“We Highly Recommend Heidi! Our dogs love her and get excited when we tell them they are going to Heidi's. She treats them as they are her own and provides excellent care. We receive regular updates and photos via text. They get lots of play time and love time! Whether you live on the island or you come to vacation on the island and need someone to care for your dogs do not hesitate to give Heidi a call. She is worth every penny because we know we can feel comfortable during our time away when Heidi is caring for our sweet babies.”
“Jennifer was absolutely FABULOUS!! We will definitely be amongst her long list of returning customers! This was our firsts time using a dog sitting service and I was a little bit nervous to leave our two pups with a stranger but within moments of meeting Jennifer I knew our pups were in good hands. Her home was very clean, easy to find and obviously set up by someone who wants the best for your dog during their stay. Our dogs loved her instantly and she was so sweet to my kids as well. She was very flexible with our schedule and communicated quickly through the app. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of all animals for 8 years I love animals of any kind. My favorite has to be dogs. We just get along so great. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll have plenty of time to love care and play with your fur babies. They will be my top priority I live in an apartment so space is limited, though we do go outside and play fetch and tug-of-war go on plenty of walks and plenty of treats
“This was my first time leaving our pup Salem, and Aislyn made the experience so easy and stress-free 🥹 She was super kind, sent lots of pictures and updates, and kept me reassured the whole time. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our day in Galveston knowing Salem was in great hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her! 🐾✨”

I work full time out of my home office and am home >99% of the time. Your pet will be well cared for, played with, and all special requests will be honored. My pup stays in a crate during the day and based on that, yours will be required to do so also. We take plenty of potty breaks and hardcore fetch time in the evenings.
““We came to visit Galveston and decided to leave our furry baby with Lindsay for half a day. We were very happy with her care. Lindsay is very kind and friendly, and you can tell how sweet and loving she is with dogs. We would definitely leave her with her again.””
“Lindsey accommodated our very last minute request for doggy daycare during our daytrip to Galveston and we're so thankful! She quickly responded when I asked for a mid-day update. Thanks again.”
“We had such a good experience with Mya that we decided to take our pup there again. When he realized where we were, he did a whole body happy dance. We received an update during his stay and afterwards we were told that they got the water hose out for him. He loves water and I can imagine what a treat that was for him to play and eat the spays. It’s nice feeling comfortable knowing your dog is going to be well cared for and that they love being there.”
“Just purchased a puppy and didn’t want to leave him at home while I work from 6-4:30 so I decide to book daycare time with Robin. Her knowledge on how to care for dogs/ puppy’s is incredible!!! Not only did she stay in constant communication with me about my puppy but, she was also sends me adorable pictures and videos. Robin went the extra mile and is slowly teaching my puppy crate training along with potty training. She takes him out every hour or so for potty breaks and even allows him to run and play!! I hope if you decide to book with robin you will love her as much as I do! 100/10”

I am a stay at home mom to teenage boys, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets!

Each pen has access to a private, fenced potty area and your dog can either participate in group play or have private one-on-one play if they are more shy.
“Ariel was the best! Not only did she answer and accept my last minute request at 2:00 a.m. for the same day at 10:00 a.m. in MINUTES, when plans changed, and I asked for my 5 month old puppy to stay for an extra hour and a half, she was more than willing. She provided constant updates and photos throughout the day, and kept my boy entertained (he was exhausted that night- haha). She is truly a life saver. Thank you endlessly, Ariel. Truly! You're the best :)”

“Kelly was the best experience I’ve had on Rover. I needed day care for my 2 poodles last minute, and she responded right away that she was available.

I will definitely be using her again if I’m ever in the area.”

“We came to visit Galveston and decided to leave our furry baby with Lindsay for half a day. We were very happy with her care. Lindsay is very kind and friendly, and you can tell how sweet and loving she is with dogs. We would definitely leave her with her again.”
Clara took care of our pup for a long day (8am - 6:30pm). Rayne was immediately at ease and very comfortable in Clara’s home. We received a photo of her on their morning walk. Photos are reassuring. When we picked her up, Rayne happily greeted us then lay down by Clara! She was in no hurry to leave. Clara said Rayne snuggled up with her on the couch for most of the day. So obviously our pup was not traumatized by us leaving her. 😁 We highly recommend Clara.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Galveston commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 235 sitters in Galveston, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
