“This was our 1st boarding our(Golden) Tucker & our (Golden doodle) Bella. What a great place! Everything went fantastic! We will definitely go back again when we need to. They are animal lovers and very nice people! Thank you so much ❤️”
“Michelle is an amazing and caring dog sitter. She worked with me as my dates changed which helped me a great deal. She's also well knowledgeable about dog's behavior. I will hire her again for my dog, Josie.”
“Ashlyn was very attentive to my dog and very accommodating. My puppy felt comfortable with her. She has a fenced doggy park in her complex so it’s very safe. She updated me and was quickly responsive. I would definitely use her services again. My puppy is high energy and by the time I picked her up she was happy to see me and went straight to bed. I recommend Ashlyn since she’s on top of what your dog needs. Especially love and care.”
“Amber and her husband took great care of my little girl. Amber sent a picture of her and informed me of the positive interaction with her dogs. I will definitely utilize her services again in the future. Thanks so much Amber.”
About: Hello! My name is Aleisha and I am a Senior at UCF. I am a Theatre major. I have worked with dogs and children for many years. I am very loving, caring, and responsible. I will make sure your animal is loved and right at home! My own personal dog had many special preferences, so I know how to deal with many situations! I love animals and would love to get to know your family! I work well with lazy or hyper dogs and my schedule is very flexible! I will play and cuddle with them! I will also ensure your home is kept in top shape. Your dog won’t even know you’re gone with all the fun I will provide them with! Thank you!
“Very friendly and accommodating. Great care given to my spoiled and separation anxiety dog. They refused to give up on her! I offered multiple times to come get her but they dealt with her spoiled behavior and anxiety from being away from me. I never knew this was an issue! We are going to attend training (mostly for me) as I learn how to not let her be with me all of the time. These people are saints and I would definitely book again with them,but only after wete trainedbetter to be fair to sitters! Thank you both! You deserve an award for the great care you gave my spoiled girl!”
“Amazing as always! The stories we hear about our Gingers stay are ones that happen at home so we know she feels at home with Christine and the family. Look no further if you're looking for a sitter you can trust unequivocally”
“Skippy loves to go stay with Paige! She does a great job and sends pictures and updates. Great communication. Nice fenced in back yard! Will definitely look for Paige the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Lisa was amazing. I received daily updates with pictures, which calmed my nerves since Bailey never said with anyone but family. I will definitely use her again and will recommend her to anybody that needs a dog sitter”
“Angela was great. Highly recommend her and definitely will be using her again. Receiving pics of my boys was appreciated to calm this dog Mom’s nerves (first time leaving them anywhere)”
“Lydia is absolutely amazing! Her home is clean, welcoming and was ready to board our dog overnight. We really appreciate her and our dog returned home happy! We will be using Lydia from now on.”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Heavyn was wonderful!! We had to board our pup for a long stretch for our wedding and honeymoon; during that time, she was super responsive and sent lots of pics of our little guy. It was such a relief to know he was well taken care of during such a hectic time!”

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, 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 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 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 OH 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.
