About: i have always loved dogs.,and have always been around them. I truly believe in the power they have to help provide comfort and protection Especially when they feel loved and cared for I work from home full time with plenty of flexibility for walks and time to be attentive to the needs of my dog or dogs I have a patio , my dog lives to sit and enjoy the sun.I have access to a nice size dog park my dog loves!
“Valarie was amazing with my pup while I was on a short visit in town! My pup, Ellie, loved getting to spend time with her and her kids. Her kids were really gently and caring towards my dog as well which I really appreciated. I would definitely board with Valarie again!”
“Krystal takes such good care of my dog. Communication is great and I can tell Mylo really loves her. She gives him lots of exercise and he looks super happy, he always looks like he’s having a blast with her.”
“Priscilla did an amazing job keeping our two hyper boxers! She kept me updated through out their visit on how they were doing and did whatever she could to make them feel comfortable as they adjusted to a new place! She sent pictures during their visit to us so we could check in on them and they were having so much fun and making themselves right at home! We will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
“Can’t begin to tell you how much we appreciate Julie watching over Bart and Bailey. It’s practically their seconds home judging how they react when we drive up. Today Julie went the extra mile when Mr. BART decided to get himself dirty. Thanks again Julie and we will be in touch soon. 🙂”
“In the past we’ve used kennels when we travel and never felt like our Tilly was happy when we picked her up. We always worried about her while we were away. Not this time. Geneva gave us regular updates with pics and Tilly was happy and like herself when we returned.”
“We left our long hair dachshund with Brenda for a little vacation, and she took excellent care of our girl! Brenda kept us up to date with pictures, and our dog warmed up to Brenda very quickly! We will certainly trust Brenda with our pup in the future!”
“Andrea and Jerry are the best! They sent so many photos and videos of Sophie and I could tell she was having the best time with them! I was able to relax on my vacation and know that my pup was well taken care of :)”
“Lainey was wonderful with my senior dog, Petie. She sent regular updates and photos, and I could tell he was at ease. When I picked him up, he was all smiles. I would highly recommend Lainey to watch anyone’s little love while they are away. Thank you again, Lainey, for taking such good care of my little guy while I was out of town!!”
“Daniella is so kind and did an amazing job talking care of Loki! She is very attentive and gave great updates daily! Will definitely book with her again! I 100% recommend her for any dog boarding needs. She took Loki on a short notice and he had an absolute blast with her!”
“Jacob did a beautiful job with our dog Ripley; he was communicative, stuck to the schedule we provided, and sent us many adorable photos of Ripley during their time together (which helped us miss him a little less!). I think it helps that Jacob himself is so calm, as is his space, that Ripley, who is a bit hyper, was chilled out too. Would heartily recommend Jacob to anyone who needs a safe, reliable, and responsible sitter!”
“Our pups loved Elizabeth! She kept us updated with pictures throughout the day and it gave us peace of mind. Very easy to communicate with! 100% will re-book.”
“This is the 2nd visit for my Annie, can't say enough good things about Erika and Robert and their care. Daily photo updates showing how much fun she was having were much appreciated. Will definitely be back!”
“Great amazing care! I was so anxious and worried about my dogs. In addition this was my first time using Rover. I didn’t hear good stories about rover and really worried for my pups. But Ailen took really great care of them and went above and beyond. Truly, she updated me every day and sent photos daily. Which helped my own separation anxiety from my doggos. We appreciated her being open with communication. Thanks for all the help!”

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!
Lily took such great care of our baby boy. We were traveling out of state and were getting lots of updates and pictures of him throughout his stay. We’re blessed to have found her and cannot thank her enough for allowing us to go on this trip with peace and calmness knowing our Draco was safe and having a great time❤️

The average cost for Pet Boarding in River Oaks on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,765 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in River Oaks. About 91% of River Oaks sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
