“Juan & Kristina are absolutely wonderful! Our pup stayed with them for five days and was made to feel completely at home. The daily updates and photos from Juan showed just how happy and comfortable our fur baby was, which made our getaway so much less stressful. Juan’s entire family showers the dogs with so much love and care. We highly recommend them!”
“I had Jehisson to sit our dog, Zira while we were out of town. She loved her stay at Jehisson’s. Jehisson kept me updated by sending pictures of Zira. I felt Zira is in safe hands. I would be happy to reconnect with Jehisson in future.”
“During the week that Anabel puppy sat Brodie, she became one of his favorite people. Anabel is professional and very thoughtful. She sent photos daily and had great communication. Highly recommend”
About: I have been pet sitting for 15 years and I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years. My family and I love dogs and cats with a passion! I am aware what to look out for trouble wise and will keep you informed I work full time as a veterinary technician however my schedule is repetitive so I can offer the same consistent care as I give to my own pets. I have a completely fenced yard and I do not leave any pets outside unsupervised at any time. I do not restrict pets from being on the furniture unless otherwise instructed and I will care for your pets just as I do my own.
“Star looked after my dog for 9 days ad did a wonderful job. She was very responsive to any of my questions and sent many pictures and little videos each day of my dog. I would recommend her to look after any of your dogs.”
“Jacob is the absolute best!! I have an Aussie Shepherd - so by default high energy and needs attention/mental stimulation - and she’s got some anxiety. Jacob takes her pic care of her, sends check ins daily, uses all the tips we gave him, and Kyra is excited to stay there every time. Jacob even helped us out when our latest trip was late by a whole day. Can’t recommend Jacob enough!!!”
“We are so grateful to have found Elizabeth! Our dachshund Angus stayed with her for ten days and she took amazing care of him and send lots of cute photos and video. Will absolutely use her services again. Angus was so happy when I picked him up. Thank you Elizabeth!”
“Amrita and her husband were lovely, sending periodic updates and pictures of Rux’s stay (he’s an anxious little guy). They were especially amazing when my flight was cancelled and I was rebooked the next day. Offering to keep Rux and manage as they had another stay overlapping. It was such a relief they were so flexible and accommodating - grateful to have booked them.”
“Cathrin and her family took great care of our high-energy Frenchie girl. She communicated frequently, and provided plenty of picture updates throughout her stay. Highly recommend!”
“Michele took great care of our pup! He loved having other dogs to play with and lots of snuggles from his new human friends! The house is extremely clean with a large fenced in yard to run around in. We received many updates with photos/videos to keep us in the loop of our pups activities. I highly recommend her services. We look forward to working with her more.”
“Alexandra & Evelyn are great pet sitters! I got daily updates and pictures. Luna seemed like a part of their family and very happy when she got home. I would definitely use them again 🤗”
“Cynthia was awesome! From our first communication to pick up, she was very kind and responsive. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. We could tell Sophia was comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Miho is an amazing caring and trustable dog sitter. Our Ella loved spending time with Miho and her wonderful Arden, felt welcoming and had so much fun. Also the daily updates and pictures made the time away from our baby much easier. Thank you so much :)”
“Sonia took great care of our boy. Not to mention she took him in at the last minute. She sent great photos. We knew as soon as we dropped him off that he was in good hands. I highly recommend and would definitely book Sonia again.”
“Valeriia was the sweetest and most patient with my dog that has a hard time with new people. She was so attentive towards him and always respecting his pace towards meeting new people. She was very responsive and always keeping me updated on my dog’s day while I was out of town.”
“Andrew was so good with Huck and I was kept in the loop during his entire stay. He is so attentive and really shows a true love for animals, especially the ones he is watching. Keeps them safe and you know they are comfortable, fed and happy. Will be booking with Andrew again!”

Lindsey, is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Joy, and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout the stay.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
