“First let me just start off by saying Mary and her family are too cute! They welcomed my little Topaz as if he were their own! You can feel the energy of her home warm and inviting, her dog is very sweet as well. She updated me with pics quite often and she even game him a bath before I picked him back up! I would highly recommend her and would definitely re use her if ever I needed care services in the future! Thank you guys for being so awesome!”

“Casey does a fantastic job! She watches Milo every year when we go on vacation. Milo loves going there and has so much fun and attention I think he doesn’t care how long he stays. Casey is attentive and I never have to worry about my dog’s care. She sends updates, pictures and will reach out if there is a question. We will never use anyone else!”

“Layna was a great sitter for my dog. He is still young and active, and he came home ready for a restful evening after quick run around home. Upon returning home, I think my dog may have missed having another dog to occupy his indoor time. I will definitely use Layna for future bookings.”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember. From a golden retriever, Chocolate lab, Chihuahua to an American Bulldog. We lost our Poe (American Bulldog) several months ago and instead of getting an new pup I want to love yours! I am active and will take your pup on walks and they will get the best care and attention while you’re gone. We have a doggie door so they can get out whenever they need to and be in our enclosed backyard. I currently work from home with lots of flexibility!! I might run to the gym or to the store but your pup will be covered. My husband and I are a team and love animals! We live on 11 acres. So plenty of space to roam with several fenced in kennel areas as well as wide open area to play and run.

“Janet was wonderful! This was the first time I've left our chocolate lab with someone we didn't know. She had a great time at doggie day camp, playing with her dogs, lots of walks, including to the creek, and treats galore! We are grateful to have found someone who will love our girl and take such good care of her while we are gone.”

I had a wonderful experience with this sitter! The sitter and her family were so warm, caring, and communicative throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog had a fantastic time, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter! Thank you!

It was our first time leaving our dog Ollie to stay with anyone and Allison made it a lot easier for us! She sent us pictures of him playing and let us know how he was doing the whole time. We picked him up after being gone a week and he didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend Allison to anyone needing someone to watch their dog!

Eleni and her family were amazing!! I left Louis with them for a month and then another week. He came back very happy and was happy to see them when I dropped him off a second time. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I know I can trust Eleni to watch Louis whenever needed!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Woodlands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Woodlands is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $37 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 November 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Woodlands. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

94% of sitters in 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 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodlands. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your 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 VA 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
