“Roxie had an amazing time!! Although, the weather wasn’t too cooperative, she enjoyed cuddling at home with Elaine’s family indoors. She went out for her routinely potty times, and selfies throughout her stay. Roxie can’t wait to return!!! Thank you so much!! :)”
“April is very easy to work with and was able to watch after Blazer even on short notice. Blazer and Polly (April’s dog) get along very well. They get along so well that when I picked up Blazer from April he cried for almost 30 min wanting to go back. It is very clear she takes great care of my boy! Would recommend to anyone!”
“Sophia and Frank took excellent care of two kittens on short notice. They provided consistent updates and were extremely kind throughout the kitten's time there. Your pet would be in excellent hands with this lovely family!”
“I am so happy to have found Rubi through Rover to care for Poppy. I had peace of mind during my travels as she communicated with me via text and video about his care and well being. I would definitely reach out again for this service.”
“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”
About: Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I specialize in house sitting and cat boarding, giving each pet individualized attention while keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pets and home. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, companionship, or simply a calm and comfortable environment, I take the time to learn their personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I do pet care full-time, so I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule around each pet’s needs. I’m available to stay consistent with their routine and offer multiple services such as dog walkings, drop-in visits, house sits, and pet boardings!! I treat every home and pet with a lot of respect and care. I stick closely to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I always keep things clean, secure, and send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing.
“We trusted Samantha with our dog and we are appreciative of the great care she provided him. It was our first time away from him and her daily pictures and comments during his stay reassured us that he was well. We will soon be glad to have him stay with her again .”
“Vivian was excellent. Her and her family took great care of our dog. She sent daily updates and pics of our pet. We were very pleased with the care she provided. I would highly recommend her to take care of anyone’s pets. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much!”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats new born to senior. I have taking care of animals for over 5 years and enjoy every second of it! I am able to care for those with special needs and promise to take care of every pet with care and respect! (And make sure they have a lot of fun!!) I currently work very part time only on weekends in the evening. I am not in school so I have an open availability! I also wake up early and enjoy going on walks! I will always be around them and make sure they have a fun time with me while we are together. As well as constantly making sure they have plenty of water and food, as well as keeping multiple stations for using the restroom. For cats I have multiple litter boxes, I have puppy pads for little dogs and a big fenced backyard for bigger ones!
About: I have taken care of animal since I was 13. I have fostered for many organizations and truly believe that the care of an animal is truly a rewarding experience. When I find an animal in need, I never hesitate to help however I can ❤️ I work full time as a special education teacher, so I am only available weekdays after 5 pm and have weekends available for the best care I have a fenced yard, kennels and separate rooms for dogs that I foster or shelter. When family of friends need help I help by taking their pets out and making sure all their needs are met.
About: I have experience caring for pets by providing them with a safe, loving, and dependable environment while their owners are away. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and follow any specific care instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, happiness, and well-being. Caring for pets is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have two miniature schnauzers, so I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets lots of love and attention every day. Having my own dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Because pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, I can easily provide dependable, caring, and attentive support for other pets as well. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of love and attention, and a safe, clean environment. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“I had a great experience with Claudia through Rover! She communicated really well and kept me updated with messages and pictures of my dog, Cecil. I was a little worried leaving him since he’s an older dog, but her experience with senior pets made me feel so much more comfortable. I could tell he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 112 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rio Hondo. About 99% of Rio Hondo sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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 pet, 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.
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.
