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.
“Margarita is AMAZING!! She is great with keeping me updated about Bruno throughout the day, I love getting picture and videos! I will definitely continue to use her. 10/10 Recommend.”
“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 loved and had pets my whole life! I have always had a hard time finding someone to help watch my own cats, so I figure I can help others that feel the same way! We currently have two kitties, Zoe Nugget and GirlCat (and yes, that’s her real name lol) . It’s been so fun to watch them interact with our daughter as she growsl. I swear she learned how to crawl by wanting to follow them around the house! Kitties are all so different and have special needs and personalities. Let me know how I can best help take care of your babes!! Meow! I was also foster mom for years to several dogs of all different breeds and ages! That experience made me understand why dogs are truly man's best friend and I quickly became a "foster failure" after adopting a deaf pitbull pup stole my heart forever! I even taught him sign language! Not having dogs now just gives me more time to help love on your pups! Let me know how I can provide them the best care for their specific needs! Woof woof! Update!!! Buddy, our two year old poodle, basically fell in our laps from God himself!! He was being mistreated and our friends were fostering him, but already had two large dogs and a toddler. I didn’t have any rover jobs booked at the time, so I offered to help watch him and we instantly fell in love! He’s the most gentle, sweet and calm dog I have EVER met! We just adopted him in the middle of February!! He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids! We’ve had no issues watching other rover pups and kitties since he joined the family!! I take pride in the fact that I do this job the way I would want someone to do it for me if I was going out of town or in need of a sitter! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your fur babes! I’m currently a stay at home mama, so I can be flexible to help take care of your pups and kitties whenever works best for their schedules! I can feed, give meds, brush, play and give all the pets and cuddles! I will treat them like they’re my own and follow any and all directions!
“Nubia's fabulous with our dog! When she notices the dog needs to be corrected, she plans with us so that we're on the same page and are consistent with behavior training. She also has been very creative in figuring out ways to help my dog with some health problems that even the vet didn't think about! I highly recommend her!”
“I recently had the pleasure of utilizing the professional dog-sitting services provided by Iovanna B. From the moment I dropped off my dog, I was impressed by the level of care and attention they received. Iovanna's communication was prompt and informative, putting my mind at ease while I was away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals were evident throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend Iovanna B's doggie sitting service to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”
“I am more than pleased with Namita’s daycare services. She treated my Dusty boy as if he was her own. Her whole family was giving him lots of attention and affection and she gave me frequent updates and pics. I’m looking forward to continuing with her services. I would absolutely recommend Namita to anyone seeking daycare 😊”
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, this has ranged from small dogs to large dogs! I currently have 3 dogs myself, and they would love a temporary play mate! I have been working home for 10 years, and would love to watch over your sweet babies during my day! I have three minature dauchsunds at home who are happy to play! I have a large backyard that will allow you dog as much playtime and activity as they desire. I can also crate if needed with separate rooms to keep the dogs feeling safe if overwhelmed.

About: Hi! 🤗I am an animal person all the way! All my life, I've had dogs and cats as pets. Mom & I live in a log house that my dad built on 3 acres in McLendon Chisholm. So these house sits are my little stay-cations. :) On our farm we have 6 dogs, 3 cats & 28 goats that we rent out for goat yoga! I have a keen sense of intuition that assists me in meeting all your animals' & plants' requirements when you’re away. Animals always immediately feel at peace with me because I am a well balanced person emotionally and spiritually. I am a loyal, responsible Realtor that loves care-giving & world travel. I also foster animals with Dallas Animal Shelter & a local rescue. I will pamper your pets and love them like my own. When messaging me to meet and plan, please include the time of day you will be leaving & returning, any allergies your animals have, special requirements, & if they need to be crated when I’m not there. I don’t list boarding on my profile because I had a boarder dog almost kill my cat. But I may be open to bringing yours to my house if we all believe it will work. My pack is very accustomed to furry friend guests. Let’s make a play date! Pets find joy in being around humans who appreciate their companionship. I find that the animals in my life adapt to my schedule and a synchronicity is developed between us, even if it’s temporary for a housesit. I am open to interpreting the energy of the needs presented to me by pets and their humans. I am very free spirited and offer daily updates around 10:30AM each morning. However, some humans require more communication several times a day asking about their pets. I try to find a balance in enjoying the day and sending enough communication to the owners of all these sweet creatures! Sometimes when humans have cameras, I think they are watching us anytime they want, so there isn’t as much need for frequent updates.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I first learned to walk, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors. Whether your fur baby is a playful adventurer or a cozy couch potato, I tailor my care to their vibe. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and way too many photos (you’ll get daily updates, promise 📸🐾). I offer in-home boarding in a calm, clean, dog-friendly space—think soft blankets, good energy, and lots of tail wags. If your dog is a little anxious, picky, or just needs that gentle feminine touch, you’ve found the right sitter. I have two sons that love dogs just as much as I do and I also have an old senior citizen grandpa named Hercules🐕. Don’t worry he sleeps all day and is impressed by food and food only! 😂 ✅I’m available for meet and greets always. ✅Special needs, shy and senior friendly! ✅Puppy friendly!! My vibe is grounded, nurturing, and detail-oriented—but also fun. I’ll send updates, stick to your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel totally loved while you're away. Let’s connect! Your pet deserves nothing less than intentional care from someone who adores what they do 💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my days naturally revolve around care, connection, and consistency—so adding pets into that rhythm feels seamless. I’m already tuned in to routines like morning walks, mealtimes, and keeping a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it’s letting a pup sunbathe while I sip coffee or sneaking in cuddles during nap time, animals easily become part of the flow. I love the energy they bring to the house—whether playful or peaceful—and I’m always present to notice what they need. Pets fit right into our home like family, and caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s just another way I get to show up with love and intention each day. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, medications, or extra snuggles before bed. I have a secure, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play, sniff, and stretch their legs freely under my supervision. Inside, they’ll find cozy spaces to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family, tuning into their needs and making sure they’re comfortable, engaged, and always cared for with kindness and patience.

I am able to let them out into our fenced yard as often as they need and they will get lots of play time with our own dog and a dog park down the street from us. Our dog sleeps on a dog bed in our family, but we are able to accommodate whatever sleeping situation is needed for your animal (apart from them sleeping on our bed, which we don't allow :) ).

The dog park is within walking distance of our neighborhood, and I will always take the animals on leash there until safely inside the park.

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 1,364 sitters in Poetry, 92% 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.
