“We left our two dogs with Savannah and Gabriel for over a week and had a great experience. We received daily updates on how well they were doing. They’re very responsive and I felt confident with them from the jump. We’ll be using them again!”
“Angie was amazing to our boy Finn. They really loved him while we were on an extended trip. Angie was great at sending pictures of Finn and he really settled in with their family. We would definitely stay with Angie and her family again, and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Maura and Shawn were fantastic! We left our golden retriever, Cooper, with them over Thanksgiving and they took really great care of our pup. He's nearly four years old and can still be a handful, but they were very patient and caring and gave him plenty of playtime and walks. They also send numerous photo updates, which we really appreciated. Very responsive to our inquiries and logistical issues (drop off and pick up times), and the communication was easy and friendly. I would absolutely leave Cooper with Maura and Shawn next time we leave town!”
“Rachel watched Lacy for us while we were at a family wedding and we felt so at ease! Her home was welcoming and she sent us frequent updates and videos of Lacy enjoying lots of playtime. I know Lacy is looking forward to her next stay with Rachel and her family!”
“Mike always takes such great care of our pup, Rip. Rip can be reactive and high maintenance at times, but Mike handles him so well with patience and care. He makes sure Rip gets plenty of exercise with long walks and endless games of fetch. Rip absolutely loves his time with him!”
“Michelle was fantastic with our girl Lily. Highly recommend her to take great care of your little one. Traveling for work for the week and never worried that my little one wasn’t taken care of. She sent updates and pics and had excellent communication. I couldn’t ask for anything more to feel secure with leaving my furry family member for the week. Her dog is super sweet too!”
“Emma took such wonderful care of our Bruno for a week! He had several dogs to play with and she exercised him multiple times a day, including trail walks. She sent more photos than I expected and was super responsive. Thank you, Emma! We will definitely book you again!”
“Christopher is just amazing. Our dog did not want to leave his place. During Eva’s stay with him, he was replying to me right away, he was sending me Pictures and videos. My dog was super happy. Our flight was delayed and Christopher agreed to keep Eva for an extra night which was really nice. The communication was great. Thank you Christopher for you help.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Over the past year, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience dog sitting and caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. From daily walks and playtime to meals, medications, cuddles, and overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I love getting to know each dog individually and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether we’re out exploring, relaxing at home, or simply enjoying some extra attention, I’m happiest when I’m spending time with dogs. My goal is always for both the pups and their parents to feel happy, comfortable, and confident that they’re in good hands. I currently work a full-time job, so I’m typically away from home from 7-3 Monday through Thursday and home on Fridays and weekends. That said, I always make sure my pups are a priority and receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an 11-year-old dog named Maya who is friendly and would be happy to keep your pets company during their stay.
“Amber was the best dog sitter we have had to date! She took such great care of our high energy dog and was so flexible with our changing travel plans. She will be my go -to dog sitter from now on.”
“Ashley and her family took such amazing care of Momo. She took cute pictures and sent me updates throughout the day which made me feel at peace. I could tell Momo had a great time at Ashley’s. He went for walks as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will reach out to take care of Momo again!”
“Marissa was a wonderful host to my girl. I get frequent updates, pictures, and videos of my pup playing and looking happy as a clam. I felt very fortunate to have had such an awesome sitter for my dog and peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely recommend Marissa for a short or long term stay!”
“Madelyn was amazing and my dog, Chicken had so much fun during her time there. Madelyn is super accommodating and constantly communicates throughout the whole stay. I got plenty of pictures of my pup having the best time and getting the best snuggles. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
“Jared was wonderful with my 6month old puppy! He was so loving to him. He sent me lots of photos and updates which made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with him. Teddy had a great time and I will definitely use Jared again!”
