“I can’t put into words how extremely thankful I am that I chose Idalia as my dog sitter! I had an unfortunate incident happen while I was out of the country and she went above and beyond for my dog. She calmed my nerves reassuring me that she would do whatever she could to make my dog feel more comfortable. Idalia is an angel and I would choose her and only her to watch my fur baby from here on out. You can tell she truly loves animals and will treat your fur baby like her own.”
“Aseela is so nice and sent so many photos! She was patient with my dogs to get them to relax in a new environment. She took them on walks on the less busy streets because they get overstimulated easily.”
“She was great to send messages, pics and videos. I knew Rocksi was good, she even lost some needed weight with all the walking she got and a blanket she loves. Thanks again!”
“Lidia took great care of my two dogs! She is very communicative, sending photos and videos! This is the second time she has watched my dogs and will definitely be using her again!”
“It was a pleasure having Darius watch my senior child. Darius was accommodating with my last minute request. He made sure to give me updates about my pup and followed my instructions when it came to his care. My dog seemed to be in good spirits when I arrived to pick him up and that let me know he enjoyed having Darius as his caretaker for the weekend.”
“Isabella took great care of our dog! He can be anxious with new people but she was very patient and understanding. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands! The constant updates and pics of him really put us at ease and was so so appreciated.”
“Steven was fantastic with our pups. He set up a meet and greet on short notice and we dropped our dogs the next day. Daily pics and making sure our smaller pup gets her medication was very much appreciated!! Thank you so much Steven!”
“Michelle is an excellent sitter. My little dog is shy at first, but she warmed to her quickly. Michelle has a lot of experience with small dogs and lives in an environment that is safe for them which is really important to me. She sent regular and informative updates throughout the stay. She asks questions to assure your dog’s well-being and comfort and is a very caring person. I’ll book with her again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Owen was great. Very responsive and my pup seems to enjoy his time while we were aware. My only ask in the future is that he provides pictures throughout the day. Otherwise, we will definitely be booking with Owen again.”
“Fanny and her family were great! They sent constant updates and pictures throughout my dogs stay with them. I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Nydia and her husband have been great with my older Jack Russel. They send regular updates and my pup is always excited to see them. I have used them for boarding 3 times and hope to continue with them.”
“Jacqueline did a great job boarding my maltipoo, Rosie. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos while I was away. Rosie and Jacqueline’s dog got along great as well 😺”
“Paulina treated our little fur baby like he was her own. Extremely communicative and made sure our little guy was happy and healthy. Thank you for taking care of Forrest Paulina!!”
“Alyssa was fantastic with our dog! She helped us out at the last minute for a trip we were taking. She was very accessible and answered all of our questions. Alyssa cared for our dog like it was her own, and provided updates on a regular basis. I could tell our dog felt at home with her, and really enjoyed his time. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone in need of dog sitting services.”

We had to book last minute and were happily accepted by Ynes. When arriving, she lived in a gated community, walked us through and showed us fenced yard. I felt very safe. My pup stopped shaking with her, he's very anxious. I told her he usually wont eat with sitters, she sent me a pic of him eating. She always answered my texts immediately, sent many pics. She put us at ease and we will definitely use her again!
Jocelyn and her family are absolutely amazing. She has watched Koffee throughout my entire four years living in Houston, and I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to meet her family and trust them with my dog. She is incredibly responsive and always sends timely pictures and updates, which gives you exactly the peace of mind you need when traveling and leaving behind your beloved pet. Her family is truly the best, and I can’t thank them enough for always taking such wonderful care of Koffee. I would recommend Jocelyn without hesitation.
Renee and her husband were great with Lola. Lola has bladder cancer and just a couple days before her stay she started showing progression symptoms (including bleeding), needless to say I was extremely stressed and worried about leaving her and going on my trip, and also very worried about how they would react to all these things, but they were great to her and were unbothered by it all. I could tell Lola loved being at their house which is all the sign I need to tell me Lola loved her vacation days too! Thank you Renee!
First time using Rover and my first time leaving my dog with someone else. Brittany couldn’t have made the whole experience any easier. Meeting her beforehand gave me all the reassurance I needed, and throughout the stay she kept me updated with regular messages and pictures. It was a long stay, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She provided the best care and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would highly recommend Brittany and will definitely be using her again! 🙂
Idalia was so great with Elsie! She was super accommodating and really took the time to understand Elsie’s specific needs. I also really appreciated that she agreed to drop Elsie off at my home when I asked her on short notice! She sent me lots of pictures and detailed updates throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Elsie got walks every day and was with Idalia throughout the day, so I knew she was getting plenty of attention and care. Elsie really seemed to enjoy her time with Idalia and Cloud, and it was so nice seeing how happy and comfortable she was in the pictures. Idalia was attentive, caring, and great at communicating. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️
Alexis was amazing! She took on a last minute booking to board our kitten and was very flexible with timing. She had great communication and would send pictures and videos which was really nice. She seemed to have a lot of knowledge and experience with cats and even gave us some tips. Alexis kept her cats separate from our kitten as she could tell Melody was a bit nervous. She was very caring and mindful of Melody’s needs (aka endless pets and attention). Overall amazing experience and would recommend Alexis
Lauren was amazing! Maple is usually very sad when we leave, to the point where she won’t leave the couch for hours. She worked with her the entire time to make her more comfortable and get her out of her shell. Eventually she was playing a little and running around. This was a first time for anyone who’s watched her! She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. We loved her so much and would definitely go back to her.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
