We will definitely be a regular customer ! Please give her a try, you won’t regret it!”

“As a first-time user of Rover with a pet who has been cared for by the same boarding facility for the past nine years, I was a bit apprehensive of taking her to someone else, but I knew it was time for a change. I had no doubt that my Missy would receive adequate care; I was more concerned about whether she would fit in with her new host family. America did an amazing job of helping me through the process and making me very comfortable leaving Missy with her. America sent videos and status updates throughout our stay and was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times. I'm looking forward to booking with America again, and I recommend her highly!”
“Another great stay with Chassidy and her family. Parkie loves his visit there and, their home is his second home. Chassidy keeps me informed with text messages and pics of Parkie while we are away. We never worry about his care there. Thank you Chassidy!”
“From the moment we arrived, Truman felt completely at ease—she went right up to Janna with no hesitation! It was clear that she and her husband had a calm, welcoming energy that dogs can sense right away. Throughout the stay, they kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell that our baby was relaxed and happy the entire time. We were at ease as well knowing she is in good hands. They also accommodated our last minute concerns and requests. I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

I would definitely use their services again!”

From the very beginning, she gave me complete peace of mind with her experience, availability, and genuine love for caring for dogs.

I truly appreciate everything Cora did for them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Linda and Joseph are such lovely people and took such great care of our 9 month old puppy. I received lots of pictures during our two day trip. It’s always nerve wracking to leave your pet with people you don’t know, but Linda made us feel completely at ease the minute we met her. Definitely will use again.”

My dogs can sometimes be a handful together, but she did a great job! She sent lots of photos of them, and was always very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely ask Andrea to watch my dogs again in the future!”

This is the first time we have ever used Rover so we were a bit nervous about leaving our pup. Shaobi was so good with our pup and her daily pics and videos reassured us that she was in good hands. I highly recommend using Shaobi for anyone wanting a great and caring petsitter. We will definitely be using her again.
I had an exceptional experience with Me Ara From the moment we arrived, it was clear our pet would be in great hands. Communication was excellent, and we received regular updates that gave me peace of mind. Her home was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel even more comfortable. She also have a huge yard, perfect for exercise and playtime. My pet came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and love shown throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Ms Ara to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for their pet. 🐾✨

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
