“Alex was wonderful in taking care of our Ruby! Despite many cancelations and delays of our flight, Alex was super accommodating in taking care of our dog for an extra day! He constantly kept in touch with us and sent us pictures of her regularly. I would highly recommend Alex to take care of your fur babies!”
“Geneva took such good care of my very active corgi! Lots of play time and updates as needed- thanks for the awesome communication. I was hesitant to leave him anywhere because we always use the same sitter. When they moved, I was sad we’d never find anyone as good but Geneva exceeded expectations! Thanks so much!!”
“Ernest was great! We were very comfortable leaving our dog with him although he has severe separation anxiety. Ernest kept us updated and sent photos when he could. Will definitely be using Earnest going forward.”
“Yogi had the best time! Rachel sent photos and videos of Yogi playing and having fun with her little ones. When we need a rover in the future, we will definitely use Rachel again!”
“Ann paid very special attention to our dogs and made sure to keep us updated multiple times every day! The dogs were brought on multiple walks/play sessions a day, and I felt comfortable on my trip knowing that someone capable and caring was watching my pups :)”
“Rhonda is a warm and caring dog lover! She was very attentive to my puppy's needs and was prompt in communicating any answers to the questions I asked her. My puppy came home in a great mood and I could tell she had a wonderful day at Rhonda's house, playing with her dog and napping and being silly.”

“I had a great experience at Krystal’s while I was out of town over the 4th of July weekend. She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. My 3 year old golden, Magnolia, was clearly well cared for and had a great time, I picked up a very tired pup! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Absolutely amazing. I got a sitter for life and a friend for life. She is so sweet and caring. She went above and beyond to make my puppy happy. She bought her treats and clothes. She is the best. Officially my pups auntie”

“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!!”

I have never had someone watch him before and was a little worried about how he would do, but Ericka and Robert were so kind throughout the whole process and sent me updates along the way ! They were kind enough to work with me when troubles arose and I had to extend his stay! 100% would book with them again!!”

“Molly was absolutely fantastic with Kobe! Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and making sure we felt comfortable while we were away. She was so thoughtful in how she cared for Kobe—making sure she had plenty of walks, outside time, and play to keep her happy and engaged. It was clear that Molly really cared and went above and beyond to provide a great level of care. We couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Sarah was fantastic and kept us updated daily with photos of our pups while they stayed with Sarah on our visit to England! They absolutely loved their time with her and Bruce and we will be definitely booking with Sarah again! Thank you so much for taking care of our pups!
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!!!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in River Oaks on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 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 2,705 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.
