“Mr Christopher was great! Good communication, kept us posted with quick responses. We asked a lot of questions before booking because was our first time and with patience he replied to us always. Will rebook when needing no doubt!! Nata said goodbye in her way, we know is when liked somebody a lot! Thank you for everything!”
“We left Ryder with Jennifer and Brian for 8 days. They did an absolutely amazing job, Ryder was happy and excited and clearly well cared for when we got him back. I will absolutely use them again in the future. The one thing that I will say would enhance the experience (again, they did awesome) is if they sent pictures/videos of how Ryder was doing daily or every other day. I know it can be hard to keep up with, but as a pet owner, you feel that much better being able to see your pet interacting and playing happily when he is not with you. They sent photos and videos when I asked, which was great, but if they sent them unprompted on some regular cadence I think it would enhance the experience even more. That being said, they did awesome great job and definitely deserve a five star rating!”
“I am very grateful to Tanny for taking such good care of my puppy. She sent me videos and photos every day during his stay, and I found Luke very happy. I would certainly leave him with her again. Thank you Tanny. ❤️🐾”
“I have trusted Jessica & Nathaniel to care for my dog, Sunshine, while I was out of town a couple times now. They have consistently been very communicative/quick to respond, flexible and understanding when I had to do late pickups due to travel delays, and attentive to Sunshine’s medication schedule. Most importantly, I could tell Sunshine enjoyed her stay in their very dog friendly home. She remembered their house and was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we pulled up for her second visit!”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job caring for our pup Leo. She would send us updates/photos through out our trip and I appreciated her love/care for our dog. I’d definitely recommend and would rebook with her in the future!”
“Excellent experience for our four fur friends in their home. We have used Rover for drop in visits at our home, but this was our first time using a sitter in their home. I would definitely use Rattan and Parveen again!”
“Sabrina is excellent with our 6 month old puppy. She sent us pictures or a video every day that showed he was having a great time. Everything was packed up and freshly washed when we picked him up. She even improved his skill of walking on a leash! I will definitely use her again.”
“Iyanna accepted our last minute booking and even allowed us to add on an extra day! Our dog was very comfortable staying with her, we have zero complaints. She had amazing communication and we loved the pictures she sent of our dog. Will definetly be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been a pet lover for as long as I can remember! With over 30 years of experience caring for fur babies, I know they’re not just pets — they’re family. ❤️ Every fur baby has their own little personality, quirks, and favorite things, and I absolutely love getting to know each one! Whether your baby loves belly rubs, long walks, playtime, or just snuggling up on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and right at home. I also know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else. I’ve been there! That’s why I’ll care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: happy fur babies and worry-free pet parents! 🐾💕 Spending time with fur babies is one of my favorite parts of the day! ❤️ I love making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. I understand that every fur baby has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether it’s mealtime, potty breaks, walks, or just some extra snuggles, I’m happy to work with you to make sure your little one feels right at home! I know your fur baby means the world to you, and I promise to treat them like part of my own family. ❤️ Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first. I take the time to understand their personalities, routines, and little habits because I know every fur baby is different. Whether they’re playful and full of energy or a little shy and need extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. And because I know how much you’ll miss them, I’m always happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your little one is doing! 🐾💕
“Samantha was great! I highly recommend her services. She was very accommodating and gave me peace of mind amid the last-minute changes caused by a flight delay. She was great with Teddy!”
“Julie is always amazing with our pup and we only travel if we know she’s available to keep him. We always know he’s going to be well cared for and have a great time when we are away. I recommend Julie to all of my dog mom friends, too!”
“Andrew and Joy were AWESOME! They shared so many pictures of my doggy during her stay. I felt so much better knowing she was being well taken care of. I think my doggy was sad to come home! :-)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Andrea and David pet sitting for our dog in their home. Andrea was excellent with communication and sent tons of pics of our pup. Our dog looked like she was having a blast in every pic sent. We’ll definitely be booking again with Andrea and David. Thanks again for taking care of our baby!”
“Autumn and her family were the best and we are so thankful! They took such great care of our sweet boy and sent updates every day! They were so gracious to let us come over for a meet and greet and let him get comfortable. Highly recommend and we will be back!”

