“Mike did a superb job taking care of our Niko‼️He sent us updates and videos and kept us informed on how Niko was doing. Our doggie loves to play with his and Mike always pays special attention to him. Thank you and you'll always be my top 1st choice ‼️”
“I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!! Tammy was great! We are truly blessed to have met her and to have had her watch our fur babies. We were able to enjoy our time with our family without any worries. She kept us informed of all the fun they were having with pictures and videos. One less worry for us to think about the next time we have to go out of town. Thank you Tammy for all you did for us!”
“Honestly, 10/10 recommend ! Trust me when I say you want your dog to stay with Chelsea. She kept me updated all day, everyday; from who my dog was playing with, how she was eating, down to what her poop looked like (my dog has a sensitive stomach so her poops are important lol) Will 100% rebook ❤️”
“It was our first time using Ashley, for our fur baby Dexter. She was very good with him, sent pictures and answered all my texts messages and questions when I messaged her for updates. Dexter had a great time with her Dogs, he played a lot. I will definitely use Ashley when we go out town in the future. Thank you Ashley for taking great care of my baby boy Dexter!”
“My young energetic 8 month old had such a good time with Juliana and Kiko! She took such good care of him and I got so many pictures and videos. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Alexus was great! Kept me informed with pictures everyday. Bucky enjoyed playing with her pup. This was the kind of activity Bucky needed to have had a great time. Will definitely look to book with her again.”
“Rachel was AMAZING. From the beginning she was professional and compassionate. She communicated consistently with me at all times and sent tons of photos and videos of Lesley while I was away. She was accommodating of Lesley needs and ensured her safety and comfort throughout the entire visit. Would highly recommend Rachel!”
“Sarah & her family were wonderful to our dog Tucker. My new pet sitter bailed on me at the last minute & I reached out to Sarah who responded immediately. She updated us multiple times daily with pictures & updates. They say things happen for a reason, so we are thrilled to find Tucker’s new home away from home for travels!”
“My dog is a love pup, but does lead a fairly solitary life with just me. Once in a while, I do like to board him with other dogs so he can keep up his socialization. This was the best house for it. He's the best sort of exhausted when he got home.”
“Chase was an amazing sitter and my dogs felt right at home! Went above and beyond to make sure my dogs had everything they needed and was very loving with them. Very happy they were in such great hands with him and his family. My new go-to sitter!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone outside of family for an extended period, so I was naturally a little nervous. Jan made the entire experience wonderful! Her home was beautiful, clean, and had a great yard for the dogs to enjoy. She kept me reassured throughout my trip with regular pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that my dog was well cared for and loved while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you for making my first Rover experience such a positive one!”
“Morgan took great care of of my fur baby for two weeks. She kept me updated, sent pics/videos, and communicated efficiently. I would recommend her services to anyone and I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have taken care of puppies since I was a little girl. My parents raised Dachshunds so there were always puppies. I have had dogs myself since then, sometimes having two or three at a time. Neighbors, family and friends have asked me to take care of their dogs, boarding them, bathing them and taking them for walks. I have even cut some of their nails at times. Their animals have always happy to come to my house to visit, get treats, and to just get attention. I am a retired school teacher and am recently widowed, so I live alone with my little dog. I have plenty of time to care and love for more dogs I have a large fenced yard and patio for your dog to run and play ball or share toys with my little 4 year old Miniature Dachshund, Lucy. There is also time for cuddling and relaxing.
“Esther was an absolute gem! She took care of our two pups well and kept us up to date with frequent pictures and texts of what they were doing. We truly appreciate her wonderful care. Thank you Esther!! We will call you the next time we need to board Jewel and Allie. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year!”

This is my second time leaving Cerci with Daniela! She is fantastic with our fur baby! She is amazing with communication, accomidating last min requests (like picking Cerci up from our home- thank you!!), and working with our schedule! Cerci loves spending time with her. (Daniela is great at spoiling her). I also love how Daniela sends multiple photos of Cerci so we can see how she is doing. I have taken Cerci to a few others on Rover and was left disappointed, now I won't take her to anyone else except Daniela. Im so glad she was available for us! Thank you again! We greatly appreciate you Daniela!
We had a wonderful experience! She took such great care of our two dogs and was very kind and caring. One of our dogs is very anxious, and she was so patient with him and made sure he felt comfortable and safe. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were both in such good hands while we were away. She did an amazing job, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets. We would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️
Celeste was an awesome sitter! She treated Lucy as her own and kept me updated daily with pictures and the things she had done. It was the first time I had ever left Lucy, but she made my anxiety subside with daily accounts. I definitely plan on leaving Lucy with her again if I ever need to and I would recommend Celeste to others as the best sitter they can find!
Lasaiah was very good with Chewy. He immediately took to her and he usually takes his time figuring people out. Communication was good and she updated us on how he was doing during his stay. When I returned to pick Chewy up, he was very happy and energetic. I could tell he had a great time.
This was our first time boarding our two dogs, who are 8 and 9 years old, so I was very nervous. From the moment I met Steve and Randy, I felt relieved knowing they were in good hands. They have taken wonderful care of our dogs and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with their care. They are wonderful sitters—highly recommend! Five stars! 👍🐶❤️
Candy was wonderful with Boo Bear and Suzie Bear. Both of our dogs are seniors and have medications and special care needs, and she handled everything with patience and attention. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and it was so nice to see how comfortable and happy the doggies were with her. We truly appreciate the care she gave them and would absolutely trust her to watch them again.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
