“We had the best experience with Rachel! I could tell that our dog was looked after and loved by her. I would definitely use her again and will be recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you Rachel!”
“Tracey and her family were so accommodating. Our stay started off rocky at no fault to Tracey (previous sitter left us in a mess) Tracey went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and more relaxed. Our baby had such a fun time! I got plenty of photos and updates. Will rebook in the future!”
“Maria was great, and our dog seems like he had a good time. Maria was so accommodating and flexible when we needed to pick him up an hour late because our kid overslept. We will definitely be booking with her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Min was so accommodating. She provided a safe and appropriate environment for my 3-month-old havapoo puppy, who hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet.”
“Lindsay and Brad are great! We greatly appreciate them, because they took our Roscoe and Tobie and made them a part of their family for the weekend. They also loved playing with their new best friend Freddie too! & going to the park for walks and play time! It is so hard leaving them behind on trips, but the pictures and updates we received from Linsday and Brad made it so much easier and reassured us that they were in good hands.”
“Maddy was great with Sparky! She took excellent care of him and made us feel comfortable while we were away. She was reliable, responsive, and Sparky seemed very happy with her. We had a great experience and would definitely book with Maddy again. Highly recommend!”

“Sandra was absolutely amazing! Emma had a wonderful stay, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Sandra sent daily pictures and updates, which meant so much to us while we were away. It was clear Emma was happy, well cared for, and loved throughout her stay. We were so impressed that we've already rebooked with Sandra for another stay. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter! 🐾❤️”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Beyond Exceptional – Mychelle Is Truly One of a Kind I cannot even begin to express the level of gratitude, comfort, and peace of mind Michelle gave me while caring for my Labradoodle for six full days. And trust me when I say this review comes from someone who is an EXTREME dog mom. My girl is not “just a dog” to me — she is my baby, my shadow, my emotional support, my family, and honestly my whole heart. I am notoriously protective over her and almost never allow anyone to care for her, especially overnight and especially in someone else’s home. My Labradoodle also has separation anxiety, medical needs, and requires extremely important medications for her liver and bladder that absolutely cannot be missed. Leaving her with someone else was something that caused ME anxiety too. I worried constantly before the trip… until Mychelle completely changed that. From the moment I dropped my girl off, Mychelle treated her with genuine love, patience, kindness, and compassion. She did not make me feel like I was leaving my dog with a “pet sitter.” She made me feel like I was leaving her with family. Throughout my entire trip, Mychelle constantly kept me updated with pictures, videos, messages, and little check-ins that absolutely melted my heart and calmed my nerves. I probably drove her crazy how many texts I sent her-but she was always quick in response time and never made me feel uneasy. Ecko had so much fun with her 2 labs and 1 other pup that Mychelle was looking after in her home. I could SEE my baby was happy, relaxed, loved on, and truly comfortable in her care. That means everything to someone like me who notices every little detail about their dog’s behavior and emotions. VERY IMPORTANT—>Not only did Michelle flawlessly administer all of her medications and take her medical care seriously, but she also gave her affection, attention, comfort, and emotional care. That is something you simply cannot fake. Animals know when someone is truly kind-hearted, and my Labradoodle clearly adored her. When I picked my girl up, she was happy, healthy, calm, and obviously well cared for. Honestly, I do not think I could have asked for a better experience if I tried. Thank you, Mychelle, from the bottom of my heart, for loving and caring for my girl the way you did. You gave this psycho dog mom the greatest gift possible: the ability to finally relax knowing her baby was safe, loved, and in amazing hands. We absolutely adore you. 💕🐾”
“Wonderful sitter to work with. My dog liked her, and she came back super happy. Normally when I have to board her she comes back very stressed out, so this was a great experience.”
“Paige and her husband, Juan, were wonderful! They gave us such peace of mind knowing our girls were well taken care of. We really appreciated their care and would absolutely recommend them.”
“Shannon is amazing! Our meet and greet was great she made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She’s very communicative and flexible. She sent a lot of pictures and videos while I was on vacation and I was never worried. If you’re thinking of booking with Shannon you should!”

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.
95% of sitters in Josephine 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 Josephine 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 Josephine.
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 Josephine. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Josephine 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.
