“Mora had a great time with Jennifer and Brian! She stayed for a long weekend and we got several pics and videos throughout her stay. She has been there a few times and for the first time ever she approaches a sitter’s house happy. We will definitely be booking them again.”
“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.”
“Dana and her family took exceptional care of our senior Yorky. They treated him as if he were their own, providing him with love and attention. Dana also sent text updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely rebook her again.”
“So happy we found Perla and Victor! Ollie had so much fun and he was very well taken care of. They were very responsive, sent lots of pictures and videos and had great communication. We’re excited we found a new go-to sitter.”
“Could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very first meeting, it was clear how genuinely caring, reliable, and attentive Summer is. Dolly was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved during her stay, which says everything. Summer sent received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Katie is such a loving and attentive sister. Our little Chloe loved her stay with her. I know she is looking forward to her next stay and so am I. Thank you Katie for taking such good care of her!”
“Brittani is an angel! I'm recovering from an ankle injury and had to board Niko while my daughter was out of town. I can tell that my sweet boy was loved on! It was so hard to be away from him but Brittani and her family made Niko right at home, and made me completely comfortable during his stay. Niko kept his schedule, and I suspect he got just as many belly rubs as he does at home. Highly recommended!”
“before Andrea and David, i had never left my pup with anyone i didn’t know. I was nervous dog mom at first, but as soon as I left my pup with Andrea, I knew he would be taken care of well. Andrea did not disappoint! She sent constant updates via pictures and made sure my pup had so much fun. Thank you Andrea for taking such good care of him and easing my anxiety! Highly recommend!!”
“Maria took great care of our pup, Bear, and we couldn't be happier! She is extremely caring and pays attention to detail. From Bear's feeding schedule to regular walking routes, nothing was overlooked. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bear was clearly comfortable and happy with her, and came home relaxed and well-exercised. Maria genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like her own. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!”
“We have never used Rover before and are so very glad we did! Marie and her sweet family took great care of Birdie, shared photos, videos - we can tell Birdie was safe and spoiled! Thank you Marie!”
“Kaho took great care of my fur babies while I was out of town. They are senior dogs that require a lot of medications and are picky when it comes to eating or taking pills. Kaho made my two boys feel right at home and when I arrived to pick them up, they were in no hurry to leave. She also gave me several updates while my two Boston Terriers stayed with her.”
“My girls had so much fun and love while staying with Michael and his family. Michael sent me picture and text updates every day! I was able to enjoy my trip more knowing my girls were in great hands. Kona and Mavis will be staying with them again!”
“So relieved that I found someone so great to watch our lil pupper. So thankful for all the pics and video. He clearly really enjoyed being with you all. Thx again. Will def book again!!!”
“What a GREAT experience!! Our two Boston terriers were spoiled rotten by the entire family for a week. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation because we weren’t worried about our dogs. They took excellent care of them - daily walks, lots of playtime, picture updates, and an abundance of hugs and cuddles! I highly recommend Michelle & Allen for any of your pet sitting needs! I know we will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Christopher and his family are incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring. Based on Cosmo’s reaction when I picked him up after seven days of boarding, it was clear that he had become very comfortable in Christopher’s home. Cosmo has separation anxiety and typically struggles to adjust to new environments, especially when there are unfamiliar dogs or a large number of dogs around. However, Christopher did an excellent job helping him feel safe and comfortable throughout his stay. Christopher also kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive boarding experience for their pup.”
“Clean house, friendly sitter and great communication. My daughter loved all the update videos while we were away. And our pup really seemed to have a great time. I hope dulce is available for all of our future family trips.”
“Mamta took amazing care of our dog! This was our first time leaving him with anyone not a relative or a friend. She had a very clear process for introductions which made it easy for our dog to get accustomed to a new enviroment. She also made sure they were hydrated and kept us updated with photos throughout the weekend. We are very grateful to have her in our corner! She treats dogs like her own family. She is well trusted and i would recommend anyone to leave their dog with her. Thank you Mamta!!! :)”

Erin did a fantastic job in taking care of our elderly Aussie while we were out of town. She sent us lots of updates and photos. Our puppy clearly had a great time and got lots of backyard play time too, which he had been missing. We highly recommend Erin and will definitely use her again.
Nana and Scott took such excellent care of our Louie and we would highly recommend them for anyone needing pet sitting needs. They truly love our fur babies and Nana updates you with lots of photos throughout their stay. Our Louie is a little particular when it comes to his food/feeding and Nana has accommodated him so well. She even gave some recommendations on salmon oil to help him eat his food when he’s away from home. We were a little nervous leaving Louie with someone new at first, but he loved it there, gets so excited when we turn into the neighborhood, and I’m so glad we found Nana and Scott to help watch Louie. 1000% recommend them.
We rebooked with Brittani because our Doodle feels safe and happy with her and her family, and so will your pet! Niko had a huge smile plastered on his face when I picked him up which says it all! He was cuddled and well-cared for. It's a relief for me to know I have someone I can trust with my Doodle Bear. Thank you, Brittani!
I had such a great experience leaving Titan with her! Titan is a Rottweiler, so I’m always very particular about who I trust to take care of him, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She took great care of him, kept me updated every day, and was incredibly understanding throughout his stay. What stood out to me the most was how comfortable Titan was with her — he looked completely at home and genuinely seemed to enjoy his time there. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. I would definitely trust her with Titan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with care and patience!
Brittany was wonderful with Bella! We did a meet and greet beforehand where Bella got to meet her two adorable kittens, and everything went smoothly. Brittany was super flexible with scheduling and took amazing care of Bella while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing Bella was in such great hands. Highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a reliable and sweet pet sitter!
Very sweet and friendly couple! Since this was our first time, Emily checked up on care instructions for Bruno. She shared pictures, updates during the day. They even took my dog for a long walk in the morning so that we would still get a break when he got back. Very appreciative of everything they did. Will definitely come back.
We were needing a sitter on short notice and our usual sitter was not available for the holiday weekend-Enter Kimberly! She’s friendly and has loved &taken care of dogs for as long as she can remember. She was so patient and understanding with our nervous pup. She did a great job taking care of him, we’ll use her again. Thanks kinberly!
Yanel was fantastic!! She took our large dog on pretty short notice for 2 weeks. Communication and flexibility were excellent and appreciated and Yanel could not have been easier to work with. We never had any worries about how well our dog was being cared for, we will certainly use her in the future and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in The Colony is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,239 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across The Colony. 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.
95% of sitters in The Colony 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 The Colony 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 The Colony.
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 The Colony 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.
