“Excellent worry free stay for oscar. Amanda was kind to send updates regularly and was supportive and attentive to his needs. Highly recommendable from our side.”
“Kimberly is wonderful! She was able to give my diabetic cat his shots each day. My two cats were very afraid to be in a strange environment but she made special accommodations to settle them in and they calmed down. I'll be boarding them with her again!”
“They were great with both of my dogs. My dogs usually have a lot of anxiety around new people and one of them sometimes gets so nervous he doesn't want to go out or eat. I was kept updated with lots of pictures and videos and my dogs seemed to both be very happy!”
“Neel and his family took great care of Coco and Max! Shared plenty of pics and videos ans very prompt with the communication. Looking forward to Max and Coco staying with Neel and his family again very soon!”
“Diana and her husband have done a great job taking care of our dogs. They are very trustworthy. The only issue is there space is small but they walk the dogs plenty so it is not really an issue. Will use them again for sure.”
“Jennifer has a lovely home and such a warm, calming presence. She also has a well-behaved dog who got along wonderfully with my two. She cared for my treasures, Max and Chloe, for 10-days while I was away, and I truly believe she did an excellent job. One of my dogs was being treated for a urinary tract infection, while the other takes medication for arthritis. Jennifer graciously welcomed them both and administered their medications exactly as instructed. Throughout their stay, she sent photos and progress updates, which greatly eased my anxiety about leaving them with someone new, especially for such a prolonged period. When I arrived to pick them up, Jennifer had all of their belongings neatly packed and ready to go. She had even washed their tandem leash and brushed both dogs! Max and Chloe were healthy, happy, and clearly well cared for. It was clear that they had received plenty of attention and loving care during their stay. I would not hesitate to use Jennifer again whenever overnight accommodations are needed. Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such wonderful care of Max and Chloe!”
“Thank you for treating Truman like your own. This is the longest time we have been apart from our baby but I never had to worry. Janna and her husband updated us everyday. Truman came home well taken care of and full of exercise. They are very flexible and addressed all of our requests and concerns even at the last minute. We are extremely thankful and for sure use their services again.”
“Joanna and Brian are so kind and did a great job boarding my energetic puppy. They sent pictures every day - even with comments. My dog was happy and healthy when I picked him up, and I am confident that he had a good time. I highly recommend these excellent pet sitters.”
“Cynthia was so great!! She was very responsive and provided many updates! My dog was safe, healthy, and extremely happy. My pup was very well cared for and I would highly recommend Cynthia!!”
“At the first meetup, my husband and i immediately felt warm vibes from Nathalie and Jose. They were very nice, accommodating, and pleasant to speak with. You can easily feel how much they have passion for dogs, which made it easier for us to leave our pup knowing he is in good hands. Nathalie was also very good in keeping us posted on our pup, and would send updates with pictures of them all having fun whether in the house or out in the backyard. I'm sure our pup already misses them so much! We are so happy to have found them on Rover and will most definitely re-book again and again. Very highly recommended!”
“Wonderful family to work with! Rency communicated clearly before and during the stay, and everything was well organized when I arrived. Their home is in a lovely, safe neighborhood, and it was obvious they’re a responsible family who take great care of my pet.”
“We had an amazing experience with Jasbleidy. From the moment we dropped off our two dogs, we knew they were in great hands. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they received plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. We truly appreciated the sitter’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies!”
“Scott watched my dog for 4 days and everything went great! He sent pic updates twice and my dog was in good spirit after his care. Would definitely leave my dog with him again in the future!”
“Iridian was super attentive with my rescue. She made sure to do everything to keep Huey’s routine, and loved him like he was their’s. I truly appreciate her and her family for choosing to love and care for Huey. She updated me on everything, and sent plenty of photos throughout the day. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Rowena was a huge help with my dog Romeo during my work training and travel. She treated him with great care, kept me updated, and communicated wonderfully. I felt confident leaving Romeo with her and highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Victoria was great with our senior dog- very attentive and not only followed care directions perfectly, but she and her family were very loving with him. She updated me frequently and he was in great condition when I picked him up. Her communication was also prompt and she was very organized. Will book again.”
“Brianna is a very enthusiastic sitter--you can tell she loves dogs and takes their care very seriously. She gave my dogs a lot of activity time and sent me lots of photos with updates!”

Our 4-year old rat terrier, Bon Jovi had a wonderful time staying with Hannah and her beagles. Hannah is lovely as is her home, fenced backed yard and covered porch. She took Jovi on walks twice a day and did an excellent job communicating with us. We’ll definitely be contacting Hannah again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST Dog Sitter Ever! 🐾❤️ Marquis is truly the BEST! We have used him several times to care for our Sasha, and every single experience has been better than the last. He goes above and beyond to make sure she is not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely happy and loved while she’s in his care. He even feeds her healthy foods (healthier than what she gets at home! 😂), and his picture updates are the BEST! The moment we turn onto his block, Sasha gets ecstatic because she knows where she’s going! 🐶❤️ That says it all! Marquis is exceptional, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our fur baby. Highly recommend him—Sasha absolutely LOVES him! 🐾💕 Book with him asap you and your pet will have a wonderful experience!
Thank you Diana, best dog sitting experience we have had. Diana kept us updated on everything worth knowing, incl pictures. Our dog is not easy and she managed to succesfully introduce her to one of her own dogs, and they played and we saw out dog get more and more comfortable as the week progressed , Thank you.
What an amazing care taker Joanna and Brian are. We have had some bad experiences via rover but this one is a keepsake. We will be going back only to them in the future. Remo had a wonderful break at their place and they kept sending so many pics of him throughout our vacations. Our entire family enjoyed those pics and we were happy that remo was in a safe place. I would give them 100 stars of at that was an option. Thank you so much. Our baby had so much love to give and I truly hope you enjoyed him as much as he did.
I can't say enough good things about my experience with Valerie and her family. From the very beginning, she kept me informed every step of the way, which I really appreciated. She regularly sent photos and videos of Coco. Communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Coco. Seeing the updates along the way gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you for taking such great care of Coco! 🐾🌈

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Stafford is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $51 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.

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.
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 Stafford 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 Stafford 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 Stafford.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stafford. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Stafford 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
