“Alison was so great with Bailey! She was super patient and caring, and Bailey seemed really happy and comfortable at her home. I could tell he had a great time there. I really appreciated how well Alison took care of him and would definitely book with her again! 😊”
“Lily was a stellar dog sitter!!! She was so nice to have been available for a meet & greet well in advance prior to Buddy’s stay and upon time for drop off, she was communicative and excited for his arrival. The moment we arrived Buddy was more than happy to stay with her & her family, along with their dog, Turbo. Lily frequently sent pictures throughout his stay, sharing their walks & play time together. My pup looked happier as ever! I highly recommend Lily’s services as she’s extremely professional, dependable, trustworthy, and genuine! Buddy & I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
“Sandra is an amazing caretaker! She treated our dogs as if they were her own. They got plenty of outdoor time in the large shaded backyard and she even has a doggy pool if they wanted to cool down with a splash. She made sure they were comfortable and felt at home and she sent lots of pictures and videos! We feel so blessed to have found Sandra to watch our dogs and look forward to using her in the future!”
“Where do we begin? Rowena was BEYOND AMAZING when she babysat our Pomeranian for almost a week. She went ABOVE & BEYOND anything we could have expected, and treated our dog like he was her own. The pictures and videos she sent us throughout the week showed him being spoiled and adored by her, and totally eased our anxiety about boarding him (for the first time ever) while we were on vacation. We can’t say enough good things about Rowena. She is absolutely the best sitter we could have ever hoped for. She was kind & loving to our dog (child) & she even catered to some of his high maintenance needs (like helping him eat more slowly & taking him out in the yard to run around, to let him get his “zoomies” out, etc). Her house was immaculate & clean, which was even more comforting to us, because we were anxious our pup might eat something off the floor, if able (he wasn’t able to because her house was spotless). We really can’t say enough good things about our experience with Rowena and how well she cared for our dog while we were out of town. It’s very obvious that she LOVES what she does, and that she LOVES DOGS. So amazing. Book her….you will never book anyone else! Thank you again, Rowena! I’m booking you again now!”
“Kristina really helped me out when my long-term dog sitter went MIA and I had to find one at the last minute before an early flight the next morning. Biscuit was well-cared for, there were lots of pictures and communication, and he came home happy (well, actually, he seems like he missed the fun he was having there!). Would absolutely recommend!”
“This was a short visit for Hira and Belle with Janna. Janna did share a couple of pictures during their stay and they looked happy. Thank you for taking them out on walks, Janna. Much appreciated. We will definitely considers booking their stays with Janna’s family again.”
“I give my highest praise and gratitude for Hannah. She took my little shy and headstrong Staffy into her home as if she was already part of her pack. She understands canine behavior and made my Madison feel so safe and secure that I was afraid that my dog would rather stay at Hannah's house than come back home. I swear that Hannah took care of my dog better than I do, and with all the love too. The daily photos and updates that Hannah provided gave me so much peace-of-mind while out of the country for 5 weeks. Again, my highest praise goes out to her. I would recommend her care for your pet without any reservation. Madison and I love, love, love Hannah.”
“We had a very pleasant experience with Kimberly, she cared for Pooch while we were away and was very quick to respond whenever I asked her about my Pooch. Highly recommend and will be staying with her again!”
“Shang went above and beyond in taking care of my dog. After realizing I forgot to bring vegs and other supplementary food I had packed, Shang facilitated the missing foods, giving that human touch and care.”
“This was our first time using rover and Britteny was great with our dog, he had such a great time! She and her son clearly love what they do and it shows with how they interact with animals and communicated with us throughout Mavericks stay!”
“Rikki was wonderful with our Charlie. She stayed in constant communication with us and sent us daily pictures. When our flight was delayed upon our arrival she was flexible and worked with us to pick him up later than originally planned. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave our Charlie with her again.”
“Mixie and her family were amazing with my little dog! She made sure koko was entertained the entire time, and even sent her home with a cute souvenir! I highly recommend!”
“At the first meetup, my husband and i immediately felt warm vibes from Nathalie and Jose. They were very nice, accommodating, and pleasant to speak with. You can easily feel how much they have passion for dogs, which made it easier for us to leave our pup knowing he is in good hands. Nathalie was also very good in keeping us posted on our pup, and would send updates with pictures of them all having fun whether in the house or out in the backyard. I'm sure our pup already misses them so much! We are so happy to have found them on Rover and will most definitely re-book again and again. Very highly recommended!”
“Gabby was amazing!!! She was super sweet, very flexible, very understanding and was able to help me board my cat last minute when I had to travel out of town!!! She made my cat Her Majesty Queen Snow White feel loved, respected, and appreciated!!!! She sent me pictures and videos of my beloved cat and kept me posted on how she was doing!!!! I'm super grateful for you Gabby and totally recommend Gabby!!!”
“Mary was so lovely and great with our dogs. One of my pups is very fearful, and Mary always made sure my pup felt comfortable. She sent many photos while I was away so I wouldn’t worry. We are so glad we found her!”
“Timmesha & Joe are like Nevada’s second family. They are reliable, patient, and keep her very active. Selfishly, I don’t want to share how truly great they are because then they will be all booked! This family is a gem.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sugar Land
Sandi and Phil are wonderful! We are new to Rover, so I scheduled a one-night sleepover as a trial run. I have a dog who is anxious and fearful and a puppy who is attention seeking and sometimes naughty. Sandi and Phil's home is dog-friendly with a fully fenced backyard perfect for exploring and a large front window for keeping an eye on the neighborhood. They are calm, experienced former dog owners who enjoy having canine guests. When I picked the dogs up the next day, the dogs were initially excited but quickly settled back into what they had been doing before my arrival. My anxious dog was not anxious about leaving. While the humans visited, I noticed the dogs casually made their rounds between Sandi, Phil and myself for pets. The dogs enjoyed their stay - even my anxious one. Great first experience.
Thank you so much, Swathy, for taking such wonderful care of Aspen! Looking at the daily pictures you sent, she looked so happy and content. I really appreciated you taking her out for daily walks, too. Having a dog of your own clearly shows—you naturally know exactly what a pup needs to feel comfortable. I’m so grateful and will definitely be reaching out next time! I will highly recommend Swathy . 5 stars for sure
Thank you Diana, best dog sitting experience we have had. Diana kept us updated on everything worth knowing, incl pictures. Our dog is not easy and she managed to succesfully introduce her to one of her own dogs, and they played and we saw out dog get more and more comfortable as the week progressed , Thank you.
What an amazing care taker Joanna and Brian are. We have had some bad experiences via rover but this one is a keepsake. We will be going back only to them in the future. Remo had a wonderful break at their place and they kept sending so many pics of him throughout our vacations. Our entire family enjoyed those pics and we were happy that remo was in a safe place. I would give them 100 stars of at that was an option. Thank you so much. Our baby had so much love to give and I truly hope you enjoyed him as much as he did.
I can't say enough good things about my experience with Valerie and her family. From the very beginning, she kept me informed every step of the way, which I really appreciated. She regularly sent photos and videos of Coco. Communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Coco. Seeing the updates along the way gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you for taking such great care of Coco! 🐾🌈
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Wonderful Experience! Ms. Mary was amazing with my dogs! She’s caring, reliable, and treated them like her own. I loved getting daily updates and photos — it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My pups came home happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Ms. Mary and will definitely book with her again! 🐾

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Sugar Land 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 Sugar Land 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 Sugar Land.
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 Sugar Land. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Sugar Land 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.
