“Ariana was wonderful. Very flexible and laid back. I felt totally comfortable leaving my girls with her. They were well cared for, and I received pictures and updates to help my peace of mind. The girls were happy to see us, but have settle right into a contented calm when returning home. It makes it so much easier to leave them a few days knowing they are happy and in good hands while we are gone. We look forward to next time. Thank you so much, Ariana.”
“Our dogs stayed at Jenna’s for almost a week, and we had no issues. Jenna even went out of her way and picked up more dog food for us when we discovered I hadn’t brought enough. Will book with them again!”
“Jorge was absolutely the best. My pups were so happy and well taken care of . He had great communication and gave me lots of updates and pics throughout the weekend . I 100 percent recommend him as a sitter . Not only was he just super nice , the pups even got doggie bags to go !”
“Rhoda was very nice and communicative. She addressed any concerns or questions I may have had before the bookings. She sent me many pics of our dog and checked -in. She was ver accommodating with us when we adjusted out drop off time. I can tell my dog Ryan felt comfortable and was taken care of he wasn’t shaking when I picked him up and seemed really relaxed . Thank you Rhoda.”
“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of Nyx. She made her feel right at home. She treats your pup as her own. Karen took Nyx on daily walks and sent frequent updates/ pictures. I highly recommend Karen and will use again.”
“Emily was fantastic! She took exceptional care of my dog during our overnight stay. I received updates/photos and knew my pup was in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
“Kathy has a really organized dog sitting space. Her backyard works well for my active dog. She is clear when she can and can't care for your pet and is straight-forward wait time works for her family. If something changes on her end she apologizes and always tries to be fair. Excellent boarder!”
“Kenny was an absolute delight to speak to from start to finish. We had spent months looking for an adequate sitter for the few days we’d be out of state and we found someone as passionate and caring as we were about our own fur family. Kenny updated us every day with photos and videos of our animals letting us know they were okay AND HAVING FUN! Our vacation could not have been as enjoyable as it was without Kenny and his wonderful deep love for animals. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found someone like him and he’ll be my pet sitter for as long as he’ll let me. If you’re looking and wondering if he’s the right person for you, I can assure you he is. Our 2 cats and 2 high maintenance German shepherds adore him and were very excited to see him as soon as he was in the same room as them. They came back very well groomed and very well taken care of and our pet’s attitude towards him reflected the amount of attention and care he gave them. We cannot thank you enough!”
“I will most certainly book with Chris again. He accepted a same day request and absolutely saved me from having to cancel my trip. He sent pictures the entire time and took such great care of my pup. She was so happy when she got home! Thank you Chris for everything!”
“Our first weekend trip away from our Stella girl and Diane was amazing. She sent pictures and kept me up to date on her the whole time ! Leaving me feeling so comfortable. Very pleased will use her again and definitely recommend”
“Patricia was very helpful as she helped take care of Toro during Easter weekend. It was only the second time we had left our beagle under somebody else’s care and it was a very good experience for both our dog and us. She walked Toro on a daily basis and played with him throughout the day. We appreciated her sending us videos and pictures of Toro during his stay as this made us even more sure he was in good hands. 100% recommended.”
“Jordan and Catherine were fantastic from.the start. We had a "meet and greet" at their house and our pups felt right at home. Jordan and Cathy sent pictures and updates everyday and if I mentioned how much I missed our gals, she would send pics. Jordan Cathy spoiled our pups....and we are thrilled. Thank you so much. You made our trip seem lighter, knowing that you took such good care of our girls.”
“Ann-Marie was very welcoming and gracious. It felt like I was leaving my dog with a family member. No doubt, I'll leave my dog with Ann-Marie again!”
“I am always anxious to leave my pup because she is anxious. But she had the best time!! Kelly is awesome and updated me with pictures and videos every day. I'll definitely use her again. Highly recommend.”
“Makaela is amazing! She took care of my girls and their special needs for a week, and I am so thankful that I found someone who cared for and treated them as her own. She updated me daily and sent me pictures throughout the day! She was also very patient with my oldest and kept up with their routines. I truly felt comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely reach out to her again whenever I need to leave my girls! 🥰🤍”
“This was a great first experience for me using Rover! I chose Sabrina because of her location and if I take a trip again she will automatically be the first one I contact again for future bookings. She kept me updated on Katsu multiple times a day and sent me pictures as well. Katsu can be a bit high energy and she worked great with him and told me she would like to have him over again. We've found our go-to dog sitter!”
“My pup was in great care with Carlson during her 4-night stay. Carlson kept me updated frequently and it made me comfortable knowing she has experience with animals and will take care of your pet with good judgment.”
“Anna took care of my Australian Shepherd, Maggie, for about a week. She is 2 years old and high energy and fit perfectly in Anna’s home. Anna has other dogs over and a back yard, so plenty of space to play. I look forward to boarding with her again!”

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
96% of sitters in Rio Medina 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 Rio Medina 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 Rio Medina.
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 Rio Medina. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 Rio Medina 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.
