“This is my second time boarding my dog with Karenly, and she was amazing yet again! She took extra care of my sweet Poppy and I’m so grateful! She communicated consistently about Poppy’s daily behaviors and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dog. I would recommend her to anyone 🥰”
“Our English Bulldog Harley had great stay at Anna's. She has a deep passion for caring for animals and we knew Harley was in good hands for the week long stay. She is great about keeping you updated with pictures, video's and text messages. Her home and fenced in backyard allows the dogs to move about as they choose and need. You can leave your dog with Anna knowing he or she is being well cared for. I highly recommend Anna for your DogVacay needs.”
“We cannot recommend Catherine enough! She watched our two dogs for over a week, and we were able to completely relax on our trip knowing they were in the best hands. She sent us sweet updates and pictures every single day, which we absolutely loved! It was so clear that she loved our pups like her own. Her home is incredibly welcoming and perfectly set up for dogs to feel safe and comfortable. Plus, her own dog is an absolute sweetie and got along beautifully with ours. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nice family! Their dog and cat got along with my cat, and their little girls were very excited to play with my cat. I think this house would be a good choice for your dog. 5 stars”
“Amanda made us feel so comfortable with leaving our high energy puppy by sending thorough updates and lots of pictures! Lots of love and cuddles were given to make him feel at home. We will definitely be bringing Tex back to her. Thank you Amanda!”
“Daniela is a fantastic and highly dedicated pet sitter! Her communication was excellent, and she always replied to my messages incredibly fast. Daniela sent constant photo updates throughout the day, from the moment Mía woke up until the last picture before bedtime. Thanks to that updates, I could tell by Mía’s eyes, ears, tail, and sleeping positions just how comfortable, happy, and relaxed she was. Additionally, Daniela perfectly followed the instructions to administer the medication prescribed by Mía’s vet. Daniela gave me immense peace of mind. As an added bonus, she speaks Spanish, which was an advantage for me. I highly recommend Daniela 100%, and I will definitely book with her again!”
“It has been our first time leaving our dog with Ruth and we are sold. Already booking more stays during the year with her as her service was exceptional. She was very nurturing, sweet and patient with Bob. She sent us updates and photos often and was always positive giving us feedback. Her house is clean, spacious, comfortable and with lots of areas around to walk the dogs. I will highly recommend Ruth.”
“Gina is AMAZING!!! This was my first time using Rover and she came thru for me last minute and send pictures the entire time and gave me updates and she took such amazing care of Sarah!! I felt so comfortable with Gina that I’m using her every time I have to go out of town when she’s available!❤️❤️❤️”
“Frit took great care of my dog while away on a last minute trip. Very accommodating. She sent daily updates/pics and he came back smelling better than he did when he left. I would definitely use her again!”
“My old pal was so happy, he didn’t missed his home at all. Walked and played like he was at home. I am so grateful with Mitchell, from now on I know who will take care of my old pal. Thanks Mitchell”
“Jeri took great care of our dog and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, kind, and attentive, and she kept us updated with photos and messages. Our dog looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciated her professionalism and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Bentley had a week long stay with Adriana. She sent pics during his stay which are always comforting to see him happy and healthy which helped us enjoy our vacation knowing our fur baby was doing well back home. He was able to roam in the large yard and we opted for the bath service at the end of his stay. He got a sweet thank you goodie bag when we picked him up - a very thoughtful touch. We would definitely book with Adriana again.”
“Monika was great & went above and beyond to make my dog clemmy, who is quite anxious, to feel safe and comfortable in her home. She was patient with her while she acclimated to the environment and sent lots of photos and videos of her over the course of my trip to let me know she was safe and cared for. I really appreciate the attention and care given to my sweet, shy girl. Clemmy was able to open up and get completely comfortable with Monika.”
“Oliver and Amy were just what we asked for. They were AMAZING! They sent constant updates on our baby to show he was enjoying his visit. They are really good people. We definitely will book again for our next trip.”
“Svetlana and her family once again took amazing care of our cat, Zena. I think my cat didn’t want to go home because she loved it there. I will bring her to Svetlana again!”

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 Hockley 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 Hockley 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 Hockley.
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 Hockley. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Hockley 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.
