“Amazing experience. I had a few last min cancelations and they were able to accommodate my baby for a couple more days. I recieved lot of pictures of her. I will definitely book with this family again.”
“Ruth came highly recommended from a friend who has used her numerous times, and she was not wrong! Ruth is great! She loves animals and loved our pup, Scout as if she was her own. She sent updates including pictures of all the fun they were having together so we didn’t have to worry. So glad to have found her, and we will definitely use Ruth in the future!”
“Alejandro and Keyla took amazing care of our dogs while we were away for a week! They sent pictures every day, which gave us such peace of mind. Both of them are incredibly kind, professional, and clearly love what they do. Their pricing was very reasonable, and our pups came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend them!”
“First time using Rover as a service and it was last minute. My family couldn’t have asked for better sitter. Brittany was fabulous with our dog and I will keep her as a favorite for the next time I need a sitter for my dog. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Beatriz was amazing! It was my first time not having a family or friend watch my 2 babies so I was a very anxious fur mama. She was extremely patient and understanding from the start with my numerous questions and specifics needed for them. She sent daily photos and was quick to respond. It was clear that my babies were in hands of a caretaker who truly cares. We will definitely be a repeat customer of hers when it is needed.”
“Maritza took care of my babies with love all the time. She had a lot of paciente with my 1 year old puppy and my senior always feels Maritza’s home as his own home. I would like to thanks Maritza and her family for all the care and love to my doggies.”
“Our puppy enjoyed her stay at Gabriela’s. Gabriela was attentive, caring and shared our puppy’s pictures with us on a regular basis. I will consider Gabriela for future stays.”
“Chassidy was an awesome sitter. Communication and updates were excellent and gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well taken care of. We will book Chassidy again.”
“America was great! She sent pictures and videos and we could tell our 2 dogs were having a good time. She replied quickly to our messages. We will be booking with her again!”
“Where do we begin? Rowena was BEYOND AMAZING when she babysat our Pomeranian for almost a week. She went ABOVE & BEYOND anything we could have expected, and treated our dog like he was her own. The pictures and videos she sent us throughout the week showed him being spoiled and adored by her, and totally eased our anxiety about boarding him (for the first time ever) while we were on vacation. We can’t say enough good things about Rowena. She is absolutely the best sitter we could have ever hoped for. She was kind & loving to our dog (child) & she even catered to some of his high maintenance needs (like helping him eat more slowly & taking him out in the yard to run around, to let him get his “zoomies” out, etc). Her house was immaculate & clean, which was even more comforting to us, because we were anxious our pup might eat something off the floor, if able (he wasn’t able to because her house was spotless). We really can’t say enough good things about our experience with Rowena and how well she cared for our dog while we were out of town. It’s very obvious that she LOVES what she does, and that she LOVES DOGS. So amazing. Book her….you will never book anyone else! Thank you again, Rowena! I’m booking you again now!”
“Thank goodness for Kristy. She was recommended to me by my other sitter who was unavailable. I was so nervous leaving my doggy for a week just after she had to have surgery for the first time. Kristy was very attentive to her needs and was able to help her through her recovery just the way she needed. I received daily updates from her, which made me feel so much better! I would recommend her to anyone looking to have their pet stay in a loved, relaxing home. Thank you Kristy!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Vicki! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. Our pups came home happy and well-cared for, and we appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept us at ease. Vicki was not only reliable and professional but also truly compassionate, treating our furry family members as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your fur babies, look no further! Highly recommended!”
“We had a great boarding experience with Mrs. Piyaon! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog has weak back legs, so walking on hard floors can be difficult for him. She was so thoughtful and placed rugs all over her house to make it easier for him to walk around. We really appreciate how much care and consideration she showed. We’ve already booked another stay with her and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Ara was amazing to my dog Jaxon! I highly recommend her, and will definitely have her watch Jaxon if needed in the future. She was very attentive and sent video clips to me daily, which really gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was being cared for.”
“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!”
“We can't say enough good things about Mrs. Joyce! She took such loving, sweet care of our puppy while we were away. Her home is welcoming, clean, and fresh! You can just feel the love the moment you walk in the door. When we picked up our pup, he was happy, energized, and well-rested, which told us everything we needed to know about how well he was cared for. We highly recommend Mrs. Joyce to anyone looking for someone who is truly caring, trustworthy with your pet!”
“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!”

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.
<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 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.
