“Rochelle has been keeping Tex for nearly 2 years. Wow how time flies... Rochelle's home has become my Great Danes second home and he loves the doggy paradise and royal treatment! Always amazing, great communication, the greatest dog friend ever!!”
“Alexia and her family took amazing care of my pups! Communication was great, and she shared pictures that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“They took amazing care of Chloe! She was happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved during her stay. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Mrs. Trudie is so understanding and flexible. I went out of town and having a 16 hour drive and time constraints upon arrival. She worked very closely with me to make sure my giant puppy was taken care of. She is truly appreciated.”
“This was our first time boarding our boxer and Amanda immediately made me feel at ease leaving our girl with her! She sent pictures throughout the day and gave her extra cuddles for us. I will be boarding with Amanda later this month and I feel so relieved knowing our dog is in great hands!”
“Anthony and family were a great choice for us! We were blessed to have them for our first time using Rover.com. They sent us frequent pics and updates which helped make our trip more relaxed. Thank you Anthony and family for all you did!”
“Darlynh is the best and I'll recommend her over and over. She sent me pictures to see how my buddy was doing. Cooper was shy initially and, I felt bad leaving him. But before I made it home, I received a picture of him all settled in and comfortable. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.”
“Amanda is wonderful. This is our second booking with her. She makes our dog feel right at home. She is very accommodating and she frequently updates you on how the dogs are doing. She is the best. Definitely recommend.”
“Lisa was the most amazing sitter with our little mini weenie! It was his first time to be left alone ever and she made his whole stay so comfortable and made our vacation enjoyable without worrying! She is reliable and communicative! We definitely found our sitter🤍 you will not be disappointed!”
“This was our second time booking with Lucyna and we’re just as happy as the first time! She took great care of Elmo — he came home and fell asleep right away, which tells us he had a fun and active day.”
“Tasha is absolutely wonderful! We had some flight issues and she was able to come pick Louie up, which saved the day. She took such good care of him and he had so much fun playing with the other pups. She kept us updated daily with cute photos, which was great, as we love to see our boy while we’re out. HIGHLY recommend Tasha, she is a true animal lover!”
“Kaci and her husband watched my 3 year old boston terrier for a week. They have two dogs of their own and my boston got along great with them. She sent pics and gave updates the entire week. Did the dogs have fun together? Well...lets just say mine was exhausted the night that I picked him up...”
“Karla was amazing with my dog Brody! I was hesitant to leave him with someone I didn't know while I was out of town but she kept me updated the whole time with pictures and videos. Followed all instructions, kept him active, and gave his medications. I could even see from the videos how relaxed he was with her and her family. She treated him like one of her own. Will definitely be returning in the future.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific 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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Itasca 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 Itasca 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 Itasca.
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 Itasca. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 Itasca 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.
