“What a fabulous first experience with Rover! Couldn’t have asked for better care of our Charlie. Frances was super responsive, available at all times, willing to let us pick him up late, kept in touch, sent lots of photos and even offered to give Charlie a bath when I asked about places to give him a bath. She is the best!”
“My dog Tuxx had a wonderful stay for daycare. Rachel and Justine were super kind, welcoming and even took adorable photos of Tuxx. Thank you for taking care of him - would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Yan was a great Dogsitter for my Theo. Yan sent several photos throughout the day and I could tell Theo was enjoying his stay and play dates with the other dogs. I definitely will use her servíces again, if she’ll have us back. ☺️”
“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”
“Mike is amazing! He’s great at communication - I get updates all day long on the dogs and he also takes them on a ton of walks during the day. I can tell he really loves the dogs and my dogs run to his house from the car every time we arrive. Mike is also super accommodating to my work schedule and other things going on in my personal life - highly recommend!”
“Shristi & Nabin were great with Max! Patient, flexible, soft spoken, Also great communicators, they send plenty of photos and respond quickly. Would definitely recommend and would book again!”
About: My wife and I have been dog sitting for multiple friends over the years and as Rover sitters since August 2020! We both love meeting new furry friends (and their owners) - we have 2 small dogs of our own. We do prefer to sit dogs with low to medium energy levels (to accommodate our elderly dog) and 2 years or older, but we can definitely make exceptions on age and energy level with a Meet & Greet. I work from home, so I’m readily available to keep your pet companion company while you’re away on vacation, business or if your grumpy mother-in-law who doesn’t like dogs is in town. Our home has a wide open floor plan with plenty of room to accommodate the even rowdy (but well mannered), playful ones, and has a very secure backyard. Happy to take your loved one on walks (except during afternoons in summer), on outings to the park and make any other accommodations to make their stay as comfortable and stress free as possible while they’re separated from their 'hooman'.
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
“Absolutely recommend Daniel, My pet absolutely loves spending time with him and gets so excited every time he sees him. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and care, which gives me total peace of mind whenever I’m away. He is professional and very reliable. He also keeps me posted by sharing photos and videos!”
“Tex came home happy and tired! I can tell he was well taken care of and enjoyed his time at Emma’s. Emma was wonderful to work with and sent multiple pictures throughout the day. Would definitely book again! 😊”

“Hey everyone, Denise is the pet sitter you want for your pet babies! My dog Daisy was so excited to go to her home each day. Before we even got the truck stopped she would jump down to the floorboard ready to get out! Denise is so accommodating and we just felt safe leaving Daisy with her. You won’t be disappointed!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 30 years and a dedicated pet sitter for the past decade, although I only joined Rover recently. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite things in life. I also volunteer at the Austin Animal Shelter, where I get to meet pets of all personalities, and I love discovering what makes each one unique. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved and understood. Whether your pet prefers long walks, high energy games of fetch or snuggling on the couch, I’m all in! My goal is to always provide care that feels just as comforting and fun as home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work in an office M-F but otherwise I’m generally home. This means I’m available for early morning, evening and weekend visits. When I’m home, I’m fully focused on your pet, whether that’s feeding, playtime, snuggles, or keeping them company. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for your pet’s routine. I have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door for safe, easy outdoor access. My 10-year-old Shih Tzu, Fiona, is very calm and welcoming with visiting pets. I love taking walks, playing games, and keeping animals engaged so they stay happy and never bored. Your pet will also get plenty of affection—pets, hugs, and lots of love. I can crate your dog at night if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to snooze on the couch like my own pup.
“Thorough, accommodating and a good instinct for animals, Nanda was great for keeping our two heeler mixes company with her while we worked over three long days. Great with both our puppy and seven-year-old, she's a relief to have as an option to watch the dogs.”
About: Located at Hills of Bear Creek, in a quiet neighborhood and fenced yard. There is a walk trail nearby. I am home almost 24/7, with the surveillance on 24/7 for everybody’s safety and pets’. I love animals, they will be treat like they are my own. I will try my best to stick to the routine that your pet is used to, that means I will follow any rules you have for them. I love to go on a lot of walks. I can bring your pet along if they like to walk or run. It depends on their stamina, personality, and routine you have for them. However, I will never go for walk in the dark. They will never be outside unsupervised, even though I own a fenced yard. That is against rover rules and I will abide by it. I always have bowls for water and foods, toys, and treats or bones available if needed. I will also cook real meat or vegetables meals if your pets need them. , please do discuss with me any further about this if this service is required About me: I am a stay home mom with children. When I grew up, I had variety animals. I once owned a monkey, fox, cat, dog, rat, gerbil, guniea pig, and fish. I have one shy cat, Kelsie. She will warm up after a night. She likes to stay back and observe at first. She gets along with dogs and cats, however she is not socialized. As complimentary, I will do one meet and greet before schedule sitting. Your pets and aiko can meet and we can see how things go from there. (I wish I could bring Kelsie to meet/greet. She is a house cat, and doesn’t ever leave) I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work from home. I am always home and around your pets. I go out for 2 hours for errands, or any sports. I will always communicate if I have to go out for more than 3-4 hours in ahead of time. I have a fenced yard and I do have gate on the stairs to prevent dogs from going upstairs if dogs are not allowed upstairs.
About: Hello! My name is Jade and I would love to meet your furry friends! I started Rover a few years ago but had to stop due to time constraints from my full time job, but now I’m committing all my time to pet care. Currently, I have three cats and two dogs, who are all rescues. I’ve had both of my dogs since they were only a few months old. So I understand the trials and tribulations of puppyhood…puppy training, crate training, obedience training, and leash walking. Hiccup and Paris both love other dogs! They have experience with dogs of all sizes! Hiccup is more of a cuddler and couch potato. Paris is higher energy and loves to play. They would be so excited to have a dog come stay with them. Feel free to set up a meet and greet! I stay at home full time now and my husband also works from home. So your pet will have constant adult supervision during their stay. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced play area in my neighborhood. I also live really close to a large public park with walking trails.

Heather was an absolute gem with our high-energy golden retriever, Luca! She handled his energy perfectly and kept us in the loop with frequent video updates that showed just how happy and settled he was. We especially appreciated how she accommodated our request to keep him off the furniture. We'd book Heather again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

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 Hays 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 2,658 sitters in Hays, 84% 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.
