“Alexandra was amazing with our two dogs, Abby and Bear, during their 6-night stay with her! She sent daily pictures and updates and stayed in communication with us the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is incredibly friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. Abby and Bear were well cared for and came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”

“Cathy took great care of Chuchito. She always kept us posted on how our dog was doing and sent pictures of him. When we picked him up he seemed really happy and comfortable. We'll definitely take Chuchito with her again when we need it.”

“Very responsive and sent lots of pictures. My flight waa delayed and put me getting in very late but she was willing to work with me to have my dog stay another night. Plenty of space for the dog to run around. Definitely reccomend.”

“Courtney was amazing. She accomodated our drop and pick up times and took great care of our dog! When I picked her up she was happy! We will definitely book with her again.”


“Very outstanding communication, I received updates photos and videos everyday it helped a lot not being stressed or worrying if Moose was taken care of. Definitely will rebook when going on other trips. Jessica has truly made our first Rover experience very delightful.”

“Carol and her husband were great. We were on a cruise, so didn’t have access to cell service but still received picture updates throughout the stay. I was very pleased with their hospitality and care they showed towards my dog. This was the first time in a long time I’ve had to board my pet, so I was hesitant with the process. But after meeting them and their own dogs, I was relieved with the process and situations. My dog is a Jack Russell puppy, so he has an abundant amount of energy and I hope that he wasn’t too much trouble for them. If I need boarding again, I will definitely see if Carol and her husband are available and willing to take my dog again. Thanks again!”

“Kolleen took great care of my two dogs, Lovely and Stella. She sent lots of pictures and videos while taking care of them. I will be using Kolleen’s services in the future.”

She was very attentive, kept me updated, and was so patient and caring with him and his needs. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. He seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I picked him up. I would absolutely trust her to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving with their pets! Thank you again Ashley ☺️”

“Absolutely amazing experience with Shanieka. I left my baby with her for five days and when I went to go pick he up he did not want to come back with me. He loved her so much. Very professional and most importantly responsive. She sent me videos and photos multiple times a day which was relieving and considerate. She had additional toys and made sure he took his energy out on the daily. She’s my go-to dogsitter moving forward. You won’t regret booking with her.”

“Austin & Courtland took amazing care of our sweet Iris for us while we were out of town and we could not be more thankful! She is an older dog and can tend to require a bit of extra attention at times with her allergies and stiff joints and they took such excellent care of her and accommodated all her (and our) needs. We were a bit nervous as this was our first experience with this, and it could not have been better and we are so glad it worked out so well with their sweet family taking care of our fur baby. We would highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again! Thank you again!”

She updated me daily with photos , videos and gave me a summary on how their day was going . I honestly recommend her if you are nervous thinking no one would take your pup in and want someone who cares for them! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

Norma was an amazing host for Bruce Wayne! She was very communicative throughout his stay and regularly sent pictures and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. Bruce Wayne had an amazing 7 days with her, and it was clear he was well cared for and loved. I would definitely recommend Norma to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring host. I’ll absolutely be using her services again! Gracias por todo, Norma!

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!!

95% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.

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 .
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.

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.
