“I highly recommend her! I had to travel out of state for an entire week, and this was a very last-minute booking that I made just a day before leaving. She was incredibly accommodating and helped me out when I was in a difficult spot. Throughout the week, she sent me daily photos and updates of my dogs, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was such a relief to see them happy, comfortable, and having a great time. She also has a huge backyard where the dogs could run around and play. Every photo she sent showed them enjoying themselves, and they always looked happy and well cared for. She is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”

“I can't express how awesome Michele is!! Took care of our puppy the whole week and loved him as her own dog, took him for daily walks, and played with her dog. Not only that, but every day she sent pictures assuring us that he was doing well and wishing us to enjoy our vacation. Also, her husband, Jeff is amazing and loved our dog very much!! Thank you, guys! 🤍🤍🤍😊”

She sent so many pictures that made us feel so comfortable and mako looked so happy the entire time! also, mako was in heat and chee graciously agreed to care for her with less than 48 hours notice for a week of care. It was a great experience!”
“Yvonne took great care of my dog. I was a little worried because my dog often does not get along with other dogs, but she did great with Yvonne's dogs and another dog also staying there (my daughter's dog). Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough how amazing Amy was amazing with our two dogs while my family was on vacation. She sent pics every day and updates on how the stay was going. Her and her husband are both very kind, warm hearted people who treated our dogs like their own. I’d highly recommend booking with Amy if you’re looking for a sitter. This experience was exceptional.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ponder on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,625 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ponder. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Ponder sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ponder landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ponder 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 Ponder.
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 Ponder 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.
