About: What sets me apart is the space and care I provide. I live on 2.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to safely explore, play, and burn off energy. As both a lifelong dog and horse lover, I’m comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to help them feel at home. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family, providing lots of attention, playtime, and affection while keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether your dog loves to run, relax, or just wants extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care in a safe, country setting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom to my toddler. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive lots of love and supervision in a calm, family-oriented environment. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love incorporating them into our daily routine! In my home, pets have plenty of room to play and explore on our property while always being supervised. I provide a clean, alm environment with lots of attention, playtime, and affction so they feel like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the home and the pet’s routine. I make sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they’re used to while keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I'm a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. Whether you're away for a few hours or several days, I'll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection( bathing time could also be requested) just like they’re part of my own family. You can relax knowing your fur babies are in good hands!" As I am in the process of pursuing a career as a phlebotomist and enrolling in nursing classes, my schedule can be busy at times. For this reason, I don’t typically accept house sitting, but may make exceptions for short stays under a week if they are nearby and align with my availability. I do offer drop-in visits when my schedule allows and am fully accepting boarding, where I can provide consistent and loving care. I tailor my pet care based on each pet’s routine and needs, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual feeding, walking, and play schedule to provide comfort and consistency. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I always prioritize their well-being, communicate regularly with owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while in my care.

About: The companionship of my pets has always meant so much to me. As a homemaker, I have the time to provide them with the best possible care, including their health, nutrition, love, and plenty of affection. Your furry baby will be in the best hands and will be treated as if they were my own. I have a senior Jack Russell at home who loves having company just as much as I do. Your pup's tummy comes first, so their stay includes special treats such as pet-safe ice cream, duck treats, dog cookies, peanut butter, and only purified water. If your pet prefers their own diet, you are more than welcome to bring their food, and I will be happy to serve it according to their routine. My home has a fully fenced backyard where your furry friend can safely enjoy playtime and outdoor activities. I also have plenty of toys and cozy dog beds for them to relax and take a comfortable nap whenever they need one. My daily schedule is very flexible, as I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my routine without any issues. Your dog will have constant supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I am able to follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and any special needs to ensure they feel comfortable and at home. Hello! I'm Paty, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. Since I spend most of my time at home, your furry family member will receive constant supervision, love, and personalized attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm environment. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I have cozy beds and toys to keep your pet happy and relaxed. I also share my home with a friendly senior Jack Russell who is accustomed to other dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines. You can expect regular updates, photos, and messages during your pet's stay, so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while giving you complete peace of mind. I would be honored to care for your beloved companion and look forward to meeting both of you!

Tanya went above and beyond to make sure Lacey was taken care of. She came to my vehicle to pick up Lacey, along with all of her belongings, and when it was time for Lacey to come home, she brought her right back to my vehicle with all of her things. Those little extra efforts meant so much to me, especially during a difficult time. It was incredibly thoughtful and made me feel comfortable knowing Lacey was in such caring hands. Tanya truly treats Lacey like family, and I’m so grateful for her kindness, compassion, and willingness to go the extra mile. I highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Mercedes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Mercedes is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $42 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 October 2026, there are 152 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mercedes. 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 Mercedes 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 Mercedes 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 Mercedes.

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 Mercedes 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.
