“She is fantastic and Lew , had like a vacation time. I will recommend Rebecca to everyone who wants to be sure that his dog is going to enjoy and feel loved. Thanks Rebecca.”
“Amazing! Tisha showed care and understanding for our girls from the start. She was willing to bring her boys to our home so they could meet and see how things went. Our girls ( even our shyest one ) immediately warmed up to her. She sent us wonderful pictures of our girls throughout our trip to know they were safe. Our pups had a great time, very professional care , One of the best boarding experiences we have had.”
“Lynda was fantastic!! She accepted my booking with nearly no notice, and did a great job with my older dog, Leo. Her place has a great little fenced in area for dogs, and you can tell that she really cares about their well being and doing little things to make them more comfortable and happy during their stay with her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Reagan was amazing! My Stella is a bit weird and loves showing her teeth when playing or getting love which scares some people (she has never bitten anyone). However Reagan embraced it and sent many pictures and videos of my girl playing. Stella had so much fun and after the first day I was no longer worried about her and was able to just enjoy my vacation. Reagan would just send me pictures and videos without me asking and I absolutely loved that! 5⭐️'s”
“Cindy and her family are so amazing! I was updated multiple times a day! My dog looked extremely happy in every photo Cindy sent to me! I felt she went above and beyond to make my sweet girl💕 comfortable! Would definitely recommend using Cindy as your dog sitter!”
“If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and absolutely fantastic dog sitter, look no further! I recently left my 3 month old puppy with Jennifer S. and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she truly cares for animals. She took the time to learn about specific needs, and routines, which put my mind at ease right away. Throughout the stay, she provided regular updates, including photos about what my puppy had been up to—walks, playtime, and all the cuddles! It’s obvious that my puppy was well cared for and I think she was not happy to leave her new friends. Jennifer S. treats her clients’ pets as if they were her own, which is so reassuring. If you need someone who’s trustworthy, experienced, and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Jennifer S.”
“Reliable and very helpful and patient with our mini-yorkie when she had an anxiety attack. Would definitely call on Manuel if in his area again. Thanks Manuel!”
“Ozzy absolutely adored her, and it was clear she knew how to handle everything with care and attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or providing companionship, I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their individual needs and routines. I am a full-time college student during the fall and spring semesters and also work evening shifts at a local gym. Because of this, I carefully manage my schedule to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I am available for morning, midday, and weekend visits depending on my class and work schedule. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and will always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and ensure your pets receive the care, attention, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household rules. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care.

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.
97% of sitters in Rockport 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 Rockport 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 Rockport.
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 Rockport. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Rockport 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.
