“Danny and Jose were absolutely fabulous! They took such great care of our dogs and were flexible as our needs changed! Also, amazing communication and pictures throughout! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Maegan was amazing with our dog! She sent comforting updates all the time and our dog had the best time playing with them and her dogs. She handled our dogs high playful energy with ease and we couldn’t be happier that she kept him company while we were away. Would absolutely recommend her to anybody! Thank you Maegan 🙂”
“Lynn was really great and very responsive. She even offered to pickup my pet and made it easy for us. Our pet seemed to be very comfortable with her. Highly recommend Lynn!”
“Tracy took care of my two fur babies and she is amazing! It was a last minute booking and she still accommodated for everything we needed. She took care of Carlos & Charlie as if they were her own. Sent pics and updates. My dogs felt right at home! I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Everything was perfect! Susan took great care of Winnie. She sent fun pictures every day too! We had not ever left her at someone’s house before and Susan made her feel right at home! Would definitely use Susan again.”
“Holly & Brady are responsive, great with photo updates, and most importantly - treat our dog with the love and care we’d hope for when we’re away! Such peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands :)”
“Really amazing stay for my dog! I received updates every day and my dog immediately started exploring their house when we got there! Great communication and flexibility. You can tell they are so loving of their temporary residents and I would hesitate to book another vacation for my dog with them! Highly recommend”
“Nathan is such a kind and caring person who truly made our standard poodle so comfortable and safe at his home! I love that he only takes one pet (family) at a time so that my dog is safe and gives full attention. They were wonderful and treated my pup with love and care the way that we would. When we picked him up he was happy and delighted to see us, looking like he had lots of fun! I’d definitely recommended his services and would hire them again when they’re available!”
“I almost don’t want to rate them because they were so great! Amazing communication and sent us tons of photos which we really appreciated. Doggies seemed really happy and relaxed”
“Our dogs came home healthy and content. Rebecca was awesome at keeping me updated. She was able to give my dog his insulin injections and said she was able to snuggle with my slow to warm up doggo. I felt comfortable leaving my babies with her and will keep scheduling her for care.”
“My petite goldendoodle loves his vacation stays with Lawrence! Finn gets to play with Lawrence's pups and has a great time. Finn was very relaxed when I picked him up from his 6-night stay. I will definitely rebook with Lawrence.”
“Nicole and her family were absolutely wonderful with Bunny and Laila over the weekend! They were so kind, welcoming, and accommodating, and gave our dogs so much love and attention. The frequent pictures and updates were a joy to receive and gave us peace of mind seeing how happy and comfortable both dogs were. Nicole went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a more caring family to look after our pups. We would happily book with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, attentive sitter. Thank you, Nicole and family, for taking such amazing care of Bunny and Laila! ❤️🐾”
“Kristen did a wonderful job caring for my small dog. She sent pictures daily and was quick to reply to any messages. She was also very accommodating when my time away was extended unexpectedly. I was very happy with how she cared for my dog and will definitely use her services again!”
“Ana was absolutely amazing! She cared for my beagle, Billy, for over two weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment I dropped him off, she made him feel like part of her family. Every day, Ana sent me updates and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took Billy on regular walks, gave him lots of love and attention, and treated him as if he were her own. When I picked Billy up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly very attached to Ana. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe and at home. I wholeheartedly recommend Ana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Billy has definitely found his second family, and I will absolutely book with Ana again. Thank you, Ana, for taking such wonderful care of my precious boy!”
“Becca was very easy to work with providing easily accessible information. She obviously has a great love for her own pets but also for those of others. Our Westie was returned to us happy & healthy. Her indoor and outdoor environment provided plenty of stimulation as she is only an almost 6 month old pup. We wouldn’t hesitate again to use Rebecca’s boarding service.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oatmeal
Kristen and Christina were very welcoming for our little dog with a ball of energy. A pet owners themselves, they seemed at ease with the task of sitting for an another owner’s pet and making sure the pet felt right at home with their pets. They would send photos daily and that gave us peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Oatmeal 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 Oatmeal.
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.
You and your Oatmeal 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.
