“Tatiana was absolutely amazing with Kosmo! ❤️ She kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure Kosmo felt comfortable, safe, and right at home. Knowing he was being loved and cared for so well allowed me to enjoy my time away without worrying about him. I truly appreciate her attentiveness, communication, and the care she showed Kosmo. I would absolutely recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat their fur baby like family. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Arianna is awesome. We've had a couple dozen different dog sitters in the several cities we've lived in and Arianna really stands out as especially caring, thoughtful and communicative. I think it was the first time our dog Piper hesitated about leaving to come home. haha. Anyway, highly recommend!”
“Sierra and Blayden were amazing with my boy Bentley. They provided such a warm and loving environment for him and were able to give me peace of mind while i was away! I will be using them again!”
“Kristen was amazing!! We went out of town for a few days, and communication was easy and so quick. She is caring and treated Lily with love and patience!! We highly recommend her services and will be booking again!! :)”
“Honestly I couldn’t be more pleased. I mean it when I say Jordyn is as good as it gets. My girls are a handful and she took care of them with ease. My girls were so happy when I picked them up and I could tell they were well taken care of and loved on. I will only be using Jordyn from now on because she’s just that good.”
“Jillian is the BEST cat-sitter we’ve ever had. My cats love her, she sends me updates daily (sometimes multiple times a day, it can never be too much), and she takes care of them so well. The first time I used Jillian’s services, my girl cat was prescribed a big capsule that other sitters struggled with giving her, and one sitter wouldn’t even try to give it to her. Jillian did so well with giving her the big capsule, and she was able to give her the smaller pill she was prescribed later too. Jillian is very friendly and easy to communicate with and reach when needed. She’s also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I used her services twice but wish I had found her earlier so she could’ve cat sat more. I highly recommend her! She will take great care of your pets.”
“Cecilia was so great with my anxious cat. She was accommodating to his needs. Additionally, she provided frequent photos and thorough updates during his 10-day stay. Her communication was superb. Would 100% recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. From training puppies, to grooming, to senior dogs who may need gentle care. I look forward to meeting your babies! I work full time, but it is a banking job so it’s very flexible. I can check on your animals every morning occasionally during my lunch, and also after work. I’m off by 4.

Our home would depend on the animal. We are open to going to homes as animals seem to do better in their own surroundings. This is an open conversation as everyone situation is unique.

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 Shallowater 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 Shallowater 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 Shallowater.
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 Shallowater. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Shallowater 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.
