“Shannon is a fantastic dog sitter! Togo is high-energy and gets overexcited easily, but Shannon handled him with so much patience. She stayed in constant contact throughout the stay and Togo came home happy. We will definitely be booking with her again!"”
“This was awesome. Both of our little guys were treated like family by Jamie!! Both dogs are older and it is hard on them to be away. We could tell when we picked them up that they were happy and relaxed. We will be back again and could not be more pleased. Thank you for taking care of Rosie and Jerry.”
“Matt and Tiffany were awesome! I get nervous leaving my pup, especially with new people. But it was obvious that they treated her like family and sent lots of updates. I was completely comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely board with them again!”
“Jason was great. He responds quickly and sends pictures every day. Jax had a great time with him and made new friends. Thank you Jason for watching our furbaby.”
“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.”
“Stephanie is really a wonderful pet sitter. She cared for my two toy poodles for 12 days, and both dogs had a great time. She kept me up to date on how they were doing every day. She kept them busy with time outside in her fenced yard plus play time inside. I never worried, and they were in perfect condition when I picked them up. I recommend Stephanie very highly.”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better host. They took great care of my two babies, gave me lots of updates, and made sure they had plenty of quality playtime and walks. They even took the time to learn their traits and routines so my pups felt right at home. Highly recommend — truly a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Maxine was great!!! I left my dog knowing he was going to be well cared for. I will certainly use Maxine again and again. Priceless knowing your fur baby is being treated well!”
“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.”
“This was the best stay my puppies have EVER had. They were so happy, but still happy to see me. They were cared for beautifully, and that is a job! And they got so much love and attention. I can't thank Taylor and Dave and Fin (and Trudy) enough.”
“Elizabeth was great! She listened carefully to my fur baby’s needles and also the other dogs that boarded with my dog. I was very comfortable and ease of mind knowing my dog was with Elizabeth.”
“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.”
“Lu watched our golden retriever for 8 nights. She sent countless photos and updates of Lox, who looked so happy! Even with other dogs present she handled managing personalities so well. Loxie 🦮 was treated like she lived there, sleeping in the bed with Lu or up on the couch if she wanted, so spoiled and had such a great time. Lu is amazing at letting the dogs in and out of her house and managing feeding several dogs separately. She truly cares about dogs and is passionate for what she does, I could not recommend her more to watch your furry friend. She was fantastic and we hope to use her again soon, she is so friendly and great with dogs and their owners. I would give six stars if I could!”
“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.”
“Benji and Stella had a wonderful time staying with Eva! I felt very comfortable leaving them with her and knew they would be well cared for - and they definitely were! I would recommend them for sure!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Traci love the dogs in her care like they were her own. She gives lots of updates including pictures and videos throughout their stay and even works on some commands with them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richardson
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.
Hollie and Brian are truly the best. We’ve booked with them 3-4 times now and have had consistent wonderful experiences. They share updates daily with multiple photos and are so sweet hearted and accommodating when it comes to our schedule and needs. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
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.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richardson on Rover is $37.45 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 4,377 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.
