“James took excellent care of our little Paco. We felt very comfortable leaving him in his care. He sent updates and cute pics often which furthermore eased our minds. We highly recommend him for your fur baby's comfy stay at a home away from home!”
“Dale was great! Sami will definitely be back! Dale sent pictures, videos and texts multiple times a day, and she looked happier and more playful each day. We were nervous about leaving her, and how she would react. We got Sami 3 months ago from the shelter, and she usually barks at anyone new, but she climed in Dale's lap like he was an old friend, and we neww she would be fine. We have another trip planed in a few months, and Sami will definitely spends that time with Dale!”

“Pamela was great! She took care of our huskies. Her communication was on point. She is very gentle and loving. She has a big backyard so the doggies can play outside. We will send our doggies back to her whenever we go out of town. So glad to find her!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life ever since I was a little girl, and I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I'm currently the proud "mother" of two guinea pigs! I genuinely love taking dogs on walks, feeding them, and taking the time to learn and adapt to their unique personalities. Noisy pups? No problem—barking doesn't bother me at all. I am also fully comfortable administering medications if your pet needs extra medical care, and I'm happy to transport dogs in my car for walks or adventures. I would love to meet you and your furry friend! I work Monday–Thursday from 8 AM–5 PM and Friday from 8 AM–12:30 PM. I have an hour lunch break during the week that I’d be happy to spend with your pet! My evenings and weekends are also completely free, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, play with them, or just hang out with them while you’re away. I live in a quiet military community with plenty of friendly neighbors and a calm environment. I’m also in a spacious apartment that’s over 1,400 sq. ft., so there’s plenty of room for your pet to get comfortable and move around. If your pet stays at my home, they’ll always be taken outside on a leash, and there’s plenty of room for them to walk around and get some energy out. I also love walking at the lake, so I’d be more than happy to bring your dog along for a walk!
“Yvan was great with our dogs! They stayed with him while we were at Universal. He take very good care of them, feed them and sent us pics super often. We will definitely call him back!”
About: Hi there, I’m Sara! I have one senior dog myself, so I understand the importance of having someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I run my own small business, so I’m available to help any time of day. I don’t like to leave my pup for too long, so I can insure yours wouldn’t be either. I have a small design and alterations business, so I have the ability to help really anytime of the day. My schedule is very flexible. I’d be happy to help watch your pup at my house or check in at your place. Safety is most important to me, so I would want us both to feel comfortable.
About: I've taken care of family dogs for ~12years, and have my own ~80lb gentle giant Pyrenees who has taught me alot about how a calm presence influences a dogs demeanor!! I will provide a safe, fun, playful space & treat your dog as my own!! My dog LOVES little kids, small dogs, and big dogs. She is a protector dog & will be gentle with the little ones & love to play rough w the big ones 🥰 Although my dog is spayed, I only accept uneuetered male dogs on a case by case basis (though I am sure they are sweet 🫶) I am free nearly every weekend!! I work Monday through Friday every week, and spend my evenings and weekends at home with my pup! Would love to have yours join us! I can provide separate spaces as needed, crate time, quiet time, or 1-one-1 play. Fenced in yard or a quiet space on the couch, we'll make it work!

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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Abilene 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 Abilene.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Abilene 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.
