“Lily was amazing with my dog, Pearl! She sent daily pics and updates which I really appreciated. It made it so easy to relax knowing Pearl was in good hands. Pearl came back happy and clearly had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“She is the best. Shamareya was so sweet and my baby summer loved her. I left her for the first time while going on a trip and for some reason I was not worried coz I knew my baby Summer was in good hands.”
“This was my foster dogs first time away from me and she did great with Cherish! I got daily updates and photos. Cherish worked with her to continue her daily training and took all of my notes and lengthy requests!”
“Amy takes such great care of my pup Rigby! I feel at ease when I am travelling knowing he is safe and happy. Amy keeps me updated consistently with pictures, videos, and comments about how he is doing. I would trust Rigby with Amy anytime.”
“Andrea took such good care of my sweet boy Riley!! She gave him a bath and gave him treats! She gave me piece of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pups!! She gets a 5/5 from me!!!”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Lory. ❤️ Brownie is my 15-year-old dachshund and truly my baby, so leaving him with someone is a big deal for me. What stood out most about Lory was how personally she cared for him. She didn’t just watch Brownie, she really got to know him, paid attention to his needs, and gave him the patience, affection, and extra care that an older dog deserves. She was so gentle and loving with him, and I could tell she genuinely cared about how he was feeling and making sure he was comfortable. The little things she did to make him feel safe and cared for meant so much to me. She kept me updated and made sure I never had to worry about how my sweet old man was doing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Brownie was with someone who truly cared about him and treated him like family. I’m incredibly grateful to Lory for taking such special care of my boy. I would trust her with Brownie again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Iryna was so helpful agreeing to watch Tito at the last minute! She responded so quickly and answered all of my questions. Tito can be a handful sometimes but she sent photos and said he was calm and having a great time! Thank you.”
“Sandra is an amazing caretaker! She treated our dogs as if they were her own. They got plenty of outdoor time in the large shaded backyard and she even has a doggy pool if they wanted to cool down with a splash. She made sure they were comfortable and felt at home and she sent lots of pictures and videos! We feel so blessed to have found Sandra to watch our dogs and look forward to using her in the future!”
“Brianna was amazing with my little girl. She provided daily updates with pictures. My little girl even started her first heat cycle and Brianna was able to tend to her care appropriately. She put me at ease while I left on vacation. Will be booking her again.”
About: I enjoy taking care of pets and willing to work with a set scheduled time or if there are any medication that your pet needs to take, I am happy to serve! Taking care of pets fits into my weekly schedule because I work from home! I can also go for walks with pet in the morning/ evening. I live in a gated community and it is very pet friendly with walk ways to go for walks outside and different spaces with grass.
“Miranda and Boula have been so good to my puppy Riley. I used to work double shifts every weekend and every weekend for a few months actually they watched and cared for him as if he were their own. They send pictures, daily updates & are relaxed & flexible. I’m so grateful for the role they have played in helping me raise my dog. Whenever he is with them I know he’s in good hands. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Jennifer has a lovely home and such a warm, calming presence. She also has a well-behaved dog who got along wonderfully with my two. She cared for my treasures, Max and Chloe, for 10-days while I was away, and I truly believe she did an excellent job. One of my dogs was being treated for a urinary tract infection, while the other takes medication for arthritis. Jennifer graciously welcomed them both and administered their medications exactly as instructed. Throughout their stay, she sent photos and progress updates, which greatly eased my anxiety about leaving them with someone new, especially for such a prolonged period. When I arrived to pick them up, Jennifer had all of their belongings neatly packed and ready to go. She had even washed their tandem leash and brushed both dogs! Max and Chloe were healthy, happy, and clearly well cared for. It was clear that they had received plenty of attention and loving care during their stay. I would not hesitate to use Jennifer again whenever overnight accommodations are needed. Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such wonderful care of Max and Chloe!”
“I just want to say that Terrell did an outstanding job in keeping my fur babies! He had fun with my babies and I truly welcome his hospitality to all dogs. If you’re ever needing a sitter for your pet, please choose him! He’s awesome with dogs! I’m actually planning my year out with him on the list to keep my fur babies for me! Awesome sitter! ♥️♥️♥️♥️”
“Liron was wonderful! My pup absolutely loved being there and the cuddles, spoiling, etc. She’s been kind of sad since she’s been home.:( Thank you so very much for taking such great care of her!! I’ll be booking again in a couple weeks, for a work trip.:)”
“Radica was great!!! Very communicative. She kept me updated on how my BillieJean was doing throughout the day which gave me peace of mind that my baby was in great hands. I will most definitely book with her again.”

While away on vacation we rested easy knowing that our senior dog was well cared for by Mixie. She ensured that his dietary and medication needs were met and updated us regularly. We unexpectedly had to extend Mao-Mao's stay for a day and appreciate that Mixie accommodated our late request.
I would like to say that we were very happy we found Julian. He is an amazing young man, very responsible, and Bumpy fit right in. He has an amazing family, and I was so fortunate to know that my baby is taking care off. He kept me posted every day with texts and pictures and videos. We will be using Julian for our future stays. Bumpy had a mini vacay as well. Thank you Julian, we appreciate you.
Lily was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay, regularly sending us pictures and letting us know how he was doing. We especially appreciated that she kept us in the loop whenever he met new dogs during his stay. She also sent us pictures from his walks, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Her yard was perfect for him to run around, play, and burn off some energy. It was clear that Lily genuinely cared about making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will 100% be booking with Lily again the next time we’re out of town. Highly recommend her! 🐶❤️
I can’t say enough good things about our Estefania! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such loving and capable hands while I was away. Communication was excellent, I received regular updates, and it was clear that my dog was treated like family. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pet is priceless, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!
Mariam took such great care of Margo while we were out on a trip. She sent pictures and videos to make sure we were updated the whole time! Margo came back healthy and happy and even with a new carrot toy from Mariam. We are sending Margo back this next weekend! Very thankful for a sitter here now that we moved.
Oh I can’t say enough about how much My pup loved Roxana!! She is very good with communication and pictures; she is just above and beyond wonderful! I would definitely book with her again soon , my dog loved her I could see it in his smile ! If you’re looking for a great sitter she’s perfect! 😇💛
Nicole was absolutely AMAZING with our babies, Ren and Enzo. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout our pups stay at her place. Ren warmed up to Nicole so quickly and looked so cozy in every single picture. Although our boy Enzo had a bit of anxiety, Nicole did so amazing at getting him to settle in and making him as comfortable as possible. I HIGHLY recommend Nicole as your pet sitter. I was finally able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that my babies were well taken care of. Thank you x100000 Nicole!

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.

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.
95% of sitters in Alief 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 Alief 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 Alief.
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 Alief. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Alief 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.
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.
