“My wife and I left our 2 pups with Emily for 5 days as we had an unexpected death in our family! They took in our pups like their own and loved on them just like they were at home. The daily pictures and messages gave us a good piece of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using Emily again in the future.”
“As a person who's never used a boarding service of any kind I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didnt know personally but Lesly did a great job at letting me know anything that was going on with my dog. She sent pictures/video to let me know he was doing good and to see that he was happy where he was staying. Even by the end of the stay she even gave my wife and I some advice regarding Kumas personal issues which was a plus for me. It let's you know she has experience around dogs that can be a bit more challenging to raise and knows how to direct the issue. I highly recommend using Lesly and to not be worried if you've never used a boarding service before like me. In the end everything was very smooth and my baby came back to me as happy as when I left him.”
“I could not explain how wonderful ashley/family was with my baby Kaiser. He is a ball of energy. She welcomed him into her home and I was like Wow she spoiled him lol. I loved all the pictures that she sent to me of my Weimaraner. And the fun he was having. I would pick Ashley every time. I highly recommend Ashley and her family to anyone. Thanks again. I will be on returning and hoping to work with her/ family again.”
“Christina‘s passion for dogs is evident when you first meet her. Her house is set up to accommodate the dogs. She has a kitty pool for them to play in their backyard. She takes them on walks twice a day and is very loving towards the dogs. She effectively communicated the entire time we were out of town sending pictures and updates. I would very much consider using her again.”
“Very responsive and sent lots of pictures. My flight waa delayed and put me getting in very late but she was willing to work with me to have my dog stay another night. Plenty of space for the dog to run around. Definitely reccomend.”
“Our dogs aren't used to being away from us so we are always anxious about leaving them with a new sitter. They loved Gabriela and Alejandro. They were so happy and relaxed when we picked them up. They were not the least bit stressed and acted right at home. We also received daily pics and updates. We would definitely use Gabriela and Alejandro again!”
“Hannah and her family took great care of Kiara. They showed her lots of love, kept us updated with excellent communication, and sent plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Kiara looked happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We would definitely trust Hannah with her again!”
“Wendy was THE absolute best!! She was very kind and accommodating!! I had complications happen with my move and at the last minute, she didn’t hesitate to keep my babies an extra day!! I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Wendy!! And, while I don’t often have a need, any time I do, she’s who I will go to 💕”
“Sadie looked like she had a great time at Chanisy’s. Thankfully she was able to watch our girl last minute while we went out of town. She kept us updated and sent us pictures while we were away. Thank you Chanisy!”
“Alexandra was amazing! Great communication before, during and after our pups stay. She sent pictures, sent updates and pampered our little girl. Will absolutely use her again when we need a sitter for our fur baby in the future.”
“Carol & Ken took great care of our terrier mix over a long weekend! They were very responsive and provided frequent photo & video updates. Alea, a very shy dog by nature, had a great time and got a chance to socialize and play with Mulligan (their sociable dog) and other small dogs that they were hosting at the time. We will definetely use them again in the future!”
“Svetlana took excellent care of Dexter during his two-week stay. Communication was great from start to finish, and she consistently sent detailed updates, photos, and videos every day, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while traveling. It was clear Dexter was very comfortable and happy in her care. She paid close attention to his routines, walks, eating habits, and even adapted really well to communicating with him using hand signals since he is deaf. We especially appreciated how observant and thoughtful she was about his comfort, behavior, and exercise. Dexter clearly bonded with her family and PomPom, and it genuinely felt like he was staying in a caring home environment rather than just being boarded. We would absolutely book with Svetlana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”
“Awesome family to watch your pups. Super communicative, friendly and really have such a love for dogs. We’ve used them multiple times and just love them.”
“I couldn’t have asked for better people to watch over Barbie! 🐶💕 They were the absolute sweetest and took such great care of her while I was away. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures they sent me. 🥹 It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and being loved on.🥰 I would definitely book again!!”
“Kristina had been Red’s sitter since he was 3 months old, and she’s been caring for him for 2 years now. Since the start, she had been always very caring and loving to Red that’s why, Red is always happy and excited every time we’re going to leave him there. Kristina is someone who you can entrust your fur babies and not having to worry about them for days, even for weeks (when you’re going on vacation). She treats all the dogs like hers, and will always go above and beyond.”
“Esteban and Alana took great care of our furred babies. They provided frequent updates and shared many pics showing what a great time they had. Their yard is massive so plenty of room to run and enjoy ☺️”
“The best dog companion that you can trust! Took great care of my great dane and bully for 20+ days. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and the treatment he gave them. We will be booking him again.”

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 Security 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 Security.
<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 Security 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.
