“We will definitely book with Andrea & her family whenever we need someone to watch our baby. Chewbacca was so well taken care of that we were able to fully enjoy our trips. She sent updates periodically which we happily received. We reccomend her to everyone.”
“We hadn’t left our 10-year-old silver Lab with anyone in a long time, and we really didn’t want to board her in a large facility. We were looking for something more personal and calm, and Roland ended up being a perfect fit. Communication was great from the start, which made leaving for an extended Europe trip much easier. Our dog got lots of individual attention and gentle socialization with Roland’s dog Coco, and she was clearly comfortable and happy while we were away. Roland even worked with her on a few behaviors and took the time to show us how to continue that at home, which we really appreciated. We came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for dog. He’ll definitely be our first call for future pet sitting and boarding, and we highly recommend him.”
“Could not have been better. We got delayed and they offered to keep our critters longer. Great communication and updates. My new permanent dog sitters. Great people”
“Ariel took excellent care of my Bailey, so glad to have made the connection. I appreciated Ariel for sending pictures and updates without asking, definitely made me feel comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will book again!!”
“This was the first time that a private person has watched my fur baby. But I do know that I will never go back to boarding facilities. Janel was definitely the Best! She sent me updated and pictures twice a day and allowed my baby to comfortably walk around to get adjusted to her own for baby. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her as my pet sitter.”
“Judith and her husband are so kind! They took such good care of my little guy, and I can tell he had a lot of fun! She kept me updated each day with pictures which was so nice, and they were very understanding and accomidating to my last-minute request. They have a beautiful home and a perfect yard with a doggy door!”
“Elezah was great! Our babies were well taken care of and seemed really happy in the pictures she sent us. I am additionally grateful for her care of my elderly dog, Pepper, who needs meds and gentle care. I will use her service again in the future and recommend her highly.”
“Reba had an open space for Molly. She was very thorough in finding out everything Molly needed. She kept me informed frequently with Mollys time with her with videos, pictures and updates.”
“This was my dog, Maui’s first board with Keliann! She had set up a meet and greet with Maui and asked questions about him to get to know him! Keliann communicated well throughout the visit & he came back very happy! Keliann is very knowledgeable about dogs, dog behavior , etc. She is awesome & I will definitely be taking Maui to her again in the future!”
“We loved how they cared for Oscar as if their own, heeding to his particular personal needs and trying to understand him. He was very well looked after and we received timely updates with texts and pictures. They were very patient with all our queries too. We loved how empathetic they were with pets and treated him with so much empathy and gentleness. He was very relaxed and his usual self when he got back home. Definitely recommendable and we will surely be requiring their care in future again for Oscar. Thank you again Sudha and Ravi🙏.”
“Janna and her family were amazing! They took such wonderful care of my cat and showed incredible patience and kindness, especially since it was his very first time being away from home. They made him feel safe and loved, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. I’m so grateful for their care and will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Our dog Penny had an amazing time with Reagan! She went on many walks, played in the backyard numerous times and was taken care of like family. We had daily updates and pictures and will definitely use Reagan again. We highly recommend Reagan!”
“I was extremely grateful to have found Celia to take care of our very skiddish and nervous 3 year old Jack Russell. He was a stray, found roaming the streets 2 years ago, and was obviously abused because he’s very apprehensive of strangers. I left him with Celia for 1 1/2 days, and even though he stayed to himself most of the time, Celia was very patient with him, not forcing him to socialize if he didn’t want to, and always making sure he ate, drank water and went outside to the bathroom. She put my mind to ease since Winston isn’t outgoing and I highly recommend her to others. Thanks so much, Celia!”
“Andrea has been an absolutely amazing dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly someone who genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Every time I’ve trusted her with my dog, I’ve felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. 🐶”
“This is the second time Kaina stays with Carmelo. Kaina was very happy to see Carmelo. He sent daily updates and pictures of Kaina, she definitely had a great stayed. Thank you Carmelo!”
“Ashely and her family love on our dogs just as their own, and take such great care of them! We love seeing the pictures of all the fun they have while we are away. Sweetest family!”
“Leon and Rebecca are Pepper’s surrogate parents. They take such good care of Pepper when we travel and couldn’t ask for a better place for him to stay when we are away.”

Khyra was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Jack and treated him like he was her own. She was very compassionate, attentive, and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jack looked so happy and comfortable, and it was clear he really enjoyed his time with her. When we picked him up, he was relaxed and well cared for. I truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. I would definitely book with Khyra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Jack! ❤️🐾
Britteney was amazing. She took care of my dogs like if it was hers I can tell they were doing good because of the pictures she would send me all the time. I love the fact that she kept me posted on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend her and definitely use her service again.
I am so happy that I found Fay (Yufei)! She really does treat your dog like her own ❤. She kept me updated with pics and videos from morning to night throughout the entire visit, so I knew exactly what was going on with my pup. Your dog will get a lot of exercise, they will be fed according to your instructions, they will enjoy movie nights, and of course, get lots of love. Even as we were leaving, she had repeat customers dropping off their pups and the doggies were all excited to see her - a sign that she is a wonderful dog sitter. I will be using Fay for all my boarding and daycare needs from now on 🥰

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 Arcola 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 Arcola 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 Arcola.
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 Arcola. 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 Arcola 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.
