About: Ever since I was a child, I have grown up around dogs. Our childhood house was always the house where dogs were always welcome. Fast forward to my own house, own pups, and it’s the same hospitality. Our house is the ultimate doggy day care and hotel with a yard, doggy door (for those smarter pups), and local park to walk and play at. Safety is a top priority for my pup, and those I watch. I treat every dog like my own and know our precious babies are irreplaceable. PS, I’m the guy who plays dog tv for Ari, my golden retriever. Currently work from home with my wife. Plenty of free time to walk, fetch and snuggle. I live near the airport so we are an easy drop off for travelers. Our home is in a quiet neighborhood. We have a fenced yard with a tall fence. We have dog sat dogs of all sizes and tempers and have a good sense of social skills and situations. We have hosted up to 5 dogs in our house at once and know to separate social time from rest time.
“Tainara is wonderful with my dog. She is very flexible with pickup and drop-off times. Tainara always attaches pictures from each day. She loves the dogs like her own. Great communication. Would highly recommend Tainara.”
“Hunter was a game saver when we planned an unscheduled Ranger’s game on our road trip. Fast response and we were able to enjoy the game knowing that my dog was being taken care of. Thank you again 🙏.”
“Michael has been awesome with my dog. He is easy to communicate with to arrange drop off and pick up times. I get lots of picture and videos of my pup throughout the day.. it’s obvious she has a lot of fun playing with his dogs and she feels comfortable in his home.”
About: I've been around dogs and caring for them for more than 25 years, including my own dogs as well as the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors. I've always been the person people call when they need someone they can trust with their pets, and honestly, caring for animals has always felt like a bit of a secret calling in my life. I love getting to know each dog's personality, figuring out what makes them comfortable, and making sure they feel at home while their people are away. From puppies to older dogs, energetic playmates to dogs who are happiest curled up beside you, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities over the years. Rover gives me a chance to finally share something I've genuinely loved doing for most of my life with more families who need someone they can trust. I work from home, so I'm around for my canine guests throughout the day and don't have to leave them home alone for hours while I'm at work. Caring for the dogs is a genuine part of my daily routine, with plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, play, attention, naps, and just hanging out together. Our fenced backyard makes it easy to get outside throughout the day, while the air-conditioned house gives everyone a comfortable place to play and relax, especially during the Texas heat. I keep my boarding numbers intentionally small, no more than three guest dogs at a time, so I can actually spend time with each one rather than trying to manage a house full of dogs. Whether your pup wants to play with Rosie, follow me around while I work, curl up on the sofa, or take a nap in their own bed, they'll have plenty of company and attention. I take your dog's safety seriously, but I also want them to feel like they're staying in a home, and not being put somewhere and simply watched. I limit boarding to three guest dogs at a time, which gives me the ability to keep an eye on everyone and pay attention to each dog's individual needs. Our backyard is surrounded by an 8-foot wooden fence and has a large tree that keeps most of the yard shaded, giving the dogs a secure place for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. With the Texas heat, I don't believe dogs need to spend hours outside to have a good time. Most of their play and exercise can happen comfortably inside our air-conditioned home, with regular trips outside when the weather allows. Rosie, our 10-year-old Chiweenie/Corgi mix, is part of the household and absolutely loves having new friends around. She's happy to play with younger dogs, larger dogs, or dogs with plenty of energy, which makes her a great companion for our guests. Because the dogs will be sharing our home, I do look for dogs who are comfortable around other dogs; I don't want a guest spending their vacation separated from everyone else or stuck in a crate simply because they can't safely interact with the other dogs. I also like to keep things as familiar as possible for each dog. You're welcome to bring their own bed, crate, blanket, toys, food, or anything else that helps them settle in. Puppies are welcome, including those who are still working on house training, and puppy pads are perfectly fine for smaller dogs who aren't quite ready to rely on the backyard. If your dog has special needs or a particular routine, I'm happy to discuss what they require ahead of time and determine whether I can provide the right care. And while you're away, I don't want you wondering what your dog is up to. I send daily pictures and updates so you can see how they're settling in, playing, relaxing, and getting along with their new friends. At the end of the day, I want you to have the same feeling I'd want if I were leaving Rosie with someone: that she's safe, happy, comfortable, and genuinely being cared for.

“Alan and Reagan are so wonderful! Many pictures and videos were sent throughout the day. They had shade, fans, water, food, a lot of outdoor time, and comfortable places to rest. Alan and Reagan really went the extra mile! I definitely felt more at ease knowing they were well taken care of. I will definitely be sending my babies back to Alan and Reagan!”
“Liz took wonderful care of my slightly anxious dog and made her feel safe throughout the stay. She also sent thoughtful updates with photos, which I really appreciated.”

About: I love all animals and have a passion for caring for them. I have been trusted to care for many types of animals and I always make sure treat each one as if they were my own because I now they are a cherished member of someone's family. I have experience with puppies, potty training, administering medications and caring senior animals. I work from home so I am able to give around the clock attention when caring for animals and accommodate specific pet routines with my schedule. I have a 2-story townhome with small gated backyard that leads to our community walking path. I also have 2 playful dogs that can be separated if needed. I also have a husband and 2 children with the same love of animals as me.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, and my own dog Sammy loves meeting new ones. She's social with just about every type of dog, and her favorite park companions are shepherd breeds and high-energy pups who can keep up with her. Large dogs are no problem for me — I'm comfortable handling two or three 90-pounders at once, and Sammy holds her own right alongside them. To be upfront: I don't have much experience with young puppies or dogs with health issues. What I can promise is that I'm reliable with medication — if your dog is on a schedule, I'll stick to it. I am currently working from home and pretty much only leave to go to the gym or out to dinner. When I go out it's usually to a park and I bring Sammy with me. We have a dog door and large fenced in backyard. The fence is tall and inescapable by any dog bigger than 10lbs (a very small dog might be able to slip through). There are lots of toys outside and Sammy shares them.

“We were driving through, stopping for the day....and Julia taking care of our dogs that day allowed us to have them on our trip. She was fantastic, updating and sending pictures of them relaxing at her home. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times, which was greatly appreciated. Thank you Julia!!”
“Jane is the sweetest and most attentive sitter! I feel so comfortable dropping our puppy off with her! My puppy is always SO excited when we pull up to her house which makes me happy.”

Michael has been awesome with my dog. He is easy to communicate with to arrange drop off and pick up times. I get lots of picture and videos of my pup throughout the day.. it’s obvious she has a lot of fun playing with his dogs and she feels comfortable in his home.
They treat my Forrest like their own! Even in the snow storm they’re outside playing and making sure he’s all tired for mom when she comes home from work. I send him twice a week and he loves it every time! They’ve been so communicative and send lots of pictures and even take Forrest for long walks/runs. Truly the best sitters ever!

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
