“Max was awesome! He sent us plenty of pictures of our pup and assured us that our pup was in a loving home. We'll be sure to book Max for all future bookings!”
“Fernando is amazing! He took care of my puppy exceptionally, and provided great care. I would recommend Fernando to anyone, and will definitely book with him again.”
“Our pups had a fabulous weekend enjoying all the activities Abel and Alisa had for them. They always have such a fun, enriching time. They came back happy and clean! We recommend these sitters to anyone with a small dog. The communication and photos are amazing!!”
“Breanna is a top notch dog caregiver. She watched my annoying little dog during my last trip and I experienced zero issues. Would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a responsible and friendly person to care for your pets!!”
“Juan did an amazing job caring for Nova while I was away for five nights. First he had me bring her over to meet his dog Frenchie to make sure they would get along well. He was accommodating for her drop off and pick up, and sent frequent photos and video of Nova at play and walking. I was able to enjoy my trip assured she was being cared for by a loving family. I highly recommend Juan for your pet sitting needs.”
“Jackie and her family treated our baby dog girl as their own. Maggie Mae was so happy and loved while in Jackie’s home. We could tell by the look on her face in all the great pictures and videos Jackie shared while we were away. Would highly recommend Jackie in a heartbeat 💓”
“Great sitter! Communicates very well and lets me know how Felix is doing every day. Very caring and understands if I need to extend Felix stay due to emergency. Jennifer is very dependable and Felix is comfortable being in her home. Thank you Jennifer!”
“We absolutely love to use Megan when we have to go out of town. Our golden retriever has such a great time with her dogs and gets all the love he needs while we are away. Megan is sure to keep us updated with text/pictures over the whole span of his stay.”
“Ariana is amazing and truly an animal lover! We needed a sitter for our two medium‑large mixed male dogs, and she made time for a meet‑and‑greet before our trip to make sure our boys would get along with her cat (the chillest cat ever!) and to show us around. She was very flexible with timing and quick to respond. As I walked her through all of our dogs quirks, she picked things up right away — you can tell she has tons of experience. While we were away, Ariana sent consistent updates every morning and afternoon, always with the best pictures. Our family was busy nonstop on vacation, so I couldn’t always reply right away, but she still kept the updates coming. Her messages and photos were the highlight of our day and always made us stop for a moment to laugh at the stories she shared. She set a great routine for the dogs and let us know she made sure they were tired out before bedtime. They got plenty of playtime, and she even gave them with treats and delicious food toppers. Our older dog (8 years old) had some separation anxiety the first night, and Ariana immediately asked for suggestions and offered thoughtful ideas of her own. By the end of the week, he was doing so much better. Ariana mentioned she’s been dog‑sitting for a long time, and it definitely shows. I think our older dog was practically asking her to let him back inside her house when we picked them up! She even sent them home with goodie bags — they got so excited when they smelled them, almost like they knew they were from her! They had a great vacation too! 😁 We’re truly grateful for Ariana!!”
“As always Sophie did great with Karen!! Karen is very patient with all of our “little old lady dachshund’s” quirks and problems!! She takes really good care of Sophie—just as if she was her dog. We get pictures, videos and updates to let us know how Sophie is doing. All in all, Karen just does a perfect job and we really appreciate her being so caring with Sophie.”
“Josh is great! Great at communication, updates, and quality care. One of our dogs is deaf, very skittish with people, can be a wild card, and sometimes… a little “bitey” 🥴 I’m always nervous about leaving that one with others but Josh has watched her 2x now and has done so well with her! Definitely our go to pet sitter!”
