6 months old and my girls absolutely love her! She sends the best pictures of them playing outside with her or her grandkids. Whenever we send them to Treka we always know they are going to be well taken care of and loved while we are away.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars!!! Absolutely Wonderful Experience! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Davyn! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing while caring for our fur-baby, Cooper. Her communication was outstanding, and she was always quick to respond whenever we checked in to see how he was doing. She sent us tons of pictures throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. And a special shoutout to her daughter, who was the real MVP! ❤️ You can genuinely tell that they are experienced, loving, and treat the fur-kids in their care as if they were their own. Cooper was in wonderful hands, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Finding someone you can truly trust with your four-legged family member is priceless, and we are beyond thankful to have found Davyn and her family right here in our area! We will absolutely be using her services again and again! If you're looking for a sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further. Davyn is a FIVE-STAR sitter all the way! 🐾❤️ P.S Cooper says hi!! 🐾
Jes was absolutely wonderful looking after Chloe for a few days! She was so easy to work with and incredibly accommodating when we had to make a last-minute adjustment to our schedule. Her communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay, and most importantly, Chloe couldn't be happier. We will definitely be booking with Jes again in the future!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our two boys, Otto and Ollie! They were happy, well cared for, and clearly had a wonderful time. Our sitters were patient, loving, and great with all their little schnauzer quirks. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands and would absolutely recommend this sitter. 5 stars isn’t enough!
Lawrence was absolutely amazing with Max! He was so caring, communicative, and responsive throughout Max’s stay. He answered our messages super quickly and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Max clearly had a wonderful time and came home happy, clean, and well cared for. We couldn’t be happier with Lawrence and will definitely use him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and responsible to take care of their dogs!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Leander is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Leander 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 Leander 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 Leander.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leander. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Leander 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
