“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.”
“Michelle and Jeremiah made me feel that Carter was safe and happy staying there. Communication was great. Pictures or video was sent every day. Any questions or concerns they had were sent by text. Carter seemed well cared for. They were accommodating to his refrigerated food. Would definitely use again.”
“Lori is a phenomenal host and took exceptional care of my Thor while his buddy Zeus was being neutered! Thor was very comfortable and enjoyed his stay! I knew from the moment that I met Lori, Thor and I felt the warmth and love immediately! I highly recommend Lori and will look forward to my pets staying with Lori for any boarding needs!”
“Courtney was amazing. She accomodated our drop and pick up times and took great care of our dog! When I picked her up she was happy! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Alexandra was amazing! Great communication before, during and after our pups stay. She sent pictures, sent updates and pampered our little girl. Will absolutely use her again when we need a sitter for our fur baby in the future.”
“Very responsive and sent lots of pictures. My flight waa delayed and put me getting in very late but she was willing to work with me to have my dog stay another night. Plenty of space for the dog to run around. Definitely reccomend.”
“Ashley was kind enough to work with me to prepare Moxie for an extended stay by scheduling playtimes for him to get used to her family, pets, house, and yard. Once we were out of the country, she sent us daily pictures and occasional videos to show that Moxie was being cared for as if he was her own. We were so relieved that we found the perfect family to leave our dog with. I highly recommend her to anyone needing care for a small dog!”
“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”
“Andrew sent us regular updates of our pups throughout their 6 night stay which eased our mind and reassured us they were having a great time! You can tell he really treats your pets as his own. Overall a wonderful experience and we will absolutely be using him again for any pet sitting needs!”
“Victoriya and James gave my Candle a sweet home away from home. Victoriya sent pictures and updates and made everything convenient for my drop off and pick up time. Candle was happy and well taken care of! I will be requesting boarding with you two again. Thank you”
“I highly recommend María Carmen's care because my dogs were not stressed or sad when I picked them up, I received constant feedback during their stay where I could see that they were well cared for, walked and even bathed when they needed it. something very important in my case is that María Carmen is bilingual and she was able to assist me in Spanish and English.”
“Wendy was THE absolute best!! She was very kind and accommodating!! I had complications happen with my move and at the last minute, she didn’t hesitate to keep my babies an extra day!! I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Wendy!! And, while I don’t often have a need, any time I do, she’s who I will go to 💕”
“Marcus was very quick with communication and also reassured me with updates/videos of my pup everyday. This was my pup’s first time being away for 3+ days and I feel he was nicely taken care of. I will definitely reach out to Marcus again in the future regarding any sitting needs. I would recommend Marcus to look after your pet with no hesitation!”
“This family is amazing! They played, cuddled, and looked like they had so much fun with our baby, Tilly. I was worried as she is a puppy, but every photo and video showed all of them having fun with our baby. Thank you so much! I highly recommend and will use them again.”
“Lesly did a great job from start to finish. Although our beautiful dog has some anxiety, it was clear that Lesly's loving and patient engagement with him resulted in a very successful and calming stay.”
“Boomer has separation anxiety so Kaitlynn kept me informed with his progress and sent pictures to show me how he was doing. I appreciated her patience with him. Highly recommend.”
“Angelita was sooooo good toward our Lola girl. Lola came home happy and relaxed! Angelita gave us updates with pictures and was super responsive. Easy to communicate with. And the most precious lady! We all fell in love with her. ♥️ We would 💯 percent choose Angelita again!”
“We used to take our pup to a kennel, but were looking for a more comfortable and home-like environment. Kolleen was amazing! We felt completely at ease and reassured by the daily photos and updates. Very pleased with this experience.”

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!!
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. Grateful for such great communication and pictures shared of our pets when away. We will certainly book her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Porter on Rover is $32.1 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 2,349 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.
