“Heather was an awesome sitter! The whole family was welcoming. Heather made sure our dog Remy got along with her dogs and showed us where Remy would be when outside and where she would be sleeping. She kept us updated with photos and messages. Remy looked so happy. We definitely will call on Heather when we need someone to watch Remy. We will be recommending her to family and friends.”
“Whitney was amazing taking care of my highly energetic, separation anxiety puppy Roxy. I definitely am so glad I found her through Rover! She sent me pics and video of Roxy Playing with all the other furry babies and I definitely will use her again, if she'll have me!”
“Arshawna has been a great fit for my dog who has gotten very comfortable when she stays with her. She seems happy when I drop her off. Arshawna always responds quickly to requests and keeps me up to date with notes and pictures.”
“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.”
“Second time booking with Dorothy! She is just great! I love how she sends updates and lots of photos, even on the shorter stays! I would absolutely continue to book with her!”
“Jadyn was very nice and sent pictures through out my doggies time with her. I would definitely book with her again. My babies seemed happy and playful upon picking them up. And she has a few toy poodles which is plus for my two doodles.”
“Martha G made our fur babies feel right at home! We are confident that she took care of their needs. Highly recommended her services. We will definitely use her again and appreciate her patience as our dogs adjusted to the stay.”
“Amazing dog sitter! She and her family took such great care of my puppy and gave him so much love and attention. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely book with her again!”
“Kenny was happy to be at Lacey’ home and family, super recommended. Thanks for taking care and make our kid feel like he was at home. Definitely Lacey is the person to go for boarding anytime.”
“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
“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!”
About: I have been around animals and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I am comfortable around all dogs and I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your fur baby. When I come to take care of, play with, or walk your fur baby I will dedicate my time to loving them. When staying with me I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I like to build trust, communicate and personalize your fur babies stay so you both feel at ease. I am currently home full time and I am available for drop ins when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I will take your fur baby on a walk to use the restroom since I don’t have a gated yard but if that’s a worry, I also have access to a few gated dog parks for your fur baby to run around and use the restroom.
“This was Mell’s first stay with Krysta and her family. She was kind enough to offer us a meet and greet two weeks prior to boarding. Mell felt comfortable right away during the meet and greet which I always consider a good sign. Krysta provided me updates and pictures throughout his stay, and asked for any need-to-know information to make his experience a good one. She was also extremely flexible and provided good communication. Thank you for watching Mr. Mellow!”
“Linsey was great with my 6yr old corgi. My pup has been a bit anti-social after getting bit by another dog, but he seems to be comfortable and get along with other dogs at Linsey’s house. She is responsive and accommodating. I’m so glad I found her, will book her again!”

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.
