“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!”
“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!”
“Matt &Tiffany did a fantastic job taking care of my dog Skylar I received pictures everyday and messages about how her stay was going. I could not have asked for a more caring family, true dog lovers! Highly recommend this family and will definitely use them again.”
“Fernanda and Matthew were great with my dog! I love that they walked and played with him. They were quick to respond and sent daily photos. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a dog sitter!! :)”
“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!”
“Jamie was amazing with my dog Hershey! She provided consistent and very timely updates multiple times a day. She made sure that he felt super comfortable and she took great care of him even though I know he can be a handful sometime. Recommend 10/10!”
“We are so blessed to have found Mark for our puppy's home away from home! Juniper was welcomed into their family and made wonderful friends. He sent lots of great pics and videos of her enjoying their time together. We could not have asked for a more... 1000 ⭐️s”
“I absolutely love Olaitan and the attention and care she gave to my child Dillion. She kept in constant communication with me before and during sitting. My baby actually ate while I was gone which sometimes he will not do when leaving with a sitter. I will definitely book her again.”
“Stella was great for Riley. In fact he is probably upset we picked him up as he got to go to dog park daily. Stella was accommodating as our flight got delayed and Riley had to spend an additional night. Will definitely see if Stella is available for the next time Riley needs cared for”
“William was great. Updated us on our boys, when we went to pick them up they did not want to leave. Makes us believe he treated them great and they enjoyed their visit.”
“This was my first time I used Rover. I had to go out of town for a few days. Prior to leaving my Dog Dusty with Min, I took him over so she could meet him. When I first met Min, she was warm and friendly. When I was leaving, she immediately got acquainted with my dog and took him outside and walked him. I felt comfortable and knew my dog would be in good hands. While I was away, Min kept me informed several times a day about his eating and potty time. She gave him his medication daily and sent me Videos of Dusty playing with other dogs. Min did a great job caring for my dog. I will definitely be using her services in the near future!”
“Cole was great with George. He immediately felt comfortable from the start. She was very responsive throughout his stay and kept me updated with pictures and a video which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Cole!”
“We couldn’t be happier. Maxine is everything we’ve hoped for in a dog-sitter. She gives our dog so much love, care, and attention! And she’s a delightful person to work with!!!”
“Amalia was a great sitter for Harry! She understands geriatric, quirky dogs very well. She also kept us updated at least twice a day with videos of walks and cute pictures of Harry relaxing. And when Harry was experiencing some allergies, she let us know right away. When we picked up Harry, he looked like he didn't want to leave, so that's a pet sitter success story! We will definitely use her again when we go out of town.”
“She has been wonderful taking care of my chunky boy. Hands down so sweet and communicative with me at all times. This was my first time booking with Rover and she made the process so easy. Definitely if I ever need her again in the future will come back.”
“Taylor and David (and their family) did a great job with Zeus. They gave him his space and he was in a great mood when we picked him up. Highly recommend Taylor and David!”
“Dawn was amazing w Sadie. She was happy the whole time she was there. Dawn was very accommodating with my schedule changes which were many due to the fact that I got sick and needed to delay my trip, bcs I couldn’t be around my sister whose immunity was down from a stem cell transplant. While I was there caring for her, I wanted to pick Sadie up on nights my sister was doing well and keep her overnight. Then when the worst part of the transplant caused her to go thru some very difficult symptoms and I needed to stay extra time, Dawn graciously kept her two more days, even tho she had out of town company. Granted her grandson made Sadie very happy and Sadie did the same for him! It was a relief to see she was having such a great time in the videos she shared bcs my dog really knows how to turn the guilt trip on me. I highly recommend Dawn! She will be very loving toward your pet!”

Kristen was fantastic with Nova, especially for her first stay! She was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and welcoming from the start. I really appreciated the lovely updates and could tell Nova was comfortable and well cared for in her warm, welcoming home. I would absolutely recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a great sitter!
Jen, Austin, and their family were absolutely fantastic! They watched Laffy for a day over Labor Day weekend and took such great care of him. I really appreciated their communication style; the updates they provided had a very natural and caring rhythm to them. I highly recommend them to anyone who has a dog that is good with kids. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Laffy!
Danielle was wonderful with my dog Pogo! She hosted him for 3 days and 2 nights and took such great care of him. She sent regular updates with pics and videos, which I really appreciated. Pogo came back happy and relaxed. Would highly recommend her and would definitely book again!
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.

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.
