“Dorothy was amazing! I loved how informative and flexible she was with me as well as how kind she was with Mabel (my dog). She sent me so many adorable pictures throughout the stay and frequent updates about how things were going. She watched Mabel for five nights and I received something every day, which I extremely appreciated. It’s always a little stressful and worrisome to have to leave your furry friend alone, but honestly I think Mabel had her own little vacation 😂 She seemed to enjoy playing in the big yard and making friends. I would absolutely rebook and recommend Dorothy!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Lucky, Peanut, and Milo. It means a lot knowing they were in gentle, attentive hands. We truly appreciate the updates and the peace of mind you gave us. We’re grateful for you!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful time at Andrea's! They had access to a dog door that made it even special for my dogs who love to chase squirrels! We enjoyed her so much that I ended up booking more days with her! Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“We definitely be booking again for our next trip ! They kept us updated on how Cheeto was doing, we got pictures everyday and they have been so kind! 10/10 recommend !”
“If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your dogs like family, Elle is the one. We booked her to watch our two pups, Remy and Nala, and from start to finish she went above and beyond in every way. She sent us thoughtful, detailed messages about how the dogs were doing, and reading them made being away so much easier. She told us about Remy going wild in the sprinklers with her kids (he got so excited it was hilarious) and how he played "ice cream man" in the playhouse. Even our more timid one, Nala, worked up the courage at her own pace to fit in throughout the week. Everyday they had a new adventure and I loved reading about it. Elle clearly has a gift with animals. She was communicative, warm, and so attentive to their personalities. We felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her care. We can't recommend Elle enough and will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you for loving our babies like your own!”
“My very active spoiled puppies had a wonderful visit at Lacey's! I have only left them once before and was worried that they would be too much trouble but Lacey handled them better than I could have hoped!”
“I had a great experience with this sitter and truly appreciate the care she gave my dog. My dog can be very nervous in noisy environments, and she was very attentive to that, making sure he felt comfortable and safe. He is also a very well behaved dog and does not use a kennel; instead, he stays in enclosed rooms or more open areas. She understood and respected that, which I really valued. I could tell he was very well cared for because when I picked him up and brought him back home, he showed none of the signs he has had with other sitters such as being timid, shaking, or even hesitant around us. She also showed genuine concern when he wasn’t eating much and reached out about it instead of ignoring it. I appreciated that a lot. Throughout the stay, she sent photos and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely book with her again for my next trip.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with my two fur babies. She allowed us to drop off our girls before sunrise so my family could make our flight, and was incredibly accommodating when we had a last-minute extension due to a flight cancellation. She kept us updated the entire time with plenty of great photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. I couldn’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be back!”
“She was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! She was incredibly kind, responsive, and sent lots of pictures and regular updates, which gave my girlfriend and me great peace of mind while we were away. She was also extremely communicative and transparent throughout the stay and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She was even willing to rearrange her work schedule when needed, which we really appreciated. She also went above and beyond when wrapping things up. Everything was packed up very neatly, and she even washed things in the dishwasher before leaving. You can really tell she takes pride in taking care of the dogs and making things easy for their owners. We would absolutely have her watch our dogs again!”
“I'm so grateful to have found someone I can trust to take care of our two fur babies! Leaving them with someone else isn’t always easy, but knowing they are in good hands gave me so much peace of mind. It means a lot to know they are cared for with love and attention. Communication is great, and I truly appreciate the kindness and care you have shown them. Thank you for treating our babies so well and helping me feel comfortable knowing they are safe and loved. I would absolutely recommend Pyles Pet Stay to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets! 🐾❤️🐶🐶”
“Sara did great with both of our dogs. It was our first time leaving them so we were a little nervous. She kept us up to date with pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, and turtles. I’ve had 5 dogs and 6 cats throughout my life and currently have 3 additional cats to the 6. Growing up around so many different animals has taught me how to recognize their individual personalities, needs, routines, and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, companionship, and providing plenty of love and attention. I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. As a stay-at-home mom and Army Reservist, I have a flexible daily and weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most of the day, so I can provide frequent attention, bathroom breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m able to work pet care into my routine without rushing, and I enjoy having animals around throughout the day. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with different pets’ routines and their owners’ needs. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, keep their normal feeding and bathroom schedule, provide exercise and playtime, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I would also keep their space clean and comfortable and communicate with their owner about how they’re doing. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, have had multiple throughout my childhood, and adult life. They show nothing but love, and I love to reciprocate it through my care for your pet. I am home 7 days a week, and doing schooling online. I will give your pet the love and attention they need and deserve. I currently go to school full time online, so my schedule is super flexible! My schedule is your pets schedule, and will attend to anything and everything they need! I live in a house that sits on about an acre, fully fenced yard. I have scathed every foot of my yard, as I have a miniature dachshund who is very curious. I also have a doggy door on the back door of my home, that can be used at all times.
“She was absolutely amazing with Nova! She took such great care of her and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Nova was happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and attentive. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and understand that pets are part of the family. As a mom, I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and used to creating a safe, structured, and loving environment. I’ve always had a dog growing up, and was responsible for that dog. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from playful and energetic to shy and laid-back. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of affection and attention. Although I’m active duty and have kids, I make time to take care of your furmily member. I come home on lunch. Walks after PT. I have a camera in the house, your doggo is free to roam while I’m gone. I have a fenced yard, 1 dog, and 4 kids(12,10,3,6). They all know how to play with dogs and understand the cues of a dog. They also enjoy helping.
“Tracy and her husband both absolutely adore animals of all kinds. They’ve got plenty of fenced area for the doggo’s to run and play. It’s a wonderful environment where your furbabies are safe and loved! Definitely will be booking with them every time.”
About: I have been around animals and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I am comfortable around all dogs and I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your fur baby. When I come to take care of, play with, or walk your fur baby I will dedicate my time to loving them. When staying with me I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I like to build trust, communicate and personalize your fur babies stay so you both feel at ease. I am currently home full time and I am available for drop ins when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I will take your fur baby on a walk to use the restroom since I don’t have a gated yard but if that’s a worry, I also have access to a few gated dog parks for your fur baby to run around and use the restroom.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life growing up on a farm in NC! I’ve been a dog groomer in the past it was the best experience ever! Book with me if you want your furry baby’s to be treated with the care they deserve! I’m currently working part time but I have LOTS of free time I’m always outside with my dog so let me get your dogs exercise in! I live in a 2 bed apartment very big and cozy my dog is either sun bathing on the back porch playing around the house or we even have a dog park also! We also take walks to the dog park 3 minutes from my house

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.
96% of sitters in The Grove 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 Grove 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 Grove.
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 The Grove. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 The Grove 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.
