“Jason and his wife took wonderful care of my 2 pups! It is difficult finding a dog sitter willing to administer insulin for my geriatric pup but they were more than willing!”
“Luka always has a great time staying with Shannon and Lulu, and this time was no exception. He got some extra special attention when a lightning storm rolled through and freaked him out.”
“I’ve taken my pup to Jamie’s a few times now and I have nothing but good things to say! She sends pictures throughout the day of the pups playing or just hanging out. There’s always a few dogs there so it’s like an all day dog park for them!”
“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!”

“William is wonderful!!! He takes excellent care of our Lovie. She’s 14 years old and I’ve never had a sitter as loving and thoughtful as William. I highly recommend everything about working with William. We are so thankful for him and know our sweet Lovie is in the best hands with him. I’d give him 10 stars if I could.”

“Cole was so good with my coco. Coco was able to make herself right at home. Cole even tried to brush Coco’s teeth and cut her nails but my is a bit fussy but fact that she pays that much attention to detail lets me know my baby girl way in good hands. I would totally be using Cole again if she will have us. She is top tier for sitters on this app.”

She cared for my beloved ssenior dog Bonny during which time she took a bad turn and needed extra care beyond the expected which meant the world to me and Bonny. She deeply cares and goes the extra mile. She took many pictures and videos for me to cherish. I cannot recommend Vicky more highly!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richardson
Book it and forget it! This was my first time boarding with Alexis and Sean and I was more than pleased with them. Right off the bat communication was great. They proposed a meet and greet which was a green flag. I knew pretty quickly I wouldn’t have anything to worry about. Great folks, beautiful house, no bs! They have a couple little ones running around to keep your dog occupied. I received daily updates and have no complaints whatsoever! Book with confidence.
Simply amazing! Courtney was very responsive and was great about sending updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pup seemed comfortable, happy, and well cared for when I returned. I really appreciated how attentive and reliable Courtney was and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Rubi was amazing with Zoe! She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, and I loved seeing how much fun Zoe was having with her and Roscko. She was very attentive to Zoe, making sure she ate, drank water, and got plenty of playtime. I felt completely comfortable leaving Zoe with her and would definitely book with Rubi again! ❤️
My dogs absolutely love Jamie! I love that my dogs aren’t trying to rush out of her house when I get there like they use to when I would put them in a boarding facility so that’s a major green flag to me. They play so much at her house that when I get them back they are wiped out for days which is so nice. I’m so thankful I found Jamie and can go on vacation just knowing my dogs are in great hands and very well taken care of.
Penny was absolutely wonderful with my puppies, Bunny and Noelle. They soaked up every bit of the attention she gave them, and it was clear they felt safe, loved, and completely at ease in her care. I especially appreciated how consistently Penny kept me updated on their wellbeing — her messages were reassuring and thoughtful, and I never had to wonder how they were doing. When one of my puppies started feeling sick, Penny contacted me right away. We talked through what was happening, and she worked with me calmly and compassionately to figure out the best plan. Her quick communication and steady presence made a stressful moment so much easier. Because Penny works from home, Bunny and Noelle had constant companionship throughout their stay. They were never left alone, and that made all the difference. Knowing they had someone attentive and kind with them all day gave me tremendous peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Penny is responsible, caring, and truly devoted to the animals she looks after. I’m so grateful for her.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richardson on Rover is $38.85 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 4,405 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.
