“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!”
“Ashley is the best! Moose has the best time with her and her kids! He gets to run around on lots of land all day and get lots of snuggles when he’s inside! 10/10 recommend her for all of your dog sitting needs!”
“Svetlana took excellent care of Dexter during his two-week stay. Communication was great from start to finish, and she consistently sent detailed updates, photos, and videos every day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while traveling. It was clear Dexter was very comfortable and happy in her care. She paid close attention to his routines, walks, eating habits, and even adapted really well to communicating with him using hand signals since he is deaf. We especially appreciated how observant and thoughtful she was about his comfort, behavior, and exercise. Dexter clearly bonded with her family and PomPom, and it genuinely felt like he was staying in a caring home environment rather than just being boarded. We would absolutely book with Svetlana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”
“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!”
“It was my cats first time being watched by anyone and this couple made the experience perfect for her. They are very good at keeping updates and gave her all the love to make her feel safe and happy. Thank you again and I will be booking a longer stay next month 💜”
“Arianne was so caring and compassionate with our dog! She kept our dog while we were away for a weekend. She kept communication with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and texts updating us on how our dog was doing and asking questions when needed. She was very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors, as well. She is quick to respond and was very accommodating us, even though we contacted her with less than a week before our trip. I highly recommend her!”
“This is the second time Wallace and his family have taken care of our fur babies. They feel right at home there, get great care, love and exercise. And Wallace keeps us up to date with pictures and text messages. We are very grateful for Wallace and his family.”
“I don’t normally board my dog so was very nervous at first. Roy made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them and their dog Scout! He sent me lots of updates and pictures. I know they treated my dog as their own. Definitely will be using them in the future!”
About: Hi! I'm Olga, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of dogs, from Miniature Poodles and Labs to four Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I have two dogs of my own, Atlas and Gaia, who are fully trained and well behaved. I've also trained them myself, along with helping train a few other family dogs over the years. I currently provide in home boarding and daycare for dogs and treat every pup like one of my own. I pay close attention to their behavior and well being, and I'l always keep you updated about anything I notice, whether it's an upset stomach, diarrhea, resource guarding, unusual behavior, or anything else that may be important. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they're with me. 🐾 ❤️ Dogs are already a big part of my everyday life, and I'm home often, so caring for pups fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having them around and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play, plus a little dog pool for them to cool off and have fun outside. I also enjoy playing fetch, spending time with them, and giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I'Il adjust activities based on each dog's energy level and what they enjoy most.
“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!”
“He was so amazing with Scooby! It was my first time using something like Rover, and he always updated me with pictures and videos. He made me feel so comfortable about leaving Scooby. 12/10 for sure and will definitely be going back!”

I am currently available all day every day! I am between jobs at the moment so please do not hesitate to schedule time with me. I respect each individual pets needs and will accommodate them.

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.

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.
