“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!!”
“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!”
“Blair was amazing! I always worry when I have to leave Lola because as sweet as she is she keeps me on my toes but Blair was very understanding and even worked with Lola to control her jumping. I know my baby was in great hands and we will definitely be back.”
“Joshua and his wife were great with our Great Dane Ollie! They sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing while we were away. We appreciated how quickly they responded and kept us very informed.”
“Rebecca is wonderful with my Lucy! She spoils her and treats her like a little princess! She always sends pictures and videos showing how she looks. I am very pleased with how Lucy acts when I pick her up. She definitely loves the little dogs! ❤️❤️”
“I asked Jonathan to care for my new 6 year old dog while on vacation. Jonathan agreed and the experience was absolutely the best. You see, my new dog, Andy had previously lived with a neighbor behind me and bc Andy is a fence jumper my neighbor had locked the dog in a cage his entire life. So he was not socialized or house broken until just the last 3 months since I took him to live with me, however I had given Jonathan as much info as I knew about him. Jonathan was so attentive with Andy he even made a special leash where Andy could run in his very large backyard but yet could not jump the fence. My biggest fear was he would run away but Jonathan sent me videos every day so I could see he was safe and happy. This was so comforting for me. When I picked up Andy he seemed a but confused which broke my heart bc I truly believe my new dog wanted to stay with Jonathan. I really think Andy had a great week staying with Jonathan and I will certainly call him again when I need a safe place for Andy to land for a few days or weeks. Jonathan is the best. Oh and Andy had his own spot on Jonathan's couch just like home.”
About: From farm and ranch to pet boarding facilities, I've pretty much done it all. I have lots of experience with just about every pet there is, including seniors and bottle babies. I treat each one like my own and love them like family. From the energetic and active, to the timid and shy, I make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable while you're away. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your beloved family member and my goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy and genuinely cared for. I have my own small farm so animal care is a daily activity for me. The more to care for the merrier! I am off every Friday and through the weekend, so weekends are spent loving on the fur babies. I work with your preferences on crating and care. I have a large fenced yard and a smaller fenced area for puppies, seniors or small dogs.

Every update, buddy seem very happy.. if I can give her 20 stars I would so if anyone is looking for a good sitter, I highly recommend her.buddy will be back next week. Thank you so much. She gave me a piece of mine. I did not have to worry about him not eating or being mistreated.”
“I can’t thank you enough for watching Arthur and Parker, they were fast asleep on the way home which tells me that they had an amazing time with you both and Lucy! We are so grateful to have found Richard and Stephanie because they understand the energy of boxers and were more than happy to help them use up that energy. We appreciated the communication and especially the pictures, thank you so much! I highly recommend Richard and Stephanie.”
“Jessica was quick and clear with all communication. She sent pictures and kept us informed while we were away from our pup. We would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Great sitter who took wonderful care of my dog for 9 days and went above and beyond, especially when she wasn’t eating. Very professional, caring, and helpful throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. She also had plenty of other dogs around for my dog to play and socialize with, making it a fun and active stay!”
“Samantha and Ryan were great at communication and we felt very comfortable leaving Riley with them. They gave us updates and pictures to let us know how she was doing and we will definitely be booking Riley another stay with them in the future. Thanks!”

“As always Natalia and her family were amazing with our dogs. One dog developed an infection from a surgery he’d had a couple of weeks before and they helped me with taking him to the emergency vet and helping with his medication. My dogs come home so happy and relaxed after playing with their dogs and being spoiled with hugs. I can’t recommend Natalia enough. Thank you!”

“On a last minute trip I was lucky enough to find Isha. She is amazing with Ozzy and Luna! I didn’t get enough time to brief her on my Luna’s little quirks. Isha had to find out on her own and was so great at handling them. She provided daily love and exercise! I appreciate the daily photos and updates. I will love to continue to have Isha for future dog sitting.”
“Kathya has become oficially our dog sitter for many reasons but most importantly becauaw she has gained my trust and my furry's trust. She exceeded my expectations of how a dog sitter should be. From the first moment we met she made sure to know Echo, hee behavior and her needs. While I was away Kathya kept me updated and sent me pictures and videos. I could tell Echo had a blast stay with her and most definetly I recomend Kathya' services.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Joshua
Alyssa was amazing! She was communicative, kind, and overall a pleasure to deal with! This was my first time using the Rover app. I was looking for someone that I could trust with my dog Jeff. From the get-go, I was confident I found the right person. She sent me daily pics an update updates. She even filmed the reunion when I picked him up after almost a month! 10 out of 10 would recommend Alyssa!
If I could give a 10 out of 5, I would! They were the best hosts ever! Our dogs were so happy with them. One of our dogs has social anxiety and she went right up to both of them like she had known them forever. You can totally tell these are dog people through and through. There are not enough words of praise for the two wonderful people!!

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 Joshua 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 Joshua 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 Joshua.
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 Joshua. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Joshua 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.
