“Christopher was great! He was willing to accept my request last minute, and Axel had a great time. He kept him walked, engaged, and updated me throughout the stay. He was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to reschedule pickup due to an unforeseen situation. On top of that, he responded to messages very quickly. I’d definitely book with him again!”
“Mora had a great time with Jennifer and Brian! She stayed for a long weekend and we got several pics and videos throughout her stay. She has been there a few times and for the first time ever she approaches a sitter’s house happy. We will definitely be booking them again.”
“My fur baby seemed to like it at Tanny's house, and Tanny was so sweet to her! I love the videos and photos she sent faily, and she was easy to get in contact with.”
“Highly recommend Jessica & Nathaniel. Our big fur baby absolutely loved his time with them. Jessica sent regular pictures and updates and I am sure Bodhi is missing his little friend Sherlock. Can’t thank them enough for giving Bodhi a home away from home. We will absolutely use them again. Thank you Jessica & Nathaniel!”
“So incredibly fortunate to have found Andreia and her family! Our precious fur baby, Summer had the time of her life. So much so that we had to warn Andreia not to make Summer love her stay too much because we were worried she wouldn't want to come home anymore. We had a stress free 2-week vacation, secure and confident that she was well taken care of. Andreia and her family loved Summer like their own. We had daily updates and Andreia is very responsive. We couldn't be happier. We will definitely not hesitate to leave Summer with them again. Thank you, Andreia. Thank you to your 2 wonderful boys and your own fur baby and kitty.”
“Jenny was fantastic! We left our 15 week old beagle puppy with her for a weekend and she took such good care of her. She took her for walks and let her play outside with her super sweet dog Deesah and even continued working on her potty training! She sent regular updates and videos that warmed our heart. Im glad our puppy had such a good time and made a new friend! Will definitely work with Jenny again!!!”
“Highly recommended! Rocky had a good stay. I was provided with updates daily. Rocky made a new friend! I would definitely recommend Sabrina. She handled my little Rocky with care and love.”
“Gracie seems so happy with y’all! I so appreciate all the pics while I’m away! Kristine is an EXCELLNT dog sitter, great place for them to run and play, too!”
“Naga took such wonderful care of our Border Collie, Denver, while we were away for over two weeks. Throughout our trip, Naga regularly sent photos and videos, and in every single one, Denver looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Seeing how comfortable and content he was gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It's clear that Naga genuinely loves and understands dogs, and we are so grateful for the attention, care, and affection Denver received during his stay. We would absolutely trust Naga with Denver again, and the next time we travel, Naga will be the first person we contact. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Vanessa and her family were wonderful with our 3 year old tripod dog. With this being our first trip without her, we wanted a more personal and home-like stay for our pup, and Vanessa exceeded our expectations. We received regular photos and updates, reassuring us that we made the perfect choice. We are already planning our next vacation and are planning to book our dog's stay with Vanessa and her family, again, and will happily continue to trust her with our girl for future sitting needs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Little Elm
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.

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.
