I would definitely book Katherine again and I highly recommend her.”

Dijon and Toffee were incredibly well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. ❤️🐾 It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands with Samantha while I was away. Communication was great, and I could tell my babies were comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention. Frenchies definitely have their own little personalities and needs, and they were handled perfectly! I truly appreciate the care and kindness shown to both of them. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur babies. We will definitely be booking again! 🐶🐶❤️”

“Yolanda was great!! I really appreciated her taking my boy in last minute. The sitter I had originally booked didn’t answer my calls or messages the morning of drop off. So I reached out to Yolanda and I was able to drop off my pup within the hour. She was really a life saver.”

“A well earned 5 stars! Colleen took such time and attention with our Lilo that went way above our expectations. Thank you for being so gracious and tending to her needs so well. We will definitely book again in the future!”
About: Previous animal care technician from Palm Valley Animal Society, who knows how to professionally handle all sizes of dogs! And knows what symptoms to look for in sick dogs. Always home and love spending time with any animal and can provide a good enriched environment to any animal looking to stay under my care I provide daily care to all pets in my home and do daily checks on them looking for any symptoms or problems that need attention!
About: I'm a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. Whether you're away for a few hours or several days, I'll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection( bathing time could also be requested) just like they’re part of my own family. You can relax knowing your fur babies are in good hands!" As I am in the process of pursuing a career as a phlebotomist and enrolling in nursing classes, my schedule can be busy at times. For this reason, I don’t typically accept house sitting, but may make exceptions for short stays under a week if they are nearby and align with my availability. I do offer drop-in visits when my schedule allows and am fully accepting boarding, where I can provide consistent and loving care. I tailor my pet care based on each pet’s routine and needs, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual feeding, walking, and play schedule to provide comfort and consistency. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I always prioritize their well-being, communicate regularly with owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while in my care.
“Lisette exceeded our expectations. She sent us a lot of pictures and our fur babies had a blast. Our regular sitter was unavailable this weekend and we were a bit worried leaving them with someone new. Thank you very much, Lisette for taking such good care our pups. We also appreciated the postcard. We highly recommend her services!!!”


About: The companionship of my pets has always meant so much to me. As a homemaker, I have the time to provide them with the best possible care, including their health, nutrition, love, and plenty of affection. Your furry baby will be in the best hands and will be treated as if they were my own. I have a senior Jack Russell at home who loves having company just as much as I do. Your pup's tummy comes first, so their stay includes special treats such as pet-safe ice cream, duck treats, dog cookies, peanut butter, and only purified water. If your pet prefers their own diet, you are more than welcome to bring their food, and I will be happy to serve it according to their routine. My home has a fully fenced backyard where your furry friend can safely enjoy playtime and outdoor activities. I also have plenty of toys and cozy dog beds for them to relax and take a comfortable nap whenever they need one. My daily schedule is very flexible, as I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my routine without any issues. Your dog will have constant supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I am able to follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and any special needs to ensure they feel comfortable and at home. Hello! I'm Paty, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. Since I spend most of my time at home, your furry family member will receive constant supervision, love, and personalized attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm environment. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I have cozy beds and toys to keep your pet happy and relaxed. I also share my home with a friendly senior Jack Russell who is accustomed to other dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines. You can expect regular updates, photos, and messages during your pet's stay, so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while giving you complete peace of mind. I would be honored to care for your beloved companion and look forward to meeting both of you!

“Chenay and her family took AMAZING care of Bruce, my older Pit. I received pictures and updates of how he was doing throughout my week-long trip. This was the first time I had boarded him and I was never once worried if he was settling in, getting play time, or being taken care. Absolutely fantastic experience!”

About: I was introduced to my wonderful Sabrina when I was 4. Everyday was something new with my baby. We would go on walks, play with her toys and just spend time together. We took care of her until her very last fetch. Sabrina made me fall in love with animals. Now I have my Zoey who I love and adore as much as I did my Sabrina. I have an open schedule, so last minute scheduling is not a problem. I’m available most days of the week and weekends. Just give me a holler! I have a very nice backyard and two friendly dogs. If your pet does not get along with dogs I have a separate area for my dogs! :)

I boarded my 13 year old pittie and 11 year old German shepherd with Gerardo, Brando, and Lorena for a week. They were amazing with my pups! I received photos and updates multiple times a day, each with the dogs engaged in activities like playing in the play area, lounging in the sun, or out for a walk. 10/10 recommend and would board with them again!

Nancy was such a great sitter for my beloved pup. She kept me informed on how the stay was going and sent several updates and pictures. It really helped ease my anxiety about leaving my puppy with a new sitter. We will absolutely be using Nancy for our sitter needs in the future.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
