“Bo was great. Very quick to respond to texts. Also received daily photos of our pups and received a little holiday gift bag when we picked the dogs up. Definitely recommend Bo’s place and will use again!”
“Martie is great! It’s so nice knowing that my pup is being well taken care of when I’m away. Plus, she gets to run and play with the other dogs so much. Every time I pick her up she sleeps the rest of the day😂”
“Lenny had an amazing time with Margot. He was always happy when I picked him up and dropped him off. Thank you, Margot for being so caring, accommodating and informative. There was not a day that I did not get a note and picture.... And we are so appreciative!!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my 2 small rescue dogs who are very attached to me. But Alicia made me feel very confident with her kindness and love for her own animals. My dogs did fine, she sent me photos of them, and I was able to enjoy my trip away knowing they were in good hands!”
“April is THE best person and pet sitter in the entire world! If you’re feeling nervous like i was to find someone to watch your fur baby, i can assure you that April has a heart of gold when it comes to animals, and she has the patience and kindness for the job :) From the moment we first met, her warm demeanor and genuine love for animals were immediately apparent. My cat Mila had never stayed anywhere outside my home and tends to be wary of strangers, yet she adapted remarkably well under April’s attentive care. Throughout the month, April provided daily updates, including photos and videos, which greatly eased my worries about leaving my Mila behind. April displayed a high level of expertise and compassion, qualities that are truly rare. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“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.”

“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bailey! She sent us daily photo updates where she took her walking, riding and playing with her lovely dogs which completely put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got back, Bailey was happy, calm, and well-exercised. We would book her again in a heartbeat!"”
“I had a great experience with Claudia through Rover! She communicated really well and kept me updated with messages and pictures of my dog, Cecil. I was a little worried leaving him since he’s an older dog, but her experience with senior pets made me feel so much more comfortable. I could tell he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Brittany and Amber were terrific! They are close to BRO, so super convenient for drop offs, and they have enough room to keep visiting dogs separated from theirs (mine were pissy.). Brittany sent pictures and videos consistently and my Walter and Lilo got lots of attention and love. Came home 12 days later to happy puppers! Would use Brittany again in a heartbeat.”
“Amazing sitter. Took in my kitty last minute and cared for her. She was on time, reliable, and sent me picture updates. Kiki was also very happy when I went to pick her up. I will definitely be recommending her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 112 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.
