“We left our 6 month old puppy,Chico, with Jordan for a long weekend. It was his first time away from home. She allowed us to stop by and visit a few days before drop off so Chico and I would feel comfortable at drop off. Chico was so happy to return there and he had lots of fun! I especially appreciated the cute photos and videos Jordan sent daily. Chico is looking forward to his next visit to Jordan’s house.”
“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of my boxer. He was very kind and kept me updated throughout the week. I loved knowing my dog was being loved on rather than in a kennel day and night! He even sent pictures ? We will be using his services for all future trips!”
“So awesome! Great communicator. My kitty seemed to have a great time and apparently made friends with another kitty haha. I texted and asked if I could extend my pick up time because my 3 month old was still napping and Mika offered and brought my kitty to me instead so I didn’t have to load up the baby. So kind and helpful. I will be contacting Mika again next time we need a sitter. :)”
“Heather is so sweet, considerate, and took extra care with our pup! Her communication is timely, concise, and above all, kind. Our pup definitely requires more attention, as she gets very nervous during thunderstorms and I felt so at ease leaving her in Heather's care. We are beyond grateful!”
“Kimberly was amazing! Our fur baby had so much fun. The family was so friendly. They sent some great pictures. We come to Houston every year & she will be at the top of our list. Thanks for a wonderful experience ❤️”
“Lacinda has watched Archie and Ollie many times and everytime we are so thankful that we finally found someone that loves our pups and takes care of them just like we do!!”
“Peyton did a great job taking care of our two golden retrievers for the weekend. She took them to the dog park, bought them treats, and was in regular contact by text message (including pictures). I would gladly recommend her for your dogsitting needs.”
“Isabela took great care of our babies. She provided excellent communication, plus some great photos of them while they were with her. Our dogs looked very at home and happy while there. I have a very picky eater who refuses even the best of treats, but Isabela made some homemade treats that he loves and was kind enough to provide us with a small take home bag of them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking for boarding.”
“Morgan is excellent! She came to my house before my trip for a meet and greet and then she helped pick up and drop off my pup so I had one less thing to do before and after my trip. She kept me updated -without having to be asked and included pictures. I never once worried about my pup, and I’m so happy to have found her. I will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks Morgan!”
About: What sets us apart is our deep background in rescue and the attentive, loving home we provide. Over the years, I have fostered 28 puppies—potty training them, nurturing them through vital developmental milestones, and helping them find their forever families. We know what it takes to guide high-energy, learning pups with patience and structure. At the same time, we have a very soft spot for senior dogs. Having loved our own dogs through their twilight years, we understand the gentle care, slower routines, and quiet comfort older companions need. As former rescue volunteers, we are skilled at reading body language and helping nervous dogs settle into a new routine. Best of all, because I work from home and our family of three simply adores dogs, your pup will receive hands-on supervision, plenty of belly rubs, and a true home away from home. Working from home means your dog is a natural companion throughout my day. My workday allows complete flexibility to step away for regular potty breaks, fresh air and playtime in the yard. Guest dogs usually love keeping me company by my desk, snoozing on a dog bed while I work, punctuated by regular belly rubs and stretch breaks. Mornings and evenings are our active family times. We enjoy getting outside for walks and backyard play, followed by relaxed evenings where your pup is welcomed wherever we are in the house. Because our household has three dog lovers, there is always someone ready to give affection, supervise or offer gentle company. In our home, your pet is welcomed as a true family member. We have a secure, fully fenced backyard that allows for safe, off-leash playtime, potty breaks, and sunbathing. For daily exercise, our quiet, safe neighborhood offers peaceful streets for leashed strolls and sniffing sessions. Having fostered 28 puppies, I understand how crucial structure is to a dog’s comfort. I am fully experienced and happy to support crate training, whether your pup is already crate-trained or still learning, as well as keeping up with feeding schedules and house rules. Your dog will have a safe, quiet space to decompress, comfortable spots to lounge alongside me throughout the day, and plenty of love from our family.
“I don’t even know where to begin. Selma took such good care of my baby dog Roo. She sent pictures several times a day and videos at least once a day. I’m so glad I found her and will use her again when I come to Houston. If she’s available she should be ur first choice. It was a great place for Roo to stay.”
“Annette was an absolute lifesaver, and we feel so fortunate to have found her! She cared for our dog, Milo, for almost two weeks, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. She followed his feeding schedule perfectly and clearly took his routine and well-being seriously. We especially appreciated the thoughtful, consistent updates while we were away. Twice a day, Annette sent wonderful photos and videos of Milo, giving us peace of mind and letting us relax knowing he was happy and well cared for. Annette is reliable, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving toward animals. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Milo and wholeheartedly recommend booking her. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Holly & her family are great. Super responsive to messages, and provides plenty of updates. Feels great to have a loving, caring environment to leave him in while we’re out of town!”
“Ella is simply wonderful! We are repeat customers and each experience has been great. She sends frequent feedback with pics and our little guy comes home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!!”
“Kristina did a great job! She knows dogs and ours was no exception. She was very good about sending updates, videos and pictures. Your pet will be in good hands. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. I understand that pets are an important part of your family, and I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I work full-time, but I make time in my schedule to provide loving, dependable care for your pets! I’m available for morning visits before work, afternoon or evening visits depending on the day, and weekends with more flexibility. Weekdays: Early mornings and evenings Weekends: Flexible availability Holidays: By arrangement Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care with their well-being always in mind. Your fur baby will be treated with love, patience, and respect every step of the way!
“Julia took great care of my boys. She and her family treated them like their own, and she sent pictures for me while I was gone so I'd know they were doing well. We'll be booking with her again for our next trip!”

Daisy and I had a wonderful experience with Jordan. They took such great care of Daisy while I was away and kept me updated throughout the week. I really appreciated all the pictures and regular communication, which gave me peace of mind knowing Daisy was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend them and would gladly use them again!
Heather offered a meet & greet prior to confirming our first boarding stay which was very helpful. She enjoys dogs and has a great yard for them to play in. Heather was professional and open to any special requests during boarding. She is quick to respond to any inquiries and sends daily photo updates. Heather did a great job and I will definitely book with her again! Thank you for caring for our Sasha!!
Maddy = Peace of Mind Haven’t left my girls with anyone in 5 years! This was huge to find someone so in-tune to dogs and their pack behaviors. Maddy was flexible and reassuring, which allowed me to extend my vacation. She was the perfect fit for my 2 treasures! Cecelia, Ruby🐾 Kona 🐾
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such wonderful sitters for our older German Shepherd. Kristen and Jeff always give him exceptional care, attention, and love while we’re away, which gives us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable leaving my lab with Kayla. It was his first time staying with her and usually most would be nervous, I wasn’t. I could tell she genuinely enjoying having my lab stay there. I will be reaching out to Kayla from now on whenever I go out of town.
Can't give enough thanks for how wonderful Ernesto, Joan and the whole family are in taking care of our pup while away. 5 Stars for communication and care indeed. So grateful we found such a nice family to watch over our pup when we have to travel - knowing he's in such safe hands and having a great time all the same.
We are so grateful for the wonderful care Deborah gave our dog! She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear our baby was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We especially appreciated how clean and well cared for she was when we picked her up. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - The Woodlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in The Woodlands is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $54 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 2,666 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across The Woodlands. 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 Woodlands 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 Woodlands home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Woodlands.
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 Woodlands 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
