“Dorothy was amazing! I loved how informative and flexible she was with me as well as how kind she was with Mabel (my dog). She sent me so many adorable pictures throughout the stay and frequent updates about how things were going. She watched Mabel for five nights and I received something every day, which I extremely appreciated. It’s always a little stressful and worrisome to have to leave your furry friend alone, but honestly I think Mabel had her own little vacation 😂 She seemed to enjoy playing in the big yard and making friends. I would absolutely rebook and recommend Dorothy!”
“We were so lucky Maddison & Wesley were available to watch Heidi my daughters dog while I had a major surgery. It was very last minute. They were able to do a meet the same day I contacted them and watch her starting that Mon-Wed. It was such a relief knowing they had dogs her same size and they knew how to handle her. She’s a cuddle bug but very big and solid! We thank your family for being so AWESOME!!”
“Garrison watched my dog for me over the holidays for a week and I highly recommend him as a sitter. He was great with communication from the beginning when I first booked with him and keeping me updated during the stay. Milo was very happy and obviously well cared for while I was gone. Thank you, Garrison!”
“My Mei was well taken care of Joel and his wife took very good care communicated every single day sent photos the show progress that they were making with my baby and I was very satisfied with her. She was very well behaved when she came home and I would definitely rebook with them again. it was like she was being taken care of by family.”
“My dogs were healthy, happy, and smelled so nice when I picked them up! Nicole took good care of them and even gave them treats for the road. Next time I need to board my dogs, I will be contacting Nicole!”
“This was my first time leaving my doggies with Mikaela while out on a work trip. I felt very at ease with her and her beautiful family. She is definitely very caring, responsive and attentive. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Martha did an excellent job at taking care of my baby. She is very thorough and is very detail oriented and if your dog needs meds she is able to give them. She sends pictures every morning and is highly communicative. Excellent sitter over all and will book with her again.”
“Excellent experience with Leslie. Our Great Pyrenees came home happy with no stress. Leslie did a great job of keeping us informed on Hazels daily activities and shared several pictures. Will definitely check on rebooking her first when we travel in the future.”
“Velma was amazing. She was available last minute for 4th of July weekend and she took such good care of my babies. She communicated with me the entire weekend and sent me pictures of my babies. She even brushed them and they came home looking like brand new dogs! She is conveniently located also. Will definitely book Velma again. Thank you for everything!”
“Kristen is a great cat sitter! She provided my cat with his own space and sent me updates on him and photos which made us feel confident our Kwazii was doing well. She even sent him home with new cat toys! ❤️”
“Austyn was an amazing Dogsitter! She provided so many images while I was away. My dog has severe separation anxiety and Austyn did an amazing job keeping her company. I highly recommend for anyone needing a Dogsitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’m a public health educator with a love of all sorts of furry friends. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. New clients: Please book a meet & greet at least 24 hr before drop off so I can make sure your pet gets the best care! My husband and I live in a spacious home with a big backyard with our dog, Winnie. Whether your pet stays with us or I visit them, they will be treated like family. Winnie gets along great with other dogs, especially if they love a good round of zoomies! I’ll be happy to take your dog to a dog park, pet store, and other outings. I’m also more than pleased with staying home all day. I can do whatever your pet needs to feel happy, safe, and entertained. Feel free to reach out to me for special requests and other questions about providing the best care possible for your pet. I'm currently working full-time, but am happy to do morning and evening drop-in visits and weekend doggie daycare. Let me know how I can help! I have a fenced-in yard in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for long walks. My dog Winnie loves having company over and making new friends.

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 South Elm 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 South Elm.
<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 South Elm 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.
