“We used Victoria for the first time and were beyond satisfied with her services. She sent pictures daily and even updated us when our pup had a minor injury that she tended to herself. We were able to enjoy our time out of town knowing our pup was being well taken care of.”
“Delaney was awesome! She took care of my Boston Terrier, Mollie, while I was out of town. She was very conscientious about the care she provided. She took Mollie for walks, played with her, and fed her per instructions I left. She texted me photos & updates and gave me a summary when I picked up Mollie. It was very clear that Delaney LOVES dogs.”
About: I am reliable and routine based. I will ensure the babies are fed,walked,bathed and receive the most love while in my care. Communication is very important to me and memories so I ensure that you will get FaceTime calls with the babies along with photos and videos and even some arts and crafts! I currently work from home so they furr babies will not be left alone. I have an SUV so car rides will be included if owner approved. I live in a two story loft apartment. It is Square Apartments ; so there is a beautiful walking trail on the complex and I also have a play area for the dogs inside of my home. Nap time is crucial so after play time I do play relaxing instrumentals to lounge and decompress. Rubs are a given and lots of hugs.
“I was nervous leaving my dog with a sitter because I had never left him with anybody before and wasn’t sure how his behavior would be. Shawna did a fantastic job keeping him for me. He was with her for four nights and she sent me photos and updates on how he was doing. I never had to worry about him because I knew he was safe and taken care of. I highly recommend Shawna and will be a repeat customer when needed!”
“We had Kaitlyn board our dogs for a second time, and she took good care of our dogs again. Amazingly, she is not the least phased by our large, rambunctious Rottweiler 😊 I recommend her if you ever need someone to help take care of your fur babies. She is great about sending updates and pictures.”
“She was wonderful with my pups! I loved seeing pictures throughout my trip away and getting updates on her activity, diet, and overall energy. I will be booking again in the future”
“Jennifer was amazing with my dog! As was her whole family! Harley can be very shy and alittle feisty sometimes towards people she doesn’t know but the moment I brought her over she was so comfortable with Jennifer and that’s a huge positive when your dog is automatically comfortable with someone also imo! Jennifer updated us daily with texts or pics and the whole experience was just a pleasure overall!! I would definitely recommend this home for any and all pet sitting needs and if I ever need someone to watch Harley again, Jennifer will be the first person I book with! Thank you guys again!!! I appreciate you so much!”
“Jordyn did an excellent job taking care of our dogs! She loved them like her own. She sent me pictures and videos of the dogs throughout their stay, keeping me up-to-date on how they were doing. We will definitely be asking Jordyn again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Very professional and nice. The only issue would be if you don't want your dog to love her more than you. Nami has been moping and missing her since she got home. :D Already re-booking our next stay with her!”
“Amelia was amazing and I am so thankful I found her on Rover to take care of my girls. She was very caring and asked all the details of their care before the visit as well as at drop off. She sent me tons of pictures and updates during the stay, and pick up was a breeze. I will definitely be using Amelia again for the next trip. Thank you, Amelia!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kieryn! She was so incredibly sweet and attentive to my dog-child and took such great care of her. I rarely leave my dog with anyone but I had no qualms with Kieryn. She was responsible, communicative, and very understanding of my dog’s special little quirks. I will definitely use her over and over again as the occasions arise.”
“Melissa came to my rescue when my other sitter fell through at the last minute. I appreciated the willingness to meet up before I left town and the communication I received while away. My pups had a great time with her crew and have enjoyed returned visits. Thanks Melissa!”
“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!”
“We have had many pet sitters over the years and Amanda is by far the best! She gave wonderful, in-depth, daily updates of how our dog was doing using videos, pictures, and text. She went above and beyond taking care of his basic needs to use this opportunity to train him in areas he needed. We even learned some fun new things about him like his interest in watching dog TV. Haha Overall, I highly recommend her services!”
About: I love pets and spending time with them. I don't have one currently because I’m in college and I can't afford them. My brother has a dog that I take care of every winter when he travels. I have a lot of time to spend on your pets. I've had a dogs and a cat my whole life. I'm college student that’s currently on summer break with nothing to do, so l have plenty of time to care for your pets as if they were my own. I live in an apartment community but there is a fenced yard for pets and I live fairly close to a park and a walking trail is just down the street from where I live.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies who need consistent training, as well as senior pets who require gentle handling, medication, and extra patience. I pride myself on reading each animal’s body language, building trust quickly, and tailoring my care to their unique needs—whether that’s reinforcing good habits, providing enrichment, or offering calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my college routine—I plan my class schedule and study time around feeding, walks, and play so pets always get reliable, focused attention. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with plenty of play, walks, and snuggles. In my clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—feeding, exercising, and giving attention just like they would—so pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have used rover with my parents for the last couple years. I am now doing so on my own. I’m currently working part time and taking online classes while my boyfriend is looking for a job. We have a lot of time at home to spend caring and loving on our pets. I have a fenced yard as well as plenty of space for big and energetic dogs. I have personal experience in providing oral medication for my own dog everyday. We also have space to separate dogs if needed.

92% 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.
<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 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.
