“I needed to leave for a funeral, for a week(last minute). Franco immediately accepted my booking. I even forgot to bring my dogs food and Franco already had it covered. He responded every time I sent a text with a picture or video and a response in less than 10 minutes if not 5. Even the times I was distracted Franco would send a video of my dog comfortable and having fun. He also helped me out with a few issues I was having with my dog including (mounting). Gave me tips on things I could do better and very obviously taught my dog as well. I would never leave my dog with anyone else but Franco in the future! Even planning on booking a couple days each month just so my dog can hangout and have a great time!! You cannot go wrong booking with Franco!!!”

Houston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our dog Buddy stayed with Randy for a second time, as our family had a quick overnight getaway. Everything was even smoother than the first stay. Randy was very communicative and attentive. When we dropped Buddy off, he headed straight inside to see the other pups.
Kyler was very nice and accommodated a pretty last minute booking for my pup. He was timely with his communication and allowed me flexibility with pick up and drop off times. He provided regular check-ins with pictures and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in his care! Will definitely use his services for my dog in the future :)
Tanner is friendly, personable, and pays close attention to detail when provided care tips for my pup. It was reassuring to see my pup enjoying himself in the photo updates and seeing how active he was! I highly recommend Tanner as someone who will not only ensure that your pups needs are met but for some doggy play time as well.
If you want your dog to feel safe and right at home, definitely book with Erica. This was our first time going out of town for two days, and I was extremely worried but from the very first meet-and-greet, Erica made everything smooth, welcoming, and stress-free, especially when introducing the other dogs. My dog was able to settle in comfortably, roam freely both indoors and outdoors, and play with other pups who all seemed genuinely happy. He had the best time, was well taken care of, and I received multiple updates each day, which really eased my mind. If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog in a safe, loving, and fun environment book Erica. You won’t regret it.
Sharon has a lot of knowledge and experience working with dogs, and it shows! Timmy felt comfortable with her from the very beginning and she was very kind and patient with him. We got regular updates with some great glamor shots throughout our trip and never had to worry! Timmy would love to stay with her again in the future!
