“Tisha was great; they have a house-full of friendly dogs who seemed to make fast friends with our two dogs. She was very attentive and cautious at first to make sure there wouldn't be any issues, and conscientious about making us feel comfortable with our dogs being there. Our dogs seemed to have a great time, and slept for almost a full 24 hours straight when we got back, so I know they got some good exercise. We will definitely look to Tisha again.”
“Wendy is super nice. Her house is super clean and smells good. Her dog Coco and my dog Fred are best friends now. Fred seemed happy and calm when I picked him up after a week stay. I recommend.”
“Very responsive and sent lots of pictures. My flight waa delayed and put me getting in very late but she was willing to work with me to have my dog stay another night. Plenty of space for the dog to run around. Definitely reccomend.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shyonda did a great job taking care of my Great Pyrenees puppy over the 4th of July weekend. She was reliable, caring, and kept them safe and comfortable during all the fireworks. I would definitely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her.”
“Lesly B. was absolutely amazing!!! Daily updates with pictures and progress throughout the day! Personal attention to care and needs.Would recommend Lesly B. and will for sure use her again!!!”
“Gabby and Alejandro were easy to work with and I felt comfortable leaving my Sadie girl with them. Super sweet couple with love to give to our pet while OOT. Would book again Thank you!”
“Chanisy did a great job with our two large dogs and I could tell they were in good hands right away! She sent updates a couple of times each day and it felt so good knowing my girls were in good hands and enjoying themselves. I definitely recommend!”
“They were wonderful with our 3 dogs. They even helped socialize them!!!! I highly recommend them for long stays and single doggie daycare so they are not cooped up inside while you run errands.”
“Emily did an outstanding job with Ransas. I'd pick her anytime to take care of my baby. She's a very kind person and took such good care of my dog that I thought I might not get him back.”
“Barbara is a very sweet lady and took great care of my little Ruby. I like how they were able to keep each other company and go on walks with each other. We will definitely use Barbara again when we need to go out of town.”
“This was our first time boarding our dogs and we were nervous. But Karen was fantastic, explained everything to us, and kept us updated, our dogs were well cared for and we were able to enjoy our trip with no worries about our fur babies. She even offered us a discount for more than one dog but we felt she deserved full payment for such a great experience.”
“Ketsiah was absolutely amazing. Took in our pup on short notice. Kept in contact with us the entire trip. Pics and texts. We truly appreciate you Ketsy! Thank you so much. I highly recommend her.”
“Wow! This was our first Rover experience but definitely not our last! Josh and Erin were quick to respond, so helpful and put us at ease right away. We got great pics and updates allowing us to know Axel was doing great and just part of their family! We'll definitely use them again!”
“Trey was amazing! I boarded my dog with him over my vacation and she was in good hands with him. She had plenty of play time. My dog has needs to be fed with specific diet and Trey followed her meal plan well.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies, adults, and senior dogs. As an experienced foster, I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace. I focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving environment where every dog feels at home. I also send regular updates so you always know how your pup is doing. My foster experience has given me patience and confidence with training basics, routines, and dogs who may need a little extra care or reassurance. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have two dogs of my own who get daily exercise, so your pup will be part of an active, playful environment as well. I’m a teacher with strong availability during summers, holidays, and school breaks. My husband works from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, providing extra care and supervision. I also work just 5 minutes away, so I can come home during the day for check-ins and potty breaks as needed. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, as well as crates and gates available if needed to create a secure and structured environment for your dog. I have two friendly dogs of different sizes (50 lbs and 70 lbs) who are well-socialized and have gotten along great with all of my previous fosters. Your pup will have a calm, supervised, and welcoming home environment.
“Nina went above and beyond while watching our dog . She made sure to send us update pictures throughout the entire day . I felt completely comfortable with him staying with her because I always knew what was going on . She is an amazing sitter and will definitely only use her from here on out when I need someone to watch him.”

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 Shepherd 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 Shepherd.
<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 Shepherd 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.
