“Jerin was amazing with my dog and took such great care of her. I was nervous to leave my dog so soon after moving because she’s very anxious, but Jerin made me feel so comfortable and sent updates every day. Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Wonderful & best dog mom! Has a room dedicated to the pups with toys, bedding & treats. Provides a daily walk and will stick to your baby’s care needs. Thank you, Carmen!”
“Alexis was great and very accommodating. She had issues with my dog having stomach problems and was very nice about it and took care of her and cleaned her up. She communicated a lot and responded quickly”
“Gabriela and her adorable family were perfect for our sweet Ellie. She treated Ellie as her own, sent me ample updates, and was such a breeze to work with. Our family will absolutely use her again!”
“I always ask our dog if he liked where he stays, well, at least I look to see how he reacts the next time we go there. The last time we went there our little dog couldn't wait to get out of the car to go inside to see his friends so I took this as a ***** for Mary.”
About: Experienced dog sitting all size dogs! Pitbulls, waimeraners, labs, wiener dogs etc. I love to go on walks and runs if possible! This past summer I consistently watched 4 dogs (from the same family) and had a great time! I frequently volunteer at the animal shelter but don’t have any pets of my own just yet! New to Fort Worth and looking forward to meeting you and your dog:) As of right now I am helping out at my boyfriends business but working from home- meaning I am available all day to take care of your pet whether at my home or coming to you. I live in a dog friendly apartment building along the trinity trails! These trails are perfect for dog walking and provide ample shade. The dog is welcome in all rooms of our place. At a clients home, I make sure to go over any guidelines with the owner to establish the rules and routines of their space- I only aim to help out never to impose!
“Travis took great care of my big fur baby! He sent pictures every couple of days and it was evident that my dog was having a great time. In the pictures he looked happy, calm, and relaxed. My dog also made good friends with his dog so he had a playmate and was kept entertained. It really was like sending my dog to summer camp!”
“Anabel is so friendly, polite and patient! From the meet and greet to our 2 week boarding stay she has made us feel comfortable and confident that our baby Kira will be taken care of professionally and like family. Will continue to book with Anabel for future boarding needs”
“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.”
About: ⸻ I have 5 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs and cats. I truly love animals and treat them like family. I can handle energetic puppies, playful cats, and older pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals every day as long as I’m not in class. I am flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and care throughout the week. I always focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while in their own home. I carefully follow feeding and care instructions, keep things clean, and give plenty of love and attention so owners can feel at ease.
“We had such a wonderful experience with this pet sitting family! It’s clear they truly love and care for dogs like their own. They kept us updated with daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their youngest daughter was especially sweet and shared the cutest stories about all the adventures she had with our pup. It meant a lot to know our dog was not just being watched, but genuinely loved and having fun. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”
“Valerie and her family were great and so sweet! She kept me updated with pictures and let me know how he was doing during his first day with them, it was able to get him in with last-minute notice.. They seem to really love animals and he had a great time!”
“We had Claire watch our cat for 3 days and she did a great job making him feel comfortable and even gave him his own room. She sent pictures and let us know how he was doing. We will definitely use Claire again if we need care for Midnight in the future.”
About: I grew up in a household with dogs and currently have two of my own, it never gets old taking care of sweet pets! I love meeting new animals and happy to be able to take care of yours. I work a very flexible schedule where I can work remote if needed and I have every Friday off so your pets will get plenty of attention I love to keep pets engaged and active if they have the energy for it! Playing out in the yard or with some toys inside is always a blast.
“Sam was great with boarding our Goldendoodle for a week while we were out of town! We loved getting updates and pictures of him having fun with Theo. She was very communicative and took great care of our boy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future!”

Daniella was able to take my kitty with very short notice and she did such a fantastic job :) My kitten was one week post spay when I dropped her off and she did great checking on her incision and making sure she wasn’t being too active. I can’t stress enough how kind and accommodating Daniella is, and she’ll definitely be my go-to sitter in the future.
Super pleased and at ease while away from my fur baby. Communication was great with frequent updates and pictures. It’s great knowing someone cared for my dog like he was their own. This will always be my husky babies home away from home! I’m sure he misses them already! 10/10
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 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!
Kenna was great! She was super responsive, sent regular photo updates, and had patience for our two very differently-temperamented cats. She also was very flexible with us with our schedule changes even though we were a last-minute booking. Great job, would recommend!

There are 2,667 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
