“Esequias and Lisa are wonderful. Our fur baby is 3 years old and had never been with anyone but us. They alleviated any fears we had. Esequias came to our house to meet us and Hook, then we dropped him at their house for a few hours to see how he would adjust. They even picked him up when it was time for us to leave on our trip. They sent pics while we were gone. They treated him like one of their own. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Becky and John were phenomenal. They really care about your pups like they were theirs. Multiple daily updates, walks, playing and loving on them. They have great communication. Cant say enough about them. Will use them again over and over.”
“Melissa and Roy were amazing! The dogs seemed so comfortable and attached to them in couple of short days that watched them. So happy to have found two amazing people watch my pups. They sent pictures and videos that helped me feel at ease while away.”
“We left our Puppy with Sarah for a week and every aspect of our experience was perfect. We met a few weeks before the trip and Nico immediately bonded with her. She was very kind and gave him all the attention he wanted. During our trip, Sarah sent us clear pictures/videos and communicated with us each day. When we picked up Nico, he was very happy and full of energy. We will definitely book with Sarah again and recommend her to all our friends”
About: I have been around animals since I can remember. I’m very good at training puppies. I can give baths, clip nails, clean ears, brush teeth and love on them all day 🥹. I’m currently a stay at home wife, as well as my job is online so I’m home all day with critters 🤍. I’m used to having to watch a lot of animals. I have a 1 acre property fenced in with two other dogs that love playing, I keep a kiddie pool out for the dogs who love water, I have a 12 dog kennel so if you preferred your dog to be alone, my other two dogs are trained and comfortable in the kennel so your baby can play alone 🤍. I have a bunch of toys, and treats. I know how to wash, clip nails, train, clean ears, brush teeth. I had a dog with many medical issues so I know how to administer ointment to a sensitive area.
“Jennifer watched my 14 year old pup and I was very pleased with the care he received. I could tell he was well tended to while I was away. She is obviously an experienced sitter and cares for the animals as her own. I will be using Jennifer again”
“Kashia and her family took great care of our little guy. She shared pics and let me know how he was doing. He seemed very content in their home. I am sure he enjoyed having the company of her adorable pups as well. I’d definitely recommend her and would use her again in the future.”
About: I am a caring and responsible pet lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am patient with dogs of different personalities and always pay attention to their body language and needs. I can provide playtime, walks, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I also understand that every pet has different needs, and I will treat your dog like part of my family while they are in my care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and walks throughout the day. I’m happy to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. 🐶 I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I always supervise the pets in my care, make sure they have fresh water, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. I also pay close attention to their body language and give them space when they need it. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while they are with me. 🐶🏡❤️
“Stephanie and family are very pleasant. Lovely home and large gated yard. I received texts and pictures often while on vacation which I appreciated. Don’t hesitate to use her service if you are in need!”
About: My name is Jacob. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I started pet sitting when I was in elementary school, when our neighbors would go on vacation I would care for their dogs, cats, fish etc. I have had many beloved pets growing up. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many! But I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I can't wait to meet you and your pets :) **COMPLEMENTRY FREE TRIAL DAY FOR BOARDING** ** ATTN: MALE DOG OWNERS** If your dog has an issue with marking in our house we will be forced to put a belly band on him [aka doggie diaper for male dogs] During the trial stay we can evaluate what their behavior is in the house and if the marking is an issue or not. If this is something you are ok with and everything else works out great! If this is an issue for you then I am probably not the right fit for your fur baby and that’s ok! No hard feelings 😊 My top priority is that the dogs I care for are safe and enjoying their time while staying with me. In order to ensure that I offer a free "trial day" before their first stay. That's where you drop your dog off, let them hang out with me for a couple hours getting a chance to get familiar with my environment. After getting to meet some new friends and lots of new smells you pick up the dog and I can fill you in on how they did. This a requirement before first stay. I am currently working from home full time. Until further notice I will be home the majority of the day with your pets. If house sitting depending on how my workload looks I can normally bring my laptop with me over to your house during the stay. Heavier workloads require me to work from my desktop. Also, I am a new mom so overnight stays at your house are not possible. I can stay with them all day most days and during the weekend but not overnight. I work from home full time so I will be with your pet pretty much all day everyday. The only time they would be left alone is if I have plans for dinner etc or need to run an errand/s I have a fenced yard and two other dogs of my own for them to play with. I try and make their stay as similar to their own environment as possible! I am home everyday with your fur babies. I work from home so besides running errands or maybe dinner I will be home all day. I have a completely fenced yard and all smaller areas where the little dogs could possibly escape have been covered for their safety. I try to keep things as normal as possible for them during their stay. Whatever you think is going to make them feel the most at home is my top priority.

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.
98% of sitters in Alvord 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 Alvord 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 Alvord.
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 Alvord. On Rover:

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 Alvord 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.
