“We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She is very communicative and our pup had the best time (we could tell from all the pics we were sent)! Definitely recommend Layla watching your dog :)”
“Olivia is hands down the best sitter I have ever had for my pup. I have tried several people in the past, but no one has matched her level of genuine care and attention to detail. My pup Winston can be a bit shy, but he was immediately comfortable with her, which was a huge relief. He also has a very specific feeding routine that Olivia handled perfectly. She is incredibly responsive and sends THE BEST photo updates, so I was never left wondering how things were going. My dog whined and refused to leave when I got him, which has literally never happened before. If you want total peace of mind, book with Olivia. I will absolutely be using her again!”
“Sarah was so amazing!!! She wore my very energetic puppy out and took excellent care of him! She was so nice and sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout the day! I loved that she even worked on some training with my puppy!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Destiny, and once again, she was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Our dog, who can be very anxious at first, really warmed up to her nicely — it's clear she has a natural way with animals. I'm so grateful for the care and attention she provides. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and couldn’t have picked a better person to watch our almost 2 year old pup. I am crazy about my dog and was hesitant to even do Rover but I am so happy we did. Monica offered to meet us before we committed which I really appreciated. She was great at staying in touch, giving updates, and sending pictures. We could tell our dog was very well cared for while we were out of town. She even gave our girl a goodie bag with treats when we picked her up. Highly recommend and trust Monica! Coco can’t wait for us to leave town again :)”
About: Your dog’s adventure buddy while you’re away. Long walks, playtime, cuddles, and dependable care tailored to your pup’s unique personality. I’m here to make your puppers feel safe and be a home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a pet owner myself. I plan my schedule around providing consistent care, exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or check-ins throughout the day, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, plus access to a dog park and Trinity River trails for exercise and enrichment. I follow each baby boy or girl’s routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep owners updated with photos throughout their stay.
“Nick and Ashley were great taking care of our dog. I think he loved having a dog about his size to play with. They sent pictures so we knew he was safe and happy. We would definitely love to leave him with them again. We 100% recommend leaving your dog here.”
“Sabri and her great family has done a fantastic job taking care of my 9 months old puppy. She provided me daily updates with photos and videos so I had no worries about my puppy. My dog was well fed and excecised and healthy and happy as always. I would definitely go back to them if I need to board my puppy again and strongly recommend Sabri to anyone else”
“First time using rover and our experience with Ms. Nancy and her husband was AMAZING!!! We would get responses really quickly, photos and videos of Ace having the time of his life! Will definitely book with Nancy again and highly recommend!”
“I cannot even put into words how thankful I am for Alyssa’s care. I needed a sitter last minute for my cat, due to an emergency fix situation in my home, and she was responsive, available, and picked up/dropped off for me which made the entire ordeal so much more manageable. She was communicative and sweet through the entire process and I am just so appreciative. Will definitely rebook in the future ❤️”
“Mary & Robert took great care of my baby! Received instant replies when I reached out to them & they were so accommodating to drop off & pick up. Will be contacting them in the future!”
“Jonathan is awesome! We were so happy that Jacks got to stay with him for 10 days. Jonathan took exceptional care of Jacks. He sent pics every day. Best of all were the videos showing Jacks running around and playing while Jonathan spoke about how he was doing. Jacks had a great time and is looking forward to his next stay.”
“We greatly appreciate the updates, and our pom is calm both when we drop her off and pick her up. Kathleen is the sitter she is most comfortable with. We relax knowing she's in good hands!”
“She did an amazing job at making me and Biggie feel comfortable. She was very loving with Biggie and frequently sent pictures updating his stay and showing how he was settling in. I would definitely recommend”
“Victoria was an awesome sitter for Skippy..Skippy was pampered and spoiled and all our concerns about Skippy she handled very well. Love to choose Victoria again for watching Skippy.”
“Shanna was hands down the best sitter I have ever used for my dogs. She has the perfect home for dogs to sprawl out and run around. The level of professionalism was incredible and I have quite literally never seen both my dogs so happy. Little Basil didn’t want to come home! I would and will recommend her to anyone I know who needs a quality dog sitter who really cares. I can not wait to have her watch my babies again soon!”
“Jennifer was great to work with from our first communication! Prompt in communication and answering questions. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her! She sent pictures and updates. I knew my dog was having a wonderful time and she looked so happy. Jennifer went above and beyond to make her feel at home. I highly recommend and will certain ask again!”
“Lainey was wonderful with my senior dog, Petie. She sent regular updates and photos, and I could tell he was at ease. When I picked him up, he was all smiles. I would highly recommend Lainey to watch anyone’s little love while they are away. Thank you again, Lainey, for taking such good care of my little guy while I was out of town!!”
“She always takes such great care of my willow, I have nothing but faith. So many photos and updates constantly and I know my dog loves her! 10/10 recommend for anyone!”
“Dani was an amazing dog sitter with Dune, per usual. She sent a bunch of pics and updates about our pup, was flexible and reliable. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!”
River Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with LaRae! She went completely above and beyond, was incredibly flexible, and treated Winston like her own. She even got him a sweet present for his gotcha day, which was so thoughtful and meant a lot to us. We got plenty of updates and could tell Winston was so happy and well cared for the entire time. We will absolutely be using LaRae again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I reached out to her in a bit of a panic needing last-minute care for my dog Willow, and she said yes without hesitation. That alone was a huge relief, but what really stood out was how she kept me in the loop the entire time — regular updates, photos, the works. You could just tell Willow was comfortable and genuinely well looked after, not just tolerated. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your pup and won’t leave you anxiously checking your phone all day, Olivia is your person. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
OBESSEDDDD. Scooty Booty had the best time staying with Sierra and Liam! They were so responsive and their property is every dogs dream. They sent videos and pictures often and are so nice in person as well. I actually feel a little guilty for sending my dog to a kennel all this time when he could've been enjoying a big back yard and some 24/7 TLC this whole time!!!
Danielle took great care of Mochi! We stopped using kennels because we could see the trauma it was causing her when she returned to us. I’m so glad that Danielle treated her like family, and she returned to us tired from a fun week, happy, and calm! Thanks so much!! :)
Jayline was incredible! She took such good care of my dog Winston and sent lots of updates with pictures/videos that were very appreciated. She was very flexible with pickup times and even accompanied a late pick up. She put up with my dogs tummy issues and gave him medicine. We will definitely book again!
Lily took such great care of our baby boy. We were traveling out of state and were getting lots of updates and pictures of him throughout his stay. We’re blessed to have found her and cannot thank her enough for allowing us to go on this trip with peace and calmness knowing our Draco was safe and having a great time❤️
