“We left our boys with Michelle for an 18 day stay. I was initially concerned that my dogs would not behave for her but they settled into comfort with her quickly. Michelle treated our dogs like her own and we will definitely be using her for sittings again.”
“I had such a wonderful experience leaving Missy and Evie in their care! From the beginning, they were incredibly communicative and made me feel completely comfortable knowing my girls were being well taken care of. You could genuinely tell that they cared about them and gave them extra love and attention rather than simply “watching” them. They also made sure Missy and Evie got plenty of exercise and attention, which I really appreciated. I loved knowing they were getting to play, move around, and enjoy themselves while I was away. I also ended up running a little late picking them up, and they were so understanding and gracious about it, which meant a lot to me. Overall, they were attentive, caring, communicative, and incredibly accommodating. I would absolutely trust them with Missy and Evie again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pets like their own! ❤️🐾”
“Luna absolutely loved her stay with Mia. She had a great time and made new friends. Mia kept me updated all the time and made sure Luna felt comfortable. I know she was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Mia again.”

“It was my first time boarding my dog, Sneakers with any sitter, but I'm so happy that my initial choice was with Vivian and her son, Jonah! Sneakers absolutely loved his stay with them to the point that he thought he found his newfound home. They treated him like family and made him feel so comfortable. During my travels from across state lines and running into traffic here and there, Vivian was exceptional with accommodating pick-up times. She and her son are sweet and kind people who truly love dogs! She sent me updated photos of Sneakers within every hour or so. She made me feel reassurance knowing that Sneakers was actively enjoying himself. Vivian and Jonah are two people you can trust to take care of your furry loved ones. Thank you again!”

Heidi was absolutely wonderful with my Lulu! She invited me in and showed me where Lulu would be staying, which made me feel really comfortable leaving her there. Heidi was so sweet and caring, and I could tell right away that she genuinely loves dogs. Lulu was happy and well taken care of, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely use Heidi again and highly recommend her! She really helped me when she accepted my request at a short notice.
Thank you so much for caring for Mabel while I had to travel out of town. I’m so happy she was with someone that loved and cared for her.

Aislyn has taken wonderful care of our golden retriever twice now. She has a pet friendly home and it’s obvious she treats our baby like her own! Her dog and cat are super friendly and get along great with ours. We really appreciate the frequent check ins with pictures and video updates. Highly recommend Aislyn & Carson!!
Haylie was great with our three little, energetic dogs. She was punctual and a great communicator. Haylie kept them busy, and sent photos. She checked in with questions and updates, and also kept them happy. They were smiling and enjoying their time, as you could see in the photos. I felt confident leaving the dogs with Haylie, and would certainly use her services again. Thank you!
Meghan will be my go-to for all future dog sitting. She took care of my pups as if they were her own. She’s extremely conscientious and caring, as well as professional. My pups loved her and that is part of my litmus test. You cannot go wrong with Meghan in charge!!

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.
97% of sitters in Galveston 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 Galveston 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 Galveston.
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 Galveston. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Galveston 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.
