“Brooke and Jeremy were absolutely fantastic with Joey! They welcomed him for the weekend and kept me completely at ease with their great communication and updates. I can’t thank them enough for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Scott was very communicative and easy going. Benny came back happy and tired from all the exercise Scott was able to give him. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Mike was so nice to work with. We were a bit nervous leaving our pup for so long, but Mike lived up to everything he promised about making Indy feel comfortable as soon as possible. He provided daily updates through pictures and videos and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely recommend working with Mike and hope to use him again!”
“thanks a million for your amazing care of my dog!!! Emanuel, made my time away stress-free, he sent me pictures an videos, making me feel that my dog was happy and in a safe place. thank you for your excellent service, we would definitely be back!!!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and caring for them has always been something I do with so much love. I currently have four dogs: two Yorkies, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a French Bulldog, so I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. Living with them every day has taught me how important it is to provide attention, patience, affection, and a safe environment. I am very familiar with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning, and daily care. I also understand that every dog is different and deserves to have their personality, habits, and routines respected. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love dogs and treat them like part of the family. When a dog is in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, safe, and never alone. I also want their owners to have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For me, caring for dogs is more than just a job—it is something I genuinely enjoy and something that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, so any dogs staying with me will have plenty of company, attention, and affection. I am available both during the week and on weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to match each dog’s feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule. It is very important to me that every dog feels comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. 🐶❤️ In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious house and a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can go outside, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home. They are welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that is part of their usual routine. I always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions so their pet can feel as calm, happy, and comfortable as possible. Since I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day, supervise their time outside, follow their feeding schedule, make sure they get enough rest, and provide plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Their safety and well-being are always my top priority. 🐶❤️
“Melinda was awesome! Her dogs are super sweet and she made our Charlie feel right at home, her and her family are great and were wonderful with our Charlie would definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again when we are back in town.”
“This was my second experience with this sitter and I have to say her constant care was amazing. She treated my dog Rosa as if it were her own pet. With her frequent updates, I was able to relax and enjoy my travels, knowing Rosa was in good hands.”
“Jennifer was so understanding, kind, and compassionate with my anxious senior dog. I used her for an overnight visit and my quickly felt comfortable at her home. I highly recommend her and hope to use her services again!”
About: To me, pet sitting is never just a job; it is a commitment to keeping your best friend safe, happy, and loved. I know how deeply difficult it is to leave your dog behind. That is why my primary goal is to provide a seamless "home away from home" experience where your pet becomes a cherished part of my family. With over six years of dedicated dog care experience and as a proud parent to my own friendly 3.5-year-old dog, I understand canine behavior and companionship deeply. Your pup will instantly have a built-in playmate and a comforting routine. Your pup will never be lonely here, as I am home full-time to provide constant care, attention, and companionship, meaning our guest dogs enjoy round-the-clock supervision and love from dedicated adult. I maintain a reliable, active routine where our dog, Bruno, enjoys a 20 to 30-minutes walk twice every day, and your dog will be happily included in all of our daily strolls. While I do not have a fenced yard, your dog will get plenty of outdoor exercise and socialisation. Inside, I offer an incredibly spacious layout designed for canine comfort. I have a dedicated separate room and a large, finished basement where guest dogs can freely play, run around, and sleep securely. To ensure a safe, healthy, and clean environment for our young toddler, our own dog, and your pup, I ask that all guest dogs be fully potty trained and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Beyond offering a fun environment, I bring peace of mind. I am highly experienced in administering oral medications, so you can rest assured that any specific healthcare routines your dog requires will be handled safely, accurately, and on time. Because we have a toddler, I maintain a very clean, structured, and safe home environment where all interactions between dogs and children are closely supervised. I treat every guest dog like a member of our own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and personalized care!
“Bella was wonderful. She was very professional and prompt with any communication and I believe she took good care of my senior dog. She has a nice backyard and takes time to allow the new dog to greet her dogs before putting them together She sent me photos and I could tell by his ears that he was comfortable there and she even wrapped him in a blanket when she thought her AC was too much for him. Thank you!”
