“Lacey was amazing with our dog Jasper! He can be a little anxious with new people and places, but he settled right in and seemed so comfortable. We got tons of updates and photos which helped us relax and know he was doing well while we were on our trip. We will absolutely be booking with Lacey again in the future!”

“Kelly was amazing! Cheyanne loved her stay and Kelly did a wonderful job keeping me informed and sending pictures. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for someone to keep their fur baby.”
“Kelli was great! She took amazing care of our dogs and on short notice. She kept us updated with video's and pictures during their stay. Her Danes are totally chill and we look forward to using her again in the future!”

“Katie and her family loved on my sweet pup for for me for 2 nights! She sent pictures of my dog on walks, playing with her dogs, and loving on her kiddos! Excellent communication and was flexible with us on drop off times. Will definitely use her again!”
“Our boy is not comfortable around other dogs so we have always felt miserable about boarding him. Enter Paul. He welcomed Calvin into his home with open arms and was more like a foster parent than a pet sitter from the moment we introduced ourselves. Even as we were leaving I could hear him calming our boy with patience and kindness. We received daily updates and photos to let us know Calvin was doing well, and at pick up it was clear that not only was our dog calmer than he had been when coming home from a boarding facility, he was thriving! We are so grateful to Paul for looking after our boy as though Calvin were his own dog. We now know our first choice for trips away from home! Thank you, Paul!”
“Dana & Adam treated our puppy Bentley like he was their own! They sent photos throughout the stay whenever I asked and he seemed to have a great time with them! I would definitely book again with them.”
“Stormi really enjoyed her stay, playing with other dogs and new toys. Mallory took great care of my baby, every since I picked her up she's been whining to go back. Thank you Mallory.”
“Andrew and Joy were wonderful with Buttercup. I could tell immediately from the pictures and videos they sent that she was happy, even though she missed me. Buttercup is extremely attached to me and struggles with separation anxiety, but their engagement, attention, and playtime kept her from experiencing the sadness I’ve seen with other sitters. I’m always anxious when I have to travel somewhere I can’t take Buttercup because I worry she’ll feel abandoned. Andrew and Joy truly put my mind at ease. It was so comforting to see her bonding with their dog Oliver, going on walks together, playing, and even taking naps side by side. I still don’t enjoy leaving Buttercup behind when I travel, but Andrew and Joy's special care for Buttercup gave me real peace of mind knowing she was genuinely loved, cared for, and happy while I was away.”
“Linda was absolutely wonderful with Cooper. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Cooper was very happy staying with Linda and we will definitely book with her next time we need a sitter!”
“Grace and Devon were awesome. Our dog stayed for the first time for almost a week - and was sad to leave! They are professionals with dogs and we had every confidence in them and were able to enjoy our vacation.”
“Autumn and her family were the best and we are so thankful! They took such great care of our sweet boy and sent updates every day! They were so gracious to let us come over for a meet and greet and let him get comfortable. Highly recommend and we will be back!”
“If you're looking for personalized care for your dog, this is the perfect spot. My dog seemed incredibly relaxed and quickly got comfortable in the new environment. I'll definitely be recommending this place to others.”

As always, Lacey was absolutely wonderful with Toffee! She was caring, dependable, and made sure Toffee was comfortable and well taken care of while we were away and out of the country for two weeks. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Toffee was in such good hands. Lacey communicated well and treated Toffee like her own. Lacey sent daily updates that included pictures. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and we will gladly book with her again!
Kellye and Esteban were amazing with my 2 pups. They are both senior pups so they took very good care of them sending updates and pictures on a regular basis. Her kids are amazing with pups too and they have a beautiful house right by the lake where any pup would have a great time. Will definitely book again in the future. Thankyou !!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shady Shores is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Shady Shores can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shady Shores home-away-from-home, 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 Shady Shores.
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 Shady Shores 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 , 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 .
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.
