“Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their senior dog! Jacqueline & Todd C. were very attentive, communicative, professional and caring.”
“My second time having Kristi and her family keep Tucker, she’s always flexible with my time, responds promptly, and most importantly Tucker is in good hands, I really appreciate all that she does to make the visit effortless”
“Such a nice family and they were so great with our dog! They also made sure to keep us updated with pictures and very fast to respond when messaged. Highly recommend!”
“Jamelah was patient with us and our Belgium Sheppard. This was our first time using Rover with this pet. By the time we returned, she had our guard dog playing with her pet. We were thrilled. I appreciate her flexibility with each pet. She didnt require a crate, and allowed our dog to sleep on a rug by the bed. Exactly like she sleeps at home. We received pics and she responded right away to needy dog parents :). We will aways use Jamelah if she is available.”
“Olly was well taken care of with Sarah and her family. I hit a bit of traffic coming home from the airport and she was flexible with the pick up time. I would definitely recommend Sarah!”
“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!”
“Our dogs had a great time at Rowan’s house! I liked that she sent pictures of them daily and checked in. They seemed very comfortable around her when we came back to pick them up. Thank you Rowan for taking great care of our pups! We will be boarding them with her again!”
“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.”
“Dustin took great care of my dog, Vino. He communicated promptly and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. This was Vino’s first boarding experience, and it went wonderfully. I will definitely continue using Dustin’s services and highly recommend him.”
“Cassandra was an absolute gem! We were very nervous to leave our fur baby with anyone since we’d never done it before, but I was at ease after meeting her and seeing how much she truly loves animals. She sent video updates every few days, which really helped us throughout the 11 days while we were gone. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Dominique was great with our pup, this was her first time away at a sitter and she did great. Dominique sent daily photos and videos, she stuck to our pups strict diet needs. We thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl.”
“Darren and his wife were such an answer to our prayers. We boarded our dog with them over the Christmas holidays and we were so relieved knowing our dog was in their care. Our dog had not done well interacting with dogs in the past, but by the end of her stay, she was playing with their own dog like they were lifelong friends. They also sent us text updates, photos and videos while we were away to show us their progress and made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of help taking care of their dogs.”
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
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m absolutely not new to caring for pets. I’ve had both cats and dogs for years, and I’m the person friends and neighbors trust when they need someone dependable who actually cares. I pay close attention to routines and what each animal needs to feel comfortable, and I follow instructions exactly so everything goes smoothly. I’m great with shy or sensitive pets, and I know how to keep them calm, happy, and feeling safe. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m very comfortable with everyday care, basic commands, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet will be in good hands with me—treated with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own. I work from home part-time, have two kids in daycare, and a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week, including weekends. I can care for pets in my home, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard, so pets can enjoy some fresh air safely. I do have young children and will only take dogs/cats that are safe being around children, for both of our safety.
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.
“There isn’t enough words to express how happy I am with Taiesha and how well she took care of Nyla. She updated me daily and sent pictures and videos. Nyla has never been around other dogs and she took her time and patience with Nyla to make her comfortable. Nyla had a few accidents and and I was so sorry for that however, Taiesha assured me it was ok and Nyla loved being with her. I am very grateful. I will use her again. Great job.”
“Desiree is an awesome sitter! My dog is terrified of thunderstorms, and she took wonderful care of him during a weekend of intense storms. She sent me lots of pictures. I was nervous about how he would do with someone he didn’t know, but he fit right in and loved it!”

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.