“As a first time Rover user, Missy provided such a wonderful experience start to finish. She arranged a meet a greet prior to booking which allowed us to see how our dog interacted with her and the environment, provided numerous daily updates and photos while we were away, and returned a happy pup to us at pickup. Will definitely use her again for future needs!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my first Rover experience. My 2yo Golden Retriever is what the call a Velcro dog, following me everywhere and loving nothing more than a good cuddle. We tried kennels and while they were safe and well managed, my pup was simply anxious in a loud setting with limited contact. Tiffany was wonderful and warm providing plenty of playtime and affection throughout the week long stay. Photos and updates showed him playing happily in the yard and comfy on the sofa. I can’t say enough about the relief these updates gave me, allowing me to enjoy my time away with family. I highly recommend Tiffany and hope to request her again in the future.”
About: I’ve spent years providing attentive, hands-on care for the dogs and cats of friends and family. Whether it’s high-energy playtime and long walks for dogs or quiet companionship, feeding, and litter box care for cats, I treat every pet with the patience, safety, and affection they deserve. When your pets are with me, you can expect regular updates, daily photos, and peace of mind knowing they are receiving true family-style care while you’re away I am small business owner I mainly work for home and i have plenty of time to play with you pets. I am available all day every day to take care of your pets. I live very close to dog parks and walking trails so there wont be any shortage of outdoor activities and I have ample of room at home home for the zoomies.
“George did such a good job watching Milo! He was attentive to him being comfortable and communicated with me multiple times a day! I could tell Milo was taken care of very well! Would use him again!!”
“Tim was awesome with our dog, he helped keep her happy so we could have a stress free trip. He kept us updated and checked in often and was accommodating in every way! His dog is great with other dogs so she enjoyed all of the company.”

We feel fortunate that Reshma & Kangan are willing to invite our sensitive cavapoo Rosa into their home. She enjoys being there and is given such good care. Sometimes we can't take dog with us and when we can't, we can relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing Rosa is in the best of care.
Emmanuel was excellent. My boys, Finn and Rocky (both age 10), came back to me in great moods, happy and healthy. Emmanuel sent lots of photos with daily updates, and that REALLY helped put my mind at ease. Finnegan and Rocky were only away from me one other time in their lives, that was 9 years ago when they were puppies. I had a few moments of nervousness when I saw the yard was not enclosed (they are escape artists with harnesses and are used to a fenced-in yard, but Emmanuel was wonderful walking them on their leashes, and he sent me so many pictures of them taking walks with him. Any worries that I had disappeared as soon as I saw him walking them and they were behaving nicely! Would I use Emmanuel again? Absolutely. I wouldn't hesitate AT ALL, because I know my boys would be in great hands, and receive excellent care. As a matter of fact, I have a third little guy at home who is rear paralyzed (Jellybean), and I have never left him with anyone. But I think he would do great with Emmanuel. Thank you so much, Emmanuel!
We had a family trip planned and was faced with the concerning fact we had no one to watch Callie during our 6 days away. After searching through Rover we found Christian, but were concerned about her interaction with other dogs since she did not seem to like other dogs during training classes. During the meet and greet with Christian it became obvious that this was the person that would be best to board with. He took the time to talk to us, give us his background, showed his love for dogs, and detailed what the days and nights would be like. Although he is not a canine behaviourist, his understanding of dog behaviour and social interaction is top notch, and he ensures a safe environment exists for dogs like Callie (not aggressive with other dogs, but anxious) to help break her out of her shell. His interaction with the dogs is wonderful, and there is no doubt she got the attention she needed. I would recommend Christian without hesitation for your boarding and doggy day care needs.
Joanna did a great job watching my little dog while we were on an 8 night vacation. She gave me updates with photos of Petunia having a blast, which were reassuring since we’ve never been away from our pup that long. It’s also especially nice that Joanna’s job is flexible so she can stay home with the dog she sits or potentially bring the dog to her office. This is great for dogs who aren’t used to being home alone all day. Joanna was also quite flexible when I had to drop Petunia off a day early due to a change in flight timing, which was super appreciated.

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 East Texas 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 East Texas.
<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 East Texas 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 PA 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.