“I had an amazing experience with Yvette! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated every single day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. 🐶💛 I could see how happy and comfortable my dog was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does and treats the pets like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Micki took great care of our two Corgis. We received regular updates and photos, and felt assured the dogs were in good hands. She was able to accommodate our request on pretty short notice, too. The dogs came home happy, healthy, and tired out from some good walks and playtime.”

Paige has watched Aspen twice now and she absolutely loves their family and home. They provided lots of updates and I enjoyed seeing how happy Aspen looked! I’m very picky about who she goes to, especially with her getting older and they definitely checked all the boxes. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Aspen! It makes trips so much more enjoyable having peace of mind not worrying about the safety of your pup!
Bree was absolutely AMAZING with our sweet Olaf! 🐾❤️ From the moment we left him in her care, she went above and beyond to make sure he was safe, happy, loved, and completely spoiled. She gave him so much love, attention, and playtime, and it was obvious from every update that he was having the BEST time! One of the things that meant the most to me was how consistently Bree sent updates and pictures. As a total “mama” to my fur baby, leaving him can definitely bring on some anxiety, but Bree kept my mama anxiety at a minimum by keeping me informed and letting me see just how happy and comfortable Olaf was. 🥹💕 Seeing those pictures of him playing, being loved on, and enjoying himself gave me so much peace of mind. I never once had to worry about whether Olaf was being cared for because Bree treated him like he was her own. She made sure he was safe, healthy, comfortable, entertained, and showered with affection. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him not just as a pet she was sitting, but as a little fur baby who deserved all the love. 🐶❤️ We are SO grateful we found Bree and would absolutely trust her with Olaf again & plan to next April. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, caring, communicative, and will truly love on your pets while you’re away, Bree is your girl! We couldn’t have asked for better care for our sweet boy🐾✨ Thank you, Bree, for taking such incredible care of our Olaf and for giving this mama such peace of mind! We appreciate you more than you know! ❤️
Kim & Scott are always our first choice for boarding if they’re available. Our dog came home happy, playful, tired, and totally herself. We love getting the daily photo updates, especially the sweet cuddle photos! It's clear she is loved and is treated like one of their own when she stays with them. We also really appreciated them picking up food for her when she ran out. They're the best, HIGHLY recommend!
Yan was amazing with our puppy, Nova! Caring for a 13-week-old puppy is a lot of work, and she was incredibly patient and attentive the entire time. We loved getting the photo updates every day—they really put our minds at ease while we were away. One of our favorite parts was seeing how well Nova bonded with Yan’s Golden Retriever, Daisy. They became fast friends, and it was so nice seeing Nova have such a calm, gentle companion during her stay. We came home to a happy puppy, and it was obvious she had been well cared for and loved. We’d absolutely trust Yan with Nova again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thanks again, Yan!
Kristin did a fantastic job with Kika! She was always nice, responsive, and kept me updated on Kika's activities throughout the stay. She was incredibly attentive to all of Kika’s needs, prompt, and resourceful. She was also highly flexible and accommodated a pickup outside of our agreed time. Thank you so much, Kristin!
Clare was amazing! She took care of our dog for a little over a week. She sent pictures of Zoey everyday playing outside and looking great. Clare’s was extremely communicative as well. Highly recommend Clare and will definitely use her again when we need her. Thanks, Clare!
Our original sitter had an emergency while we were out of town, requiring our dog to be reassigned immediately. We were concerned that we would need to fly home. The Rover Support Team was able to look for a new sitter and Shante volunteered immediately, even though she did not get our dog dropped off until near midnight. She was quick to give us updated information able our dog and continued to send pictures every day to let us know our dog was well taken care of. She was very cooperative concerning when would could pick up our dog.

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 Little Elm 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 Little Elm 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 Little Elm.
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 Little Elm. 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 Little Elm 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.
