“We were blessed to find Lindsey on Rover. She treats each dog as if they were her very own. If you’re searching for someone who goes above and beyond to care for your pet, you need to look no further. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Shane was a great sitter for our Jax! You can tell he really loves animals & he sends pictures throughout the stay! He responds quick and communicates well throughout the entire process. I will definitely take Jax to him again when the need arises!”
“I was really anxious about leaving my old man with someone he’d never met before but Arshawna had such great communication and energy, it really put us at ease. I loved getting the updates and photos and will be happy to have her take care of him again 💙”
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.
“Jessica was such a great find! When my husband dropped our dog off, she just went inside and didn't look back. Our dog did great and will definitely use her again! Love the big yard our dog loves it!”
“Lacey and her family took such great care of our dog, Buddy. He enjoyed his 7 night stay. We had a delayed flight and Lacey easily accomidated a much later pick up due to our flight issues. Buddy will for sure vacation here again. Thank you Lacey!”
“I was so thankful to have found Jenn and her family. I had never had to board my animals before. My dog can’t handle being in a kennel/cage. They were able to accommodate him. I didn’t have to worry about either of my dogs being neglected. She sent me daily pictures of them. I was able to deal a family emergency without stressing about my boys being ok. They always looked so happy and content. It was a great experience. I definitely recommend them to anyone.”
“Maria is very nice and was wonderful for my babies :) she sent a lot of pictures and is very communicative. My dogs were very well cared for and were very happy when I picked them up. She also accepted my booking very last minute and I'm very grateful. 5 out of 5 stars”
“Our fur babies had another wonderful stay with Thu! Definitely recommend and we will be asking her again to watch our two boys! They have a great time and our treated like family!☺️”
“Jadyn was very nice and sent pictures through out my doggies time with her. I would definitely book with her again. My babies seemed happy and playful upon picking them up. And she has a few toy poodles which is plus for my two doodles.”
“Kristen is a great cat sitter! She provided my cat with his own space and sent me updates on him and photos which made us feel confident our Kwazii was doing well. She even sent him home with new cat toys! ❤️”
About: I'm a mental health counselor, but I provide pet-loving services, in my free time. I've raised 3 kids and lots of pets, over the years. I have a flexible work schedule, during the week, and I can provide full-time care on weekends. When I'm home, pets get lots of attention! I have a large fenced yard and 2 small dogs (dachshund & morkie). My dogs are neutered and very friendly. We have a doggie door for yard access, but can close off the door, if restricted access is preferred.

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.

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.

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.
