“Jennifer is always so good with our dogs. We wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else. Always appreciate her thoughtfulness to keep us updated on how they’re doing and her loving spirit. Highly recommended her services!!”
About: Hello I'm Kate! I have two pugs (7 and 14), and two kittens (inside/outside). I've been pet sitting for about 16 years. I worked at a large boarding facility for over a year (walking, daycare, bathing). My pug Abbie Gayle is a senior baby so she gets lots of meds daily and diaper changes. I love being home with my fur babies! Getting to meet and spend our time with others fur babies is a great way to spend our day. We recently moved to Lindale. So I currently have an open schedule. I will eventually get a part time job. Then I will base my pet sitting schedule around my availability. My boyfriend and I live in a neighborhood with a fenced in backyard, with our 2 pugs Abbie Gayle & Elvis. We also have 2 kittens, Tommy & Sky, they like to hang inside/outside.
“Linda was fantastic with our dog! She and her husband were the friendliest people and welcomed our pup into their home like he was their own. They took such good care of him and provided updates on his care while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for somewhere to board their pets.”
“My GSP, Olive, got to stay 2 nights with Christina & her 2 dogs and she loved it!! Christina was great to send me pictures and updates. Coming up, I’m sending Olive to her for a month! I trust her & her husband - very knowledgeable about different dog behaviors. Highly recommend 😁”
“Heather is the lady you want to watch your pet. My 7 month old dog had a great time. She had playmates, great care, & lots of attention. I was kept up to date on her daily activities with photos. I think my dog would rather live there with all the activities & attention she had. LoL I highly recommend Heather. She’s a very nice & sweet person along with great pet caring skills.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of my own in the past, and keeping my daughter's dogs when she is traveling. I enjoy caring for smaller dogs. I am retired, and enjoy taking care of dogs and spending time with dogs. Pet care is ideal for me. I have lots of time to give to the dogs. I have no pets of my own, a fenced yard, and often take care of my daughters dogs when she is traveling. I have had several cocker spaniel dogs over the years.
“I highly recommend Kimberly! She took excellent care of my dog and sent daily updates on how things were going. She was wonderful to work with and has excellent communication. I drove an hour out of our way to specifically use Kimberly and I would gladly do it again! Thanks Kimberly!”
“Sydney and her family are so great! They are very communicative and engaging while keeping our Duke. I will definitely be using her again when we are in need of boarding in the area!”
“Chelbi took great care of my little guy! I had a last minute booking request and she was able to accommodate him graciously. She worked with my schedule and he had the best time! I will definitely be booking with her again!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Hoard 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 Hoard 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 Hoard.
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 Hoard. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Hoard 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.
