“Danielle is an absolute lifesaver!! She took care of my dog last minute and even went above and beyond by keeping her overnight when my flight was unexpectedly delayed by five hours. She kept me updated, made sure my pup was comfortable, and showed so much care and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their pet!”
“Lillian took great care of our sweet Daisy! She sent me photos every day & commented on how much fun they were having. Her dog Gio seems to have gotten along well with Daisy. I definitely recommend Lillian to care for your pup in her home!”
“Roy was great! Our girl usually takes a little while to warm up to people but after 2 days she was happy for his attention and having a blast! He was very patient with her and gave her time to warm up to the rest of the group as well. We'd be more than happy to book with him again.”
“Cameron is the ABSOLUTE BEST! This was my first time using Rover and my first time hiring a sitter, and she calmed all my fears. She provided me with updates, pictures, and videos whenever I wanted to check on my dog. He had a great time with Cameron!”
“Camisha and Omari are amazing! Last week I went on my first trip without my pup and this was my very first time using rover as well. My nerves were all over the place, but Camisha and Omari sent pics and vids the entire time I was away and that put me at ease. I would recommend anyone to book with them, they’re super professional, have great communication, and most importantly they are great with dogs. Thanks for all that you do. I will see you soon for Tyler’s next stay 🙂.”
“Anayely was great with our dog Brisket. He’s a bit anxious, but Anayely was great with him from the start. We got updates and cute photos and Anayely was very flexible when our flight got delayed coming back. I would highly recommend her.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received! From the start, she was attentive, professional, and truly compassionate. She sent frequent photo updates, followed all of my care instructions, including food preferences and tips for managing my dog’s anxiety and remained open to any suggestions I had. My dog seemed so comfortable and happy during her stay, and I especially loved that she had a friendly companion to play with! The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming. It’s clear this sitter genuinely loves what she does. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: Hi! My name's Samantha, and you should hire me for your pet needs! I live in the Oak Lawn area and work from home most days. I have a smedium dog, Leo who will play with and keep your pup company. I can walk your dog morning, afternoon and night, and even pet sit while you're away!

“Great experience with Simone! Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated all the pictures and updates throughout the stay. She was also very flexible and understanding when my flight was delayed, which made everything so much less stressful. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi, I'm Destiny! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover, proud golden retriever mom, and someone who genuinely believes pets are family! I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry best friend is in loving, reliable hands while you're away. As a dog mom myself, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, quirks, and favorite ways to be loved. Whether your pup is full of energy and ready for an adventure or prefers cuddles and a cozy afternoon, I'm happy to meet them where they're at! I'm naturally patient, attentive, responsible, and detail-oriented. My background in project management means I'm great at keeping schedules, following instructions, communicating clearly, and making sure no little detail gets overlooked. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled (with your permission, of course!). I'll treat them like one of my own, keep you updated with plenty of pictures, and make sure you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶💕 I work from home and I start each morning around 7:30 AM with an hour-long walk with my golden retriever, Waffles, followed by a little fun at the dog park on our way home. Once we're back, it's fresh water, treats, and some well-deserved nap time! Around lunchtime, we head out for another shorter walk and potty break. We also have access to a convenient turf yard and dog wash station, making it easy to keep pups clean, comfortable, and happy. I love having a consistent routine while also being flexible to each dog's individual needs, energy levels, and personality. Whether it's extra walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting some love, there's always room in my day for another furry friend! I treat every pet like family! In my home, pets enjoy plenty of love, walks, playtime, and a cozy place to relax. We also have a turf yard and dog wash station!
About: I’ve had a dog for more than half my life. I am trusted among neighbors and friends to dog sit. I love dogs and when I have time I like to take shelter dogs out for the day. I have helped train puppies, taken care of older dogs and medium/ larger sized dogs too. I currently work hybrid, so I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. So, extended weekends would work best with my work schedule. It gives me time to walk dogs, check-in on dogs, or take care of them at home I have an apartment, so I have eyes on them constantly. I can crate them if you would like. I also live close to multiple parks and trails that I could walk on. My area is very dog friendly.
