“Very attentive, deeply appreciate Leon caring for our 2 dogs. One of our dogs needed an antibiotic every 12 hours and Leon administered on the dot following instructions as well as monitoring urinating to make sure our dog did not have bladder stones. Both dogs came home happy and tired. Highly recommend!!! Thank you!”
“When we needed to board our dog, the decision was easy - Angela. Our dog is 15 years old and needs 3 daily meds. Angela handled this easily. If you want pictures of your dog, she is your sitter. There is no doubt that we will use Angela again.”
“Brandon is a great host and treated our lab well. He was very good about giving our dog plenty of play time and attention, while being mindful of the summer heat. Brandon’s dog was also very nice and got along easily with our lab.”
“Angelo has become my first choice for a sitter for my boys. I don't worry about them at all when they stay with him. He is fantastic at staying in touch and I feel like he takes his responsibility seriously while enjoying the time he spends with his charges. Thank you, Angelo!!!”
“Brody was happy to return to Kathryn's house for another week. He walked right in and made himself "at home." He's back home now, and we have already booked Kathryn for our next trip out-of-town.”
“My pup had a ball with Synamon, Chris and their sweet children. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby and believe she was loved while I was away. I appreciate that this family hosted Harper on short notice, that they provided numerous pictures while I was away and that they loved my baby like their own!!”
“Ashley is very quick to respond, sends daily photo updates, and always takes good care of our precious Goldendoodle! We have used her several times and have been pleased with the level of care each time. We will definitely continue to request bookings with her in the future!”
“Maria was such a wonderful host for our pup! She was Super responsive and loving to our ‘baby’! I loved getting the updated pictures she sent since this was the first time our pup stayed with a non family member and I was worried about her. This was our first time using ‘Rover’ and I would definitely recommend Maria to anyone. Thank you!”
“Elena was so nice and caring regarding our dog Gino. She made Gino feel at home and bonded with him. She sent daily pictures and updates of Gino. We are very thankful! Will definitely rebook with her when we have future trips or travel plans.”
“After our meet and greet we felt so safe leaving our Samantha with this family. I loved that she got to play with the kiddos and I had no doubts during our trip that she was being cared for the same as she is at home. I can’t thank Becky & Joel enough for that piece of mind.”
“Hector is amazing! He goes the extra mile and we will definitely be rebooking. He took Onion a day early free of charge due to drop-off schedule conflict, also washed Onion's bed before pickup. He was great start to finish, and his dog and cats are super cute!”
“I left Chewie with Emily for about a week and he had a great time! Emily provided daily photo and video updates and was very mindful and accommodating of Chewie’s food allergies and administering his ear medication. It was a great boarding experience for Chewie and myself and I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for pet care.”
“Elizabeth and Mohit were absolutely incredible with Millie and Milo. From the very first update, it was clear that they treat every pet like their own. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Millie and Milo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-taken care of. I will definitely be booking them again!”
“Our dogs love Violet and Maple, as usual when they stay with her they come home happy and well kept. Violet always kept me updated with pictures and videos, and made sure my dogs were entertained and happy.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meagan took such great care of my Milo. Her love of animals is seen in the wonderful care and attention she gives to your pet. I loved getting daily updates with photos of Milo having a great time. I 100% recommend her and will be rebooking with Meagan again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Mariah was beyond amazing and caring for our pup. For our first time ever boarding him, we were a bit nervous, but Mariah made it so easy for us not to worry too much about him. She sent us pictures and updates which was amazing. He was so happy to meet and greet with her and other pups and seemed to have an amazing time with new friends!
Amy and her family were absolutely AMAZING with my fur baby, Benji! As a dog mom, leaving your baby in someone else’s care can be so nerve racking, especially for the first time, but Amy exceeded every single expectation I had. From the moment I left him, she made me feel so much more at ease and reassured me that my boy was in the best hands. She constantly sent me pictures and videos without me even having to ask, and that alone meant SO much to me! I was able to truly enjoy my trip to New York without worrying, knowing Benji was being loved, cared for, and treated like family. You can genuinely tell when someone has a kind heart and truly loves what they do, and that’s exactly the feeling I got from Amy and her family. And as if everything wasn’t already sweet enough, she even sent Benji home with the most thoughtful little letter. Those little things really show how much love and care she puts into what she does, and I appreciate it more than words can explain. Amy, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking such wonderful care of my boy and treating him with so much love. Your kindness, thoughtfulness, and the peace of mind you gave me are truly priceless. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I will 100% be bringing Benji back for any future trips. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars because you truly deserve it! If you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby, BOOK WITH AMY! I promise you won’t regret it. Your baby will be in loving, caring hands, and you’ll have the peace of mind every fur parent deserves. Thank you again, Amy, for being so wonderful to my sweet boy! ❤️🐶
I couldn’t be happier with the care provided for my dog, Bella! Erica and family were incredibly friendly and kept me updated throughout her stay with frequent photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Bella was visibly happy, well-cared for, and completely at ease. I highly recommend their services to any pet owner and will definitely be booking again!
Very kind with us and our pup. She made sure he was as comfortable as possible in her home. My dog is a shy dog at first and because of this, she was willing to do a meet n greet before his first stay! Ariella is very kind and friendly and really listens to the pet parents about what their specific animal needs. With my dog, he wears shoes outside because his paws burn and get scratched easily and she heard our concerns about it and followed through with putting his shoes on. She sent daily updated and asked before she did anything with him, including meeting her own animals. I definitely recommend Ariella for your pet’s care!
Justo was super flexible with his schedule, to take our last minute booking and make changes to the drop off time when needed. We received plenty of videos and pictures of our Great Pyrenees during his time there. Really appreciated the responsive communications too!
Heather and her family were incredibly kind, friendly and took great care of Luna. Their house was beautiful, very clean, organized, and had a very nice size backyard for a high energy dog like Luna (Husky mix). Thank you for being so accommodating and caring for Luna. We greatly appreciate and highly recommend.

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 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:
- 88% 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 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 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.
