“Evan was such a great doggy sitter to my Chewy the 5 nights he stayed with him! He went above and beyond in caring for him and making sure he got plenty of exercise during his stay. We loved that he had a huge yard for the doggies to play fetch in. He also sent daily pics and updates of him which made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands 🙌🏽 10/10 would def book again!”
“This is our 2nd time using Lea to watch our dogs and she has been so great with them. She sends multiple pictures and videos and you can just tell they are having a great time. We will continue to book Lea and highly recommend her ☺️”
“Gabriela took excellent care of Candy and Daisy, including taking them for walks and playing with them. They took time to learn what each dog needed. We will be asking them to care for our dogs in the future.”
“Katherine was exceptional to put it simple. She is a dog lover and it shows. Her reviews initially sounded too good to be true but that was not the case. Her communication was, at minimum, three times daily and included photos as well as videos each time. It was like we never left Pheebs! I highly recommend her.”
About: I have loved pets since I was a young girl. They are my priority and I will make your pet my priority! I would love to have your pet over for a play date! I work from home, so always home. Your pet will be provided a loving, safe, beautiful back yard to roam freely. My home is clean, my pets enjoy other animals to play with. Trust that your baby will be taken care of as if they were in their own home. I have a large fenced backyard. They will always be supervised when outside. If your dog needs to be crated, I have crates available. They will feel right at home.
“Faith was really sweet and took care of my dog really well. She sent pictures and updated me through out the day. I trust her and know my dog is safe while I am gone for vacation. I’d recommend her!”
About: Hello I take care of your pet if like they are home. They will indeed be very spoiled. Also let me know what stuff they like and need so they can have a great time while your away. It fits perfectly as I am at home all day long and I do online school so it’s perfect also I do have my own pet so they could have fun playing. I care the pets as if it’s my own. But I know that all pets are different so I ask what they like and thier needs.
“We have left libby with a few dog sitters but Antonio was by far the best! We will for sure continue using his services. He kept us updated, was quick to respond and took such great care of her. You can tell he loves dogs and really knows how to care for them properly. We felt very at ease leaving our baby in their care. Libby was so happy when we got her again thank you!”
“Jesus and his wife are a perfect duo! They saved me last minute and my dog almost didn't want to leave because he loved the home so much. They kept me up to date and informed about his well being! Their dog is super friendly and her children adored Levi! I would not hesitate to call them again if I needed to. ”
About: I am new to this app and can’t wait to see what this is all about ! With years of experience in pet care, I have honed my skills in understanding the unique needs of each pet I look after. I provide gentle and attentive care for senior pets, ensuring they are comfortable and happy. Our animals are only here on this earth for a short amount of time and I believe in giving them the BEST life ever. You can definitely count on me to make your animals happy and feel loved. My love for animals and my commitment to their well-being sets me apart from other sitters. I am currently a full-time high school student with extracurricular activities during the week, my availability for pet care is primarily on weekends. I'm more than happy to dedicate my free time to taking care of your pets. Just let me know the specific times and needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate them on weekends! When it comes to caring for pets, whether it's in my home or the client's home, I prioritize their safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly space with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding, medication, and exercise routines. If I'm caring for pets in the client's home, I maintain a clean and organized environment, respecting their space and following their guidelines. Trust is essential, and I always prioritize the well-being of the pets entrusted to my care.
“Kelsey took good care of our dog Max. She was responsive to questions, willing to meet max before the stay and sent pictures of him during his stay to ease his mind. We will use Kelsey for any future boarding needs!”
About: I was introduced to my wonderful Sabrina when I was 4. Everyday was something new with my baby. We would go on walks, play with her toys and just spend time together. We took care of her until her very last fetch. Sabrina made me fall in love with animals. Now I have my Zoey who I love and adore as much as I did my Sabrina. I have an open schedule, so last minute scheduling is not a problem. I’m available most days of the week and weekends. Just give me a holler! I have a very nice backyard and two friendly dogs. If your pet does not get along with dogs I have a separate area for my dogs! :)
About: I’ve been around pets ever since I was 5 years old, and have taken care of them by myself ever since I was 10. I have a vast amount of knowledge in caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I even have experience helping momma dogs give birth. If your pets are on any type of medication do not worry I will take care of that for you. I also have some knowledge in training as I have trained every dog I have owned. I am currently at home almost 24/7 the only times I’m not is if I have to run so errands, but I’m never out for more than 3 hours especially if I have any pets being boarded with me. If you need me to come by and check on your pet/pets I can come by as often as needed. I do have 3 dogs living with me one is mine one is my mom’s and one is my brother’s. They all stay downstairs and whenever I have any pets staying with me they will be with me in my room which is upstairs. They will have the whole upstairs to themselves as it is gated off. If you do not wish for your pets to come in contact with mine I will make sure of that. If your dogs are dog friendly and you don’t mind them playing with other dogs I will introduce them to only my boy to have some play time. I live of 5 acres and have a huge backyard plenty of room to get their energy out. Your pets will always be watched when outside. I also live close by to a park that I can take your fur baby’s on a walk at. If your pets need to be crated at night I ask if you can provide the crate and I’ll set it up right in my bedroom. If your dogs are potty trained and are used to sleeping in bed I will allow them to sleep with me. If you happen to have any other questions feel free to ask me.
About: I'm a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. Whether you're away for a few hours or several days, I'll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection( bathing time could also be requested) just like they’re part of my own family. You can relax knowing your fur babies are in good hands!" As I am in the process of pursuing a career as a phlebotomist and enrolling in nursing classes, my schedule can be busy at times. For this reason, I don’t typically accept house sitting, but may make exceptions for short stays under a week if they are nearby and align with my availability. I do offer drop-in visits when my schedule allows and am fully accepting boarding, where I can provide consistent and loving care. I tailor my pet care based on each pet’s routine and needs, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual feeding, walking, and play schedule to provide comfort and consistency. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I always prioritize their well-being, communicate regularly with owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while in my care.
“My doggy Milo was so happy staying with Maya! I’ve used her services twice now, and she’s always incredibly caring and attentive with him. I can tell he feels comfortable and loved every time he’s with her. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Maya!”
“I am so happy to have found Rubi through Rover to care for Poppy. I had peace of mind during my travels as she communicated with me via text and video about his care and well being. I would definitely reach out again for this service.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McAllen
Melissa was amazing! Luka had such a great time and even made a new friend. 🤍 He was definitely in the best care, and we would absolutely choose Melissa again. She had excellent communication throughout the stay and kept us updated with pictures and messages about our puppy. Melissa even taught Luka a few new tricks! ☺️
Bruna was able to accommodate my request last minute. She lives very close by to me and that was a plus! My pups were well cared for! Bruna communicated well and sent me pics of how the pups were doing. My pups were comfortable in her home and were able to prance around freely. She was also able to accommodate giving my older pup his meds. I recommend Bruna to watch your pups and I will seek out her help again when the need arises! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely amazing experience! 💕 From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. She was very professional, kind, and kept us updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to us while we were away. The best part was seeing how comfortable and happy our dog looked with her. It was clear that he felt safe, loved, and well cared for. 🥰 We are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone. The only downside is that now I’m worried she’ll be booked when we need her again! 🤭 Thank you for taking such great care of our boy! 💕

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
