“Alexis and Sean were fantastic! They treated our dog as part of their family. They were very open and responsive. I appreciate their attention to detail. They work to understand all of the needs, and provide a very comfortable home away from home. Thanks!”
“Kiyo stayed with Jingyi for 3 weeks this time, and as always, we had such a great experience! He’s boarded with her multiple times now, and we always feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. We loved getting lots of photos and updates, especially seeing Kiyo having so much fun playing fetch in her huge backyard! Jingyi truly takes care of Kiyo like one of her own dogs. ❤️ We’re so grateful and would happily leave Kiyo with her again!”
“Our dog had such a great time at Cheryl's! Cheryl was great with her, and I could tell our dog had a great time there. I'd highly recommend Cheryl, and we'll definitely be using her again!”
“Amalia was so easy to work with. She took good care of my dog, Bruno and was communicative throughout the whole stay. She updates me with pictures everyday and even went above and beyond to keep my faucets dripping when the weather got too cold. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their pet to be care for!!”
“I love these guys and my dog Bo loves them too. He is always well taken care of when I bring him over, they are very responsive and send lots of photos every day they are sitting. Bo was even given a massage one time he was staying with them. These guys are great and I'm looking forward to Bo's future stays with them :)”
“Mandy was great with our boys! She took great care of them and was so gracious to watch them last minute. Thank you for doing such a great job! Will definitely take the dogs back to her again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Nazmoon! She took absolute phenomenal care of Diva while I was away. From the very beginning, it was clear that this wasn’t just a job for her—she brought a true personal touch and genuine affection that put my mind completely at ease. She constantly kept me updated with regular messages and the cutest photos, which I absolutely loved receiving. Diva was treated like family, and it’s rare to find someone who gives that level of dedicated attention and care. I will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier pet sitter! Thanks Nazmoon!!”
“Maxine was great. I felt totally comfortable leaving Banjo with her, and knew he would enjoy his time. She was also nice enough to send me multiple pictures for his overnight stay. Would definitely recommend and would use again.”
“I absolutely love Olaitan and the attention and care she gave to my child Dillion. She kept in constant communication with me before and during sitting. My baby actually ate while I was gone which sometimes he will not do when leaving with a sitter. I will definitely book her again.”

“Shalini and her family were really sweet and caring to my dog. Her house is set up well to accommodate the pets with a gate at the door. My dogs had company and we received regular updates and pictures from Shalini during the stay. When my dog did not eat her dinner her daughter sat with her to feed her. This family truly loves animal and we are grateful we had the opportunity to leave our dog there.”
“My dog Juni had so much fun at Mychelle’s! We were gone for around a week - and even with recent thunderstorms and weather issues, Mychelle was great about taking the dogs out as much as she could. She sent me lots of pics and videos while I was gone. I could not have felt happier or more at ease while out of town. I can’t wait to let Juni stay over at Mychelle’s again - it’s her second home ;)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Murphy
This was our first time booking with Melissa, and she was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and she sent frequent updates and pictures every few hours. Leaving your pup with a new sitter can always be a little nerve-wracking, but Melissa made the experience completely stress-free. I had total peace of mind knowing Dakota was in such loving and caring hands. I know she received plenty of love, attention, and cuddles from Melissa and her kids! We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I highly recommend Melissa and will absolutely be booking with her again! 😊
Jamie was wonderful with our dog, Cream! I loved getting her daily updates and photos, and it was clear that she genuinely cared and wanted her to feel at home. I really appreciated how attentive Jamie was to Cream’s individual needs. Knowing she was sensitive to Cream being shy gave me peace of mind. I could tell from the videos that Cream loved playtime in the yard! Jamie has a warm, welcoming home, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Jahnavi and her husband were wonderful with our two dogs, Luna and Bruce! From the start, they were patient and understanding as the pups got used to a new place and new people. They happily set up a meet and greet beforehand so the dogs could get familiar and we could make sure everyone was a good match. At drop-off, they even let us take our time and ease the dogs in, which made the transition so much smoother. While we were away, they sent regular photo updates and answered our questions quickly, which gave us real peace of mind. Luna and Bruce clearly enjoyed their time: they loved the backyard and their walks. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave our dogs and would absolutely book with Jahnavi again. Highly recommend!
Lea and her family are absolutely amazing. My dog, Kiya, loved her stay, and Lea kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. Kiya looked so happy in every update, and that really allowed me to relax and fully enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be using them again. It truly feels like a home away from home for Kiya.
Eloise was amazing with Cookie! She was incredibly attentive, giving him extra walks to beat the heat, and keeping him active with creative games like a doggie ball pit and treadmill. She gave regular, sweet updates that kept us completely at ease during our trip. Cookie felt so comfortable and safe with her. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Eloise to anyone!
Ngan was amazing! We were so nervous about leaving Oliver and Luna with a pet sitter for the first time, but she immediately put us at ease. Her dog-friendly home and calm, knowledgeable demeanor made us feel comfortable from the start. Right before drop-off, we accidentally nicked Oliver's nail while trimming it, and she was waiting at the door with grooming powder to help stop the bleeding. That’s someone who truly knows how to take care of pups. When we picked them up, they were freshly bathed, tired, and happy. Thank you for going above and beyond and taking such wonderful care of our babies. Ngan truly exceeded our expectations!
We hired Nithimas to watch our sweet Ruby while we were away for a week, and she was fantastic from start to finish. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos—it gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions closely and was always quick to respond to messages. When we got home, our dog was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely care about the pets she look after. We would absolutely book Nithimas again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
95% of sitters in Murphy 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 Murphy 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 Murphy.
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 Murphy. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Murphy 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.
