“We had an amazing experience with Kristina! 😊 She provided great communication, wonderful photos and videos, and her family with their friendly dogs made our pups feel right at home. Our dogs, Coco and Leo, had a blast making new friends! 👍 What truly made our experience special was when Kristina celebrated Coco’s birthday while we were away - it was our first time leaving him on his special day, and she made it truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Kristina 100%! I wish I can give her 100 stars if we could ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟... She's top- notch care with love, and we'll always use her services again. ❤️ Thank you, Kristina, and your beautiful family for everything! 🙏🥰"”

She also communicated with me regularly, providing photos and updates throughout the stay. I felt completely confident that my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book Lynn and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“A wonderful setting and environment for your dog lots of nature. Trixie looked healthy and happy. I got good feedback on the behavior of my pup. Very warm and welcoming home for pets.”
“Billy is awesome. Having never hired a pet sitter before, he made us feel comfortable and confident that our puppy was in good hands. He’s very knowledgeable about animals and takes good care of them. We needed to extend by a couple of days, and he was okay with it, which was great for us. I would, and will, leave my pets with him again when needed.”
“Anna did a great job caring for our Bruno. She was communicative and reliable, and sent regular updates so we knew he was in good hands. We had a flight delay and Anna accommodated our late pickup time, which we really appreciated. Thank you again, Anna! Would definitely book again.”

“Our dog, Baxter, enjoyed his day of play at Susan’s house. The setup was great, wonderful large backyard. Baxter is one of those guys that just doesn’t like going to a kennel (shakes like a leaf). We felt completely comfortable leaving him and have already booked additional stays. Thanks, Susan for taking great care of him.”
“Manny provided outstanding care for Molly, our cherished Cavalier. The only area for improvement would be the frequency of updates; receiving just one picture during her daily morning walks left us wishing for a few more snapshots of her adventures.”
“Romo had a great time with Holly and Tracy. Tracy was great with giving daily updates when asked, giving us peace of mind while we were away that Romo was also having a good time :)”
“Nia has been amazing! She’s very communicative and responsive. We scheduled a meet and greet before our trip, and since she has a dog as well, we were able to make sure the dogs got along and they did great together. She also has a large dog park right outside her home, which is perfect for an active dog. We’ll definitely consider booking with her again for our next trip.”
“Maegan and her daughter were fabulous! I was worried my dog might be a lot to handle. Maegan assured me she was familiar with the breed I have. Updates and pictures were sent. I could see my dog was attaching herself to Maegan’s daughter. And I knew she was getting a lot of attention. It was great!”
“Here’s a concise 2–3 sentence version: We had an amazing experience with Harshita our pet sitter! She took exceptional care of our dog, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter.”

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 Joppa 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 Joppa.
<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 Joppa 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.
