“They were so sweet! Sent pictures each day and when I ran late getting back They offered to keep her an extra night. They also woke up at 130 am so that I could pick her up because I didnt want to spend another night without her!! Amazing sitters.”
“My only complaint is that I did not find Clarice sooner! Her and her husband Steve are the absolute best. It is genuinely the first time I can remember not feeling overly concerned about leaving my dogs behind when I had to travel. They provide great updates and awesome pics while your pets are in their care. Plus my dogs were knocked out for two days after their stay from all the fun they had at with Clarice and Steve. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She asked great questions about Ocho’s temperament, worked with me on logistics, and kept me updated throughout his stay. I would highly recommended Stephanie!!!”
“Grace was phenomenal with our puppy. She is very attentive and I could tell she showed him so much love. This was the happiest he has been with a sitter thus far. Highly recommend!!”
“Lauren was such a good communicator and sent me multiple pictures of my boy throughout his stay! It made me feel good to know he was happy and playing. He came home exhausted! I could tell he played his little heart out.”
“We absolutely loved having Morgan and her sweet family watch Jack. We knew that he was in the best hands. Jack was cared for and had so many fun experiences going on walks, going to the dog park, playing in the yard, playing with Morgan and her family, and just being so well cared for around the clock. Morgan sent pictures, videos, and updates. She was always so encouraging, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals and excels at caring for them. She entertained and played with our pup throughout the day, and she always treated him like part of her family. We are so blessed by her care! Especially since we inquired about same day care with only a few hours notice to be gone for ten days. She was gracious and worked around our last minute time frame. We had confidence that our dog was well loved and cared for the entire time we were away. I would absolutely recommend her and will seek her out immediately whenever our dog needs care. You will be grateful for Morgan’s constant care and kindness!”
“Sarah is awesome! I contacted her when our normal sitter canceled just before we were about to drop our dog off and we were in a panic to find a sitter for the weekend, as we were on our way out of town. Sarah responded immediately and was so helpful in coordinating the drop off to make it as easy as possible. She is so sweet and our dog, Charlie, seemed to do very well with her. Thank you, Sarah, for stepping in a saving the day! We will definitely be using Sarah again!!!”
About: I have dogs since I was 4 years old. Trained them to listen to commands in sign language. My longest lived dog was 17 years old. I’m at stay at home mom with 5 kids. I have the whole time in the world for the extra babies, fur babies and hairless! I have fenced yard. I know how to groom them as well. Clip their nails. If the dogs don’t get along I will let a dog outside for a hr then switch them with large bowl of water, of course! And keep them in different room.
“Stephen has been wonderful with Ghost! We’ve left Ghost with him several times now, and every time we’ve felt completely comfortable knowing he’s being well taken care of. He’s very attentive and responsive and always keeps us updated on how Ghost is doing throughout his stay. He makes sure Ghost is eating, drinking, playing, and getting plenty of attention. What makes us especially happy is seeing how comfortable Ghost is with him and how much he enjoys being there. It’s such a relief to have someone we can trust with him, and we’ll definitely continue booking with Stephen. Highly recommend!”
“Donna was an exceptional sitter for our dog Booker. She sent us pictures every day and informed us how well he was doing. She cared for Booker like he was her own dog.”
“Mirella was an awesome sitter for my dog Oliver. I appreciated all the updates and photos through out the day! Oliver really enjoyed his stay and Mirella did an excellent job at calming his nerves my making him feel right at home🫶🏼😊 Thank you for taking such good care of my Oliver; I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Angela was fantastic! This is the first time I have used Rover when I had an unexpected trip out of town and Buddy, our 9 month old Cavapoo, was treated like a little prince in her home. She had a crate at her home and a yard where he could play. Angela genuinely loves pets and I will use her again when we go out of town!”
“Shana and Steve are the absolute sweetest. This was our first Rover experience and our 3 senior dogs got the royal treatment at their home. I received daily updates and photos which was an added bonus. I’m so grateful we found them and will absolutely book again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Chinchilla to stay! From the very moment I walked up and was greeted, I felt completely at home and knew she was in great hands. Rachel and Justin were fantastic hosts and sent so many cute photo updates throughout her stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Chinchilla had an incredible time and was cared for like family. I will absolutely be booking with them again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“The best dog sitter ever!! Not only did he accept my baby with VERY short notice but he treated him as if he was his own! 💙 Took him on multiple walks everyday and would send me picture updates of my Blue. 🐶 It was my first time using this app so I was very nervous but Joesiiah made me feel very comfortable and stress free. Will definitely book again when I’m in town. Thank you !!’”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Martindale
As always, Thomas and his family are great! First time watching our new puppy who also had a broken leg and everything went super smoothly. Couldn’t trust Thomas more and it’s great to have that relationship with him and not have to worry about our dogs during vacation!
This was our 4th time having Thomas watch our dog. It is hard to find someone you trust to watch your pet, especially for an extended period of time but we are very fortunate to have found Thomas. Our Knut is in amazing hands with him and I never have to worry or stress. Knut always comes back healthy and happy. Thomas is definitely our forever dog sitter!

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.
96% of sitters in Martindale 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 Martindale 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 Martindale.
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 Martindale. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Martindale 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.
