“Very accommodating, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Always responsive and provides excellent updates. Truly appreciate the love and care given to our fur baby. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Candice was very kind and sweet with Louie. Louie is older and at times is anxious. He seemed to get along well with the other dogs. Will definitely request Candice again, if she is willing.”
“Lindsey was absolutely awesome with watching our dog Ace. She’s super responsive, attentive, and accommodating. Ace always has an absolute blast when he stays with her and he always get excited when I pull up in the driveway. Whether its playing with other dogs, fetch, walking or going on runs… Lindsey and her family will make sure your dog never has a dull day and plenty of stimulation.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jasmine. She took such wonderful care of our boys, Opi and Boone, over a long weekend, and we are incredibly grateful. It had been a very long time since I had left my dogs with anyone, so I was honestly pretty nervous. Opi and Boone are family, and trusting someone else to care for them is a big deal for me. But from the moment I met Jasmine and her husband, I immediately felt reassured. They were so warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, and I knew right away that our boys were in the right hands. Jasmine kept us comfortable knowing that Opi and Boone were being loved, cared for, and treated like they were her own. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our time away without constantly worrying about how the boys were doing. When we picked them up, they were happy and well cared for, and we could tell they had a wonderful stay. ❤️ Thank you, Jasmine and family, for taking such amazing care of Opi and Boone and for giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust you with our boys again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets like family🐾❤️ **Five stars without hesitation!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: I’m a mom and a nurse. I have one dog who is about 10 years old. I’ve helped pet sit for my family for several years. I’ve taken care of a golden doodle service dog, hairless cat, and a few small chihuahuas. I am free for boarding every other weekend. Possibly some week nights as well. Looking to help out and do something a little different outside of my day job. I have one dog and one child in my home. My apartment building has a nice dog park and lots of grass for walking. I also enjoy going to dog parks in town.
About: I’ve house/animal sat for numerous family and friends over the years. As well as I have a 4 year old Dalmatian. I love taking care of animals and would be delighted to anytime. Due to having a pup at home I can not stay overnight but more than happy to let fur babies out super early/ late. I am currently a full time nurse I have plenty of free time on my hands when requested in advance! Also have help when needed! I have a big fenced in back yard with lots of room to run around. As well as a spunky Dalmatian to play and keep your fur baby busy.
“Brady was calm and content when I picked him up, compared to his behavior when I had him kenneled recently. I am grateful for the care he received. Lacy did a great job. I would recommend and use her services again.”
“Ashli was absolutely amazing. Our kitties absolutely love them. They are such kind people. We received continuous updates with photos and even videos. We will absolutely use them again.”
About: Whitney Amanda but I go by Mandy!I am new to rover and looking to grow experience. My services are walks ( or even runs as I enjoy running!) and drop in visits. Since I work at the hospital during the day, I would drop in early in the morning, lunch break and/or evening visits. I’ve had pets of my own + I use to work in a pet care and spa for a bit. I would love too help you get great care for your fur babies!! I am currently full time at a hospital but looking to help with evening or overnight care. However, feel free to reach out as I do have off days here and there. Communication is the best form of care. You let me know what your pet needs and I am there! I am happy to provide a caring and nurturing environment for your pet.
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m absolutely not new to caring for pets. I’ve had both cats and dogs for years, and I’m the person friends and neighbors trust when they need someone dependable who actually cares. I pay close attention to routines and what each animal needs to feel comfortable, and I follow instructions exactly so everything goes smoothly. I’m great with shy or sensitive pets, and I know how to keep them calm, happy, and feeling safe. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m very comfortable with everyday care, basic commands, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet will be in good hands with me—treated with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own. I work from home part-time, have two kids in daycare, and a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week, including weekends. I can care for pets in my home, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard, so pets can enjoy some fresh air safely. I do have young children and will only take dogs/cats that are safe being around children, for both of our safety.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm where caring for a variety of animals was part of everyday life. My experience also includes working as a wrangler out West, where I handled and cared for horses and livestock in a professional setting. From puppies and dogs to larger animals, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. At home, I have an energetic English Springer Spaniel puppy who loves making new friends and playing with other dogs. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, or just extra attention and affection, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re with me. Daily updates and photos are always included so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work outside the home from typically 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays and am typically home the rest of the day. This allows me to spend plenty of quality time with pets in my care, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. My evenings and weekends are largely spent at home, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship and care throughout their stay. Pets are cared for in a safe, calm home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. When I’m away at work, all pets stay safely inside. I maintain a structured, secure environment and provide attentive care based on lifelong animal experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have experience working at a humane society for a couple years rehabilitating dogs to human interaction. I have 2 dogs of my own that are playful, loving, and have been trained on simple commands. I regularly dog sit for neighbors in my area. I currently work from home Monday through Friday, which makes it easy to tend to pets needs. Other than running errands or planned activities, I am mostly home all day/week. My backyard is completely fenced in. I have cameras in every corner on the house, at the front door, and in the living area. I am home during the day most of the week.
“I felt comfortable leaving my furbabies with Jenn and her family. I was kept up to date with pictures. I will definitely be bringing my girls back. Thank you Jenn! 😊”
“Very nice. This was my first time using rover and Sara was awesome. When we dropped him off she met us outside to ensure a smooth transition. She sent daily photos and updates. Our baby seemed happy and didn’t show any signs of distress. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Raised an australian shepard pup and kept her occupied and also have dog sat, walked and had sleep overs with from huskies to shelter pups. Never met a dog I didn't like. I have a very open schedule for frequent walk and stop ins. Setting pups up for the night and making sure they are tired from every walk. I always ask what their typical routine is to mimic it in the dogs safe space and am focused on replicating it as well as I can.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Temple
She was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! She was incredibly kind, responsive, and sent lots of pictures and regular updates, which gave my girlfriend and me great peace of mind while we were away. She was also extremely communicative and transparent throughout the stay and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She was even willing to rearrange her work schedule when needed, which we really appreciated. She also went above and beyond when wrapping things up. Everything was packed up very neatly, and she even washed things in the dishwasher before leaving. You can really tell she takes pride in taking care of the dogs and making things easy for their owners. We would absolutely have her watch our dogs again!
Alexandra is so sweet and so good with my Oakley. She is also very accommodating. We’ve too often asked her to sit for us last minute and she has always been happy to do it. She sends pictures so that we can see what our baby is up to as well. And Oakley gets along well with her other dogs. She treats Oakley like one of her own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Temple is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 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.

As of October 2026, there are 358 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Temple. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Temple 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 Temple 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 Temple.
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 Temple 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.
