Alyssa took such great care of our Murphy! He’s a very shy dog, but he warmed up to her so quickly. She sent us updates and photos throughout his stay, and he looked so happy. It’s such a good feeling knowing Murphy is in great hands with her. We’ll definitely book with her again!
Mariana and her family always take such amazing care of my dog Ronnie! Whenever I pick her up she always has a fun new accessory (this time she got bows and a cute Halloween bandanna 🥹) I also love the photo updates they always send me of her while I’m gone. Highly recommend Mariana if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter for your pet!
Stefanie is awesome! Her home is warm and inviting and you can tell she truly cares for animals. She creates an amazing environment and is very attentive. I really appreciated how responsive she was and how kept me up to date with how things were going. I was able to relax and know that my doggy was in good hands. We are definitely coming back to see Stefanie!
I am pretty sure I have found my designated pup sitter! For the past couple years, I had been lucky enough to have a go-to sitter for my 2 pitties who knew exactly how to take care of them until they recently moved away. Came across Jon's profile....met him....saw the house and his lil fur babies and felt a little better but still nervouse. Maaaan....Jon did wonders for my 2 doofuses! Got video & pic updates, constant communication, his pups loved my guys and at the end....my 2 idiots were tired out which is a win for me! ABSOLUTELY will be booking with Jon again!
Yesenia has once again come through for us in a pinch. She is amazing with our pooch. She’s so attentive and loving. She sends daily texts updates and pictures. Our dog is so comfortable with Yesenia. This visit included no other dogs, so our dog felt extra special. We are thrilled to have found Yesenia on Rover and we’ll continue to use her services for sure!
Hailey was amazing with Elmore while I was overseas on a trip! He absolutely loved her and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. She was incredibly communicative prior to and throughout the stay, kept me updated and was also so helpful and flexible when we had a few logistic things to figure out along the way. It made being away from him so much easier, and she made sure my place was clean and tidy for when I got home from my trip! I’d absolutely recommend Hailey and will definitely be booking her again!!
Dolly loves staying with Emma, Fletcher and their pack! I received lots of cute pictures and videos, which always give me such peace of mind when I'm traveling. Dolly had the best time playing with their dogs Ivan, Scout and Thor, she looked so happy in all the photos which made me so happy!
This was my first time leaving my dog with someone we didn’t know and it could not have been a better experience. Michelle was very proactive sending photos and videos, and I could tell from day one that my girl felt right at home with her. Rumi was incredibly well taken care of and I won’t hesitate to book care with Michelle again.
Marc took excellent care of my 2 pups! They really enjoyed both snuggling indoors on the couch, and being able to explore and play in the large backyard. We were updated daily with photos and felt very comfortable with them in his care. Thank you soooo much! We would love to board them with you in the future.

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 Colton 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 Colton.
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 Colton 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.
