“I always feel at ease whenever I leave my dog to Tracy and Todd! They are awesome people and they naturally care so much for our pups. My dog always come home happy every single time. Highly recommended!!”


“I am very pleased with having Tamara as Moon's dog sitter (5 nights). Moon (30 lb, mixed terrier) obviously had a great time. She came back home a happy dog. Tamara sent daily text updates, with pics, which was so great to receive. I will definitely call on Tamara again.”
About: Hi! I'm Olga, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of dogs, from Miniature Poodles and Labs to four Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I have two dogs of my own, Atlas and Gaia, who are fully trained and well behaved. I've also trained them myself, along with helping train a few other family dogs over the years. I currently provide in home boarding and daycare for dogs and treat every pup like one of my own. I pay close attention to their behavior and well being, and I'l always keep you updated about anything I notice, whether it's an upset stomach, diarrhea, resource guarding, unusual behavior, or anything else that may be important. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they're with me. 🐾 ❤️ Dogs are already a big part of my everyday life, and I'm home often, so caring for pups fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having them around and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play, plus a little dog pool for them to cool off and have fun outside. I also enjoy playing fetch, spending time with them, and giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I'Il adjust activities based on each dog's energy level and what they enjoy most.
“I highly recommend Makayla Pet Sitters! My three dogs received the care and attention they needed, and she kept me posted on my babies. Mayla is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. You will not be disappointed!”

“She was amazing! She took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. She was so sweet, caring, and easy to communicate with. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again!”


“Brooke did a great job taking care of sprout. She was very kind, caring, thoughtful, and communicative through the entire process. She and her husband made a a great effort to make me and sprout feel safe and comfortable. They sent pictures to keep me updated which really helped me feel at ease. They are honestly some of the nicest people I have ever met and they really care about animals. Sprout had a blast with their dog and it made me happy to know he had a fun vacation and made a new friend while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again if I need a dog sitter.”
About: So, I usually volunteer at animal shelters so my experience taking care of dogs comes mostly from that, and I want to be a veterinarian so I’ve also had some experience with shadowing, and can usually see when things are wrong. I will say I’ve never done dog sitting but I’ve had a dog before and currently a cat, so I do know how to take care of animals. Hello, I’m currently home for summer, and I have pretty much every day free besides volunteering at a shelter in the morning from 9-11. Most of the time I have the dog, I’ll most likely spend walking them. I do love doing dog walks, but I’ll also always make sure they’re well fed, and well cared for, and always have water.
About: Growing up we have always had pets. We have always had dogs, but we have also had cats, and even goats. This has given me experience caring for pets of many kind. I have cared my own dog since he was a puppy, giving me the experience necessary to care for your puppies. I work 48-72 hours at a time. On my off days I will be around all day to take give your dog a full day of attention I provide the attentive care necessary to keep your pet safe. I have plenty of experience walking pets on leash, and taking care of pets.
About: I am a trusted rover sitter and I have been caring for dogs all my life. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, giving oral and injectable medication and caring for high-needs pets, and I always treat every pet as if they’re my own! Myself and my home are always committed to keeping your dog happy and healthy. My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate most booking requests. I am able to give pets my full time and attention especially when staying with me at home. Pets that stay with me will receive ample amounts of love and attention as well as mental and physical stimulation to help ease the transition.

About: I’ve had pets for 6 years now. I got my first Ragdoll cat in 2020, then raised a black Labrador from a puppy in 2021. We spent a lot of time together and went on a lot of trips, so he’s pretty used to new places and changes. My friends used to call my pets “travel pets.” In 2024, I also got a Siamese cat. I’m very used to having pets around all the time and spending long hours with them. I really enjoy being with animals. Being around pets makes me happy and gives me a lot of energy, and I’m more than happy to spend time just hanging out with them, playing, walking, or keeping them company. I’m a PhD student at Texas A&M, and I mostly work from home since my work is computer-based. I don’t need to go into an office except for occasional meetings, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually like to take pets out first thing after I wake up, and during the day I have plenty of breaks where I’m happy to spend time playing with them or just hanging out. I’m around most of the day, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I often watch my friends’ pets, especially when they go home for holidays or travel, so I’m used to caring for pets that are new to me. I’m pretty good at getting pets to feel comfortable quickly, and I always take things slow and let them set the pace. I keep my place clean and calm, and I’m careful about safety and routines. I want pets to feel safe and relaxed, not stressed.

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 Iola home-away-from-home, 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 Iola.
<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 Iola 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 , 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 .
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.
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.
