“Tatiana was absolutely amazing with Kosmo! ❤️ She kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure Kosmo felt comfortable, safe, and right at home. Knowing he was being loved and cared for so well allowed me to enjoy my time away without worrying about him. I truly appreciate her attentiveness, communication, and the care she showed Kosmo. I would absolutely recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat their fur baby like family. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Very professional and nice. The only issue would be if you don't want your dog to love her more than you. Nami has been moping and missing her since she got home. :D Already re-booking our next stay with her!”
“Our family boarded Baby Bennett with Kaitlyn and Scott while we were on an 8-day holiday trip. After a successful meet and greet with their dogs, we communicated regularly regarding expectations, habits and routines. They were extremely flexible about drop off, items to bring, etc. We dropped off Bennett, who appeared terrified when we left. We received regular updates and pictures, showing how he was adjusting to his temporary home. When I wanted to pick him up after returning home, I had car trouble and Kaitlyn offered to drop Bennett home--with all of his gear. While he seemed happy to be home, he was also well rested, not stressed, and a little unhappy to part with Kaitlyn. We're very grateful!”
“We have had many pet sitters over the years and Amanda is by far the best! She gave wonderful, in-depth, daily updates of how our dog was doing using videos, pictures, and text. She went above and beyond taking care of his basic needs to use this opportunity to train him in areas he needed. We even learned some fun new things about him like his interest in watching dog TV. Haha Overall, I highly recommend her services!”
“10/10 would do again. I was worried about leaving my Dane with a sitter but he quickly put me at ease and updated us everyday with photos and videos. Will be using Christian again!!!”
“Wonderful! We were anxious about leaving our dog with a stranger when we went on vacation. Victoria was so warm and friendly, she immediately abated our hesitancy. Our dog lived her best life with Victoria, and truthfully I think doggo would’ve stayed with her forever if given the option. Victoria is highly recommended!”
“Cecilia was so great with my anxious cat. She was accommodating to his needs. Additionally, she provided frequent photos and thorough updates during his 10-day stay. Her communication was superb. Would 100% recommend!!”
“Jillian was so responsive and was able to help us out in a real pinch. She was so kind, and just a joy to work with. Pups were in no hurry to leave so they told us everything we needed to know. We hope she’s around next time we head up north.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including administering insulin and other medications. As an adult, I’ve had up to four dogs at once, ranging from a few months old to 11 years old, and helped train them with my partner. My family also has lots of pets, so I’ve always been around and helped care for animals beyond my own. I currently have one dog, Cash, who is very much my baby, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets! I am fully available from Friday-Sunday. I’m currently a full-time student Monday through Thursday, but my class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day! I have an hour break between classes and a two-hour lunch each day, which gives me lots of opportunities to head home, spend time with my own dog, and give your pets some love and attention too. 🐾 I’m currently available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pets while you’re away! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m happy to stick to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and whatever else they’re used to. And of course, I’ll send you plenty of pictures and updates so you know they’re doing well!
About: My 10 and 13 year old kids beg for Rover visits so they can play with and love on your dog(s). We also have a 5 yr old male lab and a 1 yr old female English pointer who are super friendly, playful, and energetic with all types of dogs. I've personally owned and handled dogs all my life, which required everything from basic to advanced training (from basic obedience to hand signals & whistle commands). My experiences have given me a broad understanding of dog behavior and temperament, and I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, age, and drive. While your pet is in our care, it will be treated like our own. If lots of play and/or attention is what your dog wants/needs, it is sure to get plenty in our home. My schedule is very flexible and so I can be sure to be around when pet sitting. In addition, we have 2 mature and responsible children who love helping to take care of others' dogs. We have a fenced yard with room to run and plenty of dog toys. We also have 2 very playful and friendly dogs of our own, so boredom and lack of stimulation would never be a problem. Plus, we have 2 very playful, dog-loving children who can provide calm and comforting attention if that is what is needed for an older or more timid dog. We are happy to provide specific accommodations for your pet as well, including crating at certain times of the day/night, neighborhood walks, etc.
