“My dog had such a great time with Beatrice and her dogs! My dog was very anxious and shy upon arrival, but she made sure Buttercup felt welcomed in her home! She got to play and cuddle with the other pups and I look forward to working with her again in the future! ☺️”
“Lily hosted my bulldog puppy Maggie for doggie daycare and was responsive and sent pictures throughout the day. I was a little nervous at first about her husky Turbo being too high energy for my pup but he was totally calm and extremely patient with Maggie's intrusive puppyish bulldog ways.”
“This was my first time to leave my dog with Helen. Helen is amazing and kept sending photos of Charlie when I was away. She loves dogs and she is very kind and caring. Thank yo Helen and we will be definitely back.”
“Coming up on a year of Junie going to Michael for regular daycare. Still wonderful! His pups are her best friends and she’s very excited to head out from home in the morning.”
About: I genuinely care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on each animal’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with both energetic young pets who need structure and play, as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra comfort, and lots of reassurance. I’m reliable with routines, medications, feeding schedules, and potty breaks, and I always make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. To make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable stay, I ask that owners please review a few guidelines: • Pets must be friendly with people and other dogs • Please provide food, leash, and any medications needed during the stay • Let me know about any behavioral quirks, anxiety, or special needs in advance • Pets should be house-trained or comfortable with a routine potty schedule My goal is to create a safe and happy environment for every dog that stays with me. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Your pet rarely won’t be left alone for long, and I can easily keep up with their normal routine. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves meeting new dogs, so your pup will always have a built-in playmate. He’s great with both big and small dogs, so pups of all sizes are welcome here. I have a whole open room just for your pup to relax, eat, and play filled with comfy beds, lots of toys, and even doggy pool days in the summer! Dogs are free to roam and explore 24/7, and I don’t gate them off from each other, so they can make friends and enjoy company whenever they like. I also have a large crate in the house for owners who prefer their pup to have one while I’m away. It’s rarely used (only if requested) so don’t worry, your dog won’t be confined unless that’s what you want. I stick to your pup’s routines and rules (feeding, potty breaks, medications) and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see all the fun they’re having while you’re away.
About: I’ve personally cared for my puppy since he was just a baby, and I trained him myself using positive reinforcement techniques. This has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, routines, and the importance of consistency and patience. On Rover, I know pet parents are trusting me with a member of their family—and I take that seriously. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pup needs playtime, structured walks, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and follow your care instructions closely. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which means I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I’m always nearby for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and anything else your pup might need. As a proud dog mom who raised and trained my own pup from 4 months old, I understand how much patience and care young dogs require. Whether your dog is full of energy, still learning, or just needs a little extra love, I’m here to support them like family. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family in a safe, loving, and secure environment. I live in a quiet space that’s perfect for anxious pups who need a calm and peaceful setting to feel at ease. I provide a clean, cozy area for your dog to relax and play, and I’m happy to share photos of the space ahead of time so you can feel confident about where your pup will be staying. For safety, I do not allow any strangers into my home during boarding or daycare. Since I work from home, your dog will always have supervision, consistent care, and plenty of love throughout the day.
“Gizmo love Ony!! Right away he was comfortable in her presence and in her home. She was quick to respond, sent updates, and photos of Gizmo enjoying his day at daycare. I will definitely book with her again for daycare and boarding. 5 Stars”
About: Certified trainer & full-time pet lover! 🐾 My husband and I treat every guest like our own "fur-child." Since I’m home all day, your pet gets tons of attention, couch snuggles, and a cozy spot in our pack. We share our home with two friendly dogs and a cat, and we love making new friends! Whether they’re playing with our mountain of toys or napping by my side, your pet will be safe, happy, and totally spoiled. I’m home all day, so they’re never lonely! • Total Flexibility: I can usually jump in for last-minute bookings. • Eyes-On Care: My husband is also home to help, so there’s always a human around. • Customizable: I am happy to adjust to your pet’s specific feeding and exercise routine. • Overnight: Your pet will have a cozy, secure spot to rest through the night. Small groups = zero stress. • The 2-Pet Rule: I only take two guest pets at a time. This keeps things calm and ensures everyone gets 1-on-1 time. • Pro Handling: As a certified trainer, I’m an expert at reading body language and keeping the peace. • Structured Environment: I use gates and crates during mealtimes and can provide separate rooms for cats and dogs if needed. • Health Conscious: I am very attentive to medications, strict allergy requirements, and specific "pet peeves."
“Our puppy had such a great time at daycare. He loved getting to play with the other dogs, and it was so reassuring to receive lots of photo and video updates throughout the day. Miranda and Paula are wonderful. They clearly care about the dogs and made sure our pup was happy and having fun. We really appreciated the great communication!”
“Noel was simply the best. He sent me picture of Baas every single day and communicated every day. Super easy to work with and very accommodating to my schedule. This was my first time dealing with Noel and I was a bit skeptical but after a day I knew baas was in great hands. Highly recommended ?”

About: Hi, I am Krithika! bring the mix of experience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every pet I care for! I’ve fostered dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from playful, high-energy puppies to shy or adjusting pups who just need a little extra patience and reassurance. I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe and happy. I also have a dental and healthcare background, which means I’m familiar with basic pet first aid and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I’m naturally observant, so I notice the little things and make sure your pet is always well cared for. I love helping my neighbors with training their dogs, so I’m happy to reinforce good habits, practice basic commands, and support routines you already have in place. Whether it’s guiding a young puppy or making sure an older dog feels comfortable and relaxed, I’m all about creating a positive, loving environment. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of care, attention, and affection! 🐾 I am currently working from home and have a pretty chill schedule. I build my schedule around making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I am used to planning my day with regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and checkins, so your pet will always have structure and consistency. Since I have fostered dogs and regularly help neighbors with their pets, I am comfortable adjusting my routine to fit different energy levels and needs, whether that means active playtime for a puppy or a slower, more relaxed pace for a calmer dog. I also make time for training reinforcement, enrichment activities, and, of course, lots of cuddles. I live an apartment with great space. My dog, Tisha is allowed on our furnitures and beds. She used to sleep in her crate but we recently made the switch to let her sleep on her bed in our room.
“This was my first time using Rover and will definitely not be my last. I choose Claudia because first, she lives close by and second, her high star reviews. And man, they weren’t kidding. Claudia has been exceptional with this whole process esp for a first time user. But the most important aspect was her attentiveness to Duke, my frenchie pup. Duke is six months old and is very active. I was afraid his “energetic” personality would deter her from watching my dog but it didn’t at all. She was very understanding of his needs as a pup and assured me that everything will be okay. She took the time to get to know Duke during our “meet-and-greet” and after that, it was smooth sailing from there. She sent me pics during his stay and kept him entertained which is important to a very curious pup. Altogether, I was very pleased with Claudia and would highly recommend her for your next Rover experience.”
“Stephanie was so sweet! Her house is perfectly set up for doggies to have a great time! My baby Boone had a wonderful Saturday hanging out, going on walks and meeting other pups with her! I was able to go and have a fun time knowing my furr baby was well taken care of. We will definitely be visiting again! ☺️”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Alief commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,295 sitters in Alief, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
