“Another successful stay for Mell! It still amazes me how much progress he has made since Marisa started working with him on his social skills. Mell clearly loves staying with Marisa and her family since he runs into her house as soon as she opens the door and doesn’t even say bye to me!”

About: Your pup will enjoy a safe, loving home with a fully fenced backyard for plenty of supervised play and exercise. I stick to your dog's regular potty, feeding, and play routines while making sure they always have fresh water, lots of attention, and personalized care. Every dog is treated like family, so you can relax knowing they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for.🥰 I provide full-time boarding seven days a week, including weekends, so your pet receives consistent, attentive care whenever you need it. Holiday boarding is available for an additional fee due to increased demand and limited availability during peak travel periods. I encourage early booking to ensure your pet has a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and four friendly Miniature Schnauzers who are beloved family members. They are well-socialized, loving companions that help visiting dogs feel welcome in a safe, clean, and caring home.

About: I have grow up with all kinds of Pets. I live on a bunch of land and I love to go for walks. My family always have me go and pet/house sit for them when they go on vacations. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I go to school online so I’m always home. My child loves to go on walks, so I’m always going on walks. I do not have any rules about animals on furniture because I love to cuddle them. I will let them out, feed them, take them on walks, make sure they have water, and love on them when I’m not doing anything

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently share my home with three rescue dogs. Each came to me with their own fears, anxieties, and traumatic past experiences, and helping them build confidence and feel safe has taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, and individualized care. One of my own dogs, Evie, came from a severely abusive situation and was so fearful that she wouldn't allow anyone to touch her for weeks after coming home. Through patience, consistency, and learning to work at her pace, she transformed into the happy, affectionate dog she is today. Experiences like this have given me a special appreciation for nervous, shy, and rescue dogs who may need extra understanding. I understand that not every dog is immediately comfortable in a new environment. Whether your pup is shy, anxious, easily overstimulated, or simply needs extra patience, I take the time to learn their unique personality and help them feel secure. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience where your dog feels like part of the family. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and enrichment while in my care. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and because I understand that some dogs need breaks from social interaction, I also have space to separate pets when needed so they can relax and decompress. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. I am available Saturday through Monday and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member as if they were my own. Pet care is already a central part of my daily routine. I currently care for three rescue dogs, so my days naturally revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure each dog's individual needs are met. I am available Saturday through Monday and am home for most of the day during those times, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime. Because I already maintain a structured routine for my own dogs, visiting pets are able to settle into a calm and consistent environment. I believe every dog is different, so I take the time to adjust to each pet's energy level and personality, whether they prefer active play, walks, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing in a comfortable space. Creating a safe, low-stress environment is my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and all pets are supervised during introductions and play sessions. Because I have experience with rescue dogs and dogs with anxiety, I pay close attention to body language and comfort levels to help every pet feel safe and supported. My home has plenty of space for dogs to relax, and if a pet becomes overstimulated or simply prefers their own space, I can easily separate dogs to give them a calm environment to decompress. I never force interactions and always allow dogs to adjust at their own pace. I follow each owner's instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate routines, and any special needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so I provide regular updates, photos, and communication throughout their stay so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: what sets me apart is not only is this a passion for me i went to school for it. I feel like pet care services should be more accessible cause you know shit happens and having a good pet care system really changes things. Im from Chicago and im currently trying to become an exotic veterinarian or be within vet med sciences. I completed one step by attended fox college vet tech in chicago and trained animals on top of that specializing in fear and aggression. I’ve worked with banfield clinics and have done free service pop ups. i’m never gonna judge just want to be part of your pet caring team. I work for a different company aside from rover and I love it doing the same thing. I went to school for it. its a passion for me. people and animals save each other all the time, thats the stuff that matters. a good pet care system helps foster a good environment. I own pets so i understand all sides. I always follow the instructions given first to me first because every dog and every routine is different. tips and tricks can work for certain situations but at the end of the day, pet parent knows their dog best. How I personally take care of my pets is through getting to know their individual personalities and building a system that runs with my lifestyle, but also taking them to dog parks using plate puzzles to stimulate them, and personal time because, at the end of the day they are just as as much as aware as we are.

About: I’ve grown up caring for all sorts of pets, I don’t remember a time in my life when there wasn’t a cat or a dog. I love meeting and caring for all animals and I foster when I can. I would love to care for your fur baby. I currently have an open schedule, my every day is mostly caring and spending time with my pets. I’m very much so a homebody. I only go out about twice a month for a night. I have a fenced in yard for potty time and the whole home is offered for space to explore, get comfortable and play. I also have 2 dogs that love to play and cuddle so you for baby will never be bored or cold. I almost constantly have eyes on my pets and will always be making sure your pet is comfy and cared for. I do have a cat, so other cats that I watch will have their own litter box and their own eating area for optimal comfort.

About: I provide loving, safe, home-style boarding in my home. We are bilingual (English/Spanish), so communication is always easy and clear. Dogs get supervised playtime, potty breaks, and feeding on your schedule, plus a calm space to relax. I follow routines closely, send daily photo updates, and prioritize safety (secure doors, leashed outings, and careful introductions). My 8-year-old daughter loves animals and may be around, but I am always the primary caregiver and your pet is never left in a child’s care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home often and can plan my day around boarding. I provide morning and evening potty breaks, scheduled meals, supervised playtime, and calm rest time. I’m available for most weekends and many weekdays with advance notice, and I send regular updates and photos. Safety and comfort come first in my home. I have a fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time and a friendly toy poodle who enjoys calm company. I do slow introductions and can keep dogs separated if needed. I follow your routine, separate pets during meals, and can crate upon request. Dogs are supervised at all times, and I send daily photo updates.

About: I've worked with different breeds of dogs from rottweilers to english bulldogs. I can pick up on dog behavior really well and follow thier schedule. I work from home so I can make my time available for your fur baby from twelve o'clock to six o'clock in the late afternoon I have a medium sized fenced in yard. There is two dog park near by. I have a dog to give your dog a playmate. I work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to give your pup attention throughout the day. I’m home a lot, which means extra walks, playtime, and lots of company for dogs who don’t like being alone. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm, and I’m really flexible with scheduling if your dog needs a little extra time or care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow whatever routine your dog is used to—feeding times, walks, crate time, everything. I’m patient with shy or anxious pups and gentle with seniors. I’m also comfortable crating if needed, giving space when dogs need it, and making sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for the whole time.

About: Hi! I’m Niyah. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by feeding their pets, letting them out, playing with them, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I’m patient, dependable, and know how important it is to treat every pet like family. I’m also building my small business, NAE Home Concierge, so providing great care and earning your trust means a lot to me. I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know your pet is happy and in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I’m currently growing my home concierge business & going to school online, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care for your pet(s) throughout the day. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of attention and keep you updated during every visit. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, and I’ll follow your pet’s routine to help them feel right at home. I also have a cat, but she’ll stay in a separate room during your pet’s visit to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like family and send regular photo updates so you always know how they’re doing.

About: I grew up in a family that bred dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve been hands-on with puppies from birth through 10 weeks old, helping with everything from feeding and socializing to monitoring their health and growth. Along with that, I’ve grown up with 5 dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, training, and affection that dogs need at every life stage. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for a walk, playing outside, or just giving them some extra love and attention. Your pets will be treated like my own, with lots of care, fun, and respect. I’m currently not working so I have all the time I need. I can do all day on weekends and all day Monday through Friday. I love taking my pets on walks and play dates to the parks. I also love giving them attention and showing them love if we were just at home.

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.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Temple

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 367 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Temple. About 96% of Temple 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
