I am retired and would love to have a pet with me for companionship. Pets brighten the days. I have no pets of my own at the present time and have enough love to give your baby 24/7. After being out of service for a couple of months with broken bones, I am back in action and would love to care for your baby. have a large (1/4 acre)) backyard that is fully fenced and waiting for your baby. In addition, I would like to take walks with your baby. I can't guarantee they won't come home from their stay with me a little bit spoiled!
“My girls really enjoyed their stay with Jane. She made sure to keep us updated with plenty of photos and messages as this was their first time away from home. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve had a variety of pets from dogs to chameleons to hedgehogs. I would love to care for your pets on my free time and treat them as my own! I am a full-time stay at home mom so I am completely free to attend to your fur baby at all hours of the day. I will be sure to treat every pet as my own and care for them with the same standards you, the owner, cares for them.
“Ashlyn and her family made Astro feel at home. I really appreciated that she was able to care for him on short notice. This was his first stay with her and I knew he was in good hands after meeting her and her family. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Teri has been great for my dog. I moved to the Houston area for work and my dog needed someplace to go during the day that wasn't a hotel. After one visit, he was hooked. He gets just as excited to go to her place as he is to go to the park. Beyond taking great care of him, Teri has helped me find resources for him like vets and groomers. She genuinely loves all the dogs she watches and provides excellent care.”
“Kelly is amazing. I use Kelly weekly for doggy daycare and then any other weekend that I'm going to be leaving town. She is extremely convenient to work with. I text her at the beginning of the week asking her what days would work best for my over hyper dog and she gets back to me almost instantly with different options on what days would work best. When it comes to picking up or dropping off my dog she's extremely convenient as well. Let's me know if she's going to be doing something at a certain time and to come earlier or later, or tells me that she has no plans and I can just pick him up whenever. Working with Kelly is a dream come true for any pet owner.”
About: I have been around and taken care of family dogs since I was younger. I have always been an animal lover! My whole family has at least one dog and I have an 11 year old yorkie myself! I am good with all types of dogs from big dogs to little dogs! I am currently unemployed so I have a lot of free time to take care and play with your fur babies at any time on any day. I do live in an apartment that is gated around and has a very nice and big dog park. I also have a yorkie who is 11 years old and just loves to sleep and cuddle.

I definitely have the time and space to care for them. I am available each day of the week for pet care. I stay home and I'm able to babysit, walk and check on dogs in my area.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. As a proud dog mom to three mini schnauzers, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—they’re family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies who need structure and play, and senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel loved, safe, and cared for at all times. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, and quality time with pets, so I can give them consistent attention and care. I truly enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I stick to each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and rest, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Josie usually doesn’t like me leaving her, but she got right in with the other babies there and loved it. Natalie sent a video and pictures throughout the day. This was our first experience with Rover, but as much as we travel we will definitely be using it again!”
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of various temperaments, including large and high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable with nail trimming, light grooming, basic puppy training, and administering medications as directed. My goal is to provide structured, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m home almost all day and able to give your pup lots of attention and care. I’m available for boarding any day of the week. I occasionally run short errands during the week, but pets are never left unattended for long periods and safety is always my priority. I have a fully fenced yard and I DO NOT have any dogs of my own. The dogs I care for are welcome to roam freely indoors and enjoy supervised time outside, so they are not cooped up inside all day. The only pet in my home is a lovebird who remains securely housed and separated from guest pets.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I’ve worked with an abundance of clients over the course of my career. I’m very perceptive to pet parents and their families needs.

I work part time as a pet care professional while seeking higher education. My schedule flexible for providing service when required for all my clients. I have two friendly dogs at home and several cats that all get along. I have a fenced in yard with a shaded porch/breezeway and a couple unused crates set up inside. There’s a couple dedicated couches for animals and routine feeding in the morning and afternoon. We go on a minimum of one walk per day and sometimes two if available.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your La Porte commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
