“An amazing job with our Phoebe from a late booking to early drop off and great recommendations for first time family pet owners. Gabriela set us at ease and kept us updated with pictures. Phoebe was able to play with other furry friends, who she was afraid of before. Overall very satisfied!”
“Jennifer was a absolute lifesaver for us! She accepted a super last-minute request to take care of our Belgian Malinois, Bruno, and did an amazing job. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the breed and handled him with so much confidence and care. Her communication was prompt, friendly, and frequent—she always answered our messages right away with updates. Beyond her professionalism, Jennifer is such a warm and sweet person. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her!”
“We have been hesitant on leaving our dog with past boarding experiences. Needless to say Sarah completely changed our point of view. She took such great care of our fur baby. Communicated every day. We received pictures with updates several times a day! Will 100 percent recommend Sarah and will definitely book her again!”
“Kaitlyn took care of both our pups with great care! One of our dogs is older and is on a couple medications and they had no issues at all. Her communication was great and we got updates with pictures about every other day or so. Our pups were super happy and seemed very well taken care of when we picked them up. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else's care.

I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and keeping pets on a consistent routine fit naturally into my lifestyle. I'm available for walks, doggy day-care and overnight stays. I make it a priority to follow each pet's individual needs and their owner's instructions.

“What a lovely family! Our baby girl, Sassy Boo, has only been kenneled twice at a vet clinic in the past ten years. We hated the idea of her being caged. We decided to give Rover.com a try for an over night stay in a home. We were lucky to find Jordyn and Gerron. We were comforted by several messages and pictures. Sassy Boo had a big grin and was clearly happy and well cared for. We'll definitely be booking again. This is Sassy Boo's new home away from home. Thank you for your great service. Book with confidence!”

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, 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.
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 , 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.
