“She took wonderful care of my pup! And her kids are so sweet with him, they even made him a card~ She also took wonderful photos of Jay to keep me updated. I was very grateful that Sylvia was super lenient with the last minute push-back pick up time. When Jay got back home, he was so tired and went right to bed. I'm sure he spent an awesome time playing around and being well taken care of~ 10/10 would recommend!”
“Gabriela and Thomas are fantastic! They are our go-to sitters for our puppy Ripley, who is jumping up and down with excitement when we bring him to their house, and usually whimpering with sadness when we have to bring him home. They are extremely responsive and accommodating and have been lifesavers for us on more than one occasion. We don't know what we'd do without them!”
About: “I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I am patient, responsible, loving, and always treat every pet as if they were my own.” I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available during the week and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care in a safe and comfortable environment.
About: I’ve spent the at least 10 years caring for dogs of all ages, from tiny puppies learning the ropes to seasoned seniors who just want a cozy nap and some love. I've rescued a few puppers and ended up keeping 2! I’ve helped with basic training, puppy routines, and plenty of playtime in between! I treat every pup like my own — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or keeping up with training, your dog will feel right at home. (Currently a dog mom to 1, 8 year old lab mix rescue). Currently working from home with a very flexible schedule! 7am-5pm I may have a few meetings with tons of breaks. I typically do two long walks a day (30 min each) and at least 6-8 potty breaks throughout the day. I like letting your pet tell me what they need in terms of outdoor visits. I like to listen to dog parents and stay within your recommendation! My goal is to make sure your babies are as comfortable as possible.
“It was a pleasure to have Tran & Anh as our pet sitter. They were very nice to our pet. Fast response. Always keep in touch with us throughout the day with pics and videos. Highly recommended!”
About: At this time, I am currently only accepting SMALL BREEDS for boarding. Hi, I’m Amy! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I share my home with my sweet (and spoiled!) 6-year old trained Rottweiler, Zara, who has taught me so much about understanding dog body language, and making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart is not only my genuine love for animals, but also my background in healthcare. Working in this field has made me reliable, detail oriented, patient, and attentive qualities that naturally carry over into pet care. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, noticing small behavior changes, or giving extra comfort and reassurance, I care for every pet like they’re my own. One thing I prioritize most is making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. We typically go on 3–5 walks a day, and I always make sure your dog gets their dose of sunshine, fresh air, sniffing time, and grass time. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated, not just cooped up indoors.🙂 Depending on the dog and owner preferences, we sometimes go on fun little outings too ⭐️ Starbucks 💚 pup cup runs, PetSmart trips, or even walks through Lowe’s when the weather is nice and the environment is pet-friendly. I truly enjoy making dogs feel included, engaged, and cared for. 🙂💖 When the weather doesn’t permit extended outdoor time, we switch to indoor enrichment and cozy downtime. We’ll spend time indoors playing fetch, relaxing, and watching movies together until the weather clears up, while still going outside for shorter potty walks and fresh air breaks as needed. I also prioritize structure and safety in my home environment. Zara has her own separate section of the house, and all dogs are kept on a consistent schedule for walks, potty breaks, meals, rest, and individual outside time. I do not introduce untrained dogs to Zara. If your dog is well-trained, calm, and socialized, playtime with Zara may be considered upon request and approval to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone. 😊 Experience: • At this time, I am currently only accepting SMALL BREEDS for boarding. • Patient and gentle with senior pets, including slow walks, medications, and extra TLC. • Comfortable caring for special needs pets with unique diets, routines, or extra support needs. • Experienced in reading dog body language and adjusting care to each pet’s comfort level and personality. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, exercised, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I recently graduated and am currently finishing my last 3 online prerequisites before applying to the RN program. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be home throughout the day with the pets in my care. I typically wake up around 5:30–6:00 AM to study, then start the day by getting the dogs on schedule for breakfast, potty breaks, walks, and outdoor time. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and on a consistent routine throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Environment I take pet safety very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours. At home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of space for play and rest. I supervise all interactions and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe areas. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines closely—from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensuring everything stays safe, clean, and organized. Because I work from home, I can provide attentive care throughout the day, and my healthcare experience helps me notice small changes in behavior or health. You can trust that your pet will be happy, safe, and loved under my care. 🐶💛
“Great experience! Most doggy care places open too late or close too soon for our work schedule. She was able to accommodate our puppy last minute, with our schedule! Our puppy had fun with other doggies. We receive multiple pictures and videos! Great location for people living/working in the med center, downtown, midtown area!!”
