About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was 10, and ever since, I’ve been passionate about caring for them, playing, and giving lots of love. I’m a military wife and a mother of three children and one furry baby. My family and I truly enjoy welcoming every dog that comes into our home. Our mission is to make each one feel like part of the family and ensure the fun never ends. I specialize in small and medium-sized dogs, and they’re welcome to enjoy every part of our home. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for, feed and play with each dog! Drop-offs are welcome before 7 a.m. or after 8 a.m. I have a fenced yard for your dog's safety and a comfortable space around the house. Also I have a furry friend who would love to play with yours.
“She was very friendly, updated me multiple times with pictures on how my pup was doing! I was gonna be running very late for pickup and she was very accommodating!! Definitely will be reaching out to her again next time i have to go out of town!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets from small dogs to big dogs. My sister works in the vet field and has came home with a million rescue dogs to take care. I learned how each dog/ breed is unique and that each provides different care which is important. I’m currently a SAHM! So I give pets a lot of playtime. Try to take them on daily walks around 6 with the family :) I have a fenced backyard so dogs can go out and enjoy themselves. Since I have a kid, everything in my home is child proof, so they will both be safe from getting hurt

About: HEY Im Ashli, I am well-versed in the nuances of advanced pet husbandry. Whether your "fur baby" has scales, feathers, or paws, they are in the safest hands possible. I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with a deep background in veterinary assistance. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat them with the same expertise I would in a clinical setting, combined with the love they get at home. Boarding is our main service but doggy daycare is also available! We have a huge backyard and a playful puppy to keep your pet company. I work from home and my husband is separated military so we are always home! Your stay is just a meet and greet away! How does the meet and greet work? Well! You can bring your pups to us! You get a first person experience of where your pet will be staying. Once inside we all meet in the backyard to make sure our pups get along! If your pet is reactive or not other pet friendly we can EASILY make accommodations! Tell us all about their daily routine and we will do our darndest to make them feel at home! I recommend bringing enough food for the trip, Leash or harness, a comfort toy, and food and water bowls. No need to bring your kennel! We have one available if you would like them kenneled. PCSing? Ask me about our Service Member Special! I work full time from home as a business owner. Being able to choose my schedule means I can prioritize your personal needs. I prioritize offering boarding options but the occasional drop in visit is also fine. The home can easily be sectioned off for seperate areas for cats and dogs if necessary. I have a fenced back yard and a open floor plan to ensure plenty of space for your fur babies to move around. This is a kennel free house hold so if you are crate training or prefer your pet sleep in their kennel please provide one. I do own 1 pet bird who will be seperate from any guests. We also own a kitten and a puppy. Im able to section off an area of our home to allow a safe stay for both cat and dog owners.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, which has given me many years of hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand dogs’ behaviors, needs, and routines, from feeding and exercise to basic care and attention. I’m comfortable handling energetic dogs, as well as those who may need a little extra patience or structure. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling and consistent care throughout the day. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, supervision, and companionship they need, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m experienced managing a multi-dog household, so I’m comfortable supervising and handling multiple dogs at once. I provide a clean, structured, and calm environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I always monitor interactions closely and make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need, whether that’s playtime, exercise, or quiet rest.
“Absolutely amazing! He was able to do a last-minute booking with us and definitely hiring again our fur baby had an amazing time and came home super happy. If you need someone to watch your fur babies, I highly recommend him. Everyone in his household is super sweet and will make sure your dog is loved.”
About: I have cared for animals most of my life, including dogs, cats, goats, rabbits and chickens. I love them all, but dogs are my favorite and I've been told I'm good with them. I have 2 dogs that I feed twice a day along with making sure they have fresh water. I also take them on walks for their health and enjoyment and I give them baths on a regular basis, along with occasional check-ups with the veterinarian. I have a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I also have 2 crates at my house that guest dogs can use, one small and one large.

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 Gatesville 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 214 sitters in Gatesville, 80% 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.
