“Great service and excellent communication. She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really reassured me that the dogs were having fun and well taken care of. Highly recommend! Will book again.”
“Nikko had a very happy stay at Mrs svetlana ‘s house . Well taken care by her and her husband . We are very happy and hope we can use their help in our next vacation .”
“Annette was an absolute lifesaver, and we feel so fortunate to have found her! She cared for our dog, Milo, for almost two weeks, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. She followed his feeding schedule perfectly and clearly took his routine and well-being seriously. We especially appreciated the thoughtful, consistent updates while we were away. Twice a day, Annette sent wonderful photos and videos of Milo, giving us peace of mind and letting us relax knowing he was happy and well cared for. Annette is reliable, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving toward animals. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Milo and wholeheartedly recommend booking her. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“I loved Mrs. Barbara. She's very caring and quickly understood that our dog is a tough cookie with her barking and nipping. Our dog was very happy and returned in great shape. I will definitely go back to her in the future.”
“We weren’t sure how to feel leaving our kitten with a stranger, but Arienne assured us he was in good hands. She took such good care of him and sent us updates each day. He seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her girls. We will definitely consider her again when we need to board Plinko!”
“She did an awesome job watching my dog! She kept me updated the whole time, which gave me peace of mind, and she made my dog feel right at home. My dog absolutely loved her dog, and it was clear they had a great time together. I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch my dog again!”
“Deanna was great! Easy to work with and my dog and cat were well taken care of! Also very flexible with timing and willing to work with me even though it was short notice. Great experience overall!”
“Josh and family were GREAT for our pup Clover. It is clear that Josh does this because he loves dogs. He sent lots of updates, photos, and videos to put our minds at ease while we were away from Clover and made sure that Clover’s play needs were met by taking her out to walk and play fetch. If we return to the area we will definitely use Josh again!”
“London was great! Georgie came home happy and relaxed after a 9-day stay while I was traveling. I got daily updates and felt reassured the entire time that Georgie was in good hands.”
“I am so happy that I chose Alexis and her baby girl to watch my dog. The second I met them I knew that my pup would be in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures through our her stay and treated my fur baby like family. I will definitely book with them again!! Thank you again for being so good to Kali! Y’all are amazing!”
About: *I do NOT have cats. Rover won't let me change that. Anyways, I have taken care of a wide variety of animals throughout my life. I've never lived without at least 3 pets minimum in my home. I've have rodents, reptiles, birds, canines, and felines. My love for animals runs deep. I've fed, washed, and cared for every one. This includes big dogs, medium dogs, small dogs. Short hair, long hair, thick kinky fur. Long haired cats and short haired cats. Snakes and lizards, parakeets, mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, Guinea pigs, ferrets. I've loved every single baby that has crossed my path and would love to love yours too. I am a full time 100% online college student. I do have a job outside of River, but it also has flexible hours so my schedule is usually very open. I have lots of time for your pet. I have a fenced yard with a very sweet dog in my home as well as 2 cages of parakeets and 2 tanks with reptiles. I can crate up to a medium sized dog if needed. If it is your home, I will follow any instruction you give me with no issue. If your pet has more needs than others, with your instruction I can accommodate.
“Wendi did a great job with my dog. This was my first time using a service and everything went very smoothly. Wendi sent pictures every day and a couple videos as well as text updates. It was obvious my dog was having a great time. I was even concerned he wouldn't want to come home. To top it all off she, after checking with me to see if it was OK, gave my dog a bath before I picked him up. I would absolutely recommend Wendi.”
About: I grew up with animals my entire life, and have always watched neighbors and family's pets throughout the years. From puppies and kittens, to senior dogs and cats, the joy and love they bring is priceless. I enjoy walking dogs and working on basic commands, playing their favorite games, and of course some back scratches and belly rubs if needed! Can bathe, give medicines as necessary. I have a flexible schedule as a realtor with my associates help, and can make appointments around pet's schedules. I'm flexible weekdays and weekends for the most part. I have a large fenced backyard and a big dog who loves to play with dogs of all sizes. My year old cat loves to play with my dog and could be separated if need be. Can kennel visiting dog if preferred.
“5 Stars! I truly appreciate how well you cared for my dog. The updates, photos, and patience meant a lot, and Sam looked so happy and comfortable with you. Thank you for treating him like your own I’ll definitely book with you again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 407 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Richards. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Richards can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Richards 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 Richards.
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 Richards 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.
