“Communication was absolutely impeccable from start to finish, and I always felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. She truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. It’s clear that Shelley genuinely care about the dogs she looks after. I highly recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog daycare!”
“Eliza was just simply fantastic. I found myself in a position where I needed to have another sitter for the boys literally the last minute. She replied almost instantly and really helped me out. When I arrived I simply knew that she cared deeply about providing the best experience for my furry family members. Highly recommend her and I will not hesitate to rebook in the future. Thank you again”
“Jennifer is always so good with our dogs. We wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else. Always appreciate her thoughtfulness to keep us updated on how they’re doing and her loving spirit. Highly recommended her services!!”
“Tracy was great with our dog Bo. He now has a new extended family. Her communication was great she is very responsive and kept in touch with us while we were out of town through pictures and text. Really 5 stars are not enough for the attention and care she provided while taking care of Bo. I would highly recommend Tracy and will use her again.”
“Bailee’s communication is phenomenal! She responds fairly quick and gave us constant picture updates of our fur baby’s progress. Ozzy seemed to have made himself at home and had fun there because he came back sleepy, which is good for us! :)”
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. He was so happy and comfortable with her that I don’t think he even missed me! 😂🐾 I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💕”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Heather! She’s our go-to sitter whether we’re gone for the day or away for two weeks. We completely trust her with our precious fur baby, and it’s clear our dog feels right at home with her and her family. Thank you, Heather, for always keeping us updated with sweet pictures while we’re away. We’re so grateful for you! ❤️”
About: I am currently a student of the University of Texas Arlington working on my Master’s degree in Social Work and I am hoping to make some extra money to help pay for some of the college expenses. A few fun facts about me are that I love playing sports, having movie nights, and cooking. Growing up, I had a ton of animals and currently I have one golden retriever who loves to play and make new friends. I love spending time loving and playing with dogs and I believe this is a great opportunity for me to be able to do that, make a little extra money, and get some exercise in as well. We love walking around our neighborhood and going to the park! I am currently a stay at home mom to my 10 month old daughter. I am available throughout the day and weekends and can definitely work with a flexible schedule to accommodate. When the pets are in my home, they are allowed to roam free and play all they want as long as they are potty trained. In the clients home I respectfully abide by the owners instructions left for me.
“Shelby was amazing, our puppy was so sad to leave her house! My pup had a great time and we were updated with pictures and videos and she was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. She always checked in with us about other puppies coming into the home and made sure they were safe! Strongly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Kimberly! She took excellent care of my dog and sent daily updates on how things were going. She was wonderful to work with and has excellent communication. I drove an hour out of our way to specifically use Kimberly and I would gladly do it again! Thanks Kimberly!”
“Jordan is amazing! She kept me updated with daily updates and pictures. And my dog was so happy with her and her family. My dog was very well cared for with Jordan. She definitely takes care of your dog as if they were her own. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

“Duke came back very happy. Joe was very helpful. He sent me several pics and videos of Duke playing and walking. I 💯 recommend him for anyone. He did a wonderful job of calming my hyper pup. Thanks again!!”
“Zorro's time with Sarah was incredible! He had a wonderful time. She was very conscientious to make him feel loved and comfortable. Sarah knew this was his first experience with a new sitter and sent pictures and videos to show how happy and content he was. His appetite was good and he slept well through each night. I highly recommend Sarah and will schedule with her again when needed.”

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 Big Sandy 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 Big Sandy.
<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 Big Sandy 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.
