“Paige was wonderful and made me feel at ease with hourly updates and photos while my dog Roxy was in her care. Roxy was all smiles and that totally warms my heart! I’m so happy to have found Paige. An even bigger perk is she is so close to me. I plan to rebook Paige’s services very very soon. Thank you, Paige!”
“I can tell my dog loves staying with Kailei based on how excited she gets prior to arriving to her home. My dog comes back happy and tired. I feel very safe leaving my baby with her. Thank you, Kailei!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life varying in all kinds of ages, breeds, and health issues. My dogs are my world and I will treat your dog as if they are my own. I have a flexible schedule being in real estate so that makes it easy for me to schedule these extra dog walkings or check in's for my neighbors. I personally have a dog door with a fenced yard for my two dogs and have spent a lot of time training them so I trust them with the dog door open when I leave the house. For other people's pets, I will of course follow their rules if they crate or leave them free roaming in the house.
“Namita was an awesome host for my fur babies. Provided plenty of picture updates every few hrs. Namita and her husband were very cooperative during the whole process. My dogs came home very happy. I didn't have to worry abt them even for a minute. I would surely recommend Namita to other pet parents. I surely would like to request Namita for future bookings. Thank you Namita.”
About: I have a deep love for animals and will ensure that your pets enjoy their stay!! 😁 It is an honor to serve you and to look after your pets. I am at home full time during the week so I am flexible to give the quality care and devotion that pets deserve. Feel free to ask about my schedule I have a nice fenced backyard and plenty of room indoors. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs. There are parks close by as well.
“Jason did such a good job taking care of my babies! I was out of the country and he was great about giving updates and sending pictures and videos daily! I will definitely be dropping my girls off again!”
“Loooove Kellie and her family!! Over the past 11 years, I’ve resided in numerous states with my pup and have tried a TON of sitters. None compare to the experience at Kellie’s home. This statement coming from myself is not expressed lightly as I am the definition of a ‘crazy dog mom’. Naturally, I get high anxiety having to leave my pup behind during travel as I typically try and take her everywhere. Since moving to TX, it only took one stay with Kellie for me to realize that there is no one else I’d rather use exclusively to care for Storm while I am away. During the stay, Kellie keeps me posted on daily activities and provides photos. Aside from this, what I love the most are the detailed written updates as it just warms my heart to hear of my pups personality, goofy habits and funky quirks coming out during the stay which really shows how cozy and at my home Storm is with Kellie. As for this crazy dog mom, I am at ease knowing my Stormy girl is always going to be in good caring hands with Kellie.”
About: Growing up with animals all my life, I shared my love with my own kids by volunteering with our local shelter and rescues with my kiddos. With over 200 foster dogs, many of which were puppies, they are naturals and know much about pet care. We have 2 small dogs and 1 cat (inside/outside) of our own who are also accustom to other animals through our home. For care in your home, I can come by up to 4 times a day - walk, feed, water, potty breaks and play/cuddle. When at my house, I work from home, so potty breaks, walks and outside time are frequent. A typical day around here consists of potty breaks first thing and meals distributed in the morning. However, if you have a different schedule, I can accommodate that. At your home, we will start with time outside, then feed/water as needed, cuddle and play, and always go back outside for potty time before departure. We can also follow any instructions you might have. At my home, I have a very large backyard (several acres) that is currently partially fenced. While I am working on a smaller fenced area for our guests, if needed, I have a 50' lead where your dog will be fully supervised but allowed to run, play and sunbathe. Also, we will go on leashed walks.
“Wonderful and patient. Frankie had a great time. Thank you being able to watch Frankie last minute. Would definitely use her services again and recommend to others. Frankie was so happy and she updated me often which I appreciated!”
“She is such an amazing sitter! We had her watch our dog for the week and she updated us every day with pictures and messages about him. She is easy to reach out to and im so happy with how relaxed and happy our dog is with her.”
About: We are a dog loving family that have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. We have managed care for dogs of all ages and are comfortable with assisting with elderly dogs and medication management. I have a flexible schedule - working remotely most of the month and will offer pet services during the time I am home. We have a 2 yr old Labradoodle that can help keep your pet company and provide hours of entertainment 😉 We have a good size fenced yard. It is large enough to play ball and tire out your pup! I can also help with basic training commands/techniques. Pick up/drop off services are available along with a basic bath and brush.
“Lisa has been kind enough to watch Leonard on the days I have to go into the office. When I picked him up the first day, he was calm and not at all stressed. She treats him as if he is her own and he feels a lot more comfortable being in a home setting rather than at a doggy daycare. Lisa made sure he was fed at the appropriate times and took him outside when he wanted. Very thankful I’ve found someone caring to watch him.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience! Our pups came home happy, tired from a full day of playing, and absolutely loved their new bandannas. I really appreciated the thoughtful communication and how they took the time to answer my questions and make me feel at ease. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, and we’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Me and Niko have had a wonderful experience this week and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. They took amazing care of my puppy Niko and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was great on the days he stayed with updates and photos that made me feel reassured and connected. It was obvious Niko was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the attention, kindness, and care they showed, and I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“My dogs love coming to Ashley’s! They feel so loved and cared for whenever they come to her for daycare. I feel so comfortable leaving them to her knowing they are taken care of like they’re their own babies. Ashley is always professional and flexible to my dogs’ needs. Love that they are so comfortable with her and her kids.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups who need plenty of playtime to older dogs who prefer a little extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and lots of love and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I recently stepped away from the corporate world to take a break and enjoy a slower pace of life, which means I have very open and flexible availability! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. I’d love to spend some of that extra time caring for your pups! I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for running, playing, and exploring, plus a pool if your pup enjoys swimming! I also have three sweet, friendly dogs who love having new friends to play with. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Poetry commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,344 sitters in Poetry, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
