“The BEST sitter I’ve found for my Remy. Marisa is such a sweet person and my Remy still misses her. She sent beautiful pictures every single day, took Remy to the park daily, etc. I couldn’t be happier with her service and I definitely found Remy a regular sitter, that’s if she isn’t so booked.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated the drop-off and pick-up convenience, along with all the love and attention you gave Max. It means so much knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend and would definitely trust you with Max again in the future!”
“I had the pleasure of using the Rover app for the first time, and I was so fortunate to find Cora. From the very beginning, she gave me complete peace of mind with her experience, availability, and genuine love for caring for dogs. While I was away, I felt confident knowing my dogs were in a safe, calm, and loving environment. It was clear they were well cared for and received plenty of affection. I truly appreciate everything Cora did for them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Ara was apparently so great with Brew he was slightly depressed when he got home! Sure he was happy to be home with his fam and in his house, but somewhere in the back of his mind he misses being with Ara. She did a great job, sent us videos every day and pictures after we got home. We will definitely use Ara again if we are getting out of town. I know that would make Brewster very happy! Thank you so much!!”
“Chloe loves staying with Amanda. There are always a few dogs just her size to play with and she has gotten to know the other dogs who stay with Amanda regularly.”
“Our dog Penny had an amazing time with Reagan! She went on many walks, played in the backyard numerous times and was taken care of like family. We had daily updates and pictures and will definitely use Reagan again. We highly recommend Reagan!”
“Amazing sitters! Always take great care of our babies, send lots of videos, pictures and constant updates. We are very lucky to have found such caring people to look after our dud babies!”
“Penelope took great care of our goldendoodle. Our pup got plenty of love and attention (and extra walks!) from the whole family. We loved the photos and videos. We will definitely book with Penelope again!”
“Andrea was wonderful! She watched my two dogs for 6 nights, and took such good care of them that they came home so happy and exhausted. My dogs can sometimes be a handful together, but she did a great job! She sent lots of photos of them, and was always very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely ask Andrea to watch my dogs again in the future!”
“This family is amazing! Neel and Krish and Geetika were so thoughtful and kind in taking care of our dog, I received daily updates on his activities with lots of photos and videos, and they were extremely communicative and professional. He got lots of walks and snuggles and enjoyed playing with Sydney, We will definitely be leaving our beloved pup with them again!”
“I recently had my Husky stay overnight with Lily and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! My dog was well taken care of, and I received regular updates that reassured me she was comfortable and happy. Lily is friendly, and she made sure my dog felt at home. When I picked her up, she was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their dog!”
“My dog Bash had an amazing time with Michelle and the other dogs! I frequently received pictures/videos while I was gone so I was sure Bash was safe, taken care of and most importantly a happy pup. I will 100% book with Michelle next time I need a sitter, won’t even bother to look for someone else. Thank you Michelle for making Bash feel at home!!”
“This was my foster dogs first time away from me and she did great with Cherish! I got daily updates and photos. Cherish worked with her to continue her daily training and took all of my notes and lengthy requests!”
“Joseph really did a great job taking care of our athletic and sometimes hard to handle dog. We received daily updates and pics during the stay. I could tell my dog was relaxed and really did't get in a hurry to leave when I picked up. It was clear all his needs were met during the stay. Great place for pets to stay!”

I had an exceptional experience with Me Ara From the moment we arrived, it was clear our pet would be in great hands. Communication was excellent, and we received regular updates that gave me peace of mind. Her home was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel even more comfortable. She also have a huge yard, perfect for exercise and playtime. My pet came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and love shown throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Ms Ara to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for their pet. 🐾✨

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 Foster 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 Foster.
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.
You and your Foster 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.
