“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!”
“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!”

About: I've personally had several dogs as a teenager and as an adult. Friends asked me to sit their dogs because of my natural rapport skills. I'm retired and mostly at home. This gives me time to spend and care for my furry friends, including frequent potty breaks and daily walks. I have a newly fenced yard and a single story home. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks and a nearby park. I greet dogs with love.
“Amazing care for our beloved pug, Betty! This was our first time leaving her and Olivia was amazing with daily updates and it is clear she had a great time and was loved. Will definitely use them again!”
“Nestor was wonderful! I am a bit of a worrier, but he did an amazing job of communicating how the dogs were doing each day, sent lots of photos and videos, and was quick to respond. So happy we found him, and already have another stay booked with him!”
“AAA+..Highly recommend if you want your furry pal watched by someone truely caring, attenative and most importantly trustworthy. Sarah accommodated my boy Bleu and I's needs (last minute booking), sent me pics and updates throughout the trip and my pup came back happier than ever. Would definitely go with Sarah again!”

You can trust me to show up with integrity and compassion for your precious fur-baby. I know how important it is to trust the person that you are leaving your angel with and I can promise to be professional and gentle with your baby. Right now I have a very flexible schedule daily in this season of my life and I'm excited to spend time with your sweet pet! I prioritize communication, integrity, and compassion. I will make sure that your pet is not just tolerated but truly loved on and cared for with the utmost respect. I will play with them, walk them in a timely schedule, and monitor their health and feeding needs. You can trust me to give them my full attention and love.
About: A safe, loving, and fun home away from home for your pup! My home is full of love for dogs and all their unique personalities. I have two dogs of my own—Oreo (4) and Wylie (2)—who are friendly, well-socialized, and comfortable around dogs of all sizes. They love to play, but they’re also great at entertaining each other if your pup prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment. With plenty of free time during the day, I’m able to provide lots of attention, care, walks, and companionship to make sure your dog feels comfortable and happy. I treat every dog like family and am committed to providing reliable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pup has a specific routine, training schedule, or special instructions, I’m happy to follow it closely to help them feel safe and consistent while you’re away. When your dog stays with me, it’s like visiting their fun uncle and cousins—full of love, playtime, and comfort—so they come home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I also provide daily photo and video updates, and I’m always available if you’d like to check in for extra peace of mind! Since I have plenty of free time during the day, I’m able to structure my schedule around the dogs in my care. My days typically include regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and lots of attention and supervision. I live in an apartment that offers plenty of space for pups to play, relax, and enjoy lots of love and cuddles. My home is fully stocked with toys, healthy treats, and potty pads if needed to help your dog feel comfortable and cared for. I keep my home clean, safe, and secure at all times, making sure pets don’t have access to anything harmful. I’m very attentive to each dog’s unique needs and make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, multiple walks throughout the day, and personalized care. I’m also fortunate to have easy access to great walking trails in my neighborhood, which makes for fun sniffing adventures, exercise, and enriching outdoor time for your pup!
“Christina and Tyler were great. They sent daily pics and it seemed like my dog was having a great and relaxing time with them! Will definitely use again.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my fur baby while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I especially appreciated the pictures and updates she shared, which gave me peace of mind knowing my baby was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It's clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. I would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Chuck is a superstar. We had a challenging stressful trip, but thinking about our pet Percy is one thing we’ve never had to worry about. He’s so kind and funny and he gave a ton of comfort. He took care of our pup like his own and we couldn’t ask for a better person. You rock Chuck.”

Keri was an absolutely amazing sitter for my two dogs, Louie and Leia! I could tell they were so, so happy with her and her husband and felt incredibly loved and cared for, especially while I was away on a longer trip. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I would 1000% recommend Keri and will absolutely be booking with her again. Louie and Leia definitely agree! ❤️
Emma was great with Boudreaux while we were in Maui! I really appreciated getting daily pictures of him and seeing how he was doing. She took him on plenty of walks and even off-leash hikes, which he loves and is used to doing with me. He came home clean and happy, and I could tell he was well taken care of. I’d definitely have Emma watch him again!
Morgan was so wonderful! I could tell my pups were comfortable with her and her husband from the beginning, and she was so good about sending photos and updates twice a day. One of my pups had an urgent medical issue come up unexpectedly and Morgan was super on top of it, reached out immediately to me so I could decide how to handle, and took her into the ER vet (of course it was Sunday). Pup is completely fine now and I felt really confident that she was taking good care of my dog, which is saying something when you’re far away and panicking bc one of your girls is having an issue. I will 100% work with her again! Definitely recommend.
I cannot recommend her enough! She truly went above and beyond to understand our dog’s unique needs and personality. Our boy can be quite challenging, and it takes a special kind of person to earn his trust. Instead of giving up on him, she showed incredible patience, kindness, and dedication to making him feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. What meant the most to us was knowing that she genuinely cared about his well-being. She took the time to get to know him and work through his challenges rather than seeing them as a problem. Throughout our vacation, she provided daily updates and pictures that gave us so much peace of mind. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our time away, knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Finding someone you can trust with your fur baby isn’t always easy, especially when he requires extra patience and understanding. We are beyond grateful for the love and care she gave him. She treated him like family, and that means the world to us. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter!
Tasha is awesome! Our dogs loved staying at her place, she took such great care of them. Our younger dog played with hers and our older one was cozy and chill on the couch. She made sure to give him his meds, walked them both, and gave plenty of love. Thank you for the amazing care of our loved ones 💜
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!
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!

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.
96% of sitters in Shady Hollow 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 Shady Hollow 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shady Hollow. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 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.
