“I’m so late leaving this review but better late than never! Martie is so great with Bela! She has such a good time during her visit and Martie always keeps me updated on how she’s doing. I can’t recommend or thank Martie enough!”
“Mayra and her parents took great care of Lucky when I was away on a trip! Always kept me posted and sent me videos! He seemed happy and safe! Thank to this great family! Totally recommend them!”
“Jessica is the real deal. Out of three Rover bookings, she's easily the best sitter I've had. Setting up drop off and pick up couldn't have been simpler, and she and her husband welcomed my dog like one of their own. She sent photo updates the whole time, so I never had to wonder how my pup was doing. Honestly, it was the best boarding experience we've had. If I'm ever back in the area, I'm booking with her again without a second thought.”
“Aron stayed in touch with updates on Kehlani. Sent several photos through out the stay and answered back right away when messaged. Will be using Aron and his family for future trips we have”
“Rey and JD are super friendly and communicative. They respond quickly when I have reached out. They regularly send proactive updates via text and include videos of my dog playing with their pups; my dog has a great time with them. I trust them to take care of my pup the way I would. I highly recommend them for their sitting services.”
“Melissa took amazing care of our 2 dogs and she kept me up to date on everything that went on. Every feed and medication, she reached out when she gave it to them. She even offered to feed my dog a science diet because he was having an upset stomach and wasn’t eating. I would recommend her to any owner looking to board and I will continue to use her on my many future travel plans. 10/10”
“April was so sweet and loved our Frank like we do. I think he was very comfortable while we were out of town. She stayed in contact with me the entire time and relinquishing any concerns I had about him being away. We will definitely use April as our pet sitter again!”
“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bailey! She sent us daily photo updates where she took her walking, riding and playing with her lovely dogs which completely put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got back, Bailey was happy, calm, and well-exercised. We would book her again in a heartbeat!"”
“This was Rocko second time staying with Sanchita. He is well taken care of and I know he enjoys his stay. When we picked him up he was heisted to leave. Thank you so much Sanchita.”
About: I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe and understood. I focus on keeping pets calm, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working full time but will still have time to walk or care for your pets after 4pm on weekdays and all day weekends In my home, pets get a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and routine. I stick closely to their normal feeding, potty, and exercise schedules to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect your space while maintaining your pet’s routine exactly as instructed, including walks, enrichment, cuddles, and medication if needed. I will also try regular updates and photos of your pup so you always know what they are doing :)
“We are huge fans of Bo! Our dog Teddy is so happy and well taken care of when we pick him up! Bo always sends tons of pictures and updates that we absolutely love. Will definitely book again!”
About: What sets me apart is the space and care I provide. I live on 2.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to safely explore, play, and burn off energy. As both a lifelong dog and horse lover, I’m comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to help them feel at home. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family, providing lots of attention, playtime, and affection while keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether your dog loves to run, relax, or just wants extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care in a safe, country setting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom to my toddler. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive lots of love and supervision in a calm, family-oriented environment. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love incorporating them into our daily routine! In my home, pets have plenty of room to play and explore on our property while always being supervised. I provide a clean, alm environment with lots of attention, playtime, and affction so they feel like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the home and the pet’s routine.

I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care, attention, and space I provide for every dog. As a full-time homemaker and dedicated dog mom, I have the time to give each guest the supervision, companionship, and affection they deserve instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I have hands-on experience caring for my own two Cane Corsos, a large working breed that requires consistency, patience, and confident handling. This experience has taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, and create a calm, safe environment for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. My home offers a fully fenced 2.41-acre country property, giving dogs plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play. I also understand that not every dog enjoys group play, so I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable, relaxed, and safe. I believe every dog is unique. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions, feeding schedule, exercise routine, and preferences so your pet feels as close to home as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. For me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s providing a loving, trustworthy home where your furry family member is treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I’m a full-time homemaker and devoted dog mom. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention for every dog in my care. Each day includes supervised outdoor time on our fully fenced 2.41-acre property, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and a comfortable place to rest indoors. I also make sure every guest follows their owner’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. As a furry parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them patience, kindness, and personalized care throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where dogs can enjoy themselves while their owners have complete peace of mind. At Country Paws Retreat, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a peaceful, loving home where every dog is treated like family. My 2.41-acre fully fenced property offers plenty of secure space to run, play, explore, and relax in a safe country setting. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new takes trust. That’s why I provide attentive, personalized care, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and affection throughout the day. I keep a close eye on every dog to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their stay. As a proud owner of two friendly Cane Corsos, I have experience caring for large breeds and understand that every dog has a unique personality. If needed, dogs can be separated during playtime or rest periods to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Whether your pup is here for daycare or an extended stay, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in a clean, secure, and caring environment where they’ll receive the attention they deserve. My goal is for every guest to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back!
“Tami was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Luke, this past weekend. From the moment we met, I felt confident in her ability to take care of him. She was friendly, professional, and clearly has a great love for dogs. Throughout the weekend, she kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Luke seemed so happy and relaxed in her care. I could tell he was getting plenty of attention, playtime, and love. When I picked him up, he was calm and content, which is a sure sign that he had a great time with Tami. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Tami, for taking such good care of Luke!”

Alina was kind enough to take our pup after another sitter cancelled. She was so patient and kind as our dog worked through some separation anxiety the first two days. With Alina's care and attention, she adjusted well. Alina was in communication with us through texts and videos, and assured us our pet would be fine...and she was! We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to leave our dog with her again.
Destiny did an amazing job with our Puppy Fifi. She kept us informed of her daily activities and was very helpful with taking care of our little one. I can honestly say that my husband and I will be taking more trips as we feel very comfortable with having her watch Fifi.
Stephanie was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bailey! She sent us daily photo updates where she took her walking, riding and playing with her lovely dogs which completely put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got back, Bailey was happy, calm, and well-exercised. We would book her again in a heartbeat!"

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.
100% of sitters in Harlingen 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 Harlingen 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 Harlingen.
<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 Harlingen 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.
