“Victoria took excellent care of our pup! She sent us daily updates with pictures so we could see that Bowser was comfortable and happy during his stay-cation. When we arrived to pick him up, he was outside waiting for us wagging his little nub tail! Thank you so much!”
About: With over 10 years of experience in the veterinary field, rest assure that your pet is getting the best care. I worked in a general practice hospital for 5 years then transitioned to an Internal Medicine department where I worked for 5 years. With a special interest in senior dogs. I am able to administer medications for advanced disease processes. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I am home most of the time. I will be able to provide one-on-one attention, play time, and multiple bathroom breaks throughout the day. I have a very large fenced in back yard that is safe for your dog to run around in. I have a senior dog who spends most of her day napping. We also have a pet bunny who is kept separate from our visiting dogs. There are two children aged 6 and 8 that live in the home as well.
“Wonderful experience! My dog is anxious and shy with with new people and Christine knew exactly what to do and adjust. My baby loved it there! Got frequent pictures and updates! Definitely will use her again!”
“William cared well for our dog, Rosie. We appreciated that he was home during the days to spend time with her and he sent us updates each day. She came home happy!”
“Savanna did an amazing job taking care of our kitten! She was very accommodating to his needs and ours--meeting us first and discussing all the details, feeding him as often as he needed at his age. We got pictures and videos of him while we were on our trip. He was in great hands!”
“This was my second time using Nichole to care for our Great Dane puppy. I appreciate her ability to extend her services an extra day at the last minute. I always know that our puppy is safe and in good hands when she stays with them. Our puppy enjoys getting to play with other dogs of all ages and sizes and getting to run and play in their secure backyard. We will definitely continue to use Nichole for future bookings.”
“Julie was great with Tucker and he had a great stay! She took care of him like he was her own! She sent photos and kept us updated on how things were going. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Julie take care of Tucker again! ?”
“Wonderful experience with Aaron! We did a trial overnight boarding for our dog in advance of a longer vacation next month. I love that he has extensive dog training experience and ensures safe introductions with other pets. He kept us updated and sent several pictures. Highly recommend and we will definitely be booking again with him.”
“Brittany communicated with us throughout our dog’s entire stay. She was very professional and flexible. She kept us up to speed on how he was adjusting, sent pictures every day and it looked like he had a blast! Our dog loved playing with her sweet doodle. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Melissa was great! She gave frequent updates on our dogs while boarding with her. She is very fast to respond to questions. Would definitely book her again for our next trip!”
About: I have been a pet lover my whole life! I had pets growing up and as an adult. Over the last 20+ years, I had two dogs and they both lived to be 16. I would like to think that they lived that long because of all the love and care I gave them over the years. I recently lost my last one earlier this year and have decided to take care of others until I am ready to get another on my own. I currently work remote two days a week from home so I am available during the week a couple days and after work the days I go to the office. I am also around most weekends and willing to do drop ins or walks on those days too. I live alone, so I am happy to share my space with your fur baby. I am also able to come to your house to take care of them.
About: I started caring for my host family's dogs when I moved to the U.S. in 2017, and I've been a dog lover ever since! I've cared for dogs of different ages and sizes, from young puppies to senior dogs and even giant Great Danes. I'm especially great with energetic, well-trained dogs who enjoy long walks and outdoor adventures as much as I do. If your pup loves staying active, we'll get along just fine! I’m a freelancer working in social media, so I have a flexible schedule and work mostly remotely. This allows me to plan my day around pet care, accommodate walks and drop-in visits, and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy getting outside, so having a furry walking buddy is always a plus! My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner's instructions closely, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, playtime, food, and attention. I'm respectful of clients' homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they're away. Your pet's safety and happiness always come first!
“I will definitely use Kris again!! It was the first time in a long time that I had left my dog overnight with someone and she made the whole process smooth. She even sent photos which calmed my nerves. She even took him for a walk and allowed us to meet up beforehand to make sure it was a good fit for everyone.”
“Truly would give 10 stars! Amanda was awesome. This is the first time I’ve used this app and must admit I had my reservations about leaving our dog with a stranger. Our pup seemed comfortable and loved her entire stay. After this experience we will definitely be using the app and Amanda again!!”
“Claudia was great! Let us meet her before Tito’s stay, took good notes and picture updates for us throughout his stay. Claudia is obviously a pet lover and cared for Tito!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Our dog was so happy to stay with Victoria. He had other dogs his size to play with, as well as the children who left him exhausted and sleeping through the night. At the end of his stay our little guy didn’t want to leave. We felt comfortable leaving him with Victoria and loved getting the photos updates of our little pooch. We will absolutely take advantage of Victoria’s wonderful service again.
Joshua and Kate are very friendly and capable, and they did a really nice job watching our boys Jake and Bodhi. I received updates with pictures, which I really appreciate. Jake and Bodhi came home tired and happy after a day full of play. I felt very comfortable leaving Jake and Bodhi with them.

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.
96% of sitters in Friendswood 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 Friendswood 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 Friendswood.
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 Friendswood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Friendswood 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 IN 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.