“Loved that Bella could be with kids and feel at home during her stay. Clean house, friendly family. Followed my instructions well. Very responsive and communication about Bella's needs was excellent. Thanks!”
“My dog had a wonderful time at Katie and Peter's! They did a great job of keeping me informed throughout his entire stay and sent me photos. I can tell they really made a point to make him feel comfortable and at home. 10/10 stay!”
“Matthew did great! I received plenty of pics and updates. Both drop off and pick up was smooth. Benny seemed to get along as well, meet and greet went well and during drop off Benny didn't hesitate to go with him. Will be reaching out again!”
“First time using Rover and hit a homerun with Melissa G. and family! My 2 dogs were treated like part of their family and were happy & healthy after their one week stay. The whole experience from beginning to end was easy and comfortable. I whole heartedly recommend Melissa G. and will definitely utilize her services again.”
“I left my puppy with Shuai while I was on a trip, and I couldn’t be happier with the care my pup received. He took great care of my puppy — walking him every morning and evening, playing with him, and making sure he felt comfortable and happy the whole time. His apartment is very clean, and he sent us videos and texts many times throughout the day to keep us updated and reassure us. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible boarder!”

My wife and I were extremely happy with how well Madison took care of our dog Ruby. Madison was amazing with Ruby while we were away for our wedding weekend. She sent constant updates with photos, so we never had to wonder how Ruby was doing, which meant we could actually relax and enjoy one of the biggest weekends of our lives. Ruby was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved her time with Madison. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking her again!
My pups, who are very attached to me (it's mutual), literally RUN into Justin and Brent's home with zero hesitation. The guys send TONS of photos. Which is exactly what I want as a nervous dog mom. When I come back to get them, the pups come running back out, super excited to see me but also you can tell they had a nice time-- AKA: They are happy, like kids coming home from a great time at sleep away camp. This is why we keep using Justin and Brent. The pups are safe and content and I love that.
Tristan was fantastic with Laffy during his 5-day stay! She was upfront and transparent from the very beginning, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Both drop-off and pick-up were completely seamless, and her communication was consistent and timely the entire time I was away. I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent throughout the week. It was great seeing Laffy so well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Tristan again!
Laila was the absolute BEST. My 11-year old lab got extremely sick early on in his stay and Laila not only took him to the emergency vet but also 3 follow up appointments with his primary doctor until I could get home to him. She was super communicative and I knew he was in such good hands. I cannot say better things about Laila. Highly recommend!
Stacy is an amazing sitter! My anxious pitbull mix can be picky sometimes but Mango was relaxed and had so much fun! Stacy kept me updated and sent pics everyday. Stacy is very easygoing and easy to talk to about scheduling and doggy needs. Will definitely be coming back to Stacy!
Peter did an awesome job! He will actually play with your dog and give them plenty of time to run around outdoors to get their energy out. He gave me consistent updates, which made me feel better about leaving my sweet puppy boy for a week while I couldn’t care for him due to an emergency medical procedure. 10/10 will book again. Thanks, Peter!
Jirah did an outstanding job boarding my high-energy, 8-month-old Australian Shepherd for two nights, and I'll absolutely be using her again. Boarding has always made me anxious, so I'm very selective about who watches my dogs, and I was especially nervous about leaving my young Aussie for the first time. Jirah put me at ease the moment I met her. She's an absolute delight, and I knew right away my pup was in good hands. Her own dog, Gilligan, is super friendly, and the two of them loved playing together. Jirah also had fun activities set up, like a ball pit my dog had a blast in. I got to see it all in the many videos she sent throughout the stay. When I came to pick her up, it was obvious how happy and comfortable she'd been. My dog clearly adored Jirah!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
95% of sitters in Dallas 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 Dallas 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 Dallas.
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 Dallas. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Dallas 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.
