“Maegan and her daughter were fabulous! I was worried my dog might be a lot to handle. Maegan assured me she was familiar with the breed I have. Updates and pictures were sent. I could see my dog was attaching herself to Maegan’s daughter. And I knew she was getting a lot of attention. It was great!”
“Kristina did a great job communicating and sending a lot of pictures! Tokyo seemed to have a great time with her pups. I will be booking again with her in the future!”
“Leo had such an amazing time! He felt so comfortable and cared for the entire stay. The sitter sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel completely at ease. Leo can be a little sensitive, but he was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Truly grateful for the wonderful care!”
“Jonathan took great care of my dog (high-energy Australian Shepherd) for more than a week. My dog came back happy and well looked after. Jonathan was polite, responsive, and easy to communicate with, and he shared photos and videos during the stay, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with him again next time.”
“This is our second time using Allison and she has been an excellent caregiver for our almost 14 year old poodle mix. Allison communicates in a timely manner and send plenty of photos during the stay. She treats her like we do at home and will allow our dog to snuggle with her or her son in bed. Our dog loves human loving and Allison provides that. Allison’s prices are very reasonable and we would recommend her highly.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Experience with Luisa! I can’t say enough great things about Luisa! She took care of my senior Pomeranian, Nina, for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Normally, Nina gets very stressed when she’s away from home, but with Luisa, it was a completely different story. From the moment we met, I could tell that Luisa truly loves and understands dogs. Luisa provided a warm, comfortable, and loving environment that made Nina feel right at home. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Nina was not only well cared for but also happy and relaxed—something that is rare for her when she’s away from home. I highly recommend Luisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog sitter. She treated Nina like family, and I am beyond grateful for the wonderful care she provided. We will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you, Luisa! 🐶❤️”
“Susan was fantastic caring for our Rona for an extended stay. She was patient and took the time to help Rona adjust and feel comfortable. Susan kept us fully informed and we were reassured all was OK, and it was all OK...”
“Andrea and David are the best! I pretty much plan my trips around their availability. They take great care of our dog, communication is great and they’re very easy to work with!”
“Oh my goodness, where do I even start! Not only did Ashley take exceptional care of my Stormie Lou, she kept me updated with pictures, text and even gave storm a cute little bandanna to go home in. She was very responsive and respectful of my asks and wishes. She made Stormie feel like an extension of her own family. It let me feel a weight off my shoulders that my fur baby was in the best hands possible. Will ONLY be doing business with Ashley.”
“Anthony was great!!! He was very responsive and knowledgeable about handling dogs. He has a super set up with a fenced in backyard. He took great care of my beloved Tater. You couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for your pet. 🥰”
“Sofía and her family took amazing care of Molkas! Great communication, attentive, and very loving. He was in such good hands. Without a doubt, I will leave Molkas with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Swapna & Ravi took wonderful care of Zara! They constantly updated us with photos of her and she had so much fun with their dog, Sky. Zara was provided with a welcoming environment and we would recommend them to any pet families!”
“We had a fantastic experience boarding Daisy with Kerrigan! She took such wonderful care of her and made us feel completely at ease. We loved receiving the photo updates multiple times a day—it was clear Daisy was having a blast and being treated like part of the family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and loving environment for your dog, I highly recommend Kerrigan. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lisa took exceptional care of our kitty while we were away for extended time. She made sure to take plenty of pictures and even a video of our kitties playing together! She is quick to respond and very communicative. Willow even received a parting toy when we came to pick her up! Thank you Lisa!”

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 Smithwick 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 Smithwick.
<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 Smithwick 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.
