“Caroline was amazing from the very beginning. Flexible timing for the drop off, opened her door right up and made us feel at home. She is very sweet and sent me a ton of photos of my dog having a blast running around her backyard. My hyperactive boxer is tuckered out now that we are back home, which is extremely rare for this high energy breed so I know he had a blast with Caroline. Thank you!”

Mason accommodated my few special dietary requests and overall was awesome with the doggo and his activity level. I will definitely ask Mason to watch the pup next time i have to go out of town!”

About: With 30+ years as both an owner and caretaker, I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, so I'm comfortable handling whatever your pup's quirks or needs might be. I am especially good with senior dogs who need extra snuggles. Because I work from home, dogs here are almost never alone: we're roaming the house and yard together most of the day, with plenty of outdoor time built in naturally rather than scheduled bathroom breaks. Furniture, couch cuddles, and a genuinely cozy home are all part of the package. My own dog, Birdy, is a big, social 7-year-old who loves catch and tug-of-war, and having a resident dog who's socialized helps new dogs settle in fast. Most guest dogs are playing with him within the first day. I always set up a short meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone starts off comfortable. I typically accept two dogs and will only add a third on a case by case basis. This happens when a client needs service and it overlaps with someone else coming or going. Also, If they are a bonded pair that I've worked with before and had an excellent prior experience with. You can reach out to me and we can make a safe decision together. What sets me apart is simple: your dog becomes part of a real, active household, not just a guest in a kennel. If you're looking for a place where your dog gets treated like family with a comfy home, a big backyard, and a friendly canine companion, I'd love to meet you both! Pet care isn't squeezed into my routine, it is my routine. I work from home, so dogs are woven into my entire day: mornings outside, walks, playtime, quiet afternoons while I work nearby, and evenings winding down together on the sofa. There's no juggling a job outside the home or rushing back for breaks; I'm simply here, mostly all day, every day, with time built in naturally for whatever the dogs need. Your dog's safety is my top priority. My yard is large and fully fenced with a 4-foot chain link perimeter, so there's secure room to run and play. I work from home, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and almost always have someone nearby. I require all dogs to be spayed/neutered with current shot records, and I don't board dogs with aggression issues. No exceptions for the safety of everyone. Every new dog starts with a short meet-and-greet with my own dog, Birdy, so we can make sure it's a good match before any stay begins. My home is smoke-free and set up to feel comfortable and familiar, not clinical. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and treated like part of the family from day one.

Thank you for loving him as your own, thank you for the updates, texts, and photos. We knew he was in great hands and we were able to enjoy our weekend away from home!”

“This was my boyfriend and I's first time leaving our dog, Delta, so we were a little nervous, but Kristen was amazing and definitely put all our worries to rest! As soon as she sent us the photo updates on the first day, I was immediately calm about leaving our dog with Kristen and her pups. It was so nice that Delta got to run around in Kristen's fenced in backyard with other pups while we were away. The continued photos were greatly appreciated too! I would highly recommend any pet parents to use Kristen as their next sitter!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire childhood and adult life — my previous dog lived to 17 years old (60 lbs), and my current dog has been with me since she was a puppy. I’ve watched many breeds and sizes over the years, from tiny lap dogs to large, energetic pups. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and understood. We live in a dog‑friendly home with a fenced‑in backyard that stays mostly shaded, which is perfect for hot Texas days. My dog is friendly and would love to play with yours if they’re willing. She’s gentle, social, and enjoys having a buddy around. She can get annoyed with younger dogs if they jump or get in her face but she lets them know with a growl. My kids love helping with visiting dogs. Depending on your dog’s behavior and comfort level, they may: • Hold the leash during walks • Help with feeding • Play fetch or chase in the yard • Snuggle at bedtime if your dog enjoys that Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, so we adjust based on their needs. I do require a meet‑and‑greet before watching any animal. I also prefer a trial overnight stay before any long stays to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone — your dog, my dog, my kids, and the overall environment. To make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and set up for success, please share details about whether they are: • Excessive barkers • Aggressive with other dogs (food, treats, toys) • Door dashers • Cat friendly • Kid friendly • People friendly • Marking • Territorial • Highly anxious • Jumpers • Chewers • Diggers • Climbers • Able to be left alone and for how long This helps me tailor their stay and ensure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable. I care for animals of all sizes and breeds, and I’m happiest when I get to love on your pets throughout the day. For out of home care: I only accept clients within 10 miles of my home so I can visit multiple times a day (if needed) and give your pets the attention they deserve. I can either let out for a bathroom break or go for a walk. For in-home and out-of-home care: Before booking, please share your feeding instructions, medications, allergies, and any special routines. My kids enjoy helping with walks and playtime, so let me know if your dog pulls or has any quirks on leash. For in-home care: I’m home most of the day, but I do occasionally leave for errands or volunteering. Please be upfront if you expect me not to leave for more than a certain number of hours — and what you’d like me to do if something unexpected comes up. A typical day includes breakfast and bathroom breaks, followed by a morning or late‑morning walk depending on weather. I provide lunch if your pet’s diet allows, bathroom breaks as needed, and lots of playtime and affection. Dinner is usually around 5 PM unless you prefer otherwise, and there’s a final bathroom break before bedtime around 10 PM. Pets are welcome on my furniture unless you prefer otherwise in your home. Requirements before booking: MUST BE GOOD AROUND KIDS AND OTHER DOGS IF STAYING IN OUR HOME • Meet‑and‑greet for all out‑of‑home care • One overnight stay for all in‑home care • Veterinarian contact • **Medication details****/**dosages • Feeding schedule • Allergy information • Behavioral notes (anxiety, reactivity, pulling, aggression toward dogs, aversions to sounds, etc.)

What a great family to leave our furry loved one with. There were 2 other canine friends to play with built in as well as a charming young human friend. Our Sheltie was taken on walks to local parks and had all the outdoor time she wanted. Drop-off and pick-up went exactly as planned, which is very important for those of us on our way out of and back into town. 10/10 highly recommend

FAQs for Pet Boarding - The Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in The Hills is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $81 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 3,949 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in The Hills. About 91% of The Hills 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.
