She sent pics and videos which was awesome! We will definitely use her again and HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Christopher was great! He was willing to accept my request last minute, and Axel had a great time. He kept him walked, engaged, and updated me throughout the stay.

So much so that we had to warn Andreia not to make Summer love her stay too much because we were worried she wouldn't want to come home anymore. We had a stress free 2-week vacation, secure and confident that she was well taken care of. Andreia and her family loved Summer like their own. We had daily updates and Andreia is very responsive. We couldn't be happier. We will definitely not hesitate to leave Summer with them again. Thank you, Andreia. Thank you to your 2 wonderful boys and your own fur baby and kitty.”

We rebooked with Brittani because our Doodle feels safe and happy with her and her family, and so will your pet! Niko had a huge smile plastered on his face when I picked him up which says it all! He was cuddled and well-cared for. It's a relief for me to know I have someone I can trust with my Doodle Bear. Thank you, Brittani!
I had such a great experience leaving Titan with her! Titan is a Rottweiler, so I’m always very particular about who I trust to take care of him, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She took great care of him, kept me updated every day, and was incredibly understanding throughout his stay. What stood out to me the most was how comfortable Titan was with her — he looked completely at home and genuinely seemed to enjoy his time there. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. I would definitely trust her with Titan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with care and patience!
Brittany was wonderful with Bella! We did a meet and greet beforehand where Bella got to meet her two adorable kittens, and everything went smoothly. Brittany was super flexible with scheduling and took amazing care of Bella while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing Bella was in such great hands. Highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a reliable and sweet pet sitter!
Maria was so sweet to my baby and made my dog feel like a part of her family. She is very communicative and will keep you up to date on everything that is going on to let you know that your dog is in good hands. She definitely spoiled her during her stay and I will be booking with Maria again!
Very sweet and friendly couple! Since this was our first time, Emily checked up on care instructions for Bruno. She shared pictures, updates during the day. They even took my dog for a long walk in the morning so that we would still get a break when he got back. Very appreciative of everything they did. Will definitely come back.
We were needing a sitter on short notice and our usual sitter was not available for the holiday weekend-Enter Kimberly! She’s friendly and has loved &taken care of dogs for as long as she can remember. She was so patient and understanding with our nervous pup. She did a great job taking care of him, we’ll use her again. Thanks kinberly!
Yanel was fantastic!! She took our large dog on pretty short notice for 2 weeks. Communication and flexibility were excellent and appreciated and Yanel could not have been easier to work with. We never had any worries about how well our dog was being cared for, we will certainly use her in the future and highly recommend her!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Montae provided for my two large, high‑energy dogs. He went above and beyond — daily walks, dog‑park time, played music and plenty of attention to help them feel secure and relaxed. After their two‑day stay, they came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I trust Montae fully, and it’s such a relief knowing my dogs are in safe, responsible, and loving hands for their stay with him. I’m highly recommending Montae. I highly recommend Montae. Both of my dogs are German Shepherd mixes, and it has always been extremely difficult for me to find someone who can truly care for them and love them in my absence. I was so nervous at first, but Montae turned out to be an absolute blessing.

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 The Colony 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 The Colony 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 The Colony.
<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 The Colony 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.
