“We were so pleased with Jason! He sent us pictures of our dog who looked very happy and loved while he was boarded. His home and backyard are clean and a great set up for dogs. We will definitely use Jason again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Jamie was so adaptable to our schedule and was great with our Boston Terrier! We come into town to visit my Mother in law who is going through medical treatment and its so easy to drop our pup off at Jamie's house. She always sends little pictures and updates throughout the day! Looking forward to this being a great solution for us, cant wait to book her again”
“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!”
“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!”
“Fernanda and Matthew are the BEST! Sent pictures of Dora and constant updates. Had an obvious love for dogs and was a vacation for our dog instead of us being worried if she was happy or not!”
“Our pup seemed to have a lot of fun. Taylor and David were able to handle his high energy, and were open to a meet and greet beforehand. Great first Rover experience.”
“William was awesome. He sent us pictures and videos while we were out of town! Our dog was so comfortable you can tell he was well taken care of. I will be using him in the future!”
“Maxine did a wonderful job looking after our puppy while we were away on vacation. We were nervous about leaving him for the first time but Maxine was great about sending updates and pictures. I would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“It was truly amazing experience with Amalia. I have trust issues when it comes to my fur baby and I felt so relaxed when I left my GSD Ella with her. She and her family was so welcoming of Ella and Ella came back home relaxed which is rare. She sent us plenty videos and pics without even requesting which is a big plus for me as no matter where I am, I want to see how Ella is doing. I am going back and feel so thankful that I found her for my fur baby.”
“This entire experience was fantastic. Eva was super accommodating to my dog Jack and sent me multiple pictures pictures daily to show me that Jack was having fun and doing well. She was immediately responsive. Her home is very well kept, very clean and with tons of open space. Her children are very well mannered and in the pre-adolescent phase of life and obviously love animals too. I felt like Jack was very well loved in her home. Also, Jack came back to me very calm and worn out (which means he was playing and having a blast the entire time!) and he is more respectful about getting on furniture after staying at Eva's home. Not sure if she did any training with him but he seems to have matured a bit!”
“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!”
“We love Cayla! Kingsley gets along so well with her pup Reece & the trust I have in her ability to care for Kingsley while away is unmatched! Thanks again for watching him!”
“Jessie has hip dysplasia, so she needs bit extra TLC and so we were looking for the sitter who has good experience on this, Matt was awesome taking care of Jessie and he was very kind enough to understand her requirements. We will certainly use his service again. Thank You Matt for taking care of our Jessie !”
“My fur baby had an amazing weekend. Pictures showed how happy and comfortable she was with Ashley and her 2 dogs. I think Belle felt like she was with family!!! Thank you ❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richardson
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.
We’re hesitant to write the glowing review Mike and Sarah deserve because we don’t want them to start getting all booked up, so we can’t have them look after our pups whenever we need them to. They’re by far the best Rover boarders we’ve found, and we’ve tried quite a few over the years. Their house is clean and inviting. Their own dog, Archie, is loving and playful and provided a great play companion to the more active of our two dogs. And Mike and Sarah are caring and loving people who cared for our pets like they were their own. Great, timely communication with lots of pictures while we were out of town. We felt totally at ease leaving Wyatt and PK in their care. 💯% would and will turn to them again for boarding in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
