“Jessica took great care of our dog during a 4-night stay. Communication was easy, drop-off and pick-up were smooth, and everything went just as expected. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. Would book with her again!”
“Ariana did an amazing job with my Sexy. She made sure to update me on her behavior, comfort level, eating and naps. I’m never gonna use anyone else to care for my dog! 🙂. Ariana is, by far, The Best.”
“Crystal was awesome and the perfect sitter for my Eskie "Scooter". I could tell on our last minute "Meet and Greet" that she was really special and was likely the perfect fit for my dog and during his weekend stay, she kept me up to date on how he was doing and behaving since this was Scooter's first trial with a "Sitter" rather than the old traditional boarding where he always came home tired, hungry and somewhat dehydrated. Crystal went out of her way to make Scooter feel like he has a second home and as a result, I plan to book again with her several more times in the oncoming months. She was a straight up blessing for me and my little man who has gone through so much since losing his "Mama" in 2012. He was raised by us in his initial year during Covid not being around a lot of people and/or other dogs, and not being around kids although he's been such a good mannered dog. I highly recommend Crystal and know that your dog would be in good hands, thank you so much Crystal!”
“Brittany was great with our S.C. She was very communicative and compassionate. She sent daily updates, along with pictures. We could tell our S.C. was loved and well taken care of. We are definitely going to request Brittany's services in the future. She has a beautiful home and big yard for our S.C. We highly recommend Brittany and her family. We would give more stars if we could. On another note, I got a flat tire a few weeks ago on our way for the initial meet and greet. Brittany and her husband came to where we were stranded for the meet and greet. Her husband and son changed my tire while she was getting to know our S.C. This is the type of professional, above and beyond, service that Brittany offers. Her husband even went home to retrieve another tool and their son to help with my flat tire. Can you believe it?!!! Totally amazing service. Highly, highly recommend!”
“This was an awesome choice! Alyssa took very good care of KoKo. I loved loved loved the communication and daily photos of her progress. I normally give KoKo a bath after going to doggy daycare, but she came back the same way I sent her. I also appreciate cl”
“Mackenzie was great! My dog was super relaxed with her. She sent updates about their many walks and his naps. I loved getting the pictures she sent. I would definitely consider Mackenzie again when I am in need of a sitter.”
About: I am a stay at home dog mom with lots of hands on experience caring for my mini poodle, George and my cousin’s dog, Toby. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping dogs on their normal routines, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’m very attentive, reliable, and will treat your dog like they are my own. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week, including daytime and many evening hours. Since I already plan my routine around my own dog, George, pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, exercises and companionship while they’re in my care. I have a fenced in yard and a mini poodle named George to keep your pup occupied and having fun! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding instructions, routines, or preferences so your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the daily care and attention dogs need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and following each dog’s normal routine. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently working part time so I have extra time on my hands and would love to help make sure you fur-babies are safe, secured and well taken care of. I only walk animal on their lease for theur safety and also to prevent accidents from happening to them or others. Safety first always :) .
“We left our labradoodle pup with her for 2 nights and she patiently loved him through his separation anxiety! We also failed to understand that most folks leave food for their fur family and she handled that for us as well with no complaint! Thx Torri!!”
“Carlie was awesome for our dog- he was happy and well cared for while we were away. Really appreciated the pictures Carlie sent us each day as a check in! Would highly recommend Carlie to others!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Texas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
98% of sitters in Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas.
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 Texas. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Texas 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 GA 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.
