“Esequias and Lisa are wonderful. Our fur baby is 3 years old and had never been with anyone but us. They alleviated any fears we had. Esequias came to our house to meet us and Hook, then we dropped him at their house for a few hours to see how he would adjust. They even picked him up when it was time for us to leave on our trip. They sent pics while we were gone. They treated him like one of their own. I will definitely be booking with them again.”

“This was our first time with Barbara and she was very welcoming and she has a nice home for visiting dogs. Snooki had a good time and did well. We will definitely use Barbara again.”
“I am a basket case when it comes to leaving my dogs for vacation because I don't trust anyone to pet sit in my house or feel assured that they would take care of my dogs the way I would. I'm a big believer that pets are members of the family. Their comfort, their health, and minimizing their level of stress are important to my wife and I. In the past, whenever I make reservations for vacation, I expect them to be with my kids and NEVER IN A KENNEL OR FACILITY with other stressed out barking dogs. They are my babies!!! You know what I mean. Recently, we visited my daughter at her college dorm where dogs aren't allowed and I was distraught. Hence, this review. I need to give a big SHOUT OUT to Mary's pet services because MARY IS AMAZING. My dogs are welcomed into her home, an environment with a professional handler (i.e. Mary) plus interactive kids who love the dogs! I couldn't be happier leaving my babies with them again and at short notice. Also, the price was reasonable. Another rocking 5 stars for Mary's pet service. Under Mary's care, my pets were not only safe, but my mind was at ease (especially with my 17 yearly grandma dog). Priceless.”
“Isaac was amazing! He was very responsive and sent pictures of our pup throughout our trip. He played with him often and even took him on walks. We even had some flight issues and he was very reassuring and flexible with us. Our dog had such an amazing time and came back one sleepy, happy boy! Will definitely be working with them again!”
“This was Pepper's very first stay away from home (she's only 18 months old) and as you may imagine, we had concerns about how things would go. Pepper's "boarding mom", Jessica, has a puppy of her own, Penny, and it is clear that Pepper and Penny became fast friends. Jessica shared pictures and updates with us daily letting us know how things were going which was a big comfort. We plan on taking another trip in the next few weeks and have no concerns with having Pepper stay over with Jessica again.”
“Our fur baby was so well taken care of by Courtney. He was very happy when we picked him up. I highly recommend her if you want your baby loved by a compassionate young lady! I will definitely request Courtney in the future♥️”

“I booked Emma two days before my trip and was a little nervous about how everything would go, but she made the whole process so smooth. My dog doesn’t usually stay anywhere other than at home with me, but with all the pictures Emma sent me every day, I could see how comfortable my dog was and how well she was being treated. I fully recommend Emma and will definitely book with her again!”
“This Family took very good care of my dog. Response time was very good. They kept us well informed on how my dog was doing and also sent photos. I was very pleased and have no complaints.i would definitely use them again .Thankyou”

However I have weekends free and I work from home every day. I will have plenty of time to care for pets on any day as I make my own schedule. I will have plenty of time to take the dog/dogs to the dog park or play with them . I also love cats and my dog is used to other dogs and cats so your kitty is welcome as well. As long as I have your instructions on how you would like your fur baby to be cared for I will be able to accommodate nearly any request, within reason.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Runaway Bay home-away-from-home, 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 Runaway Bay.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Runaway Bay 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 , 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 .
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.
