“My two German shepherds had a great time with Iuliia during their two week stay. They are high energy and a lot to deal with. I believe they received excellent care and will definitely have them stay with Iuliia again. They got to meet a handful of other dogs. It was much better than having them at a traditional boarder where they would be in a kennel most of the day. I received many great photos and videos during their stay. Thank you!”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“I can’t thank Stephanie enough! We took a long trip overseas and she watched our dog Bruce and treated him so well! We would receive updates daily, she clipped his nails, gave him oatmeal baths to help calming his skin and loved on him as if it was her own! Not to mention that our dog had a blast with her dog Fern! Highly recommend and would definitely use her services again!”
“Mr. Richard and Mrs. Cheryl were awesome! I was so happy to have them taking care my dogs. They love my dogs and they updated everything about them when the dogs with them! I appriciate that and thank you so much!!!”
“Norman took care of Bree during the christmas and new year break! He always sent pics of her and kept constant communication regarding her updates. I could tell from Bree's body language that she was very cared for and got lots of love. Highly recommend them!!”
About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
“Stephanie was fantastic! As a first time Rover user, I was hesitant to use the app, but Stephenie was so helpful from beginning to end! She answered all my questions prior to drop off, and was in constant communication even when we were away. She provided daily updates, and the cutest pictures of our pup and her new doggy besties at her home. She was nothing short of amazing! On pick up she even gifted our puppy a toy she was obsessed with at her home and provided Polaroids of our dog for us to take home with us. I highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up I have a had all types of dogs that I owned or took care of solely my responsibility. I have had a pit bull, frenchie, Kane Corso , Basset hound, Shih Tzu, and Husky so I am used different sizes, fur, breathing issues, eating habits, even leg issues. I still love them all the same but I knew care had to be taken with a different approach individually. I was always taught dogs are family too and being away from home I’m missing apart of my family. So I wouldn’t just treat this like any other dog I would treat your pet like my own. Pet care would fit get into my routine I am an early bird because of college. Most of my classes are online I only have one in person on Tuesday and Thursday at 5:00 pm. So the rest of the time is really mine to decide what to do. My apartment complex is really great for dogs we have a beautiful trail right outside of are complex. We have a doggy park in the middle of it too. My unit is on the first floor so we have a backyard with a fence perfect for easy access potty breaks. My roommates have a cats but have agreed to put them away if not comfortable. As for daily routine of eating it really depends on what you think is best for your dog so say your is only good at intaking half cup at a time and only early or at set times. I’ll make sure to follow it because I know change can create stress on dogs. Also if your dog is trained a certain ways like say they aren’t allowed on couches, beds or told to sit before going outside. I would like to know so that I can keep the same training going so they don’t lose the habit. They are allowed on couches and beds if the owner says it is allowed.
“Morgan took great care of my border collie/healer mix dog while I was gone on a 5 day trip. She has 2 other similar sized dogs, and mine got along well with them. She sent pictures to me during the stay too. I'll definitely use her service in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m great with routines and can follow any specific instructions you have—because I know every pet is different. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, with time built in for play, feeding, and companionship. I do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a yard, but I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time through regular walks and supervised potty breaks. Safety is my top priority—I always keep dogs on a leash outside and stay aware of our surroundings. Inside, pets have a calm, secure space to relax, and I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and any special needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels at home.
“Marlee has an incredible time while Ande watched her! She kept me updated with pictures of Marlee often and took her hiking! When I got home from getting Marlee she was exhausted from all the plays and fun she had during her stay! I will for sure be using Ande again next time I need a sitter! Marlee was well taken care of and she even sent home some treats. You can trust her with your pup :)”
About: I’ve always had pet care and training come instinctively to me. I use walking dogs as a way for my personal means of exercising as well as for the dog. Anything from a casual walk to a 30 minute jog! I recently lost my dog so I enjoy meeting others. If you want someone to walk your dog more than just around the block, I’d love to establish something regular! I do not have a dog of my own right now so my schedule is flexible. If you have a dog, I’d be more than happy to go for a run with it or long walk if they were interested. I’m very adaptable to everyone’s situation. I can stick to your normal schedule in your home as best as I can. I won’t ever leave your house with it looking any different than how you left it.

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.
94% of sitters in Harwood 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 Harwood 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 Harwood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Harwood 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.
