“I highly recommend Rachunda for anyone looking for a reliable and caring environment for their pup. I booked a stay at her home on March 25, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. She was professional, communicative, and clearly dedicated to following my dog’s specific care and feeding routines. It was such a relief knowing my pet was in a safe, welcoming home while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Heather was amazing. She took excellent care of my dogs and made me at ease leaving them with her. She was quick to respond to my messages and sent me pictures. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing to board their dogs.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jasmine. She took such wonderful care of our boys, Opi and Boone, over a long weekend, and we are incredibly grateful. It had been a very long time since I had left my dogs with anyone, so I was honestly pretty nervous. Opi and Boone are family, and trusting someone else to care for them is a big deal for me. But from the moment I met Jasmine and her husband, I immediately felt reassured. They were so warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, and I knew right away that our boys were in the right hands. Jasmine kept us comfortable knowing that Opi and Boone were being loved, cared for, and treated like they were her own. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our time away without constantly worrying about how the boys were doing. When we picked them up, they were happy and well cared for, and we could tell they had a wonderful stay. ❤️ Thank you, Jasmine and family, for taking such amazing care of Opi and Boone and for giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust you with our boys again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets like family🐾❤️ **Five stars without hesitation!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your dogs like family, Elle is the one. We booked her to watch our two pups, Remy and Nala, and from start to finish she went above and beyond in every way. She sent us thoughtful, detailed messages about how the dogs were doing, and reading them made being away so much easier. She told us about Remy going wild in the sprinklers with her kids (he got so excited it was hilarious) and how he played "ice cream man" in the playhouse. Even our more timid one, Nala, worked up the courage at her own pace to fit in throughout the week. Everyday they had a new adventure and I loved reading about it. Elle clearly has a gift with animals. She was communicative, warm, and so attentive to their personalities. We felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her care. We can't recommend Elle enough and will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you for loving our babies like your own!”
“Jeffrey is amazing! We went out of town for a week and left our dog with him and she had an amazing time. I was constantly receiving pictures and updates throughout the day of how our girl was doing. Jeffrey and his wife were very flexible with my last minute plans and changes and I’m so thankful for that! I will definitely be using them again.”
“Cassandra was an absolute gem! We were very nervous to leave our fur baby with anyone since we’d never done it before, but I was at ease after meeting her and seeing how much she truly loves animals. She sent video updates every few days, which really helped us throughout the 11 days while we were gone. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“There isn’t enough words to express how happy I am with Taiesha and how well she took care of Nyla. She updated me daily and sent pictures and videos. Nyla has never been around other dogs and she took her time and patience with Nyla to make her comfortable. Nyla had a few accidents and and I was so sorry for that however, Taiesha assured me it was ok and Nyla loved being with her. I am very grateful. I will use her again. Great job.”
“Joseph and his wife were extremely loving and gave our Tulsa the best stay. It was our first time ever leaving our dog and felt like she was with family. I would recommend to anyone. We also appreciate the daily texts and pictures. 🥰”
“My little energizer pup, Louie, received such great care with, Erica! It was so fun getting pics of him throughout the week. Erica helped me get Louie on a better schedule. He’s much better on his leash and she gave me the most helpful training tips. I appreciated it so much, since this is my first high energy dog. Plus, he loved playing with her dogs! I will 100% use Erica again when we have to leave our little fella.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Shortall 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 Shortall 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 Shortall.
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 Shortall. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Shortall 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.
