“Sara is a wonderful pet sitter. She took such good care of our 11 year old mutt during our short vacation. She sent pictures everyday, and kept us informed about him. Our fur baby came back happy and that really showed he was well treated. I will definitely use Sara again for any future needs. I highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer and Brian did great with my little Jackie. It was a first time she was away from home in many many years and she was taken care of very well. I highly recommend them and will request their services again in the future.”

“Salene did an amazing job with our pup! This was her first time being away from home so we were a little nervous cause she can be a little crazy puppy! But Salene was very patient and it helped having her little doggies be friends with ours! She sent photos and updated every day and snuggled with our little one cause she loves the cuddles! Highly recommended and will be using her again in the future!”
“Nikki is great in understanding the needs of my pet. My pet simba was happy coming from her boarding. I would go back to Nikki again and I bet my little would feel the same”
“Everything with Kristi was easy; from booking, communication, to drop off and pickup. Mitzi had a good time with their pup and we will definitely use Kristi for a future booking.”

“Juan and his family were wonderful! They took excellent care of Sasuke. Right off the bat, when I first met him, I got a great first impression and Sasuke took kindly to him (which is always a plus)….He was warm and friendly and was great with my pup. He made us both feel comfortable. During Sasuke’s stay, Juan sent me photos of my baby having fun, which was really nice. Definitely booking again.”
“Janet was awesome with our Kelsey this weekend! She kept us updated with fun pictures everyday and was super helpful to meet our scheduling needs. She’s pleasant, kind and very warm and by the way, has a very beautiful home/backyard! I highly recommend Janet as your next dog sitter, as long as you don’t clash with my booking! :-)”

“Our pet is taken care by Madison very well , daily updates with pictures and messages . We had peacefully able to attend the event . In future , will use the service again . Thank you , for your service .”
“Linda watched my Bella for 5 days/4 nights during a recent business trip and I'm so grateful for her services. She is very thorough, providing regular updates, pictures and quick communication with any questions or concerns. Bella has special needs with allergy medications and skin treatments that Linda was able to provide. She also gave her lots of cuddles and I could tell Bella was happy and content in the pictures, which is a huge win given she usually has anxiety when I'm gone. Thank you so much Linda!”
“Keyuana did a great job watching our two Havanese. She kept in contact about potential issues and sent us pics each day. We liked that she walked the dogs every day, sometimes twice. I have no doubt that our dog's stay was comfortable and enjoyable.”
“Dana & Adam treated our puppy Bentley like he was their own! They sent photos throughout the stay whenever I asked and he seemed to have a great time with them! I would definitely book again with them.”
“Damon and Danyelle were very kind and flexible while taking care of our dogs! They cleaned up after and took care of our pup with a sensitive stomach. Would definitely recommend using them if you’re looking for someone trustworthy to take care of your pets.👍”

Breanna was great with my puppy! My older dog had to have emergency eye surgery and I was headed out of town the next day. I thought it would be too much on my mother to care for both of my fur babies, so I reached out to Breanna. She was able to meet me on short notice before booking. Very communicative and kept me updated on my pup’s activities. I would definitely recommend.
Can’t be more grateful to Booke for the services offered. She always went above and beyond proving necessities for my Pet’s stay. Buddy felt so loved that he started missing Brooke. Must say Buddy has found a second home and will certainly be my go to for future. Thanks Brooke for all you did!
**Rachel and her family took amazing care of our puppy and treated her like she was part of their family. They even took the time to work with her on leash walking, which we really appreciated. We received updates throughout her stay, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you again for everything! We would 100% book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.**
Kerry and Michael were incredibly kind and took wonderful care of Galleta. She came home happy and relaxed, and they constantly shared photos and updates, which gave us a lot of tranquility while we were away. Thank you both for being such excellent hosts , we truly appreciate it.
Sagun was great and Max had a great time during his stay. This was my first time leaving Max and Sagun made it so much easier. She kept me well informed and sent photos of how he was doing. This was a trial run for out family vacation at the end of the month and I feel so much better now leaving him since I know he will be in great hands and well cared for. Thanks Sagun!!
We used Jay & Caitlin again recently for a last minute family emergency, and they were amazing. They responded quickly and were incredibly accommodating on short notice, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a stressful time. Just like before, communication was great, and they kept us updated with messages and photos. It’s such a relief knowing we have people we can trust when unexpected situations come up. We’re so grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, caring sitters!
We had an excellent experience with Tyra while she cared for our dog, Kona, for a two-week stay. Kona was incredibly well taken care of and clearly had a blast with Tyra and her family—it truly felt like a home away from home. Tyra’s communication was consistent and thoughtful throughout our time away, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also very flexible and attentive in adjusting to Kona’s schedule and needs, which we truly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience and will absolutely be booking with Tyra again. Highly recommend!

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.
