“Michelle & Jeremiah were great! Leilani really enjoyed her stay and she slept like a baby when we got back home 😂 overall they were very communicative and kept me updated along the way with pics/videos. Great people & great service! They took great care of her. Definitely recommend.”

“Cathy did a wonderful job taking care of our 6.5 lb chihuahua! We are so happy we found her! She communicated well with us throughout his week long stay and sent many pics. He genuinely looked like he was having fun!”


“I honestly can't say enough awesome things about this family and the care they gave my Peepod while I was away. The updates and pictures were endless, which I loved and just from the way my Peepod acted when I took him to their home I knew he was super comfortable and would be treated like their own, and he definitely was ! I wish I had found them long before now as I was always worried when leaving him at times in the past. The most impressive thing about Esteban and his beautiful family was they were the first to ever ask me what Peepod enjoyed and some interesting things about Peepod. I loved that, and I felt extremely at ease knowing he was in their care. I hate leaving my Peepod but I truly can't wait to let him visit again. Thank you all for your genuine kindness and caring for all animals.”

“Shyonda is an incredible person who cares so much about taking care of your dog!! Not only did I feel like family so did Kate. She enjoyed her stay and I felt at ease the entire time!!! I love the photos and videos of my sweet girl and seeing her so happy. Kate was so happy when I got there and had basically decided for me that she will be back just for fun!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!”

“She accommodated my last minute request and my dog had a great time! Her and her family took care of him like their own and sent plenty of pictures and updates while I was away. I would send my dog there anytime!”

“Lori helped me out when I needed a dog sitter at the last minute. She was responsive and provided updates while I was away. I can tell Cambo was well taken care of - I highly recommend her.”


“Jessica went above and beyond as far as communication, pictures, and making sure my pup was comfortable and attended to during her first stay and 4th of July fireworks. I can understand why she is so well rated! No notes :)”

“We normally take our little doggie to Pet Paradise or Petsmart, and she hates it. So, this time decided to try something different with her. We found Maria, by chance, and we couldn't be happier. Maria has got to be one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and she loves her animals. We are so thankful that we found her. And, by the way Deeva loved the stay. We'll be back. Thank you for everything.”

“I needed dog sitter at the very last minute, and Courtney stepped up to the rescue. Both of our girls had a fun day and came home all tuckered out! I’ll definitely call Courtney again!”


“Andrew was very kind and caring. You can tell he loves animals. This was my dogs first time away from home. He made the dogs feel comfortable right away. He also sent photos often to let me know how much fun they were having. I will definitely book him again.”

“First time ever leaving my baby with anyone other than family. I was so anxious but Ashley eased my worry with photos, updates and videos of all the fun he was having. I 100% recommend and will be returning!!”

“Victoriya and James were absolutely amazing with our three special needs kitties, one of whom is epileptic and needs several medications daily at specific times. She provided daily detailed updates with pictures - and took extra special care to make sure our high maintenance cats were eating, healthy, happy, and thriving! We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry about our babies! We wish we could give her more than five stars!!! This is the only place we feel comfortable leaving our kitties. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our pets!!!!”

“Lesly is AMAZING! The moment I booked my reservation she accepted immediately. The entire time I was provided with pictures and updates on everything. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND choosing Lesly and have my permanent dog sitter in the event I need it. Thank you to Lesly and her family for taking care of my fur babies.”

“Having Claudia and Alexis watch our girls while we were away was a great experience. They were very attentive, sent plenty of photos, and we're always responsive to communications whenever we happen to reach out or had any needs. They were accommodating to the logistics that we needed for pickup and drop off, and the girls seemed very happy when they came home. Looked like they had a fantastic time playing, and we will be sure to be back”

“Alexandra was amazing with Jack!!! She sent many photos of him enjoying his time with her and her family!!! She was flexible with adjusting the time!! She even trimmed his nails and gave a bath both were well needed and much appreciated!!! Thank you so much!!! We look forward to Jack's next visit with you!!! You are what makes Rover awesome!!!!”

“Stacey was absolutely amazing and super comforting after our pup exhibited anxious and stressed behavior. She communicated an unfortunate incident with love, care, and understanding. She is a true gem and I am very thankful for her loving heart and her family.”

“I am so grateful to Marcus and his family for caring for my furbaby Bailey! I was sent daily updates and videos while I was away and every time I could see how happy she was and enjoying herself playing. They truly treated her like she was one of their own and she had a blast playing with their babies also. Their home is immaculate, clean and in a very nice gated community. It really set my mind at ease to know she was in good hands when away from home. I even had to extend her stay several days and Marcus was very accommodating. When I picked her up, all of her things were neatly packed up and Bailey was just as clean and healthy as I left her! I will definitely use him in the future!”

“Gisselle was a great dog sitter! She took excellent care of our Lucy, gave her lots of love, and sent regular updates with photos & video so we could see how she was doing. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again. Thank you, Gisselle!”

Thank you so much Natali for all the love & care you shown to Kobe.. I will definitely rebook w/u for sure!! Thank you so much!💕”

My fur babies were well taken care of and loved on by Courtney and Mazy during the Fourth of July weekend. She ensured they were comfortable and certainly indoors during fireworks.

FAQs for Boarding - Porter
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Porter on Rover is $32.1 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 2,374 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Porter. 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.
96% of Porter 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 Porter 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 Porter 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 Porter.
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 Porter 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.
