“Cheri is absolutely wonderful. Plenty of communication and photos, flexible drop off and pick up times and extremely friendly! I am completely confident and comfortable leaving our dogs with her because she truly cares for each dog and their unique needs and personality. She has tons of patience with our babies and I absolutely appreciate that. Will definitely book again!! Thanks Cheri!”
“Amanda took great care of our Shadow while we went on a long vacation. She sent video each day of him having fun with his new friends. I’m glad I found someone I can trust with my dog..”
“I had the pleasure of having Amber to look after my beloved dog, Sky, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we first met, Amber exuded a sense of professionalism, blended with a genuinely caring and warm approach. The time Sky spent with Amber was nothing short of wonderful. Amber ensured that Sky was not just well taken care of, but was also given an experience filled with fun, love, and enjoyment. Sky came back to us content, cheerful and in absolutely perfect health - evidence of the top-notch care Amber provided. One of the things that stood out to me most about Amber's service was the peace of mind she granted us during our trip. Her regular updates and consistent communication ensured that we were kept in the loop about Sky's well-being. This made our trip worry-free and allowed us to enjoy it completely, knowing that our precious pet was in extremely capable hands. Amber displayed an innate understanding of canine needs and behavior, and it's evident that she possesses a deep love for what she does. She managed to win over Sky’s trust and affection, which, as any pet owner would know, speaks volumes about her skills and character. We would unreservedly use Amber's dog sitting services again and urge others who are in search of high-quality pet care to do the same. She is an excellent dog sitter who knows how to make both the pet and the owner happy. Thank you, Amber, for your outstanding service and the loving care you provided for Sky. We look forward to our next booking!”
About: I have raised dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I also care for ducks, chickens, horse, and others. I own dogs, cats, ducks, and chickens. I have taken care of my aunts animals when she goes on vacation as well. I am an animal lover. I also have 2 kids who will be with me at all times, they are 5 and 8 and also love animals and love to care for them. I am 27 years old going to college to be a teacher and needing extra income to support my family. We live on grass mesa in rifle but have a vehichle to get me anywhere I need to go. Thank you in advance for considering me for caring for your family member. i am available anytime Monday through Sunday. We have activities for an hour on Tuesday from 6-730 and Wednesday from 415-515 plus like an hour of drive time for getting there and back I have a dog run and all animals get free range of my house. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I keep animals separated for a little while to let them get comfortable with each other through a gate. When staying in your home my kids will be with me but they are very well behaved and will have iPads or other educational things to entertain them.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve house sat and cared for dogs in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very active with my own dog and go to the dog park daily, so I’m confident handling playful, energetic dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I prioritize safety, consistency, and giving every pet the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to give your pets lots of time and attention. I do have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2pm, but I’m available before and after, as well as all day on other days. I’m usually home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, including trips to the dog park for exercise and socialization. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex with a large dog park available for safe play and exercise. I take pets out for regular potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours and make sure they stay on a consistent routine. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize their safety, whether that means supervising playtime, following feeding schedules, or crating if requested by the owner.
About: I feel living on a farm, I can offer a dog plenty of exercise and play. I have owned dogs most of my life. I don't have any dogs as of now, so I feel this would be a great time to become a sitter/walker. I try and walk at least 3 miles a day myself, so I would also be able to walk the dog on a leash if that is needed. I am a reliable and compassionate person and love all animals, I own horses as well. I will play with the dogs outside as long as weather permits. I will have fresh water for them and a clean place to lay down. Please consider me when looking for a reliable dog sitter. I am retired, I have a ranch with my own animals, and I think pet sitting would be amazing to get me out of my house. I take care of client's animals in their homes. I will walk, feed, give supplements. I can also stay in the home if needed. It is up to the client's needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Irene can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. 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. 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 Irene 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 Irene.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Irene. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Irene 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
