About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was young, giving me over 20 years of hands-on experience with pups of all sizes and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, high-energy breeds, and shy or anxious dogs. I’m patient, calm, and attentive—your pet’s routine, comfort, and happiness always come first. I take pride in making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and understood while in my care. I currently am a stay at home parent, which gives me plenty of flexibility to devote quality time to your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends weekday. Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and affection. I stay in close communication and keep routines as familiar as possible so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard so your pup will always have a safe place to explore. I can easily crate your dog if requested or needed, and I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special routines you provide. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean, secure, and just the way you left them. You can count on me to treat your pet and your home with care and professionalism.
“Damon and Danyale were amazing when I needed a last minute day sitter when our original sitter was not available. I’ve been needed to find a back up one close to home and definitely will be using again when needed. Damon sent many photos throughout the 2 days he was there. Highly recommend.”
“They take such good care of my dogs. My girl is very sensitive so I can always tell if someone scares her. Both my dogs are always bouncing off the walls when I come to pick them up. 🥰”
“Yesterday’s visit went smoothly! The dogs were well cared for and came home happy. I loved receiving photo updates throughout the day—it gave me peace of mind. We’ll definitely use Deepa again! Highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
“Mike was absolutely wonderful with Oso. He gave constant updates and was incredibly easy to coordinate with. My dog had such an enjoyable time and came home super warm out. Loved having Oso stay with them.”

About: My experience comes from caring for the sweetest Pekingese for 15 years. I had her since she was 9 weeks old. She unfortunately has recently passed but it was my greatest honor to care for her. As of March 2026, I currently have a new puppy that I have opened my heart to. I have also had the privilege to help watch several family member and friend's dogs over the years. My fiancé and I both work from home so we will be in the house all day during the work week to have a good eye on your pet.

About: I've never known a life without a pet. The joy of being able to see a dog every day brings a smile to my face and laughter to my life. I used to live with two 4 year old french bulldogs who. are always busy. I used to have a neighbor that had 4 dogs and 1 cat. It was amazing to be able to give love to someone else's dogs and to give peace of mind to their owners. I also helped potty train their 9-month old puppy because they worked a lot. I had another neighbor that had older dogs who I took care of when they were gone on vacation. I will give your pets unconditional love and attention.I for look forward to meeting your furry friends! My home includes cats, so I can only accept dogs who are comfortable and safe around felines.

Toria was absolutely wonderful with Rip! He’s a 1½-year-old Boston Terrier with lots of energy, and she took such great care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. She kept me updated, treated him like one of her own, and he came home happy and well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to trust Toria with Rip again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you, Toria, for taking such great care of my boy!

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 Princeton 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.

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.
