I have never had someone watch him before and was a little worried about how he would do, but Ericka and Robert were so kind throughout the whole process and sent me updates along the way ! They were kind enough to work with me when troubles arose and I had to extend his stay! 100% would book with them again!!”
About: I am very time oriented with their food, well being and care, teach them new tricks and always take them on walks around the neighborhood. I always go on morning and evening walks as a pet owner. I have breaks around 12pm and 4pm if needed, which I use to play with the pet. I have separate rooms spaces, ways to make them feel comfortable. Separate eating spaces of needed. I always make sure the pet is always comfortable.
“This was my first experience with Geneva and it was a great one. She sent pictures to me and it was obvious my two pups were happy. She did a great job and they came home healthy and happy.”
“Our plans were ruined but Kathy was extremely flexible. She has a beautiful home setup for dogs. My dogs absolutely loved her backyard. I feel extremely comfortable leaving my doggies with Kathy for any period of time.”
“Victoria was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time we’d ever been away from our sweet girl, and she made us feel completely at ease. We loved the daily pictures and updates—it truly felt like Estes was away at camp having the best time! If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your fur baby as if they were her own, I can’t recommend Victoria enough. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Brenda was great with my fur baby Pepper. She sent me pictures, videos, and constant text messages. It was my first time using Rover services and leaving Pepper with someone other than a family member, I felt so much better knowing my baby was being loved and taken care of by Brenda and her daughter. ❤️”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She was AMAZING with all three of my dogs!! 🐾❤️ I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She communicated with me the entire time, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease while they were with her. My dogs had an absolute BLAST and were so happy and well cared for! I will 100% be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!! ❤️🐶”
“Daniella was incredibly kind and accommodating, especially on short notice. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated with check-ins and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Amazing, amazing, amazing! I was so nervous leaving my baby, but I truly felt so comfortable with Makae! They sent me updates on my baby several times during the day and also made sure to follow the routine I have in place for Duke. 100/10, and will def be booking with them in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for other people’s pets for years. All through college, I watched dogs and cats for friends and family, and when I worked at a vet clinic, I gained even more experience. I’m comfortable administering all kinds of medication, including pills, liquids, and injections. I especially enjoy caring for older pets and those who may be a bit anxious. They often do best with patience and a consistent routine, and that’s exactly what I provide. During every stay, you’ll receive regular photo updates, along with notes on how your pet is eating, playing, sleeping, and handling any medication. I like to keep each pet on a daily schedule that closely matches their normal routine at home to help them settle in more comfortably. I work from home, so I’m here with the pets throughout the day. Guest pets aren’t left alone for long stretches, and I can stick to their regular times for meals, walks, potty breaks, and medication. My own pets already keep me on a set daily routine, and guest pets slip right into it. Each day has a steady rhythm of morning and evening meals, yard time, walks, play, and rest. In my home: My back yard is fully fenced, and I check the gates and fence line regularly. Guest pets share space with my two dogs and one cat, so every guest must be friendly with both dogs and cats. Before any first stay, I do a meet and greet so everyone can get to know each other. New guests are introduced to my pets slowly and are supervised until I know they all get along. At night, pets are kenneled for safety. Food, medications, and cleaning supplies are stored where pets can’t reach them. In your home (drop-ins): I follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and litter, and I double-check that doors, gates, and locks are secure before I leave. After each visit, I send a photo and a short note on how your pet is doing. Health and emergencies: From my time at a vet clinic, I’m comfortable giving all kinds of medication, including injections, and I know the early signs that a pet isn’t feeling well. Before each stay, I collect your vet’s contact information and any health notes. If anything seems off, I’ll contact you right away, and I’ll take your pet to the vet if needed.
“Keeping our fur baby with Ailen was a rewarding experience for us. She kept us updated with her status throughout the stay. We booked her twice. The best part was that our pup was happy once we picked her up. We will defintely book her again.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and couldn’t have picked a better person to watch our almost 2 year old pup. I am crazy about my dog and was hesitant to even do Rover but I am so happy we did. Monica offered to meet us before we committed which I really appreciated. She was great at staying in touch, giving updates, and sending pictures. We could tell our dog was very well cared for while we were out of town. She even gave our girl a goodie bag with treats when we picked her up. Highly recommend and trust Monica! Coco can’t wait for us to leave town again :)”
“Victoria took great care of Sasha! She sent regular photos and updates, made sure she got her meds, gave her treats, and took her on walks. I could tell Sasha was in good hands. Thanks Victoria!”
“Jacob did a great job taking care of Pluto! He was reliable, friendly, and kept me updated the whole time. Pluto was happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would definitely recommend Jacob and will be booking him again in the future! 🐾”
“Alex was amazing! He took excellent care of our pup. Upon meeting him, all nerves about leaving our pup with him melted away. He is great with energetic pups and sends multiple pictures a day. He will be the first person I check with next time I go out of town. I cannot recommend him enough.”
“Valerie and her family were great and so sweet! She kept me updated with pictures and let me know how he was doing during his first day with them, it was able to get him in with last-minute notice.. They seem to really love animals and he had a great time!”

96% of sitters in Lakeside 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 Lakeside home-away-from-home, 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 Lakeside.
<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 Lakeside 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.

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.

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.
