“Mya was able to accommodate my last minute day care request with no issue. She took great care of Chewie and sent me photos throughout the day. Definitely recommend booking with her :)”

“We had a last minute change of plans and Kathleen was more than accommodating. She scheduled an impromptu meet and greet where she gave us a full tour of her home and backyard and she asked questions about Gizmo ! Today’s visit was perfect . Drop off was flawless , we got general pictures and updates and Gizmo was super excited at pickup ! We will definitely be back !”

About: I have many years of experience as a dog walker and sitter. I have two dogs: a chihuahua named Minnie, and a corgi mix named Stubbs. They’re both very friendly and well trained. I’m a huge dog lover- every time I see one in public I have to pet them. I grew up with dogs and I’ve never not had one. My dogs are part of the family, and they’re very spoiled. I have a house with a big .25 acre fenced in backyard with plenty of shade and a dog door which can be closed. I have several tennis balls and other toys, and I love to go for dog walks around the neighborhood & to the dog park. Your fur babies will get plenty of love, attention and cuddles with me! I work from home, so I’m fully dedicated to taking care of your pups! I will make sure they are treated just like my own, and get plenty of walks and playtime. I offer free pickup & drop off as well! I have a large .25 acre fenced yard that is perfect for playing fetch, and two friendly dogs for your pups to play & cuddle with! I always have lots of toys around, and dogs are always welcome on the couch & bed.

“Ernest accepted a last-minute booking for Mylo and did an outstanding job. From the moment we met him, it was clear how attentive and observant he is. He quickly picked up on Mylo’s personality and routine, noting that he’s less interested in constant play and prefers to relax, nap, and simply hang out during the day—which is absolutely accurate. We were especially impressed by the little details. Mylo finished all of his food while in Ernest’s care, and Ernest kept us updated throughout the stay. What stood out most was how gently he handled Mylo when he was hesitant about being separated from us. Instead of pulling or dragging him along, Ernest calmly picked him up and made the transition as stress-free as possible. Moments like that show someone who genuinely enjoys and cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mylo with Ernest and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”
“Monica made me feel as though Rosie was in competent hands from the moment I dropped her off. Rosie is very shy and nervous, but Monica was not phased at all. She seemed very comfortable taking charge of Rosie so I could enjoy my day at the ballgame. I got numerous updates throughout the day of Rosie playing in the yard. We will definitely use Monica again when we need a sitter in the future. Thank you, Monica!”

Mya did such an amazing job as always with my Mina! We usually have a daycare during the workweek that Mina goes too but they were closed for the holiday. I had to be at work in 30 minutes & reached out to Mya. Mya was an hour and 30 minutes away from my home and without question drove over to go pick her up from my house. Her dedication to taking care of animals is unmatched & we’re so happy to have her as our sitter🩷

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your River Oaks commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,990 sitters in River Oaks, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
