“Victor is awesome. She goes out of her way to make my fur babies loved and welcomed. This was my second time and I have already scheduled her again. Highly recommend her.”
“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!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with multiple dogs, one of which I took care of myself once I was older. I had dog sat for friends and even teachers before. I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.
“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!”
“Geneva was a great sitter she has a calmness about her. She had the ability to comand control with a quiet spirit. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Geneva.”
“shanna is absolutely amazing! she was so kind when we did our first meet and greet, she treats/loves your dogs as if they were her own. she sends you updates during your dogs’ stay, and provides reassurance when needed. i’ve never used rover until now, and picking shanna as our sitter was definitely the best choice when it came to finding someone suitable to take care of my babies. definitely will come to her again when i need someone to take care of the pups. :)”
“Julie was amazing and my three pups couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. I was a bit hesitant at first because I do have three very excitable dogs and they can sometimes even come off as annoying. Julie had no issue with them and welcomed them like they were her own! She sent constant pictures and updates, so even while we were away we felt at ease. We highly recommend her services and plan on rebooking with her. 💕”
“Alex is so very dependable. He takes my dogs for long walks, takes them to the park and sends lots of pictures and it's clear that they are happy when they stay with Alex. I am a repeat customer and I highly recommend Alex.”
“Ernest was incredible! He was boarding a lot of dogs during the holiday week when our 2 pups were there, but he was very organized, communicative, and made sure the dogs got lots of attention. We received updates throughout the stay, and he was always very responsive. He was very flexible in accommodating our dropoff and pickup, even though it was so early in the morning. Our dogs came home happy and healthy, I'm sure they would love to stay with Ernest again. Finally, Ernest really went above and beyond to help us on during our travels. He even gave us a ride to the airport and helped put in air my flat tire when we got home. I believe that dogs can tell when someone is a good person, and they respond to that -- and Ernest is a great person!”
“Carolyn is fabulous! She takes wonderful care of our girl when we travel. Carolyn has lots of fun with our pup, communication is great and she really does love the animals she cares for. Highly recommend using Carolyn!”
“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 :)”
“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!!”
“I am So grateful that I was able to book with Isha to watch my nova! I had a last minute trip come up and she was so accommodating. She treated nova like she was her own and gave her lots of love, cuddles and sniffing safaris lol . I will definitely be rebooking”
“Krystal was great! We were visiting from out of town and wanted a chill place for our pup for a few days! Sweet Dee enjoyed her stay and had lots of fun with Krystal and her pup. We will definitely use Krystal again when visiting the area!”
“This is our 3rd time booking with Arellys and it has always been a positive experience. Our dog has a great time and Arellys takes good care of her. This time we had a last minute change and needed to extend the booking by 1 more day which Arellys graciously accommodated. She’s always quick to respond and keeps me updated with how my dog is doing during the stay. We will definitely be using Arellys in the future and highly recommend her!”
“I contacted Megan VERY last minute after the original arrangement didn’t work. The original home we selected, the initial meet my CoCo was very anxious and wasn’t comfortable at all (she even growled at the male that lived in the home). I immediately knew I couldn’t leave her there, so I contacted Megan and she was very responsive and told me to bring her right over. As soon as she opened the door, my dog went right up to her a licked her hand. And was relaxed and comfortable in her home. While I was gone, I received videos and pictures frequently. My CoCo loved being with Megan and her daughter. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“We are delighted with the care Ericka and Robert provided for the 4 days our dog stayed with them. We received updates daily, including photos/videos. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed playing with the other dogs and was extremely happy during her stay! Thank you again! 5 stars!”
“Daniella was incredibly kind and accommodating, especially on short notice. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated with check-ins and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Oaks
Lyndsey was absolutely amazing with my 4-month-old puppy! As a puppy mom, I was nervous about leaving him, but she made the entire experience stress-free. She sent adorable photos and updates throughout the day, which meant so much and helped me know he was happy and in great hands. Her home was clean, calm, and free of other dogs, which was exactly what I was looking for. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would happily book with her again!
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❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