“Britney has checked in on my dog since he was about 4 months old. She’s amazing with my wild/high energy dog. I recently boarded him with her and she was beyond accommodating, great communicator, and over all I trust her with my Frankie. Frankie loves her so much and now has new besties with Britney’s dogs ❤️”
“Agnes has done a great job dog sitting for us on a few occasions. She is quick to communicate and always sends picture updates. She responds to the individual needs of our dogs and I have recommended her to friends looking for a dog sitter.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our experience was great. A huge part of this was because of Katy. We had just adopted Milo who is 4 months old, and we had a preplanned trip and needed to find someone who could watch him and most importantly spend quality time with him. Katy provided exceptional service. She knew all the ins and outs of taking care of a puppy. She sent daily pictures of Milo enjoying his vacation with Katy and her children. It was a huge form of peace knowing that Milo was taken care of thoughtfully. Katy provides exceptional service. We HIGHLY recommend Katy. She loves and cares about the pets she looks after.”
“Evgeniya took care of our delicate pug during an extremely cold week and kept him from getting sick in the freezing temperatures by bundling him up and making him extra warm and comfortable. The pictures were nonstop and such a great way to see all he was up to and ease our minds. This is the second time he has stayed here and he came home really happy. Thank you so so much!”
“Mollie is the pet sitter extraordinaire. Our dog was a little nervous going to a new home so Mollie suggested a drop off routine that reduced our dogs anxiety. Ingenious! Mollie focuses her time and attention on ensuring our dog’s needs were met and making sure she was comfortable physically and emotionally. She’s simply the BEST! She sends pictures and videos of daily activities, sniffy walks, and play time. You simply couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Mollie. We will definitely be rebooking again for our next vacation.”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving Angelo with someone we didn’t know, and I was pretty nervous. Lorena exceeded all expectations!! She was so nice and enthusiastic and can tell that she just loves dogs. She took the time to meet us before Angelo’s stay with her. Lorena gave me multiple updates a day with lots and lots of pictures which I appreciated so much! She also spoiled him and took him on multiple walks a day. Angelo absolutely loved Lorena and her family. 🥰 I highly recommend Lorena and we will definitely reach out to her again when we need a sitter for Angelo. 💛”
“Kelly was fantastic! You can tell she is an animal lover. Her facility (home) was perfect for feeding, exercise and sleep for our pup. She sent us pictures every day & let us know how things were going. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Wonderful service. This was our first experience and it was very smooth and easy. Dusty had a great time and made new friends. We couldn't ask for more - Lisa and her family were great. We'll definitely use them again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balcones Heights
It looked as though Thor settled right in and made himself at home! I’m so thankful he was the only one there as he does not like to share space with other animals. After the excitement of returning home he relaxed and was acting normal again very quickly which we are so thankful for. Thanks for all the update pictures to ease our minds!
Felicia is very conscientious and responsible, so I feel confident that Toby is safe and well cared for. Felicia is also very sweet and easy to work with. Sometimes pet lovers like pets better than people, but Felicia is kind to both pets -and- their owners! I have already asked her to take care of Toby a second time due to the recent storm. She accepted right away, even with very last minute notice.
Marti was fantastic with Mac and Mo, two tightly bonded Scottish Terriers. I could not have been more pleased. Her updates were wonderful. The pictures showed them adjusting well to a new environment and another dog. I vary much appreciated her kindness with my little friends.
Alana was fantastic with our dog, Jane! We really appreciated that she personalized Jane’s stay since she can be a little nervous in new situations. Also, the many picture updates (including a cute photo shoot) put us as ease to know Jane was having a great time. Jane can’t wait to go back!
Great match! Jimmy had a wonderful time. He came home happy, confident, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’d absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable sitter! 🐾
Ana took great care of my sweet Buddy! It was his first time to have anyone watch him. Ana texted photos and updates from time to time. She allowed me to bring his kennel, blanket, bed, and toys! I think he was as comfortable as he could be while being in a new place without his family! Thank you Ana! I'll book you again when I take my next trip!
Jessyca was absolutely amazing with our dog, Ellie! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew Ellie was in loving and capable hands. Jessyca treated Ellie like she was part of her own family, giving her so much love, attention, and excellent care. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile every day. It was clear that Ellie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Jessyca went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for everything she did. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional to care for their pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Balcones Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Balcones Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Balcones Heights 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 Balcones Heights.
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.
You and your Balcones Heights 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.
