“Jordyn was absolutely amazing with Nila. I had a family emergency and had to be out of town for a few weeks, and she took such wonderful care of her the entire time. Jordyn made sure Nila had everything she needed and gave her so much care and attention. It truly meant the world to me knowing I didn’t have to worry about Nila while I was away. I’m incredibly grateful and would 100% recommend Jordyn to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. <3”

“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 great! I am very selective who I leave my dog since he is 13 and I don’t want him getting hurt. I appreciate the good care she took of him while I was away and the picture updates! He came back full grins and I could tell he had a good time.”
“We are from Colorado visiting my inlaws in Bryan and we needed a place for our sweet Daisy while going on a cruise. Ashley was amazing to communicate with and we did a meet & greet when we got into town too. Her and her family love on all the pups. We could tell when we picked Daisy up that she was so happy. Ashley sent some photos also. Daisy played in the back yard and cuddled with some of the humans. ❤ We appreciate knowing she was well loved and exercised while we were away. She was nice and tired the day we picked her up.”

“Svetlana took such good care of my Alfie! He was so happy and enjoyed his own vacation with her family. She took special care of his dietary and diaper needs, I’m very grateful for the care she provided.”

“So happy with our boarding experience with Travis and Julie! This was our 1st time with them and felt very comfortable leaving Luna with them. Very caring family, would definitely use them again. Luna was very happy when we picked her up!”

“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!”

“Our dogs had a great time with Jessica. They were very well cared for. She made sure they had plenty of walks and exercise, and took time to play ball with them each day. She was very patient and respectful of our guys separation anxiety and our little ones need for attention. We definitely recommend Jessica!”


“Kris was amazing (friendly, easy to schedule with and extremely knowledgeable about all breeds of dogs) and my dog was immediately at home with her dogs. Kris sent me pictures each day of my dog playing and having fun. I could tell my dog had a blast because she was exhausted when she came home! I will definitely be using Kris next time we need a dog sitter!!”

“Darci loves Barbara and Tucker! When we arrived, she went straight to Barbara to get some loving. It makes being away so much easier when you know your furbaby is loved and safe. Thanks, Barbara!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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.
<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 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.
