“Rachel and Justin were amazing. They gave constant updates on my pup and sent plenty of pictures. He spent his days getting a bunch of affection and playing outdoors!”


About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Over the past year, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience dog sitting and caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. From daily walks and playtime to meals, medications, cuddles, and overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I love getting to know each dog individually and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether we’re out exploring, relaxing at home, or simply enjoying some extra attention, I’m happiest when I’m spending time with dogs. My goal is always for both the pups and their parents to feel happy, comfortable, and confident that they’re in good hands. I currently work a full-time job, so I’m typically away from home from 7-3 Monday through Thursday and home on Fridays and weekends. That said, I always make sure my pups are a priority and receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an 11-year-old dog named Maya who is friendly and would be happy to keep your pets company during their stay.
“Friendly, reliable, and communicative. They followed medication and feeding instructions, sent updates, and walked my pups. I felt confident in their care of my two dogs while I was out of the country.”

“Our toothless dog Coco loved Michelle! Michelle communicated with both my wife and I, which made her so happy. She made so many accommodations and was extremely patient with us since our dog is kind of high-need and just came out of a surgery. I don’t feel like Michelle is charging enough for what she did for us watching our Coco.”

About: Growing up I have a had all types of dogs that I owned or took care of solely my responsibility. I have had a pit bull, frenchie, Kane Corso , Basset hound, Shih Tzu, and Husky so I am used different sizes, fur, breathing issues, eating habits, even leg issues. I still love them all the same but I knew care had to be taken with a different approach individually. I was always taught dogs are family too and being away from home I’m missing apart of my family. So I wouldn’t just treat this like any other dog I would treat your pet like my own. Pet care would fit get into my routine I am an early bird because of college. Most of my classes are online I only have one in person on Tuesday and Thursday at 5:00 pm. So the rest of the time is really mine to decide what to do. My apartment complex is really great for dogs we have a beautiful trail right outside of are complex. We have a doggy park in the middle of it too. My unit is on the first floor so we have a backyard with a fence perfect for easy access potty breaks. My roommates have a cats but have agreed to put them away if not comfortable. As for daily routine of eating it really depends on what you think is best for your dog so say your is only good at intaking half cup at a time and only early or at set times. I’ll make sure to follow it because I know change can create stress on dogs. Also if your dog is trained a certain ways like say they aren’t allowed on couches, beds or told to sit before going outside. I would like to know so that I can keep the same training going so they don’t lose the habit. They are allowed on couches and beds if the owner says it is allowed.
“Claudia was absolutely exceptional! She took such wonderful care of Ziggy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent daily updates with photos and little check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind without making us feel like we had to constantly check in while we were on vacation. What I loved most was how much she truly catered the experience to Ziggy. She took her on so many fun outings and adventures, and it was obvious from every photo that Ziggy was happy, comfortable, and loved like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup is the best feeling. I was beyond impressed with the care, attention, and genuine love Claudia showed Ziggy. We will absolutely be booking with her again, and honestly, I’m already looking forward to our next visit. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Gus had a good time with Peyton and was more than well taken care of. Peyton was awesome working with me with a super last minute booking. I will not hesitate to book with her again!”

“Victoria was amazing with my dog Hank! I received tons of precious photo updates while on my trip and my dog came back happy and healthy :) I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

“Loui had a wonderful time with ken, he took care of all his needs with plenty of walks and playtime. I highly recommend Ken and wouldn’t hesitate to have Loui stay there again.”

“Ryan was great, super communicative and easy to schedule with. Had some flight delays coming back and he was able to watch Cooper for an extra night on short notice which was greatly appreciated”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.
“Chris is a great sitter! He's had my puppy twice now and is my go-to when I need her cared for. This time he also picked her up and dropped her off which was a massive convenience. The pictures he sends are also very appreciated - you can tell that all the dogs are well looked after.”

“Amy was wonderful!!! She took such great care of Teddy while we were away, kept me updated and sent pictures of his stay. Teddy was one happy dog, we will definitely use Amy again :)”

“Neena has a lovely home that was perfect for our pup to feel comfortable in. She had great communication and gave him the perfect amount of exercises. I was always provided updates via pictures even if I was away from service. It was nice to see pictures of George (our pup) when we got service back in while traveling. Definitely recommend!”

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!

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
