“They were very responsive My dogs came home and slept for 2 days. Either they missed Loki so much or he put a spell on them 😂 It was an excellent experience with them.”
“Stella had an amazing stay!! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. Stella immediately made a new best friend, Millie. Loved they were able to play with each other throughout her stay! Rileigh and Jackson clearly adored Stella and made her feel comfortable and safe. They sent updates and photos, and Stella looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m very grateful and will absolutely book again!!”
“We left our long hair dachshund with Brenda for a little vacation, and she took excellent care of our girl! Brenda kept us up to date with pictures, and our dog warmed up to Brenda very quickly! We will certainly trust Brenda with our pup in the future!”
“Daniella is so kind and did an amazing job talking care of Loki! She is very attentive and gave great updates daily! Will definitely book with her again! I 100% recommend her for any dog boarding needs. She took Loki on a short notice and he had an absolute blast with her!”
“I contacted Megan VERY last minute after the original arrangement didn’t work. The original home we selected, the initial meet my CoCo was very anxious and wasn’t comfortable at all (she even growled at the male that lived in the home). I immediately knew I couldn’t leave her there, so I contacted Megan and she was very responsive and told me to bring her right over. As soon as she opened the door, my dog went right up to her a licked her hand. And was relaxed and comfortable in her home. While I was gone, I received videos and pictures frequently. My CoCo loved being with Megan and her daughter. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Our puppy (4 months) stayed with Brenda for a few days, during which she sent us lots of photos and videos, which definitely helped soothe our nerves about leaving! Brenda took great care of our dog, and I would 100% book her again.”
“Janet was so lovely! This was my first time using Rover as an owner instead of a sitter, and I knew my dog was in good hands based on Janet’s great communication - she was able to help us out in a pinch and pick our girl up from somewhere else while we were gone. From one sitter to another, I highly recommend Janet and am so thankful for her help!”
“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!!”
“Priscilla did an amazing job keeping our two hyper boxers! She kept me updated through out their visit on how they were doing and did whatever she could to make them feel comfortable as they adjusted to a new place! She sent pictures during their visit to us so we could check in on them and they were having so much fun and making themselves right at home! We will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
“Melissa and her husband could not have been more accommodating. And it was a nice surprise to get a message from Melissa about how the dogs were doing the first evening we were gone.”
“Took amazing care of my pet cat Bandit!!! Took a lot of photos and provided great updates, will definitely use him again if we ever go on another trip like this!! :)”
“Ms Rhonda is such a wonderful find! We’ve left our Ozzy with Ms Rhonda 3x now! Very accommodating and flexible with times. Ozzy comes home happy…he even just goes right in to Ms Rhonda’s house at drop off. 😅🥰 We have recommended Ms Rhonda to friends in the area, she is definitely a keeper! 🥰”
“Susan took very good care of my cat. She kept me informed throughout the week. My cat clearly enjoyed her "vacation". I will absolutely use Susan in the future. I highly recommend her. She does have her own dog. The dog is very well behaved and not at all aggressive. There were no interaction problems for my cat.”
“Ann was amazing!! My husband and I needed to board our baby for the first time but felt more comfortable finding an in-home pet sitter. We really appreciated Ann’s communication, especially the photos and videos of our boy having a great time. Thank you Ann 🤍”
“Excellent family to leave your dog. They not only took excellent care for Luna but they loved her all the time she was there. Luna was born deaf and at times can be a very nervous dog. Not only she relaxed the same day there but became friends with the other dogs in the house. I highly recommend Darren!”

We absolutely love LaRae! This is our third time trusting her with Winston, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares for him and treats him like family. She always keeps us updated, and it’s clear Winston is happy and cared for! We are so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our sweet boy!
Booked with Danielle and did not regret it. This is the first time we have left our little fur baby with someone since he was born. Danielle took very good care of our boy and treated him lile part of the family. He was taken for walks and had play and cuddle time every day. The communication and daily photos with updates definately put our minds at ease and was instrumental in the two of us actually getting to enjoy a trip away without having to worry. She treated our little guy with the love and attention as if we were there with him and that was priceless. Knowing we can spend time away and our fur baby is loved and cherished while we are gone is everything when you want to try to enjoy your own time away. I can't speak any more highly of the services Danielle gave or the freedom she has given us to enjoy ourselves knowing our little guy is in good hands. Do not sleep on this girl! She embodies the love you would want your little one to be surrounded by. We are so grateful. A must hire!
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!!!

There are 2,713 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in River Oaks. About 91% of River Oaks 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