About: I have always had some type of pet ever since I was little, whether that be dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, you name it! I love animals and have always been entrusted to be the main caretaker of all my family pets and have learned all different tips and tricks to make sure every animal is loved and cared for while their fur parents are away. I worked in the UC Davis Animal Science Department as a student resident, which meant I lived in a barn with animals 24/7! I have been taught by UC Davis veterinarians how to administer treatments and medicines, and have always been the first to call from my friends who need someone to take care of their pets while they are away. I am comfortable with active dogs, puppies, couch potatoes, or anything that just needs a cuddle every now and then. I have a lot of experience with bully breeds and high-maintenance coats, especially bulldogs, I've had 3 as family dogs! I just love dogs and cats and can assure you that I will make sure your loved one gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I work with livestock animals and have raised sheep, goats, and cattle for about 7 years now. I am comfortable with horses and any other large animals you may have. I can also provide a helping hand around a ranch or farm if needed and trained to work in all different conditions. If you have a flock of chickens that need to get fed, pens to be mucked while you are away, or any small chores I would love to discuss different rates to ensure that all your animals are cared for! I am a current grad student at Tech and a massive animal lover and have a relatively flexible schedule to fit your needs. I am available most mornings and all evenings, and since I am from California, I usually stay around Lubbock for most major holidays. I am willing to bring your furry friends to my home or house sit! I am also willing to provide transportation to dog parks if needed. While I am at your home, however, I ask that I have access to internet access for overnight stays. Other than that, I am very flexible in terms of living arrangements, I have experience with crate training if that is what your family practices. I am a vigilant, responsible individual who will provide the best of care for your family.
About: I’m an experienced and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all personalities and sizes. I’ve had dogs throughout my life and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping up with their routine, or simply providing some company. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and household routines. I miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to make new memories with your pup! My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am a current Master's student at Texas Tech studying Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy. I have classes Monday-Wednesday, so after class I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am mostly available weekdays and available all day on weekends! I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in their home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I am happy to accommodate any pet's needs! My apartment has a dog park with tons of toys and room to play! It's also a nice area to take them for walks around the block.
“They took amazing care of our babies. The videos and pictures gave us peace that they were being well taken care of and were enjoying themselves. I will definitely use them again.”
“Samana is truly amazing! She is genuinely caring and a real dog lover. She and her husband took wonderful care of our Husky, Shasta. Her communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay—Samana is super easy to talk to, very responsive, and always replies right away. She is friendly, respectful, honest, and completely open with updates. Knowing Shasta was in such thoughtful, trustworthy hands gave us total peace of mind. We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. Starting from my own, to family, to friends, and to co-workers/ people who need! I have house sitted plenty of times for people and I will make sure your fur babies are taken very well cared for of! I also provide in my house sitting where I am a stay at home mom so I will be able to watch your babies constantly! I am currently available any day or night to take care of your pups! I would of course just need to know in advance of time! I will follow any rules you have regarding to your house and make sure there is a safe environment for the fur babies! I also will give them lots of love and playtime!

Jennifer was a absolute lifesaver for us! She accepted a super last-minute request to take care of our Belgian Malinois, Bruno, and did an amazing job. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the breed and handled him with so much confidence and care. Her communication was prompt, friendly, and frequent—she always answered our messages right away with updates. Beyond her professionalism, Jennifer is such a warm and sweet person. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her!
We have used Sysylya a couple of times now! We absolutely love that we found her! Our mind is at ease knowing Ranger is being taken care of by her and her husband! This last time we had an unforeseen situation happen that caused us to have to extend Ranger stay another night and she was so understanding about it! Ranger always leaves so happy! I can’t recommend her enough! 🥹 15/10 recommend!
Amelia was amazing and my baby had the best time! She sent photos and vids and took him out on walks and has a set up that would be any puppy’s paradise! Bubba, my dog, is a rescue, and I worry about leaving him because he gets extremely nervous and shy in new environments. However, Amelia was able to get him out of his shell in less than a day!!! That’s so major for Bubba. I was able to enjoy my weekend away that much more knowing he was in such good hands and was enjoying his time as well! THANK YOU!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lubbock is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $52 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 119 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lubbock. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of sitters in Lubbock 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 Lubbock 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 Lubbock.
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 Lubbock. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Lubbock 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.
