“Our golden doodle loved Andrew and his puppers! She was fascinated by the cows and donkeys he had in his farm! Andrew was responsive and also accommodated an extra day when we had to push out our return. Oh yeah - the food bowl and water bowl were returned sparkling clean! We will surely use Andrew to board Radha again! Highly recommended!!”

“Kimberly, Jagger and Iris were amazing with our fur baby Rylie. Rylie had so much fun with them! I will definitely be scheduling for them to watch Rylie again soon!”

“Was Amazing 😊 my Leyla was so happy they always send me pictures of her, and that make feel better knowing that my baby was fine.. thank you very much for take care of her I will book with you again 🐕”


“They were the absolute best! I could not be happier that I chose them to look after my 5 month puppy, Nero. They are a great, friendly couple who kept me updated with photos and shared fun moments they had with Nero. From the moment I met them, I knew that Nero was going to be in good hands and felt very comfortable leaving him. They will always be my first choice whenever I need to board Nero.”


“Sarah is the best! Our dogs were happy and well taken care of during their stay. She communicates well by providing detailed updates. She was flexible and able to accommodate my schedule. I will be using her services again and I recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”

“This was the first time boarding our two Dogs. Sidney was helpful and took very good care of them. The photo updates he sent, always showed our Dogs were happy and having fun!”

“Our Winston loved his time with Kent and his family. He was treated like one of the family. Several updated to keep us from worrying about our boy also. Highly recommend!!”

“This was our first time using Rover and a sitter like this.. Bentley has some separation anxiety but Arile took him right in and walked him and loved on him and made him feel right at home. She was great. Would highly recommend her and will use her again for sure.”

About: I’ve been head-over-heels in love with animals for as long as I can remember, turning a lifelong passion into years of hands-on pet-sitting adventures! Whether it’s decoding a kitten’s 3:00 AM zoomies, giving a wise senior dog the gentle TLC they deserve, or keeping a bunny happy with fresh greens, I truly thrive around creatures big, small, fluffy, and feathered. Over the years, I’ve mastered the fine art of belly rubs, laser-pointer marathons, and treat distribution, treating every single fur-baby like royalty. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s my favorite way to spend the day, making sure your pets stay happy, loved, and thoroughly spoiled while you’re away! I will be using this as my full time job. I am home all day and able to care for the needs of your pet! Whether that is daily walks, check ins, medication administration, play time, I can do it all! In my home pets have access to filtered water, fresh bowls and food, and sanitary living environments. I keep a clean household and do not mind cleaning up daily. I have a large backyard fenced in where we can play and get some fresh air! I also have a trail near my house for walks and a park nearby. In my clients home, I understand I am coming into your home and most importantly your pets home. I treat their space with respect and kindness. I want them to be comfortable in their own home and will provide the best care as possible for your pets.
“Nataly was great with communication and professional and personable. This was our first time using a sitter and she made the process great and provided updates with pictures. We will definitely be returning!”

“When your dog has severe trust issues like Ebony does, you realize very quickly the difference between people who are genuinely good with animals and people who just think they're good with animals. I'm very happy to say that Eryn is definitely one of the former group, and at no point during our meet and greet, drop off, her stay, or pick up did I feel like she was anything less than fantastic. Very grateful for her and her willingness to work with Ebony's issues with temperament!”

“Kathryn was great! I can tell her and her family have lots of experience caring for pups. The whole process from the meet & greet to pickup was very smooth and organized. Most importantly, my boy was well taken care of!”

“We booked Maria for a 10-day trip and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided our pup! She went above and beyond—sending daily photos and videos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog was not just being looked after, but was genuinely loved and spoiled the entire time. Her communication was consistent. We came home to a happy, healthy dog who clearly adored her time with Maria. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”


“We had such a wonderful experience with her! ❤️ This was my dog’s first time ever being away from our family, so I was definitely nervous leaving him for 3 days. She was so patient, loving, and attentive with him and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for. She went above and beyond, and I could tell he received so much love and attention while he was with her. I’m so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

“Trevor was communicative and friendly. My dog appeared to have a good time and he sent pictures, videos, and informative updates throughout his stay. I would recommend Trevor as a pet sitter.”

“Salene was amazing! I requested her to board my dog in March 2025 and she responded quickly! She asked questions and put me at ease. Drop off was easy and she sent me videos and photos of my dog Dash throughout his stay. My dog got along with her dog Teddy and I could tell he was comfortable in her home. I would highly recommend her as a sitter!”

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 Southmayd 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 Southmayd.
<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 Southmayd 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.
