“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.”
“Terry was great with my 18 month old puppy. He was attentive and gave my dog plenty of fun engagement and interaction all week long. I was nervous to leave my puppy with non-family for the first time, but seeing Terry’s preparation and passion for hosting dogs was so reassuring. What a wonderful first experience using Rover! Thank you Terry!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog and Luda made sure she sent me pictures and updates. She always reassured me that my dog was adjusting and doing very well. I would recommend her hands down. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Sabrina was awesome with our dog and he seemed to really enjoy his time with Sabrina and her family. I would highly recommend Sabrina and I will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Amazing! She and her family did an incredible job taking care of our girl. She communicated very well and her and her family loved on our Myla like she was their own! We recommend them ! A very kind, respectful family! Couldn’t have asked for anything better! They were absolutely the best !”
“We had the best experience with Bridgette while she watched our Yorkie for five days. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was kind, attentive, and treated him like he was part of her own family. We loved getting regular updates and photos—he always looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She followed all of his routines perfectly and even gave him a little extra TLC when he was missing us. When we picked him up, he was his same cheerful self, which tells you everything. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us and we have already booked with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter!”
“Amy is the best thing that has happened to us for our 4-legged loved ones. What I used to leave Carlie with does not even compare to how great it is for her now! If you want peace of mind when you leave your loved pet, you WILL WANT to use Amy. You will be very glad you did!”
“Julie watched our 5 1/2-month-old puppy Ziva for 4 nights while we took a trip to Florida. She sent us pictures every day and showed Ziva having fun with the other dogs in her care, and Ziva was very excited to see us when we came back, but she made sure to go and give Julie a hug before we left which tells me she had a great time. We will definitely use Julie again!”
“Was so nice to go on vacation and not worry about my little guy. I received daily updates and saw how happy he was there. He had his vaccination with Angie 😊 So glad I found her and will use her services again whenever we need to travel. My little guy was definitely loved and spoiled.”
“Chee was amazing! Our young mini Aussie had his first stay away this weekend, he had a ton of fun and was so well taken care of! I highly recommend Chee and will be taking Finn for more stays in the future”
“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! 🤍🤍🤍😊”
“Second time I've left my dog with Brianne and both times have been a great experience. She is awesome and completely takes the worry out of vacation for me! I know my dog will be in good hands with her.”
“Angel was absolutely amazing! She is attentive and responsive. Angel sent me multiple texts and pictures during my doggy’s stay. Angel made this experience wonderful. I had such a pleasant experience that my doggy will be a returning guest! 😊”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ponder on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,618 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.
