“Samara was absolutely WONDERFUL! My boys had the best time, we're so relaxed and well taken care of (read:spoiled rotten 😂) during their stay. The updates and photos sent throughout their stay helped me not miss them so much knowing they were being cared for in a loving home.”
“If I could give 10 stars to Kaley, I would. We’ve used Rover a handful of times—all with decent success, but this experience has been the best of the best, even including non-Rover boarding solutions. Kaley cares, plain and simple. She asked some heartwarming questions about our dog like “what shows or movies does Lina like to watch?”, and “what colors do you think Lina likes?”. Kaley set up a brilliant enrichment tool that mixed peanut butter and paint (in a ziplock bag on canvas) and now we have a pretty good looking painting that my dog made! Like… what?! On top of that we have tons of cute pictures and videos of our pet. Even a little report card!! I felt Lina had an even better vacation than us. Kaley is special—she has a way of things that is really impressive. She deserves her own shop or facility one day.”
“My experience with Carolyn was great. My dog really felt at ease in her home -- was already off playing and didn't even say goodbye to me when I dropped him off. She was easy to communicate with on the app and sent a photo while I was away. I felt like she treated my dog like one of her own and would use her again.”
“She has done a great job making my usually extremely anxious dog comfortable and even able to play with her own dog. She was understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times, if something happened that I needed an earlier time for either.”
“I have never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby. Sharnee treated Ranger like he was her own and we never had to worry if he was in good hands. She was super flexible with us on drop off and pick up. We will 100% be bringing Ranger back next time we have a need for a sitter.”
“For the first time in two years we feel we finally found the perfect caregiver for our Newt. Jacob and his family took great care of our dog, sent photos, and updates. This was the first time that our dog hasn’t lost weight when we left him and when we picked him up he kept running back to Jacob. That told me he really loved him. I will definitely being booking again with Jacob.”

About: I know how stressful it can be to find someone to trust with care for fur family-I’ve been there! I strive to make the experience as seamless as possible and communicate as much or as little as requested. I’ve watched and cared for animals since I was a kid from puppies/kittens (bottle feeding) to the elderly sugar faces and end of life care (including administering medications, emergency response, injury/wound care ).

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 Umbarger 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 Umbarger 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 Umbarger.
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 Umbarger. On Rover:

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 Umbarger 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.
