“We had a wonderful experience! They truly made our dogs part of their family, and it was obvious they were loved and well cared for while we were away. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages—they gave us real peace of mind and let us enjoy our trip without worrying. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, which says everything. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable pet sitters.”

My dog also made good friends with his dog so he had a playmate and was kept entertained. It really was like sending my dog to summer camp!”

“Abigail was amazing! We did a meet and greet first and she welcomed us to her home where we also got to meet her sweet family. We discussed my the visit and she got to know Ash. Her home and family were clean and welcoming. While I was out of town, Abigail was excellent at sending regular updates with lots of loving and walks. I could tell my pup was in heaven. Our pets are part of our family and it feels great knowing someone gives them the same love we do while in their care. I highly recommend Abigail and would book with her again.”

They kept us updated with daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

It meant a lot to know our dog was not just being watched, but genuinely loved and having fun. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”
“We had to travel for 6 days and chose to leave our 4 yr old Shih Tzu with Vanessa. We are really glad we did. Vanessa did a great job looking after our puppy. She was communicative and sent pictures and status of our puppy once a day and it was really helpful to know he was being well looked after. We couldn't have been happier”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Christine provided for our Ollie. From the moment we left him, Christine's communication was exceptional. We received daily updates, complete with delightful and "fun" photos of Ollie, which truly brightened our days and reassured us he was having a great time. Beyond the wonderful updates, Christine was incredibly responsive, often getting back to us within minutes of our messages. Highly, highly recommend Christine!”

“I can't say enough great things about Julie! I was so nervous leaving my large dog for a week-long out of country work trip only 2 weeks after major surgery and the same day the stitches were removed. Julie took the best care of my fur baby, sending me pics throughout the week and also answering my questions within minutes. I will definitely book with her next time.”
“I could not be happier with Rebecca and her family. She was constantly sending me pics and videos which I really appreciated. Felt very comfortable the moment we met for our meet and greet. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be using her as my main go-to going forward. 😁”

Bridgette and her family were great! Bridgett took such good care of Penny. She treated her like one of her own puppies if not even more special. Penny was well taken care of, and was happy to be there. Bridgette sent us picture and video updates every day. Bridgette was very easy to get a hold of at any time. We strongly recommend her to everyone who needs puppy sitting.

Alexis was great! She provided daily updates and pictures of my dogs while I was away. I appreciated her updates and that she worked hard to make my dogs comfortable in her house.

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 Elizabethtown 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 Elizabethtown 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 Elizabethtown.
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 Elizabethtown. On Rover:
- 87% 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 Elizabethtown 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.
