“I chose Jasmine as a last minute resort and when I say I'd choose her over and over again, as well as HIGHLY recommended her, I mean just that!! Jasmine is an amazing communicator before, during, and after her services has been rendered. The amount of love and attention she provided our family pup was top tier. I almost felt as if our pup wouldn't want to return home. Lol but we all know that dogs are loyal. I will be using your services again for formal and informal visits, as like you stated, pups need social lives as well. Again, my family and I thank you so much for everything. You are the best!”
“I was really nervous because I needed someone to watch Sugar and Cookie at the last minute and wasn’t sure I would be able to find someone I could trust. I’m so glad I found my sitter! They did an excellent job taking care of my dogs and made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. The communication was great every day. I received updates about Sugar and Cookie, including what they were doing and their daily activities, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell they were being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. I would definitely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and great with dogs. I will absolutely use them again!”
“We are so happy to have found Hang, her family and Charlie?. Leopold felt at home, they loved on him! She sent me videos and pictures daily. That’s where we’ll leave our boy? anytime we need to get away. Beautiful and spacious backyard. 100% recommend her. ?”
“Victoria was amazing!! She watched our dog while we went out of state for a week, and she constantly updated us and sent pictures! Our dog had an absolute blast with her dogs! We will definitely be using her again if we need someone to watch our boy. She truly cared for him like her own. I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my furbabies with Jenn and her family. I was kept up to date with pictures. I will definitely be bringing my girls back. Thank you Jenn! 😊”
“Kelly watched my dog Red for the weekend. They became best friends fast. He didn't want to come home with me he loved her and her family so much. She kept me updated with photos and texts throughout the weekend. Amazing. We will be using her again.”
About: What sets me apart is that your pet will have someone home with them throughout the day, giving them plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also provide regular picture and video updates so you can feel at ease knowing your baby is happy and in good hands. I work from home, so I'm here to keep your pets company throughout the day. I ove taking dogs for walks and showering them with attention and affection. Your furry friends will feel right at home with me! My home includes a young child Age 5 and one resident dog. For everyone’s safety, I ONLY accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children and other dogs. Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate dogs with known reactivity toward children or other dogs, or dogs whose compatibility with children is unknown. All new boarding clients must complete a meet-and-greet before booking approval. I maintain a clean, safe, and supervised environment where every pet can feel comfortable.
“Nika was an exceptional sitter. She sent daily pictures as well as texts letting me know how JoJo was doing and her experience with some of his weird quirks (lol). I would definitely use her 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.
“The sweetest and most caring person you could find to care for your fur baby! Jenna watched my dog multiple times over the span of the last 2 years and has been absolutely wonderful. My dog literally jumps for joy when she sees Jenna!”
“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.”
“Elisabeth did a GREAT job with Goldie. She sent pictures during her stay to let us see how she was adjusting. Drop off and pick up were easy and Elisabeth was friendly. I would use her again.”
About: what sets me apart is not only is this a passion for me i went to school for it. I feel like pet care services should be more accessible cause you know shit happens and having a good pet care system really changes things. Im from Chicago and im currently trying to become an exotic veterinarian or be within vet med sciences. I completed one step by attended fox college vet tech in chicago and trained animals on top of that specializing in fear and aggression. I’ve worked with banfield clinics and have done free service pop ups. i’m never gonna judge just want to be part of your pet caring team. I work for a different company aside from rover and I love it doing the same thing. I went to school for it. its a passion for me. people and animals save each other all the time, thats the stuff that matters. a good pet care system helps foster a good environment. I own pets so i understand all sides. I always follow the instructions given first to me first because every dog and every routine is different. tips and tricks can work for certain situations but at the end of the day, pet parent knows their dog best. How I personally take care of my pets is through getting to know their individual personalities and building a system that runs with my lifestyle, but also taking them to dog parks using plate puzzles to stimulate them, and personal time because, at the end of the day they are just as as much as aware as we are.
“Once again our two dogs had an amazing three days with Maddison and Wesley! They were not just taken care of but truly pampered. We got lots of pictures and updates, it was evident our furry friends were happy and comfortable!! We're grateful for the excellent care and highly recommend their services!”
About: We are a family of 6 with only a caged bearded dragon and 2 playful friendly cats. We would love to take care of your pet as if it were our own. I do not have a TV nor electronics so my focus can be loving and caring for your precious baby!!! I’m currently working part time so taking care of your pet would be a joy. My kids ranging from ages 7 to 14 come home after school and would be excited to entertain your pup. I have a beautiful neighborhood with very low traffic, many beautiful wilderness walks, a fenced backyard and neighbors who love dogs. Your furry friends comfortability will be our number one priority.

They were more than wonderful! I was kept informed about my Sugar’s visit and received pictures of her enjoying herself. They will be my go to for times that I have something to do that I can’t keep Sugar with me. If you need the absolute best pet care, they are it!!!!
Kaylei took excellent care of our doxie while we went away for the weekend. He can be anxious when he’s not with me, but she was so sweet to him and he was able to settle right in. Kaylei sent plenty of pictures and updated us on how our baby was doing. We will DEFINITELY be leaving our pup with her again! I would recommend her to take care of your pet too!
Elle took care of my dog as though he were jer own and he was even sad to leave when I picked him up! She accepted my booking on very short notice and was flexible with the length of stay and pick-up time. She also sent me plenty of updates with pictures throughout and was quick to communicate. I highly recommend her and will be bringing my dog back!
Hands-down the best pet sitter!!!! Awesome experience, highly recommend, and will most definitely use again. Maya is very attentive and kept me updated with pictures and messages. Leaving my kiddos in her care gave us complete peace of mind. In fact, she is the only person we trust to watch our dogs. Thanks again Maya.
Autumn took excellent care of our dog, Ripley! She truly went above and beyond, sending frequent updates and pictures throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town. Ripley got plenty of love, attention, and even went on fun adventures. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Autumn!
Benisha was great! She watched my chocolate lab puppy for 2 weeks while I was home for Christmas and he was so so loved the whole time! She sent me detailed text of his day to day schedule everyday and soooo many pictures and videos. He was so sad to leave her home at the end, he had so much fun!
She’s Awesome and so sweet!! Great personality, and super friendly, she also has amazing dogs making a great company to any visitor. She made our trip so easy for us, always keeping us in touch sending pictures and how good my dog was doing. Definitely my dog we’ll stay with her next time for sure.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Harker Heights 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 Harker Heights 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 Harker Heights.
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 can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

You and your Harker Heights 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
