“We loved having Shannon watch our baby! She was so kind, sent regular updates, was super flexible when weather could have impacted our travel, and was just the best! We will absolutely use her again!”
“I have boarded my 2 dogs a retriver and a maltese multiple times with Jason and his wife. They are amazing. This trip I was out for 14 days and they truly made sure both of my boys got the best care.”
“Matt and Tiffany took SUCH great care of my boy! Tiffany kept me updated daily with pictures and texts - plus she took Vibo on a run every morning which he loved. Their home is beautiful, they have awesome dogs that Vibo loved playing with, an inground pool I'm sure he loved, and he came back happy as can be. Will absolutely book with them again, thanks y'all!”
“Jamie was wonderful with my 2 dogs! One of my guys has a medical condition and needs some special care. Jamie was very open to caring for his needs which were a little "extra." I will definitely be using Jamie again for my pet sitting needs!”
“Dori and her family took such good care of my girls. They welcome them into their home and integrated them with their dogs perfectly. They sent me just the right amount of messages and pictures during my trip so I could know that everything was going well and not worry. I definitely recommend them. Five star review well earned!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Cole take care of my two beloved pets, Stella and Sabrina, while I was away on vacation. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention that they received during their stay. From the moment I dropped them off, I could tell that the sitter was not only experienced, but genuinely cared about their well-being. She took the time to get to know both of my dogs, their personalities, and their specific needs. She even asked me about their routines, favorite toys, and any specific instructions I had for their care. Throughout their stay, I received regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell that they were having a great time, and were well taken care of. They even went on daily walks and had playtime, which made me happy to know they were getting exercise and fresh air. When I picked them up, they were happy and healthy, and I could tell that they had been well-loved and cared for. Overall, I would highly recommend Cole to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends. She truly went above and beyond, and I could not have been happier with her service. Thank you for taking such great care of Stella and Sabrina!”
“I cannot recommend Stella and her daughter enough! We live two hours away, but after seeing the care and professionalism they provided for our two dogs, I won't go anywhere else. My dogs absolutely loved them. We are already planning to bring them back for our next trip!”
“Annie did an amazing job taking care of my dog! I really appreciated the daily photo updates and how communicative she was throughout—it was so comforting to see how happy and well cared for my pup was. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“I could not recommend Fernanda & Matthew enough!! They were incredibly patient and loving to our sweet Ralphie, who we adopted only 2 months ago. Ralphie didn't really want to come home with us which is a great sign that he felt safe and very loved by this incredible family!”
“What impresses me most is that I have two very different types of dogs, and Stephanie has the skills and flexibility to handle them both. Clarity is an elderly, fragile little lap dog who needs a lot of sensitive care and attention. Stephanie listened carefully to her needs and provided her exceptional care. The other dog, Bubba, is tough, strong, highly independent, energetic, and intense, with a prey drive; he loves to play with toys and run fast. Stephanie regularly sent me photos and updates of the fun times he was having in the yard—for example, or of Clarity getting comfy in various spots in her home. Also, I appreciated that on short notice, Stephanie came right over and picked up my dogs. She also dropped them off for me, too, as I requested, so they’d be here to greet me when I arrived home. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Laurie took very good care of our dog, she kept us updated every day and she went above and beyond to keep our dog's anxiety in check. She also made sure our dog ate every day, as he's very shy when not at home. Highly recommend Laurie. Thank you.”
“Jocelyn was hands down the best Rover experience I’ve ever had. From the moment I met her, I could immediately feel the warmth and care she would provide for my dog. She sent daily pictures and activity updates, and the level of attention and love she gave him went far above and beyond. My dog came home so happy — I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“We love Vicki! Our dog Milly has stayed with her multiple times now and she’s incredibly attentive, responsive, and Milly feels right at home when we drop her off. She sends daily updates and photos and treats milly as her own. She’s our go-to when we need a sitter!”
“She was so flexible with schedule, and it made everything work out In the end. So thankful our dog got to be with her for the week. She took great care of him, and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Ashley took such great care of Oliver while we were away! He’s an anxious guy and she and her dogs made him as comfortable as possible for the week. Thank you!!”
“Luong provided daily updates without even asking for them! He took great care of Batman & Robin. We can tell they had a good time with him. He even sent them back off to us with some new toys he bought for them which was so nice of him. We will definitely book with him again if he’s available! Highly recommend him and his home.”
“Cayla was so great! She kept me updated and my pup was always very happy in pics. Cayla was always responsive and was very accommodating to my schedule changes! I will be booking with her again!”

This was Chuba’s third stay with Matthew, and he took great care of him as always. I’m so happy I found such a reliable sitter nearby, it makes everything so convenient. I’ll definitely continue booking with Matthew in the future. I even had flight delays, and he was incredibly flexible and accommodating with my late pickup. Highly recommend!
Fantastic! Olaitan took wonderful care of my dog, Harper, She is so sweet and kind. My pup can be a handful when it comes to walking an Ola took her out for walks frequently. I could tell when I returned that she was happy and well fed. I highly recommend Olaitan for your pet caregiver as I felt completely comfortable leaving Harper in her care.
Lyn and Lenny are the real deal. They genuinely love our big guy. Leaving a fur baby is always hard but knowing that Ranger is loved on and cared for just like he is when he is with us is a huge weight off our shoulders. I am so grateful Rover connected us. Lyn and Lenny will be the first people I reach out to for future trips!
Erin was absolutely amazing for my dog Piper. She sent so many pictures and videos without even having to ask for them! She took such great care of Piper, who can be a silly dog sometimes! She made sure Piper was fed and taken out in a timely manner and even took Piper on some adventures! We absolutely loved Erin and will be using her again in the future without a doubt!!
We love Vicki! Our dog Milly has stayed with her multiple times now and she’s incredibly attentive, responsive, and Milly feels right at home when we drop her off. She sends daily updates and photos and treats milly as her own. She’s our go-to when we need a sitter!
Sophia and Andrew are the best! They took care of our pups like they were theirs and sent pictures daily. I just can’t say enough positive things about these two. Plus their pup, Lola, wasvery welcoming to my two little… providing an additional playmate for their visit.
She took great care of my dog, she asked me if there were special instructions and there was. Macaya even let me know that there was more than one dog that she was taking care. I did drop off my dog Denise with her and I asked kindly to drop my dog off back at my apartment. To which to kindly did she would.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richardson 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 4,424 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Richardson. 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.
95% of Richardson 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 Richardson 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 Richardson 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 Richardson.
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 Richardson 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.
