“My Bentley felt at home with Cathy. This was my first time having a dog sitter outside of having family keeping him. I can tell he enjoyed himself. Bentley will be going back again. She is a loving and caring person who loves dogs.”
“My husband and I were on vacation in Mexico when we were contact by Rover regarding an issue with the 1st sitter we had booked for Kimber. Unfortunately, it wasn't a great fit, but Mark stepped in to help with Kimber and he was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be using him again! Thank you again Mark for helping us with Kimber and for the easy transfer from the original sitter!”
“Jessica went above and beyond as far as communication, pictures, and making sure my pup was comfortable and attended to during her first stay and 4th of July fireworks. I can understand why she is so well rated! No notes :)”
“Courtney was god sent! With our late booking, I was super nervous about dropping our pup off with someone new (especially with his separation-anxiety). Courtney took him in with open arms, listened to all my worries and requests, and went above and beyond. She sent multiple pictures and videos, always woke up in the morning with an update, she truly made leaving our baby easier than I thought it could ever be. Thank you again and we will see you soon!”
“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.”
“Lori was wonderful!! Her home was very inviting for our dog. Clean, dog toys and lots of comfortable pet beds for her to sleep. This was our dog’s first encounter with a cat and Emmy enjoyed that. Lori videotaped that for us and it was a delight. Lori was easy and available to communicate with. We loved Lori and so did Emmy.”
“Ashley is the beast to ever do it!! She’s so sweet and so caring. Her intentions are so pure. If I ever need someone again I would love for her to doggy sit my dog. She worked with my schedule very well, I even had an emergency and had to extend 1 more night and She was so accommodating. My dog was due for a shower, which I feel so bad because he didn’t make it to his grooming appointment before I took him to her. Ashley took him a bath for me, it’s like a received a new dog. I am so thankful. Go with Ashley!!!”
“Tema was a great host. Very accepting of a last minute request and easy to work with. She sent many pictures and accommodated my being slightly late. Our dog Lucy had a great time and was returned to us very tired. Tema also was very informative about Lucy throughout her stay including how much she was eating and how she was settling in. Overall can definitely recommend Tema and will be booking with her again.”
“They did a wonderful job watching our dog, Pico! She looked happy in every picture they sent to us and reported on her with photos! Spoiled her with treats and respected my wishes to not feed her human food. I would definitely recommend!”
“Annette was an absolute lifesaver, and we feel so fortunate to have found her! She cared for our dog, Milo, for almost two weeks, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. She followed his feeding schedule perfectly and clearly took his routine and well-being seriously. We especially appreciated the thoughtful, consistent updates while we were away. Twice a day, Annette sent wonderful photos and videos of Milo, giving us peace of mind and letting us relax knowing he was happy and well cared for. Annette is reliable, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving toward animals. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Milo and wholeheartedly recommend booking her. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Norma and her family were so amazing to my dog! They treated her like if she was theirs! My dog definitely enjoyed her stay and I will be booking with her again real soon! Thank you Norma! ?”
“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”
“Booked with Brianne again, she is the absolute best!! Duncan has a great time every single time we board with her and we know he’s in a chill, nurturing environment. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Jillian I ended up booking with her somewhat last minute when my regular sitter had a family emergency, and even though she was farther away than I would normally look, I am so glad I found her. From the moment I dropped Ace off, I felt like he was in great hands. She was incredibly communicative, sending pictures and videos every day and keeping me updated on how he was doing. It wasn’t just the updates themselves it was clear from everything she shared that she genuinely cared about him and was paying attention to his needs. I’ve used other sitters before, and if I’m being honest, this is the most comfortable I’ve ever felt while being out of town and away from my puppy. Knowing Ace was safe, happy, and well cared for gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind to care for their dog.”
“Victoriya and James were absolutely amazing with our three special needs kitties, one of whom is epileptic and needs several medications daily at specific times. She provided daily detailed updates with pictures - and took extra special care to make sure our high maintenance cats were eating, healthy, happy, and thriving! We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry about our babies! We wish we could give her more than five stars!!! This is the only place we feel comfortable leaving our kitties. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our pets!!!!”
“Nadiia was incredible! I was a bit worried leaving Sadie alone with someone for the first time, but Nadiia was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, sent me multiple updates throughout her stay, and treated Sadie like one of her own. I definitely recommend and look forward to using Nadiia again!”

Gisselle is absolutely amazing and did a phenomenal job taking care of my dogs! I had an unexpected emergency come up, and she was so understanding, kind, and completely flexible in accommodating me on short notice. She communicated with me every single day and sent the sweetest videos of my pups, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs looked so happy and clearly loved her from the start. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and am so grateful for her wonderful care!

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.
95% of sitters in Porter Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights.
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 Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 Heights 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.
