“Trinity was amazing! I can tell she really cared about our puppy. She worked with us very well when we had to do a last minute booking. She had great communication with us and remembered to give our puppy her medicine even though I forgot! Trinity also worked on teaching our puppy basic commands and potty training. We know our puppy, miss pickles, will definitely miss Trinity! We will be booking again in the future when needed 🫶”
About: My first job was walking dogs back in middle school! I also stayed a couple nights at a family friend’s house in order to pet sit while they’re on vacation. I also have a pit of my own named eli, and a bunny named coco :)) I just recently started college, and it’s been a little hard finding a job, so my availability is pretty open, I only have a couple classes throughout the days :)) My dog roams around the house. He’s very friendly and loves to make doggy friends. Since he is a little bigger, small dogs might be intimidated, but he’s very gentle, and if needed, there’s a room we lock our dog in when there’s company :)
“Chanisy was awesome with our 2 dogs - a schnoodle and shitzu. She sent pics every day of our boys playing in her backyard- they both looked very happy and content to be there. We will definitely leave our dogs with her again. 5 Star Rating!”
“Brooke was responsive and attentive throughout my pup’s weekend stay, providing constant reassurance and peace of mind. Her family environment was perfect for my dog and will be for yours, as well! Absolutely recommend.”
“Deborah and her family were great with Bentley!! He looked so happy in all of his pictures and they were so accommodating. I think our pup even became a little protective of her and her family by the end of the visit and he only does that to people he truly cares about. I couldn’t recommend more!”
“Trusting our dog to Barbara has made our travel time with our family so much more enjoyable. We did not question how Mocha might be doing at any point during her 5 day stay. Wonderful”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Luna received! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with constant feedback throughout Luna's stay, sent plenty of photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Luna was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The communication was excellent, and I truly appreciated knowing how she was doing every step of the way. I would absolutely trust her to watch Luna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and loving to care for their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my sweet girl! ❤️🐾”
“She did an awesome job watching my dog! She kept me updated the whole time, which gave me peace of mind, and she made my dog feel right at home. My dog absolutely loved her dog, and it was clear they had a great time together. I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch my dog again!”
About: I have been responsible for caring for animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been something I truly enjoy. I volunteered at an animal shelter when I was just 12 years old, and growing up, my family always had dogs, horses, and livestock. I learned early on that animals depend on us for their care, safety, exercise, and companionship. As an adult, we have had several family pets, all of whom remained part of our family for their entire lives. One of our dogs was a diabetic Chesapeake Retriever who required daily insulin, which taught me the importance of being consistent, attentive, and comfortable with special care needs. I currently live at a lake house situated on three lots, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play. I have two rescue dogs of my own—a Lab mix who has been with us for ten years and a one-year-old Mountain Cur mix. My home has two floors with separate entrances, which allows me to safely and easily separate dogs if they need their own space or don’t get along. I enjoy taking my dogs on leash walks down to the lake and around the neighborhood, and I am always careful to clean up after them. I have also cared for my grand-dog in Queens, so I am very familiar with the responsibilities that come with caring for someone else’s beloved pet, including keeping their space clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I don’t see caring for dogs as simply a responsibility—I genuinely love spending time with them. I enjoy playing with dogs, giving them attention and affection, taking them for walks, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while they are in my care. I understand that leaving a pet with someone is a big decision, and I would treat every dog entrusted to me as I would my own. I am retired so my availability is wide open. I have plenty of room both inside and outside for your pet. I live with an adult son so my dogs are cared for if i commit to sitting at your home. I have three lots so plenty of room for dogs to play. It is not fenced so I will always be with your dog whenever outside. I live in a rural neighborhood so I can walk dogs on a leash throughout the neighborhood including down to the lake.
“I would not hesitate to leave my baby with Maria again! She treated Penny with love and attention the entire time. On top of that, she kept constant updates including pictures, videos and messages. Drop off and pick up couldn’t have been easier!”
“Wendi did a great job with my dog. This was my first time using a service and everything went very smoothly. Wendi sent pictures every day and a couple videos as well as text updates. It was obvious my dog was having a great time. I was even concerned he wouldn't want to come home. To top it all off she, after checking with me to see if it was OK, gave my dog a bath before I picked him up. I would absolutely recommend Wendi.”
“Rachel was great with responses & pics. My dog was so happy and had a great time with Holly & the fam. Will definitely use her again! Holly is a sweet Rottie & they played so well together. Thanks Rachel, fam & Holly for taking care of my girl!!”

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

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.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Huntsville 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 Huntsville.
<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 Huntsville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.

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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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.
