“HUSKY APPROVED!! I received constant communication along with photos. He was patient and kind with her that when she was dropped off she wanted to go with him! She went for frequent and long walks with his other dog so she made a best friend! Thank you, Rolland! I will be reaching out to you for doggy daycare!”


“We love having Milo stay with Andrea! He’s stayed with her family several times and always has so much fun. Her dog and Milo get along wonderfully and he’s even made friends with other dogs who come to stay. We get lots of pictures and she’s always very adaptable. I feel comfortable knowing Milo is safe, happy and cared for like family!”

“Thankful for Chayanne for helping board my dog, Juice, last minute. She was great with him, provided pictures/ updates and awesome communication. My dog was being hostile towards other dogs and she let me know right away for safety and further guidance, I appreciated that. Highly recommend!”

“Lacey is HOME away from home for Ollie! He gets so excited to be with her and her furry family! She always keeps us up to date with Ollie and sends videos and photos everyday. We 100% trust her with our furry child! ❤️”

“I was worried about leaving my 10wk ofd puppy with anyone for the first time, especially knowing there were other big dogs in the house, when he'd never really met any dogs before. BUT, to my VERY pleasant surprise, it proved to be one of the BEST days my baby ever had, as realized from the video sent to me while he was there. My pup ended up taking over the place; literally running around, jumping on, and over the big dogs who were sweet enough to tolerate his energetic l'il self? 🤐🤣 It was hilarious, and immediately put me at ease! Mr Chang was even kind enough to take him as a last minute booking as I knew no one, but trusted Rover from the past! I can't thank he, and his friend enough for accommodating us, and they deserve more than the 5 stars available! 🥰”
“Timmesha and Joe were amazing! I received photos, videos, and updates throughout Missy’s stay. Their family is wonderful and they welcome Missy as if she was their dog. Thank you again!”

“I cannot say enough great things! We had to go out of town for 5 days, and they took amazing care of my dog. From the updates and photos to the love and attention they gave him, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. When we picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and clearly treated like part of the family. It made being away so much less stressful. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby while we were away! 🐾❤️”

“Shelby loves staying with Janelle, who takes her for walks and gives her lots of attention. It is wonderful to have someone close by who takes such great care of our dog!”

“Thank you for taking care of our Zeus! I appreciate the daily photos for check in. She came to pick up and drop off Zeus which made everything easy with ZERO hassle. Kimberly, you did a great job and i will definitely be booking again. She responded very quickly and accepted my booking almost immediately.”

“Whitney was great! Super easy to book, no hassle at all. She gave good info and we felt comfortable with her watching our dog. She sent picture updates and we were able to relax on our trip knowing she was well taken care of.”

“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”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Thank you so much for watching Kai! You guys were amazing and help Kai to get comfortable. I was happy that Kai was in good hands as you were patient with him. I was kept informed with daily updates during his stay. ☺️ I will be booking in the future.”

“Lina was a great host for my large 100+ lb pup. She communicated well and ensured my dog was happy, safe and well attended to during his stay. I highly recommend her as a sitter.”

“We left our 1 year old Maltipoo with this loving family for a 1 week trip. We were kept well informed with daily pictures and videos which were a delight to see. Sydney their Australian Shepard was so gentle with our pup. Very thankful for their help in taking care of our loved one.”

“Silvia took great care of Shifu while we were out of town. As pet parents, we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Silvia went above and beyond, paying attention to Shifu's needs. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We loved all the pictures she sent of Shifu; they were lovely and comforting. It was clear to see that our dog was very much at home and relaxed in Silvia's care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arcola
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! ❤️🐾

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 🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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.
<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 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.
