“Karen was such an amazing dog sitter for our pup. We recently adopted Piper and were nervous to leave her for our trip but Karen provided a comfortable, loving and welcoming environment for our girl. We recieved regular updates and photos/videos of how she was doing throughout the stay and would definitely recommend Karen to friends and family, and trust her with our girl for future trips when we need a dogsitter. 10/10 would book again, thank you Karen!”
“Anna was great, and my dog loved her. Anna sent updates on their daily (short, dog is old) walks and shenanigans. I definitely recommend her and will be back.”
“I just got a new puppy and was so nervous to leave her for 5 days while I was away on a last minute work trip. Priscilla was fantastic!! I got daily photos without asking and Pearl was happy and excited to be there. Will definitely be rebooking! Thank you so much!”
“We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Abel and Alisa! They took amazing care of our dog, Tux, from July 27 through August 2 while we were away. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving and capable hands. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious Tux was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of their family. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly well cared for. If you're looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters, we wholeheartedly recommend Abel and Alisa. We would absolutely book with them again. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Tux!”
“Grey and his partner were wonderful. My dog was well cared for and loved, and I already booked her next visit with them. My dog doesn't need special accommodations, but they were prepared for extra time, yard time (she loved that), sleep on furniture, etc. They also communicated well for meet/greet, drop off, pick up, and the times they were in the house - with pictures. My pup is heading back for my next out of town trip, because she liked staying there.”
“We have used Amy a handful of times for our dog, Ollie. She sends update pics/videos and is very communicative. We completely trust her and know Ollie is always in good hands.”
“Rene is absolutely the sweetest!! Kleio got so spoiled during her sleepover. She got to play w new toys, the hula hoop and even sleep on her bed!! Rene kept me updated and got a lot of pictures!! Thank you Rene”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with my Xander! She sent plenty of photos and updates daily that reassured me that Xander was doing well. Xander also needs daily medication and is on a special diet, and she handled it all perfectly. I would be more than happy to leave Xander with her again if I need to leave town!”
“Ann was absolutely wonderful. She left me at ease with my high energy pup. She made sure to send pictures and keep my updated throughout the day on their adventures. I would highly recommend and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands 💖 Grateful for her help!”
“Thomas and Shelley did an amazing job looking after Zoe. Sent updates and pictures the whole time. Would absolutely love to have them take care of her again.”
“Kara was amazing! Our little pup M.C. had the best time! She communicates and sends lots of photos so you know your baby is having fun! Would definitely rebook anytime!”
“Kailey was incredibly well mannered and extremely attentive to all my dog’s needs. She kept me up to date with pictures and videos and her personal pets seemed to be extremely friendly and gentle. Everyone and anyone should feel comfortable leaving their fur babies with her. Thanks again, Kailey!”
“Jessyca was wonderful! She took great care of our chiweenie. She took him on lots of walks & gave him lots of care & love and sent us lots of pictures & videos. I would definitely recommend Jessica & leave our dog in her care again!”
“Agustin was amazing! I was provided with an easy drop off and quick communication. Zeus was well taken care of and i received pictures and videos of his playful stay and walks. Agustin was very patient and accommodating to my pets needs. Great caregiver 5/5”

Mac and Mo truly enjoy their stays with Marti and Trixie. Marti alerted me to Mo licking her paws excessively and seemed itchy. I was able to pick up some meds and Mo has quickly settled down. I appreciate Marti paying attention to my dogs as if there were her own. Thanks, Marti! They are enjoying the cooler weather and so am I.
Another great stay with Dorthy! I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl with her again, and she took such good care of her. Dorthy kept me updated with photos throughout the stay and was once again super flexible and easy to communicate with. It’s such a relief having someone I can trust to care for my pup while I’m away. We will definitely be booking with Dorthy again!
Yvonne has watched our dog for two overnight stays with one being for over two weeks. She is very proactive with communication and responds quickly. I loved the photos and updates she sent while we are away - providing us comfort that our dog was well cared for. We trust Yvonne and recommend her.
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!
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!
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.

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.
96% of sitters in Balcones Heights 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Balcones Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 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.
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.
