“Samantha & her family cared for Rosie so well, like she was part of the family! Rosie has a lot of energy and their family and their own dog have Rosie so much attention and opportunity to play! They were so kind and great with communication and flexibility. Rosie will miss her puppy friend Jetta and their family! Would definitely recommend:)”

“My puppy Thunder is a handful and being a Ridgeback still needs a lot of work. I appreciated Christina's professional guidance on how to continue to train him. It helped him out to be at her house and under her care.”
“As always our girls were given the best care by Amber and her son. We had to extend the stay by one night due to unforseen circumstances and Amber was so understanding and accommodating which in turn relieved so much stress as we were out of town. We cannot thank Amber enough ❤️”

About: I have taken care of many rescues puppies to seniors that need extra care throughout my life. From my own to friends and families pets as well. I work part-time as a personal trainer with a flexible schedule that lets me be home when I need. I still have pets of my own so I schedule around them. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own so your pet doesn’t have to be alone. We are also close to a park for walks. I also have kennels if your dog prefer a safe space for themselves.
“We have a young nervous Maltese and was so nervous about leaving our baby for the weekend. Kamri was great with her and us, LOL! She communicated with is daily and sent pictures of our baby so we could see how she was doing, putting our fears about leaving Maple to rest. Thank you Kamri for taking such great care of our baby! We will definitely use Kamri as our babysitter in the future!”
“Kristen took such great care of my senior yorkie! He was happy and comfortable with her, and we were not worried about him at all! I will definitely use her again for boarding.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Jenna! This was my first time using Rover because my usual kennel was booked, but I will not be going back to using a kennel after this experience. Jenna was so professional, caring, and communicative- dealing with an anxious pup during thunderstorms and fireworks like a champ. And the pics! It was clear to see that my fur baby was part of her family while we were away. Jenna is an angel!”
About: Hi! Of course I love animals (dogs are my favorite though) and I love taking care of people's pets. I can administer medicine if needed. I can do walks or hikes. I can take them swimming if you'd like (weather permitting). I can just sit with them and give them companionship if that's what they are into. I can do whatever you need me to do so you can feel comfortable leaving your animals. I worked in a dog daycare for 3 years and several vet offices so I understand dog language very well. I like to treat other people's babies as if they were my own. I understand to most of us (me included) these babies are our real children so I take it very serious when it comes to caring for other people's animals. I foster dogs as well.
About: Currently I have an austrailian shepherd of 2 years. I've always owned a dog since I was young and honestly really love them! On several occasions I have pet sit for friends that have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I am working full time as an engineer so unfortunately I can only board on weekends nights. It's the most time I can assure your pet actually have freedom to walk and have fun! I do have another dog that is still a puppy and energetic and loves to play! So your fur baby will never be alone! I do not have a yard but we have a big open field in the apartment complex that is a good walking trail!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Houston home-away-from-home, 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 Houston.
<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 Houston 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 , 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 .
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 AR 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.
