“THEY WERE SO AMAZING. Sent lot's of updates, photos, and videos. Even accommodated the fact that my flight was delayed causing me to miss my connection and was stuck in ATL overnight. Their dog is so playful and friendly which made my dog have the time of his life. They took amazing care of my dog and provided him with all his vitamins and any of his special needs were well monitored.”
“Amazing with high-energy dogs! Our dog has endless energy and can sometimes be a handful, but Grace handled him like an absolute pro. She gave him plenty of exercise. Super communicative and professional. Thank you so much!☺️ highly recommend booking with her!!”
“Margot took very good care of Kobe. Communication was great as she sent me cute pictures of him while in her care. I've already booked his next stay with Margot. Highly recommend.”
“Great sitter for my pet. Bo was constantly updating me by sending messages and pictures, and my pet loved it as he got to play and interact with his dogs. Overall I definitely recommend Bo as being your choice to trust your pets with.”
“Roxie had an amazing time!! Although, the weather wasn’t too cooperative, she enjoyed cuddling at home with Elaine’s family indoors. She went out for her routinely potty times, and selfies throughout her stay. Roxie can’t wait to return!!! Thank you so much!! :)”
“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rio Hondo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rio Hondo. 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.
100% of Rio Hondo 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 Rio Hondo 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 Rio Hondo 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 Rio Hondo.
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 Rio Hondo 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.
