“I highly recommend Kristina! She exceeded my expectations with regular video and photo updates, keeping me informed about Coco's stay. Her family was warm and welcoming, and their two adorable dogs were a lovely bonus! Kristina provided top-notch care for Coco, and I'm so grateful for her service. I'll definitely be using her again and again. 110% recommended! If I could give her 10 stars ⭐️ , I would. Thank you, Kristina we can't wait to see you soon!”
“Billy was great with our little girl whiskey!! She was very happy and well taken care of, she was able to run and play and enjoy all the other friends houses at his location!! I would highly recommend him for your fur babies/friends!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our 2 dogs with Tristan for the weekend. They took to her immediately at our meet and greet and upon drop off they couldn’t get in the door fast enough. I received daily updates along with pictures. Upon leaving, her daughters made sure to come tell my dogs good bye and even kiss them on the head. That was very reassuring for me that they were well loved during their stay.”
“Peanut had a very good overnight stay with Tracy. Because of Peanut’s special needs, I requested regular communications from Tracy, both good & not so good reports. Tracy did a great job of keeping me informed of how Peanut was responding to Tracy’s care. I will definitely consider rescheduling Tracy to care for Peanut, in the future.”
“My baby girl has major separation anxiety, but the minute we pull up to Susan's house she jumps right out and is super excited to see her. I do enjoy traveling a lot and I never have to worry when she's visiting Miss Susan's house!!!”
“Manny did an amazing job watching our two huskies for a few days! He made sure they got plenty of walks and always sent us pictures so we could see how they were doing. Will definitely book again!”
“This was the first time we had left Milo, our 16 month old Miniature Schnauzer, with anyone. We were very pleased with Courtney and her families care of Milo. It took Milo a couple days to get over his anxiety, but once he did, Milo was very content. We are so happy to have found Courtney and will definately use her services again when needed.”
“Nathan and his wife took amazing care of our two dogs and truly treated them like their own. They sent us daily pictures, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and having a great time — it honestly felt like they were on vacation. They were incredibly responsive, kind, and flexible, especially when we almost had a weather-related emergency. When we picked our dogs up, they were excited to see us but also clearly loved staying with Nathan and his wife, which says everything. We’re so thankful for them and will absolutely book with them again. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Took very good care of our two pups and we were extremely happy with their services. We had an issue and could not make the scheduled pick up time and they were very understanding and accommodating.”
“I almost don’t want to rate them because they were so great! Amazing communication and sent us tons of photos which we really appreciated. Doggies seemed really happy and relaxed”
“We had a great experience leaving Flower in his care while we were away. He was very communicative throughout her stay, kept us updated, and we felt comfortable knowing she was being well cared for. He was attentive to Flower and her needs, and she was happy and doing great when we picked her up. We really appreciate the care and attention he gave her while we were away. Thank you!”
“We dropped our fur baby at Ashwani and Garima’s last weekend and Ashwani was excellent with our boy during his stay. We first had a meet & greet and we were given a tour. During our stay, we were constantly receiving updates via pics/videos. I was amazed to see that our fur baby was actually sad after we picked him up which tells me that he had a joyful stay. I am definitely rebooking in future and i highly recommend Ashwani and garima.”
“We recently entrusted our dog to Lawrence's care for three days and couldn't be happier with the experience. As pet owners, leaving our furry family members in someone else's care is never easy. Still, Lawrence made the process smooth and worry-free from start to finish. First and foremost, communication was exceptional. Lawrence updated us with texts, photos, and videos throughout our dog's stay. He genuinely cared about our dog's well-being and wanted to ensure we were at ease. His proactive approach to communication was a huge relief for us. What impressed us the most was Lawrence's ability to establish a bond with our dog. It's not easy for every pet sitter to gain a dog's trust, but our dog warmed up to them quickly, a testament to Lawrence's pet-sitting skills and his passion for animals. In summary, we are delighted with the pet-sitting services provided by Lawrence. His dedication, communication, and genuine love for our dog made us confident that our furry family member was in the best hands possible. We will not hesitate to use Lawrence again in the future. We highly recommend his services to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Lawrence, for taking such excellent care of our dog.”
“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.”
“Excellent care, attentive and responsive with an incredible space for puppies!! Ours was a bit of work but Patrick was great with communication and care for our six month old pup! Not to mention his home is better than any B&B you'll find in Austin! I think our doggie had a better vacation than we did which is just the way you want it!! Thank you Patrick and family!!!”
“Isabella was communicative and friendly. We got picture updates of our dog and prompt responses whenever we reached out. Our pup came home very happy. We would gladly book with Isabella again.”
“Laura and her family took great care of my fur baby while I was away. She is an excellent communicator, sent frequent updates and was very accommodating. Daisy loved her, will definitely book again 💕”
“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!”

Kristen and Christina were very welcoming for our little dog with a ball of energy. A pet owners themselves, they seemed at ease with the task of sitting for an another owner’s pet and making sure the pet felt right at home with their pets. They would send photos daily and that gave us peace of mind.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oatmeal is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 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.

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.
95% of sitters in Oatmeal 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 Oatmeal 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 Oatmeal.
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 Oatmeal. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Oatmeal 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.
