“Kelsey was great at keeping me updated on how Bonnie was doing. Her home and her calm demeanor made Bonnie feel at home. I will definitely book her again when the need arises!”
“Lori went above and beyond to be sure my baby was well taken care of while I was out of town. She was very attentive and communicative. 11/10 would book with her again!!! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“We always leave our dog with Kristina when we go out of town. Our dog gets so nervous when we’re leaving, but when he sees he’s at Kristina’s house he can’t wait to go inside. I always know he’s having a great time and appreciate the pictures and videos she sends each day. And he always comes home tired from all the playing he’s done!”
“Arienne provided great care for our two dogs while we were away. Unfortunately one of my dogs had an accident on her furniture and she was very understanding. You can tell Arienne really loves dogs and is a true dog lover. I would highly recommend using Arienne for any dog sitting needs!”
“Olga was great! She was awesome about giving us updates and tips for Watson’s return home. She also was super accommodating to our late night pickup which we were so grateful for! Her other dogs were so sweet and seeing them play with Watson made me so happy! We would highly recommend if you want your pup to have a blast while you’re away!”
“Deanna was great! Easy to work with and my dog and cat were well taken care of! Also very flexible with timing and willing to work with me even though it was short notice. Great experience overall!”
About: I’ve cared for many pets in and outside of work! I’m a Veterinary Technician and I run my own business that specializes in Dog Sitting, Flight Nanny for Pets, and Puppy whelping. I’m comfortable working with puppies, dogs of all ages, cats, and nervous pets! I have plenty of time to care for 4-6 pets a day! I’m new to the area as I came from Missouri. Fairly open schedule ability during the week days. I strive to have a clean environment at all times, a safe environment for the pets and myself, and to make sure every pet is happy!
“Rachel was great with responses & pics. My dog was so happy and had a great time with Holly & the fam. Will definitely use her again! Holly is a sweet Rottie & they played so well together. Thanks Rachel, fam & Holly for taking care of my girl!!”
“Thank you, Tamara, for taking such good care of our Schultz during our daughter's wedding weekend. He seemed so content and enjoyed your dogs as company. We look forward to using your services again!”

“I am so happy that I chose Alexis and her baby girl to watch my dog. The second I met them I knew that my pup would be in good hands.

“Joyeux was a “joy” to work with! ? She took wonderful care of our kitty, Linc. Great communication and pictures every day! He really loved his stay! We will definitely be booking Joyeux again!”
About: Jasmine is petsitter with 15 years of experience! She has cared for 3 family dogs, 3 cats, several long term family pets and a few friends’ pets because of her loving nature and enthusiasm for all animals. She has been and active Rover petsitter as of 2021, and continues to share her love for dogs and cats with lively photos to pet parents, patience with shy, aging, and special care furry friends. She loves to train and treat pets and is happy to cuddle and share her space with them. With multiple recurring clients and a current household of 3 cats, you can feel confident that Jasmine is cautious, attentive and creates a safe space for your fur babies. I have a cat of my own, start my day making sure he has everything he needs. A pet needs attention throughout the day & I make myself available for our 4-legged friends so that they can have a comfortable and fun day. I usually spend some extra time with nervous & extra care pets! I work remotely so my availability is quite open! I usually like to ask if there is a route or potty stops your pet likes mostly when it comes to walks. A nervous habit of mine is double checking everything so food, water, cages, and doors will be left in good condition! I always include some play time during my overnight stay or check ins- as long as it is okay with a pet parent! I truly value the relationship I have with animals and can guarantee to always be diligent, patient, and attentive no matter their personality traits! If there are any problems or confusions on my end, I am swift with text messaging and will fulfill any updates no matter the frequency or lack of response!
“Alyssa was incredible with Scooby! She provided plenty of pictures, took him to the dog park, got him a pup cup and I genuinely felt like she treated him as if he was her own pup. I will definitely be using her again when I go out of town! Highly recommend her to take care of your pets 💜”

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.

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.
97% of sitters in Richards 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 Richards 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 Richards.
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 Richards. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Richards 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.
