“Ashley is my go to dog boarding gal! The whole family love taking care of my goldendoodle and she goes out of her way to make the process easy for me. She responds quickly to messages and honestly, I recommend her to everyone!”
“Paul was wonderful about keeping me updated as this was my first time ever using Rover and I was very anxious about it. And when my flight home was affected he was great about understanding those changes. If he is free the next time I need care for Anakin I would pick him every time!”
“Arianne was so caring and compassionate with our dog! She kept our dog while we were away for a weekend. She kept communication with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and texts updating us on how our dog was doing and asking questions when needed. She was very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors, as well. She is quick to respond and was very accommodating us, even though we contacted her with less than a week before our trip. I highly recommend her!”
“She was amazing! She took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. She was so sweet, caring, and easy to communicate with. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Joy is everything a furry companion parent would want and hope for, AND MORE. Enzo loved her at first sight - he quickly sniffed out her genuine pet loving personality and wisdom. We will definitely be repeat, repeat, and repeat again clients. THANK YOU Joy!! ?”
About: I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter with previous experience caring for pets and house sitting. I’ve been around animals my whole life and understand the importance of following routines, being attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and am used to planning my day around feeding, walks, and making sure pets get the attention they need. My schedule is flexible, and I’m very responsible about showing up on time and following the routine each owner provides. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m also very respectful of the home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. Most importantly, I give each pet plenty of attention, patience, and care.
About: Hi, I’m Marcela! I’m a dedicated animal lover who treats all pets like family. Patient, observant, communicative and detail-oriented, I’ll follow your routines to a T and would love to send plenty of photo updates. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes as well as farm animals. I spent over 3 years living on a ranch with my family, and that’s where I learned most of my responsibility and animal care. Day to day I helped with feeding, watering, cleaning, and checking on animals like goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. I am currently staying at home 24/7, so your pet’s safety and happiness will be my #1 priority. I am currently working a part-time job, usually working morning shifts so I have a lot of time to take care of your babies! I do not have a fenced yard but I would make sure your fur baby gets its daily outside-time as needed and/or requested
“Gisella was absolutely wonderful! She accommodated me last minute and took EXCELLENT care of my dog. She took photos and kept me updated daily. Her daughters were really sweet with my dog as well. I will be recommending her to my friends and family, she’s the best!”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I am happy to adjust my care to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I have a Boston Terrier of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, exercise, and giving pets plenty of affection. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to details, whether that means going on walks, keeping pets on their normal feeding schedules, providing playtime, or simply giving them extra company and cuddles. I am also willing to care for puppies and senior pets and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners. My goal is to give every pet the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own dog! I am currently working part-time as a private basketball trainer so I have a lots of extra time while also attending A&M to obtain my degree in sports management! I live in an apartment so no backyard but don’t let that shy you away!! My dog and I walk 5 miles daily and we have a dog park just down the stairs!! We absolutely love staying active and this is just another way to help your fur babies active while you’re away!!
About: So, I usually volunteer at animal shelters so my experience taking care of dogs comes mostly from that, and I want to be a veterinarian so I’ve also had some experience with shadowing, and can usually see when things are wrong. I will say I’ve never done dog sitting but I’ve had a dog before and currently a cat, so I do know how to take care of animals. Hello, I’m currently home for summer, and I have pretty much every day free besides volunteering at a shelter in the morning from 9-11. Most of the time I have the dog, I’ll most likely spend walking them. I do love doing dog walks, but I’ll also always make sure they’re well fed, and well cared for, and always have water.
About: Growing up we have always had pets. We have always had dogs, but we have also had cats, and even goats. This has given me experience caring for pets of many kind.

On my off days I will be around all day to take give your dog a full day of attention I provide the attentive care necessary to keep your pet safe. I have plenty of experience walking pets on leash, and taking care of pets.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Cross 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 Cross 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 Cross.
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 Cross. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Cross 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.