“Alison was awesome! She took him on walks, played with him incessantly and sent lots of pictures. Super easy to communicate with and flexible. Our dog Max came home so happy! Would 100% recommend :)”
About: With 30+ years as both an owner and caretaker, I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, so I'm comfortable handling whatever your pup's quirks or needs might be. I am especially good with senior dogs who need extra snuggles. Because I work from home, dogs here are almost never alone: we're roaming the house and yard together most of the day, with plenty of outdoor time built in naturally rather than scheduled bathroom breaks. Furniture, couch cuddles, and a genuinely cozy home are all part of the package. My own dog, Birdy, is a big, social 7-year-old who loves catch and tug-of-war, and having a resident dog who's socialized helps new dogs settle in fast. Most guest dogs are playing with him within the first day. I also always set up a short meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone starts off comfortable. What sets me apart is simple: your dog becomes part of a real, active household, not just a guest in a kennel. If you're looking for a place where your dog gets treated like family with a comfy home, a big backyard, and a friendly canine companion, I'd love to meet you both! Pet care isn't squeezed into my routine, it is my routine. I work from home, so dogs are woven into my entire day: mornings outside, walks, playtime, quiet afternoons while I work nearby, and evenings winding down together on the sofa. There's no juggling a job outside the home or rushing back for breaks; I'm simply here, mostly all day, every day, with time built in naturally for whatever the dogs need. Your dog's safety is my top priority. My yard is large and fully fenced with a 4-foot chain link perimeter, so there's secure room to run and play. I work from home, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and almost always have someone nearby. I require all dogs to be spayed/neutered with current shot records, and I don't board dogs with aggression issues. No exceptions for the safety of everyone. Every new dog starts with a short meet-and-greet with my own dog, Birdy, so we can make sure it's a good match before any stay begins. My home is smoke-free and set up to feel comfortable and familiar, not clinical. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and treated like part of the family from day one.
“Autumn and Matt were amazing and have taken great care of Buddy. We got everyday updates, this shows how much they love what they do. I think Buddy is missing them than seeing us..😀 will definitely take him back there.”
“Ziggy loved his stay Amane & her husband. They took him on lots of walks, and adventures in town. There happened to be another dog there and Ziggy seemed to enjoy having another dog to play with. Amane sent photos & detailed notes each day, which we appreciated. Ziggy was so calm when we picked him up. I think he truly enjoyed his stay! I highly recommend Amane and will book again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shady Hollow
Doug was awesome! I have moved her from Austin alittle over a year ago and have not left my dog with anyone since I have moved here. It was so nice to have someone who I trust take care of my guy while I was out of town for a few days. He sent videos and Photos and always asked questions if he wasn’t sure if he couldn’t have treats. He is really a great caregiver and I plan on using him again! Really appreciate him!
Morgan is a great Rover and a great person. She watched out two pups for three days and it went smoothly and without any issues. Her dog gets along with other dogs and her fenced backyard is excellent for dogs to run and play. I strongly recommend Morgan and we'll use her again!
Christina & John were excellent hosts for our dog, Maya! I think she had so much fun she won’t want to come home! They are super friendly and have a nice home. You can tell they really care for all dogs and enjoyed taking care of our Maya. We would love to use them again one day!
10 stars if I could!! All my concerns about boarding were gone within 5 minutes of meeting Monique. She was so so good with our anxious little Yorkie Martini. She showed us her problem solving skills and communicated the entire time. We could not of asked for a better experience from drop-off to pickup.
Emma watched my dogs for the first time last week, and overall, I was really happy with the experience! She was flexible with pickup and drop-off times, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made sure the dogs got plenty of exercise. She went the extra mile taking care of Twiggy, my brand new adoptee. We can't wait to go back.
Ash and her daughter were absolutely amazing with Lucy! 🐾💕 I’m so grateful they were able to accommodate us on such short notice, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Lucy in their care. They were both so sweet and communicative, and I got lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, which I really appreciated! Their dogs are also SO sweet, and I loved that Lucy had some buddies to hang out and play with while she was there. I could tell from the photos and updates that she got comfortable really quickly and was genuinely happy and having such a good time. They really took such great care of her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was somewhere safe, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. They have such a great place for the dogs, and the whole experience was wonderful. I’m especially grateful that they were willing to take her on such a last-minute booking! I would absolutely book with Ash again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly feel good about leaving their baby with.
I highly recommend Andrea! She took such great care of Canek. He is a Xoloitzcuintle who is usually very cautious and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but with Andrea, it was completely different right from the start. During our first meet-and-greet, Canek felt comfortable immediately—he allowed her to pet him and even let her hold his cheeks, which is a huge breakthrough for him. When we left him in her care a week later, everything went amazingly well. He walked great on his leash and even fell asleep right next to her. We whole-heartedly recommend Andrea for her exceptional care, patience, and the incredible empathy she shows toward both fur babies and their owners. Without a doubt, she is our go-to person of total trust for all our future trips. Thank you so much for everything, Andrea!

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 Shady Hollow 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 Shady Hollow.
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.
You and your Shady Hollow 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.
