“I’ve had Erika watch Nala almost 10x now, ranging from 3-8 day stays. She keeps me updated with daily pictures and I know Nala is in good hands!”
“Went for a little away time with my lady and Brianna came thru on like 2 hours of notice within blinking an eye. We dropped Pazzo off and after meeting her i was a lot more at ease in knowing that my dog would be in safe hands. Then she send a couple of photos on day 2 and informed me that Topaz was doing fantastic. We returned the following day and i saw that she wanted to confirm the drop off time because she had an errand to run in the late afternoon.. very punctual, affordable and accommodating and if we find ourselves in a similar situation going forward, we will be barking up Brianna tree. Lame pun intended!!! Thanks again”

Marshmellow seemed so happy and comfortable with her, and I loved that he got to spend time playing with other dogs while I was away. Denise sent me lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It made it much easier to relax and enjoy time with my family knowing my sweet Marshmellow was happy, safe, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Denise with him again and highly recommend her!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Santhini! Our dog Charlie, stayed with her for six nights while we were on vacation in Jamaica, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. She sent us daily updates and pictures, and Charlie looked so happy, comfortable, and well cared for in every one. Honestly, it seemed like Charlie was on a vacation of his own! One of the best parts was seeing him become best friends with Santhini’s dog Lance. We’re incredibly thankful for the excellent care and attention she gave Charlie. We highly recommend Santhini to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”

She was professional, communicative and best of all, she enjoyed being with Roscoe. He had a great time with her!”
“Stephanie was so good with our dog Lucky. It was her first time without us for a week and Stephanie worked so hard at gaining Lucky’s trust and sent us updates to help us feel at ease. We were able to fully relax and enjoy vacation knowing that Lucky was in good hands. Thank you Stephanie ❤️”

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 .
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.

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.
