“Our second time to have Lori keep Harley for us. We were actually overseas for a week and I have to say I never worried about my pup! When I dropped Harley off with Lori and her family I felt so at ease that they would treat her like one of their own and indeed they did! I came home they had bathed Harley before I got there and I could tell by Harley’s demeanor that made her fell right at home for the week that she was with them. Thank you Lori for taking such great care of my girl Harley. The peace of mind is priceless!”

They were very attentive, sent plenty of photos, and we're always responsive to communications whenever we happen to reach out or had any needs. They were accommodating to the logistics that we needed for pickup and drop off, and the girls seemed very happy when they came home. Looked like they had a fantastic time playing, and we will be sure to be back”

Will 100% be booking with her again.”
“Kacie is an exceptional dog sitter that goes above and beyond. I can tell she has a genuine love for animals. Aman had a phenomenal time during his stay. He enjoyed fellowship with Kacie’s dogs, day naps, enjoyable walks and balanced down time. I highly recommend boarding your dog with Kacie. She will provide multiple updates with pics and videos daily. 10/10 experience”
“Belinda was wonderful all around she made sure to check in with me take pictures to show me Odin was doing great and would tell me he was doing great she is wonderful all around”
“Sarah is awesome. We normally have someone house sit for us as our pups are creatures of habit and tend to do a bit better in their own environment. But, Sarah is so patient. She knows how to handle separation anxiety and was great about updates with photos. We know our pups can be a bit much for other people, but she made all of us feel good about where they were. She even allowed them to sleep with her (which they do at home with us). She's definitely our go to at this point. I really can't say enough good things.”
“Christina‘s passion for dogs is evident when you first meet her. Her house is set up to accommodate the dogs. She has a kitty pool for them to play in their backyard. She takes them on walks twice a day and is very loving towards the dogs. She effectively communicated the entire time we were out of town sending pictures and updates. I would very much consider using her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Porter
I admit me and Tofu have anxiety lol. He’s been with me for almost half my life and we’re usually stuck like glue, so I thought he’d cry a lot. Right off the bat, Tofu was so relaxed and comfortable in their home. He always sticks to me when I take him to my sister’s, but he roamed around their house like it was home. They sent me picture updates and how he was doing well, so that took so much stress off me. Truly grateful he was comfortable with them and will definitely hire them again. 100/100 recommend ❤️
This is the first time I left a pet with someone other than family so I was a little nervous. Dawn and her family were very welcoming when I dropped Peter Parker off. She followed that up with frequent pics and updates. When ai saw the first pictures she sent, I knew he was in good hands. She truly cares. When I picked him up she pointed out some health info that she experienced with her dog. I am so happy because now I have someone I trust if I need to board Peter Parker again.❤️
Alyssa was an amazing sitter for our GSD puppy, Senna! We were super upfront with her about Senna being sick and Alyssa did such a great job making her feel comfortable and loved with lots of play time. We had a few medications Senna needed and Alyssa was able to give them to her with meals with no issues. Communication while we were out of the country was super easy too and Alyssa was proactive in giving us updates throughout the week. It really put us as ease. We have full trust in Alyssa to have her care for Senna the next time we need it. Thank you so much Alyssa and Chandler for watching our sweet girl!!

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.
96% of sitters in Porter 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 Porter 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 Porter.
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 Porter. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Porter 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.
