About: From farm and ranch to pet boarding facilities, I've pretty much done it all. I have lots of experience with just about every pet there is, including seniors and bottle babies. I treat each one like my own and love them like family. From the energetic and active, to the timid and shy, I make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable while you're away. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your beloved family member and my goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy and genuinely cared for. I have my own small farm so animal care is a daily activity for me. The more to care for the merrier! I am off every Friday and through the weekend, so weekends are spent loving on the fur babies. I work with your preferences on crating and care. I have a large fenced yard and a smaller fenced area for puppies, seniors or small dogs.
“So thankful for Marc for taking such great care of our Bella while we were away. He sent us videos and photos of Bella while she was playing and sleeping and doing all the activities. She even made two new fur friends. I 100% recommend Marc. Your fur baby will be home away from home.”
“I am so pleased! My fur baby loved her, and I will definitely take Cookie to her again! She was great with Cookie, patient, kind, and considerate with me. Everything was easy! And I really appreciated the photos!”
“Linda and her family is awesome! This being my first time away from my dog Teddy, I was anxious, but they exceeded all my expectations. Linda and her parents were incredibly kind and loving, making Teddy feel right at home. Linda sent regular updates with fantastic photos and videos of Teddy, which greatly eased my mind. Their communication was excellent, and it was clear they treated Teddy like their own. Seeing him happy and well-cared-for allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worry. I highly recommend Linda and her family for dog sitting. Their genuine care and attention to detail made me very comfortable, and I will definitely use their services again. Thank you, Linda, for taking such great care of Teddy!”

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.
96% of sitters in Alvarado 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 Alvarado home-away-from-home, 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 Alvarado.
<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 Alvarado 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 , 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 .
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.
