“Nick and Ashley were great taking care of our dog. I think he loved having a dog about his size to play with. They sent pictures so we knew he was safe and happy. We would definitely love to leave him with them again. We 100% recommend leaving your dog here.”
“Selena was awesome! I have had my goldendoodle at her place twice so far. Once over the long Thanksgiving break and once with a really short notice over the weekend. Both times, she’s been amazing. She responds to texts and calls. Provides updates, sends videos and photos. Thank you Selena!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and couldn’t have picked a better person to watch our almost 2 year old pup. I am crazy about my dog and was hesitant to even do Rover but I am so happy we did. Monica offered to meet us before we committed which I really appreciated. She was great at staying in touch, giving updates, and sending pictures. We could tell our dog was very well cared for while we were out of town. She even gave our girl a goodie bag with treats when we picked her up. Highly recommend and trust Monica! Coco can’t wait for us to leave town again :)”

Thank you, Sarah, for letting Baxter join your family for a few days. The photos and updates were cherished and we knew that Baxter was safe and sound. Also thanks for your flexibility with my changing flight status and generally complicated day. See you again in 10 days!
Stella had an amazing stay!! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. Stella immediately made a new best friend, Millie. Loved they were able to play with each other throughout her stay! Rileigh and Jackson clearly adored Stella and made her feel comfortable and safe. They sent updates and photos, and Stella looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m very grateful and will absolutely book again!!
We absolutely love LaRae! This is our third time trusting her with Winston, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares for him and treats him like family. She always keeps us updated, and it’s clear Winston is happy and cared for! We are so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our sweet boy!
Booked with Danielle and did not regret it. This is the first time we have left our little fur baby with someone since he was born. Danielle took very good care of our boy and treated him lile part of the family. He was taken for walks and had play and cuddle time every day. The communication and daily photos with updates definately put our minds at ease and was instrumental in the two of us actually getting to enjoy a trip away without having to worry. She treated our little guy with the love and attention as if we were there with him and that was priceless. Knowing we can spend time away and our fur baby is loved and cherished while we are gone is everything when you want to try to enjoy your own time away. I can't speak any more highly of the services Danielle gave or the freedom she has given us to enjoy ourselves knowing our little guy is in good hands. Do not sleep on this girl! She embodies the love you would want your little one to be surrounded by. We are so grateful. A must hire!
I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I reached out to her in a bit of a panic needing last-minute care for my dog Willow, and she said yes without hesitation. That alone was a huge relief, but what really stood out was how she kept me in the loop the entire time — regular updates, photos, the works. You could just tell Willow was comfortable and genuinely well looked after, not just tolerated. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your pup and won’t leave you anxiously checking your phone all day, Olivia is your person. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
OBESSEDDDD. Scooty Booty had the best time staying with Sierra and Liam! They were so responsive and their property is every dogs dream. They sent videos and pictures often and are so nice in person as well. I actually feel a little guilty for sending my dog to a kennel all this time when he could've been enjoying a big back yard and some 24/7 TLC this whole time!!!
Jayline was incredible! She took such good care of my dog Winston and sent lots of updates with pictures/videos that were very appreciated. She was very flexible with pickup times and even accompanied a late pick up. She put up with my dogs tummy issues and gave him medicine. We will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in River Oaks on Rover is $43.87 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 2,650 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across River Oaks. 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.
97% of River Oaks 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 River Oaks 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 River Oaks 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 River Oaks.
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 River Oaks 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.
