“They were so sweet! Sent pictures each day and when I ran late getting back They offered to keep her an extra night. They also woke up at 130 am so that I could pick her up because I didnt want to spend another night without her!! Amazing sitters.”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Grace and her husband John are the best. They have hosted my fur babies before and I always feel comfortable and stress free when the girls are in their care. Grace keeps us updated by sending texts and pictures.,Grace and John show that they genuinely care for my fur babies and I can tell that my girls are very comfortable and relaxed with them. I highly recommend their services. I give them a 5 star rating every time.”
“Momo had a fantastic stay. He made new friends and played a lot. I received many pictures and videos throughout the day- i didn’t have to worry about Momo at all. Very grateful to Yan and Yunhan. Will reach out to them again in the future:)))”
“Desmond and Robyn were great with our Luna! They sent pics/videos daily. This was our first time using the Rover app. We were pleased with the service we received. We will definitely schedule with Desmond and Robyn again if we need to.”
“Stephanie was an absolutely AMAZING sitter! My pup is fear-reactive and this was my first time leaving her with a Rover sitter so I was a bit nervous, but Stephanie took such good care of her and made sure I had plenty of picture and video updates. :) I’m looking forward to booking with her again!!”
“Ashley and her family are the best! My baby is always so calm when I drop her off. That’s how I know she trusts Ashley as much as her mom and dad. We don’t like to use anyone else!”
“Alice did an exceptional job taking care of James, as usual. She was attentive and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos. I highly recommend Alice to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Marie went the extra mile to both understand Koko’s senior needs as well as alleviating my nerves by sending lots of updates. Koko was all tail wags while there and upon returning home. Thank you Marie and Chris!”
“Lexi really enjoyed being there and I have nothing but good things to say about these two. I appreciate them coming through for me and keeping lexi happy in my absence!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Over the past year, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience dog sitting and caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. From daily walks and playtime to meals, medications, cuddles, and overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I love getting to know each dog individually and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether we’re out exploring, relaxing at home, or simply enjoying some extra attention, I’m happiest when I’m spending time with dogs. My goal is always for both the pups and their parents to feel happy, comfortable, and confident that they’re in good hands. I currently work a full-time job, so I’m typically away from home from 7-3 Monday through Thursday and home on Fridays and weekends. That said, I always make sure my pups are a priority and receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an 11-year-old dog named Maya who is friendly and would be happy to keep your pets company during their stay.
“Grant did an amazing job taking care of Nyah! From the moment we left her in his care, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. He was dependable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He made sure Nyah got plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while we were away. We also appreciated the updates and photos—it was clear she was happy and comfortable. We would absolutely trust Grant to watch Nyah again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Our pups were well taken care of by Sahara and Santo! They had tons of fun and we received a lot of pictures. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Definitely will be back!”
“Dolly was so well entertained and taken care of! She was quickly accepted into the pack by the others. Maribel was very communicative, sending photos and videos throughout the weekend! I think maybe Dolly wasn’t ready to go home 😂 Thank you Maribel, I will definitely book with you again!”
“Mariana did an amazing job yet again with our boys! They always have such a wonderful time playing and hanging out with her. Mariana will always be our go-to whenever we need someone to watch our pups ❤️”
“Aine and Jared (and Fionn their lovely pup) were just wonderful with Nala! They were super flexible with pickup and drop off and very responsive throughout the entire stay! They sent us photos and videos and ongoing updates and we received a happy dog that loved her stay there! Thank you guys again and I’m sure we’ll be back for our next getaway!”

As always, Thomas and his family are great! First time watching our new puppy who also had a broken leg and everything went super smoothly. Couldn’t trust Thomas more and it’s great to have that relationship with him and not have to worry about our dogs during vacation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Martindale is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 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 of October 2026, there are 2,582 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Martindale. 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.
96% of sitters in Martindale 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 Martindale home-away-from-home, 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 Martindale.
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 Martindale 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 , 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 .
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.
