“Great service and excellent communication. She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really reassured me that the dogs were having fun and well taken care of. Highly recommend! Will book again.”
“Joseph is amazing—professional, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. He provided regular updates that gave me peace of mind. will definitely book again and highly recommend him.”
“If you need a totally awesome person to leave your pups with, then look no further than Jordyn. Our two boxers, Max and Heidi, had three days of daycare with Jordyn while we played golf and attended the Texas Renaissance Faire. Jordyn sent us photos of our pups having fun and kept us informed throughout the day of their status. It eased our minds knowing our pups were in such good hands. They came home each day tired and happy. Jordyn is amazing and we’ll look for her to babysit our pups again next year. Thanks Jordyn!!!”
“Christina‘s passion for dogs is evident when you first meet her. Her house is set up to accommodate the dogs. She has a kitty pool for them to play in their backyard. She takes them on walks twice a day and is very loving towards the dogs. She effectively communicated the entire time we were out of town sending pictures and updates. I would very much consider using her again.”
“Svetlana took excellent care of Dexter during his two-week stay. Communication was great from start to finish, and she consistently sent detailed updates, photos, and videos every day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while traveling. It was clear Dexter was very comfortable and happy in her care. She paid close attention to his routines, walks, eating habits, and even adapted really well to communicating with him using hand signals since he is deaf. We especially appreciated how observant and thoughtful she was about his comfort, behavior, and exercise. Dexter clearly bonded with her family and PomPom, and it genuinely felt like he was staying in a caring home environment rather than just being boarded. We would absolutely book with Svetlana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”
“They did a wonderful job watching our dog, Pico! She looked happy in every picture they sent to us and reported on her with photos! Spoiled her with treats and respected my wishes to not feed her human food. I would definitely recommend!”
“What a sweet family! They kept us informed and sent pictures everyday. I know Copper had a blast and will miss them all. Would love to used them again on our next visit to Texas ♡ Thank You!!”
“Lauren and her family were amazing. She was easy to work with and quick to communicate. I knew my pup was loved and taken care of and had nothing to worry about. She sent daily pictures with updates of events and I could see in my pups eyes how happy she was, so mush so, that I was afraid she was not going to want to come home- haha. Thank you Lauren!!!”
“Amy (and her family) were fantastic with our dogs! She kept us updated every day with lots of photos and comments. Already booked our next boarding session with her and know that our dogs will be in great hands!”
“Karenly was highly recommended by my neighbor, and I’m so glad that she was able to care for my dog. She sent constant updates and made me feel like I could really trust her with my dog. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“I would highly recommend Ryan & Lisa. They took fantastic care of my dog while I was away. The communication was great and I felt completely comfortable with them. My pup looked extremely happy and I could tell he had a great time there..”
“Tema was a great host. Very accepting of a last minute request and easy to work with. She sent many pictures and accommodated my being slightly late. Our dog Lucy had a great time and was returned to us very tired. Tema also was very informative about Lucy throughout her stay including how much she was eating and how she was settling in. Overall can definitely recommend Tema and will be booking with her again.”
“Winston absolutely loves Kristina. When I go to drip him off he darts to her door to see her. She takes the best care of him and sends me pictures/videos regularly so I can see my little guy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Winston.”

I felt so comfortable leaving my dog under Jordyn’s amazing care! She was extremely responsive and sent lots of pics/updates, which we LOVED! She was also very flexible when our travel plans were delayed. Such a blessing knowing that my fur baby was well taken care of. We definitely will be using her services again!

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 Gary 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 Gary 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 Gary.
<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 Gary 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.