About: I’ve had dogs around me from childhood through adulthood. I feel like dogs are some of the most loyal creatures on earth that will love you unconditionally. Watching and identifying their various personalities, has been intriguing for me. My dog and I spend a lot of time together. We enjoy walks through Terry Hersey Park a few times a week. We also take the opportunity for him to socialize with others, once a week, at Bill Archer Dog Park. With that being said, even though I don’t currently have a yard, there is plenty of opportunity for any dog I am watching to enjoy taking walks and play time in the outdoors. I currently work remotely, so I have the time to care for your fur baby while you are away. I am looking forward to caring for and getting to know your fur baby! Working from home allows me the opportunity to watch and care for dogs on a weekly basis. Every dog that I board temporarily becomes my responsibility and receive the same level of care as my own dog. Due to limited space, I'm only able to board 1 or 2 dogs at a time. Even though I would love to watch more, it's rewarding to be able give the proper amount of needed attention to each dog.
“Shamareya was extremely communicative and very understanding of my dog’s specific potty training challenges, which I know many others may have been hesitant to take on. Her home is beautiful, spacious, and offers ample indoor and outdoor areas for dogs to enjoy. My dog came home exactly as I dropped him off, which reassured me he was in great hands throughout his stay. Highly recommend Shamareya!!”
“Annet and her family is the only one I use for my large, older dog. He LOVES going to them for daycare and boarding. He is an anxious shepherd mix and his stays here are always very relaxing for him and he is always very happy to go to their home. I HIGHLY recommend them.”
“Nothing but gratitude for Alen and his wife. Our young Belgian Mallinois was with them for a week and they did an amazing job from start to finish, keeping me posted the whole way. My pup was well cared for and adapted quickly- I was worried how he would do in a new environment, but these two are pros! If they can take care of a Belgian Mallinois, they can take care of anything!”
“Anna did a wonderful job looking after our sweet puppy! I was nervous about leaving my pup for the first time, but I needn't have been. She was well taken care of and Anna sent me lots of photos and was great at communicating how Indi was getting on. I would highly recommend Anna!”

“Daniela ha sido excelente con nuestra Tinker , ha estado al pendiente de ella , para que se sienta como en casa . Saca de su tiempo para jugar en el patio con Tinker . Estamos muy complacidos con su trabajo . 100 % recomendada .”
“This is our second time booking with Tori and Lilo loves her! Before ever booking with her, he’d never done any type of doggy day care before. He was a little shy on our first booking but warmed up to her by the end of his first day. By day three he was excited to see her when she came to pick him up. I just had my second booking and as soon as he saw her, Lilo practically jumped into her arms. He actually remembered her and was happy to see her. Tori makes sure to walk him as regularly as he needs and he always comes back happy. He’s a velcro dog and she doesn’t mind LOL. I’d never use Rover before booking with Tori, but am glad I found this app and her! She makes my little guy feel comfortable and safe!”
“We are so thankful for Scout’s time with Yaivy! This was her first time not with a family member since we got her in May, so we are all nervous about how it would go. Scout unfortunately had a few messy accidents, and not only was Yaivy gracious about, she cleaned Scout, the kennel, and her toys so she would be fresh & clean when we picked her up.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barker
Tran and Anh D took wonderful care of our dog Dudley, and we couldn't be happier! From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and reliable, communicating with us and putting our minds at ease. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they look after; Dudley came home happy and well taken care of. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will treat your pet like part of the family, we highly recommend Tran and Anh D to anyone in need of dog sitting services. We'll definitely be booking with them again!
She was so kind and understanding. We got a new pup that had been crated his whole life but we were going out of town just days later.. Stephanie helped potty train him, bathed him when he woke up covered in poop 😵💫 she kept me updated the entire time with pics and texts. We will be booked her for our next trip but with both doggos!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Barker commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.
