“Jacqueline has 2 babies who were calm and sweet. I know Sky enjoyed her time with her 2 new friends, as she loves calm dogs. Jacqueline sent many pictures and videos and responded very quickly. Sky is home now, pooped, from all the fun she was having. Hopefully I can book this amazing sitter again in the future.”

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was in high school and pursued a career in Veterinary Medicine up until I switched careers in grad school. I worked at the Philadelphia Zoo for 4 years, have trained service dogs in college, as well as cared for various domestic, farm and exotic animals. Although I switched careers, I’ve become the go to person for dog sitting and have been told by multiple people that I’m the only person they trust their family (pets) with and their dogs always come home with good spirits after spending time with me! As an entrepreneur my schedule is super flexible and I work from home most times, which means frequent potty breaks, monitoring and playtime. Although I’m not a trainer, I do practice positive reinforcement & soft skills if I have your pet for an extended period of time. I’m excited to get to know your pet! I’m a full time entrepreneur so I make my own schedule, have flexible work hours and work from home majority of the time. I’m also very active, so getting outside for long cardio, outside of potty breaks, is expected! The first thing I like to do when caring for pets is “dog-proofing” in the way someone would do for children. That means ensuring nothing of importance or anything that can be harmful to your pet is easily accessible. I also have a camera inside so I can check in if I have to step out.

“My wife and I cannot say enough good things about our experience boarding our dog, Elton, with Remy. We had a weeklong trip out of state that we waited way too long to find accommodations for Elton for. Our previous sitter, who we had used for several trips, moved out of state so we were back to square one. I contacted several promising sitters on Rover, but unfortunately they were all either booked or unavailable for the timeframe we needed. I came across Remy's profile and contacted her, and she was very accommodating in setting up a last minute (several days before trip) meet and greet with our dog and hers to make sure they got along. Our boy is sweet and loving, but he has had some reactivity issues with other dogs sometimes and we were of course concerned he would not get along with Remy's pups. Well, he didn't, at least immediately. To be clear, the issue was NOT AT ALL due to Remy's pups, it was our Elton who was being less than polite (not necessarily aggressive, but definitely stand-offish). We were a bit dismayed thinking that it would not work out...but Remy was not phased. She told us to go ahead and book, which, without any other options, we did. We dropped Elton off at Remy's place a few days later, fully expecting that we'd soon receive a message from Remy saying she had to get our emergency contact to pick Elton up because he was just not getting along with the other dogs. That was not the case at all. It took a day or two, but Remy (and her pups!) worked with Elton to get him comfortable on his own time and in short order he had joined the pack! We got photos and videos regularly of Elton playing and running and just having an absolute blast. To summarize, here are some things we LOVE about Remy: - She clearly knows what she is doing. This isn't some kind of hobby for her, she is very professional and this is clearly a labor of love for her and a reflection of the deep-seated passion she has for animals. Some people would be put off on boarding a dog that didn't immediately conform to "good dog" behavioral standards; Remy's experience, dedication, and patience allowed our Elton to get comfortable and warm up to her pups on his schedule. - She kept us updated. We received regular texts with pics and videos of Elton playing, lounging, cuddling, etc. It gave us a TON of piece of mind. - She doesn't just "board" your dog, she makes them part of the family. We never got the impression that Elton was just another dog she was sitting, he might as well have been her own dog with the way she treated him. It was clear from the pictures and videos and seeing how he behaved with her that he felt loved and safe in their home. I could go on and on, but hopefully you get the point. Remy truly is THE BEST. She is at the very TOP of the list for Elton whenever we go out of town (and we'll definitely have to arrange some playdates so he can see his new friends!); my only reservation in leaving this glowing review is that it may increase the odds she is booked up when we need her! :) TL;DR: Don't hesitate to book with Remy. You and your pooch will be thankful you did.”

About: We have been surrounded by dogs our entire lives, and caring for them has always been a big part of our family. We understand that every dog has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and we’re committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home. Our own dog, Tucker, is a sweet 13-year-old Shih Tzu–Poodle mix, which has given us extensive experience caring for senior dogs and pups who need a little extra attention. We are comfortable with special care needs such as administering medication, providing gentle play, and adjusting walks to fit each dog’s energy level and abilities. We live in a comfortable one-story home with a secure fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of space to relax, play, and enjoy their stay. Our goal is to make every dog feel like part of the family while you’re away. We both work full time, but we make plenty of time to take care of our dog morning and night. Whether that be walks, playtime or just some love, we are always here for your pet. We have a one story home with a fenced in backyard. We let our dog roam free during the day, but can adjust the house to your dogs needs. We are happy to use a crate when needed if provided.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid. I have always been a dog lover and my first job was working with pets. Now I bring that lifelong love and training experience to every petsit. I am fortunate to have a flexible schedule and work from home so I have full-time to watch after the pups and keep them stimulated. I have a large fenced in yard with lots of grass to run and play and a mini golden doodle of my own to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed it also offer training lessons.

About: I have grown up with dogs, my whole life. I am comfortable taking care of any size dog. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets inside of other peoples homes as well as my own. I am comfortable giving dogs medicine and I make sure they get adequate play time outside every day. I have a staggered work schedule. The dog would only be alone in a crate for the following times: Monday-Thursday crated 9:30am-5:30pm. I can come home during my lunch break for potty break if needed. Friday-Sunday I am home all day and will take them for walks and hangout. I have a friendly dog to keep your baby company and play with throughout the day. I have separate rooms should they need to be separated for whatever reason. Secure fenced in half acre backyard for playtime outside. Pets are welcome on furniture and can free range throughout the day if preferred.

Ximena was amazing! We met up before the booking to make sure that both of us and the dog felt like it would be a good match and we felt great about her from the start! She is an excellent communicator, and she took really great care of our girl! She has a couple dogs of her own, and they made excellent companions for my senior baby. Our flight coming home was delayed by 3 hrs and she was super understanding and flexible. Then when I got home my car battery was dead. She offered to drop my dog off to reduce our stress. So nice!!!

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 .

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 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.
