“We couldn’t have asked for a better overnight stay for Scout! Margot was extremely quick to respond, provided helpful information to make Scout’s stay as comfortable as possible, and gave us updates. We will definitely be back!”
“This was our very first time using rover and Aron was fantastic. He sent picture updates and was very communicative. Our pup was very happy during her stay. We are great full to have had such a great first experience on Rover with Aron.”
“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”

“Martie is the absolute crème de la crème, and I couldn't be happier with entrusting my best bud to her! From the initial meeting, it was evident that Martie is a kind soul who possesses a genuine love for dogs and a deep understanding of their needs. Communication was seamless, and she sent regular updates and pics so that I felt assured that he was not just in good hands, but the best hands. She was also extremely flexible and patient when my return flight was unfortunately delayed by over 4 hours (sorry about that again)! Martie is, without a doubt, my go-to dog sitter from now on. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a caring, professional, and loving sitter for their dogs! Thank you so much, Martie! I cannot express enough how much I appreciate you for taking in Tycho last minute and for the peace of mind knowing he was in the best hands while I was away!”
“Cookie our puppy, had a great time at Jessica’s house for over 2 weeks. He got a lot of exercise and we were sent photos every day. He was well cared for! Thank you Jessica.”
“Bo was great. Very quick to respond to texts. Also received daily photos of our pups and received a little holiday gift bag when we picked the dogs up. Definitely recommend Bo’s place and will use again!”
“Alicia did an amazing job taking care of Presley. My pup is big, hyper and a bit of a handful but Alicia made it work. I stayed at a place where there were no dogs allowed on the property so I tried a sitter at South Padre Island. That sitter called me late and told me she couldn't handle Presley. Luckily I was able to find such an experienced, dog loving sitter in Alicia. I spoke to her and let her know my situation and she offered to meet me more than halfway so I wouldn't miss too much time away from my weekend getaway with my family. She sent me pictures the next day of Presley playing fetch and I felt comfortable knowing my pup was enjoying his weekend as much as I was. I definitely recommend her to anyone needing dog boarding or sitting. Thank you so much Alicia and will definitely contact you next time I need boarding for Presley.”
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about your services. You took such good care of my Fur Babies! I loved the pictures and daily updates. Thank you for all the cozy hugs, petting, and play time. You took such good care of their special needs as well. Definitely booking you again! The Tapias”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, sticking to their routine, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I always make time for my furry babes. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and can often work with last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I have a spacious back yard that is fenced, enough space inside the house so they can feel like home. When you book with me, you can expect dependable, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: Any breed any size is welcomed! Whether you’re looking for a safe place for your hairy child to stay while you’re out of town or you’re just looking to have a vacation from your fur baby, you’re always welcomed to board with me. Hello! My name is Frank Barcenas. I am 28 and live in an apartment located in Bayview, TX. I have 2 pets of my own 2 dogs that mean the world to me and are by my side every second of the day. Taking care of dogs is a passion more than anything. Interacting with different breeds and seeing their different personalities is very interesting to me. I have been experienced with caring for animals for 5+ years. I have taken care of animals ranging from reptiles all the way to donkeys and pigs. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters in the valley and have worked at multiple kennels aswell. I enjoy every second of caring for the animals making sure they’re in a safe and lovable environment as if they were at home. I am experienced in clipping nails, bathings, giving medication, giving shots, and general training. Boarding at my apartment, you can expect that your pups will be cared for and given lots of love and attention. One of the biggest problems dogs have are experiencing extreme anxiety when being separated from their normal routine. Having plenty of toys and multiple distractions at my apartment will ensure that your pet baby has a smooth and wonderful experience when boarding. When boarding with me you can expect multiple photos and videos of your pets daily while boarding. Work a 9-5 job. Pups would be inside during the hot hours of the day with my wife and will have small time outside during peak heat hours. In the afternoon when the heat is not bad they will be able to be outside 3+ hours I have a fenced yard. 24/7 supervision of the pups. Away from any high traffic roads. I have 2 pups who do well with other dogs
“Eddie was sweet and caring and I know Shelby and Cooper felt comfortable in their surroundings. Eddie was very accommodating and easy going and made leaving my pups with her easy. I will reach out again to book with her if I’m in the area.”
“Gabriela took very good care of my pup while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and updates on Theo. He also enjoyed his stay with her. I recommend booking with her when you need a dog sitter!!”
“THEY WERE SO AMAZING. Sent lot's of updates, photos, and videos. Even accommodated the fact that my flight was delayed causing me to miss my connection and was stuck in ATL overnight. Their dog is so playful and friendly which made my dog have the time of his life. They took amazing care of my dog and provided him with all his vitamins and any of his special needs were well monitored.”
“I really appreciate Brittany to take Frankie in short notice. It was an unexpected 4-day trip. She sent me many pictures and videos and updated me regularly. Frankie has been a picky eater lately, but she was so patient with him. She even went through trouble to add a bit of egg into his bowl with kibbles as I suggested after discussing Frankie’s eating issue with me. Frankie looks so happy with Brittany’s dogs and cats in the pictures and videos. I’m super glad that he got to socialize and get along well with her pets. I’m a 100% return client.”

We have one senior dog who is great with other animals. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of running and play space.
“Samantha's super professional and kind. This was my first time leaving my pups with someone I don't personally know, and she sent me pictures and updates which made me feel much more comfortable. I was out of state fot a few days, and had a flight change on my way back, which made me late to pick them up. She was understanding, and even groomed them before I picked them up. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha and her family took great care of Benji. He received lots of attention and snuggles and we were sent photo updates daily. We will definitely seek out Samantha's services for our next boarding.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Port Isabel on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 49 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Port Isabel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Port Isabel 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 Port Isabel.
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 Port Isabel 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.
