“Emily and her family are a dream come true. I was very nervous about leaving our 1 yo with someone while we went on vacation (first vacation since adopting her!) and Emily was amazing with her and us parents! She sent pictures every day and messaged how she slept. Our dog got a little home sick 🤢 and Emily immediately messaged us and even made her white rice. The next day she was running and jumping and herself again. I’m so happy we found Emily and will absolutely leave our dog with her again!! Thank you Emily! We are so thankful we found you!!”
“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!!”
“Absolutely amazing. This is the first sitter I’ve had where my dog came back fully exhausted. Huge backyard that my dog took full advantage of. Pictures were sent every day and multiple times a day. They will be my go to sitters from here on out.”
“Loved Maria’s dog boarding services! She was so sweet and kind, updated me when asked, took very good care of my babies. She spoiled them, I can tell! She is a dog lover so she is naturally a very good doggy care taker. Thank you so much Maria! Looking forward to our next visit. My babies loved you! 🐾🐾”
“Wendy is super nice. Her house is super clean and smells good. Her dog Coco and my dog Fred are best friends now. Fred seemed happy and calm when I picked him up after a week stay. I recommend.”
“Alexandra was amazing with our two dogs, Abby and Bear, during their 6-night stay with her! She sent daily pictures and updates and stayed in communication with us the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. Abby and Bear were well cared for and came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Natasha and Jason are the BEST!!! We had to book last minute, the night before our vacation and they were so quick to respond. We got pictures/videos and updates daily of our Wookie and we could tell he was so loved abc cared for! My mind was definitely at ease with our puppy being with them. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“Courtney was god sent! With our late booking, I was super nervous about dropping our pup off with someone new (especially with his separation-anxiety). Courtney took him in with open arms, listened to all my worries and requests, and went above and beyond. She sent multiple pictures and videos, always woke up in the morning with an update, she truly made leaving our baby easier than I thought it could ever be. Thank you again and we will see you soon!”
“Michelle and Jeremy are very friendly. Kane became attached to both and had a blast playing with Brewly. This was our first time using Rover. They sent pics and updates daily. Will call on Michelle and Jeremy anytime we need a sitter.”
“A wonderful, kind, and caring lady. She was very communicative and even sent pictures of my dog while we were gone. She has a lovely home for a dog and backyard for them to play in.”
“Lori and her family are always so kind and accommodating. As we pulled up to Lori’s house Harley was so excited she ran right up to the house with no hesitation. Makes me happy to know I am leaving my Pup with people with whom she feels comfortable. Thank you Lori!!”
“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”
“Such a great experience throughout the entire boarding. Gaby sent me updates, photos, and was quick to respond. She treated coco like her own which put me at ease. I’ve never felt so comfortable with anyone watching my dog until now. I’m usually told she won’t even eat which makes me so nervous, but she was eating, playing, and not at all shy like she has been every time anyone else has watched her. What’s important to me is the attention coco needs because she’s my shadow at home. Gaby said she went everywhere with her, sat with her, and slept with her; which is the same routine I’m used to and it’s hard to ask another person to give your dog so much of their time to cater to my diva lol Will highly recommend and truly believe she will make you feel at ease booking with her. (:”
“Marcus was great! Pongo seemed very comfortable with him and his pups. Marcus is very quick to respond with updates and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving Pongo with him. I will definitely use Marcus anytime we go on vacation!”
“Ashley is always super communicative and helpful when I need to board my dogs. My high energy pups always come home tired from a full day of play and snuggles. I get plants of pics and updates and a full overview of their habits when I come to pick them up. I highly recommend Ashley for any pet sitting needs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Porter
Alyssa was an amazing sitter for our GSD puppy, Senna! We were super upfront with her about Senna being sick and Alyssa did such a great job making her feel comfortable and loved with lots of play time. We had a few medications Senna needed and Alyssa was able to give them to her with meals with no issues. Communication while we were out of the country was super easy too and Alyssa was proactive in giving us updates throughout the week. It really put us as ease. We have full trust in Alyssa to have her care for Senna the next time we need it. Thank you so much Alyssa and Chandler for watching our sweet girl!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Porter on Rover is $32.14 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 2,349 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.
