“Stella had a great time with Dorothy. She provided constant updates and kept in contact with us the entire time we were gone. We have one tired happy dog. Can’t wait to use her again!”
“I just adopted Diesel, but couldn't take him home for the holidays and I've never used Rover before. I chexked reviews and ratings and immediately fell in love with this family. Disesel and I got to do a meet and greet a few days before I dropped him off, the meet and greet went well so I proceeded to confirm Diesel staying with Maddison and Wesley for the holiday. Diesel had a great time and they sent me daily updates and photos. Maddison and Wesley were extremely flexible with my pick up and drop off times. Extremely happy and would definitely all them to be a repeat sitter.”
“My dog came home so happy. Tatum is the best. She sends everyday a picture of my dog while walking to the dog park, sleeping after a long day. I know shes well taking care of. she cleans all her stuff before going home. I cant say thank you enough.”
“Our dog has anxiety and at seven years old has never done anything like this. She’s always just stayed with family, but Joel made her feel like family. 10/10 recommend!”
“Heather was amazing! We have used Rover many times and our experience with Heather far surpassed the others. She sent a lot of pictures, walked our dogs, her kiddos cuddled and gave a lot of attention to our animals. I highly recommend booking with Heather. We for sure will be using her in the future.”
“Suzanne was very caring and thoughtful with our two dogs Maisie and Winnie. She made it very easy for us to get away for a weekend. Very thankful and will definitely book with her again. Thank you!”
“I was really nervous because I needed someone to watch Sugar and Cookie at the last minute and wasn’t sure I would be able to find someone I could trust. I’m so glad I found my sitter! They did an excellent job taking care of my dogs and made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. The communication was great every day. I received updates about Sugar and Cookie, including what they were doing and their daily activities, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell they were being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. I would definitely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and great with dogs. I will absolutely use them again!”
“Brittny took great care of our girl, Heidi, during her stay. She was very communicative and shared pictures of our pup several times throughout the day. She even had an extra room with a doggie bed so our pup had her ‘own room’ for her stay. 😃 Highly recommend and we will happily board our pup with Brittny the next time our trip dates and her availability align!😊”
“Ashli was absolutely amazing. Our kitties absolutely love them. They are such kind people. We received continuous updates with photos and even videos. We will absolutely use them again.”
“I needed a sitter for my two pups asap. Ayanna responded immediately and was able to help. This was a significant relief and the boys loved her. She knows how to handle dogs extremely well. Definitely will use her again.”
About: I’ve house/animal sat for numerous family and friends over the years. As well as I have a 4 year old Dalmatian. I love taking care of animals and would be delighted to anytime. Due to having a pup at home I can not stay overnight but more than happy to let fur babies out super early/ late. I am currently a full time nurse I have plenty of free time on my hands when requested in advance! Also have help when needed! I have a big fenced in back yard with lots of room to run around. As well as a spunky Dalmatian to play and keep your fur baby busy.
“Great experience! She sent several pictures and updates. When we picked up Tinkerbell she was so happy. We’ve used Rover a lot and can tell she was well taken care of! We’ll definitely use her again!!”
“Excellent experience. Thus far the best experience using Rover. I felt comfortable leaving my doggy with her immediately. I received daily updates, and communication.”
“Sara was awesome!! I haven't had a dog sitter in a very long time and I have had previous bad experiences but Sara made me and my babies feel very welcomed! Definitely will be using her services from now on!”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m absolutely not new to caring for pets. I’ve had both cats and dogs for years, and I’m the person friends and neighbors trust when they need someone dependable who actually cares. I pay close attention to routines and what each animal needs to feel comfortable, and I follow instructions exactly so everything goes smoothly. I’m great with shy or sensitive pets, and I know how to keep them calm, happy, and feeling safe. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m very comfortable with everyday care, basic commands, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet will be in good hands with me—treated with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own. I work from home part-time, have two kids in daycare, and a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week, including weekends. I can care for pets in my home, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard, so pets can enjoy some fresh air safely. I do have young children and will only take dogs/cats that are safe being around children, for both of our safety.
“Karen was very responsive throughout the stay and took my dog to different parks daily. Karen's dog Tiger is also very friendly and playful. Tofu had a great time with a compassionate human and canine companion. We will definitely be back.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 River 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 River.
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.
You and your Little River 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.
