“My Goldendoodle Barbie loved Natalie! She was very patient with her being a little scared the first day but she was very gentle and sweet with her that she just wanted to be around her. Since she’s not used to other dogs she was a bit shy but her dogs are so sweet and playful she finally opened up to playing and interacting. Natalie kept me updated here and there without me asking. Barbie was happy to see me and happy in general so I’m sure she had a great time. Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love, patience, and care for animals, along with a year of pet-care experience. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. I’m very active, so walks, playtime, and keeping pets entertained are things I genuinely enjoy. I’m also patient with young pets who are still learning and gentle with senior pets who may need extra attention. Most importantly, I treat every pet like family and want their owners to have complete peace of mind while they’re in my care. I am currently in college, and my campus is dog-friendly, which makes having a pet a really great fit for my lifestyle. I genuinely love animals and would enjoy making pet care an important part of my daily routine. I am also a very active person, so making sure your babies gets plenty of exercise, walks, and playtime would never be a problem for me. I would make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while still balancing my classes and other responsibilities. I see pet care as more than just a responsibility—it’s something I would genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I know your baby is more than just a pet they’re family. My priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow their routine, give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and exercise. I’m very active, so keeping your baby happy and active will never be a problem. Most importantly, I’ll treat your baby like my own and make sure you feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

“I’m so thankful I found Danielle on Rover! She’s so sweet, flexible, and (most importantly) RELIABLE! I never have to worry about my dog Milo when I leave him in her care; she sends photos and videos throughout the day and is super responsive so I feel like I’m always in touch! Milo loves her and can’t wait to return for paw patrol duty!!! Thank you Danielle!”
“Ximena was wonderful! This was our first time to board our dog with a Rover, so I was a bit nervous. She suggested a meet up beforehand with her dog and mine to make sure it was a good fit. And during the stay, she sent lots of photos, and even made Apollo some homemade topper for his kibble when he wasn’t eating. Will be booking with Ximena again!”

I cannot recommend Denise enough! She took incredible care of Chewy and truly went above and beyond. I loved receiving regular video updates of him while I was away. She took him on fun car adventures to keep him entertained and even gave him a bath so he was clean and pampered when I picked him up. She is fantastic, and I will absolutely book her again!

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 South Houston 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 South Houston 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 Houston.
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 South Houston 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.
