“Whitney was absolutely amazing with our 6 month old puppy, Bear. She sent videos and pictures everyday during our week-long boarding, giving us such a peace of mind. We will be using her anytime we go out of town, highly recommend!!”
“Dorothy is the best. We’ve tried other sitters but she’s the only one that Aurora likes. She send updates and photos and my dog is always excited to see her and Daisy. ❤️”
“Rachunda took excellent care of my baby. When I got there to pick her up her tail was just a wagging and that lets me know Minkah was comfortable with her surroundings. She was also playful with the other dogs. 10/10 would recommend her to friends and family. I will also use her again for my pet sitter.”
“Lucy’s stay with Tony could not have been better.We met in the park before her stay so it gave me confidence and assurance that we were a pretty good fit.He was good to send pictures and updates on how she was doing and even worked with her leash walking.Enjoyed meeting Tony and will definitely be calling for him again. Thank you Tony!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Ms. Jessamy! She was pleasant, professional, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. My dog clearly had an amazing time. I received plenty of photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. I also received daily summaries and that truly set her apart. Her communication, care, and attention to detail were exceptional. I felt confident the entire time that my dog was in great hands. I will absolutely be rebooking with her and only her! I highly recommend Ms. Jessamy to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality care. Thank you again!”
“Our dogs had a great time at Rowan’s house! I liked that she sent pictures of them daily and checked in. They seemed very comfortable around her when we came back to pick them up. Thank you Rowan for taking great care of our pups! We will be boarding them with her again!”
“Angel took very good care of Moose. She provided excellent communication and was able to accommodate a last minute change that was very much appreciated. I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Moose.”
“Best dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and check-ins about Jade, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s extremely attentive and actually interacts with your dog — not just keeping them in a cage all day. She even sent Jade home with a little pup goodie bag! Out of the three sitters I’ve tried since moving out here, she’s the only one who has taken care of my pup the way I would. Truly the best experience I’ve had with a sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💛”
About: I have plenty of experience with puppies still in training, crate trained, non trained, energetic I can definitely handle ! I’m also good with elderly or dogs pregnancies. I am able to provide pee breaks as often as needed, attention at all times, love and support. I wash each pets bowl after use, ensure they are supported the entire process. I can offer full time watching in my home, wooden floors so accidents are okay ! I only clean with pet safe products. I play with them to get their attention in and take them on walks at least once a day !im the only person in house and a fully fenced back yard. Plenty of space to run outside when needed but they will be inside if not playing or using bathroom breaks
“Ashley accepted my last-minute booking, and I appreciate her availability during a busy time of the year. I could relax and enjoy my son's wedding this weekend. The dogs were happy when we picked them up, and I received a few pictures of their stay. Thanks again for the excellent service and for giving me peace of mind that they will be okay. Sincerely, Annette”
“Kristi is an amazing boarder. She did a fantastic job watching Kobe and June while we were out of town. She kept us updated with their eating schedule and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely be using Kristi again in the event we are in need of a boarder for our dogs! Can’t thank her enough.”
“Ms. Martha sent daily pictures of my baby boy, which I really appreciated. We did a meet and greet beforehand, which helped put me at ease, and her communication throughout the stay was good. I appreciated the care and updates she provided.”
“Such a nice family and they were so great with our dog! They also made sure to keep us updated with pictures and very fast to respond when messaged. Highly recommend!”
“I loved Melissa and her family taking care of my babies. It was nearly impossible to find someone who would watch my cat and I did not want to board both of my animals (one dog, one cat) last minute and for a week but Melissa came through!!! Her daughter took such great care of my new cat and they even bought him more toys, which he loves. My dog is my life and they sent me pictures at least once a day of him so I appreciated it. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Melissa care for my pets again.”
“Nikole took care of our dad’s dog Barbie for quite a while- she was absolutely WONDERFUL to Barbie. Lots of walks and love. I would definitely recommend her to EVERYONE!”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Gatesville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Gatesville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gatesville 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 Gatesville.
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.
You and your Gatesville 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.
